The Number One Reason Why We Do Not Live Longer

By Samantha Tidy

A major cause of our bodies aging and becoming damaged is free radical damage. Free radicals come about as a result of the environment, caused by such things as pollution and exhaust fumes etc. It was Dr Denham Harman who was the first person to realise that free radicals were causing damage.

As we progress in years, an increased amount of free radical garbage accumulates in our bodies. The good thing is that we are not completely powerless when presented with this predicament.

Free radicals Destroy the Integrity of Cells The cellular free radical debris that builds up over the years, because of its highly reactive chemical nature, devastates the cellular structures-including the active organelles and our genetic material (DNA and RNA). Consequently, a fifty-year-old has been subjected to forty more years of free radical damage than a ten-year-old has.

The products of oxidation act like time bombs to destroy your cells

How energy is extracted from food, is by using Oxygen, and this very function is called Oxidation. Oxygen is very important in our lives not just for breathing purposes, but for general cell functioning and other purposes too. Scientists have now confirmed that our air is composed of 20 percent Oxygen and 80 percent Nitrogen, so although there seems to be enough Oxygen present, there is 4 times more Nitrogen present.

It is the oxidation of food that gives us the required energy to live and carry on with our lives, however as well as oxidation providing this useful aspect, unfortunately as a result of oxidation free radical damage becomes present and this as mentioned eats away at our body. It is however good news that there are ways to supplement and prevent free radical damage from taking place. Alpha lipoic acid is one of the supplements that can be used to prevent such damage. It maybe time for you to start considering supplementing with alpha lipoic acid purely because excessive free radical damage can result in organ failure and therefore death.

Free Radicals Can Be highly dangerous Free radical molecules have uneven numbers of electrons, which makes them highly unstable. The free radical always attempts to stabilize its own molecular structure by grabbing an electron from a stable molecule, which has pairs of balanced electrons. So any stable molecule that comes in contact with a free radical is in danger of losing an electron to this unstable electron thief. This process results in a chain reaction that may destroy the delicate structure of the cell.

A substance which people can take which fights free radicals is alpha lipoic acid and it is suitable for the majority of people. - 17268

How to Easily Control Your Expanding Waistline with Common Sense

By Thong M. Dao

There's no magic bullet or quick fix diet plans to go about it. When you get right down to it, heaping your body with essential nutrients is still the key to effective weight control.

If you're giving over 100% effort, to consume only healthy foods and exercise and yet are unable to reach your weight loss goal, I would recommend you to see your doctor. You may have a problem absorbing food properly. Your doctor may have to assist you with medication.

Let's turn to the average weight-challenged individual, though. Many people grappling with excess pounds lament that though they start out well and stick to good diet plans, they end up feeling deprived soon enough and succumb to food cravings, ending up where they started.

How do we handle these problems? Natural medicine and nutrition experts believe the body can be trained to realize when you are actually hungry for food vs. to eat just to eat. The trick is to figure out how to suppress our appetite, especially at gather, like cookouts. As soon as you can distinguish actual hunger from desire, you will be well on your way to trimming body fat.

Nutrition experts suggest a few tips and reminders, too, to empower people to handle their `weighty' issues well. These include:

1. Increase metabolism

2. Becoming aware of how your body is absorbing nutrients and other body conditions

3. Exercise regularly, with no ifs, ands or buts.

4. Consume well-balanced meals; fruits and vegetables, and low glycemic index foods. This will curb your appetite and assist your weight loss. Keep in mind you need to consume foods that are healthy.

There are many different weight loss programs available. However, many people will try a quick fix which we call fads. Stay away! Do not waste your time and money. Remember to consume healthy foods (fruits, vegetables, protein, and dairy) not junk food (cakes, drive-thru window hamburger & fries).

Omega-3 fatty acid-rich foods like salmon, mackerel and herring likewise aid overweight people who follow a weight loss program (that includes exercise) achieve greater control over blood sugar and cholesterol levels.

Other food sources that are known to promote weight loss include green tea extract (but check with your doctor for the right dosage lest it create iron deficiency) which offers the same kind of calorie-burning effect as hot pepper. There is also virgin coconut oil, a few tablespoons of which can contribute to flavorful meals and overall health in the long run. - 17268

Bucks County Experts on Fat Loss - Strength Plus Length

By Dan Solaris

We are living in a culture of quick, delicious, fatty food and it's getting harder and harder to keep the flab away. However, overweight people have a wide range of fat-loss programs available to them. It just takes choosing the type of workout scheme that will make it easy for an individual to stick to.

Most fitness experts prescribe the usual combination of cardio exercises and muscle-building routines for clients struggling with weight. With the wide variety of variations to choose from it's a wonder why a lot of folks still find it a challenge to keep working out consistently.

A lot of people are still unaware of the usefulness of Pilates for losing weight and getting lean. More than a few novice gym goers stop working-out because they find their programs too dull and tiring. Because Pilates workouts are done at a low intensity and are invigorating, they're actually perfect for beginners who want to lose belly fat without dreading each session.

Pilates can even be the ideal fat-loss method of choice for the aged and those with physical ailments since the exercises aren't really high impact like conventional exercise programs are. Besides muscle strength and suppleness, flexibility and balance are also developed because most of the moves are executed while trying to keep one's body stabilized.

Cardio combined with strength training is the most common exercise program prescribed for fast and effective fat loss. Incorporating Pilates sessions with these will improve fat-burning efficiency of your workouts even more.

Along with cardio exercise, resistance training through free weights or machines is needed in a good fat-loss exercise program because the extra muscle tissues help fight flab. Muscle development can lead to stiffness of however and this is where the stretches and joint-loosening moves in Pilates can come in handy.

Core-based exercises are the essentially what Pilates is about. Simultaneous effort of the muscles of the abdomen, the waist, lumbar region and buttocks allow faster calorie burn- leading to faster loss of weight due to a reduced body fat index.

A high metabolism is one the best weapons against body fat because it allows for more calories burned throughout the day. Regular stretching of muscle tissue lengthens and tones them up resulting in a longer, leaner physique, higher metabolic rate, and better results from fat loss efforts. - 17268

Why Should We Consider Supplementation

By James Cushion

A lot of us take supplements, but what is the underlying reason why we supplement? What do we get from supplement taking? And the question to ask ourselves is why should we consider consuming vitamins and minerals and other supplements? The truth is that the vast majority of the public consume supplements to give our bodies a much needed immune system boost and to give ourselves a sense of general good well being.

The truth of the matter is, that a lot of us supplement and take vitamins purely because we do not get enough of vitamin content from our diets. Unfortunately simple sugar foods and processed foods are not abundant with the essential nutrients etc we require.

Doctors and health professionals have for many years have been promoting the effects of consuming lots of fruits and vegetables, however it still seems that some people are reluctant to increase their natural fruit and vegetable intake.

The good news is, that the vast majority of us on the planet consume meat, and as we consume meat we do get some valuable content in the form of vitamins and in particular iron. Iron is essential for general well being, so if you eat a lot of meat, then chances are that you have more then enough iron circulating around your body to take care of you.

The bad news is present for vegetarians as unfortunately without meat the body is not getting as many nutrients as it needs.

It also may not surprise you to learn that as a nation we are becoming more lazy and it seems that being lazy and having a poor diet go hand in hand. Just think about stereotypes for a moment who tend to be larger in some professions compared to others. A profession which may spring to mind could be long distance truck drivers. We tend to have these stereotypical ideas purely because people like this do not get much spare time and then rely on processed food etc which tends to result in weight gain.

Reading this article, you may think there is nothing you can do, that is up to fate with regards to what happens next. Fortunately it is not. All you need to do is listen carefully to your body. All of us in our life have had cravings of some sort. These cravings are our bodies way of telling us what foods we want. Have you ever craved a chocolate bar before when you do not normally eat chocolate? This is your bodies way of telling you it needs some simple sugar. Be careful though as listening to your body is an art, do not get confused with listening to your body and 'thinking' you are listening to your body and eating for the sake of it.

If you start to feel lethargic, or keep catching colds or just feel unwell etc, that is when you should turn to supplementation. Supplementation can also be an answer for prevention too.... If you wish to stop catching colds etc, then start supplementing now. - 17268

Lose Weight With The Wave - The Firm Wave Reviews

By Carol J Bartram

What regular exercisers regularly ask me is if the Firm Wave is any use to them as they are not novice exercisers, nor beginners, nor overweight, in fact most of them are an awful lot fitter than I am! They are interested as to whether the Firm Wave can give them a workout that is intense enough for their fitness goals; some are in training for distance running, and some are just regular exercisers who enjoy keeping fit and seek new challenges.

My answer to them is the same as it is to the novices; the Wave is suitable for anyone at any exercise level and the intensity of the workout that you get from the Wave will depend on the effort that you put in. In other words, a Wave workout can be as varied and intensive as you want it to be; because it is so versatile there are lots of ways to change your workouts to keep them fresh and to keep your body guessing as to what is coming next.

I'm always telling my regular personal training clients that their workouts must change in order for them to progress. Our bodies are very clever and over millions of years of evolution have learned to adapt to whatever stresses and strains we place upon them; once used to a particular form of exercise, the body wastes as little energy as possible in carrying it out. This is the true meaning of efficiency, and our bodies are extremely efficient machines if kept properly and looked after carefully.

The first few weeks of any new exercise programme when you get the biggest bang for your buck, as your brain and heart and muscles scramble to adapt to what you have asked of them. Lots of energy is expended, which burns fat, muscles strengthen and become shapely as they are forced to work much harder than they are used to, and your heart and lungs become much more efficient circulating blood and oxygen around the body to keep up with your demands.

The great thing about using the Firm Wave for your workouts is its incredible versatility. As the DVDs show, there are many different things that can be done with the Wave. Curve side up, there are all sorts of step and aerobic moves around, on and over the Wave. Add hand weights to these moves and you present your body with a whole new set of challenges. Flip the Wave over and you can do an equal number of aerobic strength-based exercises with the added bonus of an unstable surface to work with, making your body work in a wholly different way, burning a large amount of calories and vastly increasing your fitness gains. - 17268

Have You Ever Thought of a Raw Foods Diet?

By Thong M. Dao

Many individuals are interested in caring for their health. We could all improve our physical condition, so all in all, it's a pretty good thing. But healthy practices are often equated to some bad practices by some individuals.

For instance, the weight loss industry has no shortage of gimmicky diets that will let you quickly and easily drop a few pounds, but which will leave you subject to later well-being problems. This is the primary reason why many people are beginning to maintain a diet that is simple and healthy.

Among the best eating plans is a diet consisting mainly of raw foods. Feeding on uncooked fruits and vegetables always has made many people become healthy in surprising ways.

The trouble with this type of diet is that it's difficult to stick to as we're perpetually around cooked food which both looks and smells delicious. Most of us just like to eat food that is cooked on occasion. How can someone have fun with the benefits of eating in this way but not go over the top?

A common diet you may want to try out is the high raw one. It's when a person will consume uncooked food much of the time but will keep to eat cooked food periodically, sometimes as frequent as everyday. This provides you with the best of both worlds.

You are having more than just the benefits from the raw food - you're also allowing yourself to live in today's world by consuming cooked foods from time to time. Your life could be reflected on the benefits of the food you eat.

Once you abide by this eating style, you'll be astonished at how rapidly you see positive changes. In fact, many people have enjoyed switching to this form of eating so much they would continue to do so even if the weight loss advantages were not there.

The results are felt in your overall well-being from this. Therefore, a high raw eating style can assist you in the quest to be healthy while slimming down in the modern world. - 17268

Bucks County Trainers On Free Online Ab Workouts - The Difference Between Free and Free Trial

By Jose Loni

What's the difference between free and free trial when it comes to online ab workouts? Both types of online ab workouts are worth trying because they get you started moving towards an active lifestyle. But you should remember that the workouts must include healthy eating habits as well as physical activity that include exercises to increase your body's metabolism.

Free ab workouts and free trial ab workouts are both good because they help you get started. If you know your goals, you can determine whether or not the free ab workouts will be effective for you. Sometimes, the exercises shown are just ab crunches and don't consider other factors to help you lose fat.

Unfortunately, there are also a lot of untrained people who post exercises that are just not safe to do and which actually cause injuries. These sites are usually linked to a related item they are trying to push.

Know your goals, and know what the ab workout is training. In doing so, you can determine if the program being offered is effective or not. An example is if the program offers just abdominal crunches and don't discuss other aspects of diet or metabolism. A program like that would not be effective in achieving rock hard abs and would just frustrate the consumer.

Free trial ab workouts on the other hand, usually give you a sample of a program that will either work for you or not. Either way, you can choose to continue with the program or not.

Online ab workouts that have retained health experts as part of their staff to help explain and answer questions about exercise, nutrition and general health topics are good because there is a support network to keep clients motivated and informed.

A reasonable online program is also one that educates about proper nutrition and its role in achieving your fitness objectives. This includes topics such as what foods to eat, which to avoid and how to attain nutritional balance.

The online program should also talk about the types of exercises you need to be doing to get to your goals. For example, target area exercises don't work because spot reduction doesn't work. Instead, it should teach you to focus on doing full body exercises to speed up your metabolism enough to burn fat to get to your goals.

At the end of the day, free online ab workouts work well to get you started, but finding the right program is still key to keep you on track and actually realize those fitness goals. - 17268

Do You Know How To Grow Taller Naturally even after Puberty?

By Kenneth Jones

You want to grow taller, but you're past puberty. Is increasing your height still possible? Did anyone ever tell you that you can still grow taller even after puberty, just by changing your food and daily routine?

Most of us have been told that once you are past puberty, it's not possible to grow any taller. Our growth spurts would have been over by then, and we would have to settle for whatever we have. However, how to grow taller naturally is possible at any age. The good news is you can add inches to your height just by making a few changes in your diet and lifestyle.

Your body has a natural tendency to grow, especially when you are younger. It's best to start as early as possible so you can achieve the maximum height possible. If you don't know, food that you eat is important in your journey towards becoming as tall as you can be. Why? Because with the proper nutrition, your body has the best ingredients to rebuild itself and grow. Nutrition is more important than what most people think.

As you start a "How To Grow Taller" program, proper diet and nutrition planning are critical to get the most out of your height increase exercises. Foods that are rich in calcium, amino acids, essential proteins and calories will greatly improve your body's ability to increase in height. Because without having the proper foods, there's nothing for your body to draw on to rebuild itself and grow taller!

With nutrients, using the right exercises to help you grow taller will give you additional benefits... and here's why:

Calcium is needed for your body to replace old, dying cells with young and healthy ones. It is also responsible and crucial for healthy bone growth and proper functioning of your muscles. This is why you hear how you need to have calcium rich foods to build strong and healthy bones!

Guess what keeps your heart beating steadily, and your blood, nervous system and muscles functioning properly? Yes, it's true. Calcium helps your body to do all these things. Do you know that your body will steal calcium from your bones if you don't get enough of it? And in time, this will cause your bones to weaken and may even cause the onset of osteoporosis.

Proteins also help you to grow taller naturally. The building and repair of our body tissues requires the use of protein. Our bodies undergo natural wear and tear as we go about our daily activities, especially during exercises. To rebuild and keep our body healthy and functioning right, protein is needed. Protein also produces other substances our body needs in daily life. Substances like enzymes and hormones.

The things that our body does, like water balancing, transporting nutrients, and contracting muscles will be impaired when you don't get enough protein. Helping our body to resist diseases that commonly occur to malnourished people is also something that protein does. To keep us from getting easily fatigued, protein is needed by our body to produce stamina and energy.

Amino Acids. They are the "building blocks" of protein. In fact, did you know that proteins used in the growth, repair and maintenance of body tissues are made from 20 different types of amino acids? While 11 of these amino acids can be made by our body itself, the other 9 essential amino acids have to come from external sources through our diet. However, whether internally manufactured or derived from food sources, our bodies need all 20 amino acids to be healthy.

One of the critical factors to grow taller naturally is your diet and nutrition plan. While it's not the only thing to look at, it's a necessary and critical element of your height increase program. Nutrients are required as the materials used by your body to repair and rebuild itself. When you eat right, and have a good solid diet, you naturally give your body better building materials to work with. And this is one of the simplest and most natural of ways to grow taller naturally.

If you really want to grow taller, have more confidence and be noticed, you need a comprehensive Grow Taller program that works. You can add 2 - 4 inches to your height in 6 weeks! See our top recommended solution that will help you grow taller even after puberty @ http://www.growtallerproductreports.com. - 17268

Trends in Smart Lipo

By Art Gib

Over the years, liposuction has evolved to the point it is at now. At one time, it was a procedure for the rich. Wealthy people would disappear for a few weeks and come back to the social circuit thinner than they were when they left. Now, liposuction is more inclusive. The prices have dropped dramatically, and the procedure is much safer than it was in the past. That means more people are now turning to liposuction as a way to get the body they want.

Even though the procedure was dangerous and lost its following, the idea behind the procedure managed to gain momentum. The public liked the idea of removing fat surgically. However, they wanted a method that was safer. Research was done in order to find a way to remove fat without losing as much blood.

That is when the cannula was introduced. It was realized that a cannula could provide a safer surgery. Surgeons began using the cannula technique, but there were still problems. Bleeding was an issue, as was the anesthesia. It took some time for science to progress to the point of finding better safety measures.

In the early days of modern liposuction, it was not a pleasant procedure. Imagine getting fat removed by having rotating scalpels put into your body as a way to remove fat. The electric scalpels uses in the 1970s were taken from a gynecological procedure and used in liposuction.

It was during the 1990's that the use of ultra sound was introduced as another way of performing the procedure. The use of high powered sound waves to break down the fatty tissue was a significant step toward making liposuction both safer and less intrusive.

The result of 30 years of advancement in the field of liposuction has meant that more fatty material can now be removed while reducing blood loss, discomfort, and risk for the average patient. In fact, one of the more significant outcomes for this procedure is what has become known as autologous fat transfer, or the reintroduction of removed body fat into other areas of the body where body contouring is wanted.

The new procedure called for the area to be saturated with saline and anesthetic. The results offered a great deal of hope for the medical community. Less bleeding occurred and finally people did not have to be put to sleep when undergoing the procedure. This was a great development in regards to the surgery.

Still, it was not enough. Even though there were fewer risks, it was still not as safe as the medical community wanted it to be. There were deaths associated with liposuction, and there were other problems as well. The community worked hard to find a solution that would present more benefits and fewer risks. - 17268

Does a High Carbohydrate Diet Tend to Make Me Bruise More Easily?

By Carolyn Cooper

If you are someone who is subject to bruising easily and someone who is looking to make sure that you no longer do so, it might be time to take a closer look at your diet. One of the major culprits that have arisen in recent years is carbohydrates, and they have been blamed for practically everything under the sun. Happily enough though, carbohydrates do not have anything to do with causing you to bruise more easily, but the truth is that you should know more about the foods that are high in carbohydrates.

When you get right down to it, bruising more easily than you should is usually a sign of the capillaries in your body growing more delicate, or even frail, as we age. When you want to make sure that you do not bruise easily, you should look into foods and nutrients that allow you to build up your ability to strengthen or repair those weakened capillaries, like iron, vitamin K and vitamin C. Where carbohydrates can help involves the fact that they are important when it comes to keeping your immune system in good working order and making sure that your body has the energy in reserve to deal with the damage that is done through bruising. Carbohydrates can help you get over a bruise sooner than you might otherwise.

The first thing that you need to consider is the fact that carbohydrates are not all bad for you, and as a matter of fact, they are necessary in order to keep your body functioning well. They aid your body in doing numerous things; including storing and transporting energy and helping you maintain good cell health. Similarly, you'll also find that they can play a role in stimulating your immune system, as much or more than any other food does.

What are the best sources of carbohydrates out there for you when you are looking to eat healthily? You may want to consider whole grains, fruits and beans. These foods not only provide you with a healthy dose of carbohydrates, you'll also find that you are going to be getting some great sources of minerals, fiber, and vitamins. Not only can you get some level of vitamin K and vitamin C, you can also move forward and make sure that you get carbohydrates that are easy to digest.

Another connection that carbohydrates have with bruising is that carbs can be tied to diabetes. One of the indications of diabetes is bruising easily, and eating too many carbohydrates from highly processed foods like sugared sodas, fast foods, and other sources is a prime cause of diabetes.

Spend some time and make sure that you really consider what your options are going to be when you are trying to be sure that youre eating a well balanced diet. Easy bruising can be a sign that something is wrong in your body, so pay attention and make sure that you are eating in a way which keeps you healthy. - 17268
