Martial Arts Nutrition Guidelines

By Amanda Gamdana

Being a contestant in a MMA tournament calls for a lot of work and so, a lot of training is necessary for you to be competitive. Martial arts differ from MMA in that because in martial arts, you can only use the established techniques for that particular martial art but in the case of MMA, players can use any martial arts technique. Some of the counterattack and attack moves are allowed in the MMA but are not accepted in regular martial arts. MMA is not just a men's sport since at this very moment several women have also become part these games.

The physical prowess of players is essential and players will move faster if their muscles are strong plus enhanced senses and the knowledge of various MMA techniques can you give you an advantage and chances of winning the game. To gain more physical power, many players in the MMA use nutrient supplements which can be in the form of pellets, syrups, powders, tablets, and capsules.

Athletes now are implored to have low fat and high carbs diet since carbohydrates are the main energy source. If you intend to compete in a match or tournament, you will require a lot of energy and with adequate carbohydrates in your diet you will have energy enough to make it to the end of the fight. Besides the carbohydrates in your diet and food supplements and you'll need fiber. Pasta and bread can be rich in carbohydrates but these foods lack vitamins, minerals, or fiber and if you wish to be in good shape you should opt for natural foods.

The building blocks of the body are proteins and every athlete without regard for their sport should take sufficient proteins so if the natural foods you consume do not have proteins will want to take protein supplements A lot of companies exist all over the world that manufacture or produce these protein supplements however, you'll want to talk to your doctor before taking any kind of supplements. Medical advice is still the best because if you ingest too much of the supplements it may have harmful side effects to your body.

Health hazards can be by consuming too many fatty acids and fats so while, during short periods, they might become effective to your body over the long term, undesirable effects could become noticeable. Omega 3 is a fatty acid which is needed for stopping the excessive fat storage though it also helps to stop muscle tissue from breaking down.

Mineral supplements are just as important as that of vitamin supplements so see your doctor in order to choose your best nutritional supplements for you. Nutrition is a very important factor a player depends on to achieve victory though it is not sufficient by itself so you need to ensure that good nutrition is supplemented by an extensive knowledge of different fighting techniques. You must also have superb reflexes and sound mind, and then combining these you will have the upper hand in mixed martial arts competitions.

Mixed martial arts fighting athletes should always be conscious of how important of nutrition so they should get with their doctor or nutritionist and then by doing so, they can decide what to take. Set up an appointment with your nutritionist now while you're still training, so you can shape the condition of your body as well as your health. - 17268

The Truth About Six Pack Abs: Is It Worth It?

By Marvin Taser

America never runs out of trends and fads; if it is not getting rich quick or getting superstar famous, its getting a real fit body that is totally to die for.

But the last thing I mention does have some precedence knowing that America has a great number of obese individuals.

While surfing online, you may notice that a lot of websites are claiming that their program can make you shed those unwanted pounds or shrink your waistline in no time.

But due to past experiences of being scammed, we are often hesitant to get on the bandwagon of exercise e-books.

The most popular diet and exercise program available through the internet is The Truth About Six Pack Abs.

The Truth About Six Pack Abs is an Ab training book that focuses on toning the midsection of our body and getting those envied six pack abs. The catch is that it isnt the same as with those other Ab training books that offer general tips that you already know about.

Once you subscribe to The Truth About Six Pack Abs, you will receive a 110-page e-book that is filled with everything from training guidelines, diet specifics and various exercises to target your midsection.

The e-book will be emailed to you once you pay the one time subscription fee. Do not worry about having to let a gym trainer read the book for you and decode all the jargon because I tell you there wont be any. The e-book was written in a clear and simple manner so that you do not have to take really long pauses before you can understand what it says.

In the e-book is a number of exercises that you can do to get that body you desire without having to step out of your house. All you ever need are a few weights and an exercise ball to begin sweating your way to hot abs.

You can simply do with just a few weights and an exercise ball, however having access to a fully-equipped gym doesnt do any harm.

No matter how much you exercise, if you do not couple that with right eating it is still futile. The Truth About Six Pack Abs is different from the other diet programs because it really works. You can try it to believe it. You do not have to pay for the entire thing, you can simply subscribe to the trial package. - 17268

A Guide to Choosing the Best Vitamins for You

By Jay NaPier

You can't blink an eye without realizing that Vitamins are important for your health. Today's nutrition is weak when you consider what you eat and our hectic lifestyle..

When you look over the vitamin isle at the grocery story we've become inundated with vitamins, minerals, and suppliments available. There are so many that the average consumer can find it overwhelming. There's a ton of advertising hype and jargon to understand.

Thankfully, when you're got the knowledge about different vitamins and their purpose, you can make a great choice for your unique needs. While the vitamin industry has a ton of options, you should first consider things like quality, natural vs synthetic, and absorption rates.

Not all vitamins are created equal. There are differences in the actual types of vitamins and the ways they are manufactured and with what ingredients. This is why you want to get familure with how you read vitamin labels and know what to look for. You want to get your money's worth and improve your health.

The United States Food and Drug Administration does not regulate the sale or manufacturing of vitamin suppliments. This is good, but it is also a warning of buyer beware. There's alot to consider: Quality, Price, Potency, and effectiveness. You don't have to be in the dark when buying the best vitamins for your family.

Don't be afraid to gather more information. Call the companies with your questions. Ask them how they gather scientific date. Do they have their own lab and do they also use an independent lab. Search for online reviews to see what other consumers are saying about the products. Ask your friends and get a free sample if you can get one.

Another rather helpful thing to look for when choosing your vitamins is the USP-DSVP seal of approval. This stands for the US Pharmacopoeia Dietary Supplement Verification Program and lets you know that the vitamin manufacturer adheres to a set of high standards which are set forth by an independent, and therefore unbiased, panel of experts in the field of health and medicine.

Finally, you can check with your doctor or pharmacist. Get their opinion on the vitamins you choose, but also make sure they are the right expert for you. Many have very limited knowledge about nutrition and suppliments. The best way to compare is to try using the product. You should expect to feel a result in just a few days. If you don't, you might not be using the right suppliments. - 17268

How to Get Big Muscles Quick?

By Nicolas Cobos

How can I get big muscles? That's the question that every man on earth has at least thought about once in his lifetime. Big muscles not only give you self confidence, but also good presence among everyone. Girls would look at you all the time because you look sexy and very manly, and you will also set respect and admiration for the boys looking at you.

Now let's get down to the real thing, on how to get big muscles?

As your car needs fuel to work, your muscles need an excellent nutrition in order to recover and grow from hard workout.

The two main types of food you should consume are: Protein and carbohydrates, this to feed and give energy to the muscles. As a recommendation you should have from 5 to 6 meals a day, in order to supplement your body with the amount of food needed.

I'll tell you what! I will give you three tips in order for you to start your own process of getting big muscles:

First: Per day you should eat one gram of protein per every pound you weight. Let's say you weight 140 pounds, then you should eat 140 grams of protein per day. Talking about carbohydrates, you should eat from 2 to 3 Carbs per every pound you weigh. So if you weigh 140 pounds you should eat from 280 to 420 grams of carbohydrates per day.

Second: Drink tons of water. You need to drink at least 66 ounces of water per every pound you weigh, because your muscle is 93% water, so that will promote muscle growth and also the elimination of toxins.

Third: Train hard. To get bigger you have to stimulate your fast-twitch muscles, because these fibers can grow up to 4 times their size. The best way to get them to work is when you reach muscular failure between 6 to 12 reps, as a recommendation you should work the basic compound exercises, such as squats, barbell presses, and rows.

These three tips are the basics on how to get big muscles, but there's more than that, you need the guidance of a professional to do things the right way and obtain the desired results, which in this case are big muscles. For that I recommend you to follow an integral bodybuilding program and nutritional plan. - 17268

Beginner Weight Lifting Schedule

By Josh Owen

Are you looking for a good beginner workout schedule? Well, how about I give you the absolute best workout schedule for beginners? If you want to build muscle and strength fast, this is the workout schedule for you.

Your weight lifting schedule should be built around your body's ability to recover from a workout. Science has proven that the body needs about 48 hours to recover from a workout. So your weekly weight training schedule should look like this:

Day 1: Weight Lifting

Day 2: Rest

Day 3: Weight Training

Day 4: Rest Day

Day 5: Lift Weights

Day 6: Rest

Day 7: Rest Day

Now for the most important part of the beginner workout schedule. The quality and types of exercises you choose are very important. You should not choose isolation exercises such as leg extensions and chest flyes. You need to choose the best compound weight lifting exercises. This way, each muscle group throughout your body is sufficiently worked.

By doing so, you give yourself 3 opportunities each week to build muscle and strength. Most of the so called experts will recommend that you work each muscle group only once per week. That's nonsense. The human body can recover properly with 48 hours rest between workouts. Those so called experts just don't give the human body much credit at all.

You've got to use only the absolute best weight training exercises for each workout. Choose only a few for each workout and do multiple sets of those exercises. This gives you more practice time as a beginner. You need to practice and perfect your form as a beginner. Results will be much faster this way.

If you learn proper form on the best compound exercises, you will make faster progress. Too many people never learn proper form and waste their efforts in the gym. You're going to start out the proper way, and I'm going to help you. - 17268

The Disadvantages Of Reverse Osmosis Water Systems

By Tyler Waterman

One of the most expensive ways to filter the water coming in to your home is by purchasing and installing a reverse osmosis water filter system. However, in this case the most expensive does not necessarily mean the best. Set out below are some of the disadvantages of reverse osmosis water purifiers.

Still Being Sold

These outdated systems are still being promoted by water marketing companies that realize the profits to be made from these very expensive units that start at $10,000 each.

Newer technology allows whole house filtering systems for a fraction of that cost, and gives the user all the water that passes through the system filtered and ready to drink immediately much faster, and with vastly reduced running costs.

Waste

One of the many disadvantages of reverse osmosis water filters is the incredible amount of water that is flushed away as waste, in order to produce a tiny fraction of filtered drinking water.

Many using a septic system for their waste water have to upgrade to larger sizes because the tank couldn't cope with the amount of waste-water it was accumulating. For example, between 40 to 90 gallons of waste-water is produced in order to give the householder just 5 gallons of purified drinking water. This is an unnecessary and flagrant waste of a precious commodity.

Power Requirements

This particular system needs plenty of power in order to turn waste water in to that which is drinkable. Certainly when you take into consideration the ratio of waste water to make drinking water a lot of electricity is required and this is not only bad for your home electricity bills but for the environment as well.

Does Reverse Osmosis Make Water Safe To Drink?

The most important question that you should be asking when considering purchasing any water filtration system, especially when buying one that is costly and expensive to install.

There is certainly no doubt that such systems will make the water safer for one to drink than if you were to leave it untreated, but the simple answer to the question posed above is no.

This is because one of the major disadvantages of reverse osmosis systems is that it does not eradicate all the cysts or chemical contaminants that are found in water.

One manufacturer of such equipment has freely admitted that these units are only designed to clean up the waters aesthetic properties. They don't in fact act as a barrier against waterborne micro-biological and toxic chemicals.

One other very small but very important disadvantages of reverse osmosis filters is that they can also remove some or all of the minerals found in water. So knowing this you would be far better off using a much more inexpensive and efficient way to provide pure clean water for you and your family. - 17268

Review of the Omega OM-510 Massage Chair

By James Knolan

This review takes a close look at the middle level massage chair from the Omega Massage Corporation. Their mid level massage chair is the OM-510 Prestigio. To present a balanced review, we evaluate the recliner in 5 key categories. These categories include Warranty & Customer Service, Comfort/Ergonomics, Ease of Use, Features and Massage Therapy. Any of the categories can score from 0 to 20 points The could get a maximum score of 100 points. Obviously, that would be total excellence. Let's evaluate the Prestigio massage chair recliner.

Warranty & Customer Service: This is an important long term protection that must be factored into a big ticket item purchase. Omega provides the following warranty coverage for the Prestigio: 5 years on the frame, 3 years on parts, 1 year of shipping and 90 days in home technical service. This is the most comprehensive warranty for a mid level masssage chair. Service is quick and responsive. We give the Omega Corporation a 19 in warranty and customer service.

Comfort & Ergonomics: The comfort of a massage recliner is important, since you may want to use it just to sit. The OM-510 has a soft padded back pad and comes with a shoulder pillow and a head support pillow. Both of these are detachable. The seat is comfortable and supports the body well. Omega also includes an extra removable back pad. This is used to soften the massage if you are more sensitive. This is important as some users want a massage to be lighter than others. The chair is very well designed ergonomically. The footrest cradles the lower body well. The remote control holder is flexible and can be adjusted easily. Overall Rating for comfort and ergonomics is 17.

Ease of Use: Like any device with built in electronics, ease of use is a critical concern. A manufacturer needs to design their controls to be intuitive to use. The Prestigio has a great set of massage features built into the chair. The remote is pretty straight forward to use. It has large buttons and a backlit LCD for use in lower light settings. The LCD has icons which show exactly what massage functions are running during the programs. The only non-intuitive feature is switching from automatic programs to manual programs. This is a two step process with this massage recliner. One has to select the mode button and then select the massage technique. Most chairs allow you to select directly. This is the only issue we have seen with this remote control. Otherwise, everything is self-explanatory. Overall rating for the Omega OM-510 for ease of use is 16.

Key Features: Here is what we really like about the Prestigio OM-510 massage chair. It has a soothing reflexology foot massage and an invigorating shiatsu massage. The shiatsu massage gives great and thorough penetration to the back. The rollers reach down the lower lumbar for an excellent lower back massage. The reflexology foot massage takes the days tension right out of your feet. Place those tired, aching feet in the leg rest and let the soothing begin. The reflexology points are stimulated on the bottom of your feet while a firm compression massage takes place on the top of your feet. These key features rate an 18 on our evaluation of the OM 510.

Massage Therapy: The massage functions are included in the Prestigio includes both manual and automatic massages. The manual massage functions for the back include tapping, finger press, kneading, and Shiatsu. In the automatic massage mode select from 3 timed massages from 10, 20 and 30 minutes. You can also select from 4 back courses. These back courses focus on particular areas of the back. The manual courses include the upper back, lower back, full back and pinpoint. One excellent feature of the Prestigio is its back coverage. It penetrates the lower back or lumbar area very effectively. Much better than most massage chairs on the market today. The lower body massage is covered with an air system. It has effective coverage of the buttocks, thighs, calves and feet. Our overall rating for the Prestigio massage recliner for massage therapy is 19.

Overall Rating: We give the OM-510 Prestigio an 89/100. We think this is a very impressive and effective massage chair. You will have years of relief and invigoration with the Prestigio. This massage recliner comes in a beautiful design with wood armrests and plush back pad. A designer side table also comes with this mid level massage chair. You get the most comprehensive warranty with the Prestigio from Omega. This massage recliner has it all. - 17268

Knee Surgery: Reconstruction of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament

By Dr. Stefan Tarlow

An Overview of ACL Reconstruction

The ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) is the stabilizer of the knee. It is torn easily because of the extent of activity and stress the knee joint is subjected to on a regular basis and the location of the ligament. Each patient must make the choice as to whether or not his or her ACL damage should be treated surgically.

The choice is based on factors such as the extent of damage to the rest of the knee structure, the knees stability, the activity level and age of the patient. If the patient will be able to return to the pre-injury activity level, surgery is usually recommended.

ACL reconstruction can stabilize the knee and prevent further damage to the articular cartilage and the cartilage cushions, known as the menisci. It can also help in preventing premature knee deterioration.

Without exception, ACL reconstruction is performed arthroscopically. I personally prefer to use an autograft-tissue graft. Autograft is a graft harvested from the patient. An allograft, which is harvested from a cadaver is another possibility.

However, I believe these are subject to problems in the long term. Indeed, recent research has shown that patients under the age of 24 who receive an allograft and then participate in an aggressive rehabilitation program are 10-25% more likely to have a high failure rate.

Click here to learn more about knee arthroscopy.

My preference is to use a Patellar Tendon Autograft combined with interference screw fixation when dealing with patients under thirty years of age who do not have any underlying patellofemoral disease. I also prefer Hamstring Autograft (semitendinosis and gracilis combined) using rigid extra-articular fixation (Rapid Loc or Toggle Loc) on the femur along with a Washer Loc on the tibia.

If my patient is under the age of 25, I am willing to use an allograft only if the patient will avoid aggressive and competitive sports for a complete year. This will allow the allograft enough time for healing. Additionally, I am willing to use allografts if I am reconstructing more than one ligament.

The ACL acts to provide stability for the knee and to keep stress at a minimum across the knee joint:

Excessive forward movement of the tibia (lower bone of the leg) in relation to the femur (thigh bone) is also prevented by the ACL.

Excessive rotational motion of the knee is also kept under control by the ACL.

Are Resveratrol Benefits True?

By Louis T. Golenbrecks

No doubt you've heard claims like this before, haven't you? Whenever a new supplement or natural food source comes on the market, we're told that, finally, we've found the key to everlasting life and health.

Are you like me? Have you totally taken the bait with other promises and gone out and purchased all kinds of pills and supplements that promised to be the holy grail for your mind and body.

Some of them have no doubt been beneficial to you. I know that a fair number of supplements I take on a daily basis definitely help improve my life -- and probably even extend it. But for each of them that works, there's another one right behind it that doesn't.

Sound familiar to you? So when the news first broke about resveratrol and it's supposed fountain-of-youth qualities, I naturally got excited and wanted to rush out and buy resveratrol, but I also tried deliberately to tone down my enthusiasm. I guess you can say that this is just a kind of side effects of having seen all this before.

Don't forget that there is a difference between resveratrol and a host of other solutions that we've heard about before. Resveratrol actually has studies -- real studies, done in a real lab -- that back up the claims.

In fact, the research is so promising, and apparently so convincing, that even major U.S. pharmaceutical outfits are now trying to get in on the act.

So can we trust what we're hearing about resveratrol? Just because I'm not a doctor, it doesn't mean I can't read the evidence, and still believe that it is.

But of course, as always, there is a caveat. Whenever anything gains a sudden popularity the way resveratrol has, you're going to find that a lot of unqualified manufacturers are going to jump on the bandwagon and start to try and supply this to a hungry public.

So it should be obvious that you need to be cautious about who supplies your resveratrol. I'm show you what I think is the very best way to find the highest quality resveratrol around at this Buy Resveratrol Supplements review page. So click on the link so I can share that with you.

And before I forget, I should also tell you that you can find out how to get your own supply of resveratrol for nothing. This is really awesome, so make sure you check out that link!)

First, just in case you weren't aware, I wanted to go through some of the resveratrol benefits so that you can see what has everyone so excited.

Did you know that resveratrol is even more powerful than vitamin C as an antioxidant? 50 times more powerful in fact?

But all of this is just getting started. In lab tests, subjects given resveratrol performed better on all kinds of physical and mental tests -- in other words, they performed as though they were much younger. But this doesn't even begin to cover the whole story.

I think that this is probably the number one reason that people are so excited. Now, remember that were talking about a substance that occurs naturally, and that apparently stops the aging process.

I just also want to point out as a caveat that we don't have a time of long-term studies on resveratrol yet. It could just be me, but it doesn't make much sense to wait for 20 years until I start getting sick to try and keep myself healthy.

I would definitely rather work on slowing down my own bodies aging today rather than wait. I would think that down the road I'll be able to say that my decision right now was one of the smarter things I've done. - 17268
