Fat Burning Foods

By Jermaco Helelad

Burning more fat and boosting your metabolism just got a little easier (and tastier). Your body uses calories to digest all foods, but the following foods require more calories to digest. The benefit for you is that you burn more calories and fat simply by eating these foods.

Lean Turkey. The protein in lean cuts of turkey can boost your metabolism, helping you lose fat and build muscle tissue which in turn burns calories. Choose boneless, skinless cuts of turkey and avoid processed deli varieties.

Oatmeal. Eating oatmeal for breakfast will provide you with a rich source of cholesterol-fighting, soluble fiber. Oatmeal helps you feel fuller longer and provides you the energy you need to make it through the day. Steel cut or rolled oats have the maximum amount of fiber. Avoid instant oatmeal, since it contains less fiber and usually has added sugar.

Grapefruit. This fat-burning powerhouse regulates your body?s insulin levels and also helps your body break down other foods more effectively while controlling your appetite. Grapefruit is also capable of dissolving fat and cholesterol. Ask your doctor before adding grapefruit to your daily diet since it may make some medications less effective.

Apples. A delicious snack for any time of the day, apples are a great source of soluble fiber, which slowly raises your blood sugar levels and keeps them elevated longer than other foods, thereby controlling your appetite. Apples contain pectin, a chemical abundant in fresh fruit like berries and especially apples. Pectin manages your cells? fat absorption and combines with water to prompt cells to release more fat.

Broccoli. Calcium has long been associated with safe and effective weight loss. Broccoli is an excellent source of calcium as well as vitamin C which helps the body absorb calcium more efficiently. Broccoli is also a great source of vitamin A, folate, and fiber. Packed with vitamins, this low-calorie vegetable helps your body fight disease.

Low-Fat Yogurt. Adding low-fat dairy products like yogurt to your diet can also help you lose weight. People who consume 3 to 4 servings of low-fat dairy products per day usually lose more weight than dieters who did not consume any low-fat dairy products. A single serving of low-fat yogurt is rich in calcium and fat-burning protein.

Soybeans. Soybeans are rich in a chemical called lecithin that protects cells from accumulating fat. The lecithin in soybeans can also help break down fatty deposits in the body. - 17268

Conserving Your Energy

By Dr. Jason Fowler

Renewability, sustainability, and energy conservation are all over the news. Every newspaper's front page and every television nightly news program features sustainability daily. These are important issues, not only for the health of our planet, but also for our physical health and well-being.

Our physical health depends on how we maximize our available energy resources, how we use our body's stores of energy, how we replace and renew that energy, and how we practice conservation of our physical energy.

The interaction of all the elements of human physiology is exactly analogous to the interaction of ecosystems in the global ecology. It's an interesting and powerful comparison.

Energy resources in our body consist of nutrients obtained from food, oxygen, and stored energy in the form of sugars (glycogen) and fats. We can gain energy by eating good food and balancing our nutritional choices from all the major food groups.1,2 We gain energy by having efficient and well-toned cardiovascular and respiratory systems. We gain energy by having strong muscles. And we gain energy by getting sufficient rest.

How we use these resources depends on instructions from the nerve system. Being able to use these resources efficiently depends on the underlying tone of our cells and tissues, which in turn depends on normal flow of information in the nerve system.

Hyperactive nerve systems and sluggish nerve systems - due to a variety of causes - create imbalances up and down the line.3 Systems perform abnormally. Your metabolism slows down or speeds up. You don't digest your food properly. You use too many or too little resources for a given task, and the job doesn't get done properly. Muscles get tight. Joints get stiff. You have pain. You get sick.

In these cases you're using more energy - due to inefficient systems - than you are taking in. You're not sustaining your resources, you're depleting them. Sooner or later, your entire system will begin to breakdown. You have chronic pain, you're tired all the time, you toss and turn when you should be sleeping, and you're irritable during the day.

Energy is not being renewed. Your body is out of balance, physically and metaphorically.

Chiropractic treatment directly addresses these energy concerns. Chiropractic care is all about your energy management and conservation of resources. Gentle chiropractic treatment focuses on restoring balance to nerve systems, muscular systems, and physical structure. Energy begins to flow to where it's needed most, chronic pain begins to resolve, and you begin to sleep more restfully. You have a greater focus and get done the things you want to get done during the day. Your relationships with family and friends are more enjoyable, and life itself becomes much more fun.

Your chiropractor - your energy conservation specialist - is an important natural resource for not only your well-being but your family's well-being as well.

Soya Protein Supplement

By Sean Julian

We usually hear about bodybuilding nutrition, about meat or the best whey protein we can take. But for sure there are also other options for vegetarians to get good protein supplements... the soy. Soybean is a plant; a legume from Africa with high medical and nutritional value. It has been used by many parts of the world for centuries to treat aliments and also as food.

People in every walk of life agree that Soy protein is now a great alternative for people looking for healthy protein in their diet. You combine this with a regular exercise program and you are on your way to health and fitness the natural way. Most folks do not know the hidden secret benefits of Soy protein.

Soy protein comes from plants. It can be used by people who are allergic to milk products or who are lactose intolerant. One of the properties of soy protein is that it increases the nutritional value of other foods that you are eating. Including soy protein as part of your diet will help to reduce your risk of heart disease. Since 1999, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has allowed food producers to include this information on their packaging. This helpful information will help you make good choices when it comes to your diet.

Consuming products containing soy protein on a regular basis will have other health benefits for you as well. If you are a woman, this change in your eating habits will lower your risk of developing breast cancer and relieve symptoms of menopause. Men who consume soy protein on a regular basis see real health benefits as well; they will be less likely to get prostate cancer.

The Soy Zone diet advocates eating foods rich in vitamins and high in protein and fiber to have balanced and healthy eating habits. Only when the eating lifestyle is healthy can people achieve optimal health. Besides protein, balanced portions of fat and carbohydrates are included. Some reviewers labeled the soy diet as among the healthiest diets with its objective of promoting balance in the hormonal systems and keep the body running at its peak of efficiency. - 17268

Everything About A Female Hair Loss Remedy Explained

By Leslie Oxley

It can be shocking and socially crippling for women to lose their hair. Those ladies who endure hair loss have distinctive emotional complications since our the social order places such a high ranking importance on covered, lengthy, luxurious hair.

The sensation that everyone is talking about you or giving you sympathetic looks are equally as disturbing when you are at work. Hair loss is something that's difficult to understand unless you go through it yourself. Depending upon age, cause, and general bodily welfare, there are different female hair loss remedies that are appropriate.

The first step is to see a physician. Hair loss can be an early sign of some diseases, like Diabetes, and these need to be ruled out. As well, if your scalp is itchy and scaly, it is possible that a bacterial or fungal infection is at work. Fortunately, these can easily be resolved.

Women often lose some hair during or immediately after pregnancy or surgery. It's not something to be alarmed about. Odds are that this is not a permanent situation and once you fix the situation, which can be as simple as starting a healthier diet, the problem will start to go away. First, rule out other more temporary causes so you can relax.

For some, hair loss is irreversible. It is there to stay unless treatments can be successful, no matter if it's the results of heredity or hormones. There is the availability of individual treatments in order to reduce the speed at which hair is lost and also to assist the growth of the hair which has been lost. Follow these suggestions to reduce your rate of hair loss.

1 - Shop for a gentle shampoo without any surfactants (lathering agents) as these can kill hair strands and are generally rough on hair.

2 - Choose a style that requires little to no blow drying or the use of curling and flat irons as these dry hair out and make it brittle.

3 - Stop coloring and treating so much: these processes damage hair, and, as it is brushed or combed, greater loss will be the result.

4 - Plan your diet: nutritionally balanced meals, specifically rich in protein and natural oils can provide good health benefits.

5 - For healthy and producing follicles, more exercise is necessary.

6 - Relax. If there are things or people during the day who routinely stress you out, then add time to relax to your routine. Yoga and other meditations can greatly reduce stress levels.

7 - Use natural remedies: In a range of mixtures, essential oils and herbs can be spread on the scalp, aiding follicles in staying open and healthy.

For reduction in rate and the potential of regrowth, there are a variety of medical options. These are advertised through all media, and most include research results which show the levels of effectiveness. Some contain both man-made chemicals and natural ingredients, some one or the other.

Solid investigation and some experimentation are warranted, so that you find the female hair loss remedy that works best for you. This can be a lengthy process, because you may have to wait 3-6 months to determine effectiveness. Female equivalents of medicines such as rogain, Provillus, and Propecia are available - and be certain you use the ones for women only.

Wigs and hair extensions can provide relief, and some women accept these as their permanent solutions.Surgery is expensive, but many opt for it every day. Female pattern baldness responds best to this method, because hair is still relatively thick in the back and can be transplanted to front and crown areas. Hair grafts are also an option when there is an overall balding concern.

Luckily, there is lots of financial support to resolve this condition. To increase medicinal preventions and remedies, research labs are functioning continuously throughout the world. There is progress in this area, and those seeking a female hair loss remedy should be smart to keep up with new research. - 17268

The Benefits Of Liquid Calcium.

By Neil Butterfield

Together, calcium and magnesium make an unbeatable pair that improves your health in many ways. Calcium, of course, you've heard of, but without magnesium, calcium cannot do the job it's meant to do. Liquid calcium is better than pill forms of calcium, and it's time you knew why.

For years, many have been trying to convince us that pills and tablets of calcium are highly absorbed, when actually they are 25% or less absorbable. And thats the difference between tablets and liquid calcium which is almost 100% available to be absorbed, because it is water soluble.

Foods that are rich in protein, like meat, actually cause calcium to be lost through our urine. Since calcium is slow to absorb from foods and pill forms of calcium, many people are lacking in calcium when they think they are actually getting enough. Liquid Ionic calcium is water soluble so it is absorbed right away. This ensures you are getting the dose you were promised.

If you think you don't need a liquid calcium magnesium supplement you are mistaken. Even with proper diet and low meats, it's still impossible to get all the calcium you need just from food. In fact, getting enough calcium can solve all sorts of problems.

Liquid calcium magnesium helps with heartburn, indigestion, and constipation. It's actually good for your digestive system overall, and the best time to take it is after you eat.

Other things calcium is good for includes; blood clotting, regulating nerve impulses, stimulating contractions during labor and producing milk.

Mild calcium deficiencies over time will lead to osteoporosis as we get older and in a child, it can lead to rickets. Another condition is called osteomalacia which is the softening of bony tissue.

Colon cancer and High blood pressure have been linked by recent studies to a lack of calcium.

Symptoms of being low on calcium include: tingling of the fingertips and around the mouth, muscle spasms, numbness and painful aches.

If you have trouble losing weight, this could also be due to lack of calcium. When you are not getting enough calcium your body thinks it's starving. This causes it to go into emergency mode and hold on as tight as it can to those extra pounds.

Calcium also does a great job of protecting the heart. When you are calcium deficient your body releases calcitriol which is a hormone that constricts your arteries causing high blood pressure. Calcium also plays an important role in your nervous system.

For sufferers of PMS, that irritability, cramps and depression you experience every month might actually be from lack of calcium. Calcium helps regulate your hormones and can improve your health during this rough time.

You're getting five times the amount of protection from liquid calcium than youd get from pills for diseases like colon cancer and polyps.

Since taking calcium won't hurt you, and taking too little definitely will; starting to take a liquid calcium supplement now is the best way to protect your health for the future. After all, you're probably calcium deficient and don't even know it. - 17268

How To Treat Cystic Acne: Using A Good Facial Cleanser for Acne Prone Skin

By Linda Robison

Finding help for acne can be difficult, but treating cystic acne is a whole different ballpark. This form of acne is very resistant to most typical adult acne treatments and often times lead to scars. Acne sufferer can also have feelings of low esteem and shame.

While some herbal acne products might be helpful for treating blackheads and whiteheads, there is no simple cure or help for treating cystic acne. Unfortunately, many people seek professional help and antibiotics for acne treatment.

We need to understand the causes of cystic acne before searching for a cure. Cystic acne usually results from overactive oil glands which form pustules underneath the skin's surface and whiteheads and blackheads on the surface.

Once this happens, pores are irritated and clogged and the skin is damaged. At this point using simple over-the-counter remedies are just not enough. Many people have to resort to prescription medication such as antibiotics for acne.

Severe Acne Treatment - Natural Cure for Acne / Prevention: Treating cystic acne requires patience. People with this condition should not try to push the cyst out, this can cause scaring. Rather, look to a good skin cleanser that kills bacteria and supports healing. This will not prevent the acne, but it will help supplement your skins ability to recover.

If you're interested in trying natural remedies, start with good hygiene by washing your face at least twice a day with a pH balanced cleanser. Also, consider other natural remedies for acne include taking vitamin B5 and zinc. These two supplements can help reduce oil production and support overall healthy skin. Unfortunately, if your cystic acne is due to a genetic predisposition or hormone imbalance, these supplements might not be enough. Many people don't realize that there is a strong connection between hormones and acne -- which makes treatment even more difficult.

The editors of Wrinkle Free Skin Tips have researched the causes of adult acne cysts and evaluated and tested hundreds of the best acne products on the market. They have found 3 quick and simple steps to address the symptoms of acne and treating cystic acne.

The first step is clean the skin with a pH balanced cleanser which keeps a good moisture balance (not too dry, not too oily) and protects against bacteria overgrowth.

The second step is to reduce present bacteria by using a good anti-bacterial treatment gel daily. This gel should also contain herbs to heal and sooth the skin. The third and last step is to treat acne at the source -- from the inside where it starts with specially formulated acne herbal remedies.

A good herbal acne treatment should include a supplement that contains specially formulated Chinese herbs such as Yellow Dock, Gardenia, Red Peony Root, Burdock, and Dandelion. These herbs attack acne from 3 different sources by cleaning the endocrine system, regulating hormones, and relaxing the nervous system. These herbs are very effective as a severe acne treatment. Following these 3 simples steps for treating cystic acne, especially the third step is essential for good results when using natural remedies for acne. - 17268

Acai Berry Success Stories: Fact or Fiction?

By Travis Van Slooten

Like with most weight loss methods, acai berry success stories are a dime a dozen: you?ve most likely heard more than a few incredible tales of people losing a pound a day and dropping five pants sizes in a week and so on and so forth. And if you?re like most people, you?ll probably take these stories with a grain of salt, and you?d be wise to do so. To be able to separate the grain from the chaff, so to speak, of these stories, you have to truly understand what acai berry does for you and your body.

The most important thing you should know is that, no matter what the ?experts? tell you, acai berry supplements alone will not make you lose weight. Behind every single one of those true acai berry success stories you?ve heard there lies a healthy diet, extensive exercise, or a diet made up exclusively of acai berry supplements. The first two are the true secrets to success with the acai berry; the third, not so much?

Think of acai berry as a turbocharger for your weight loss program. A turbocharger makes a car go faster, but alone it won't do anything. In order for the turbocharger to work, you have to attach it to a well-built engine. That engine is the core of your weight loss program. It consists of a healthy diet, exercise and plenty of rest. When you add acai berry to that kind of a program, that is when you're going to see the real benefits and that is when you will be able to write your own acai berry success stories.

What acai berry success stories often mention is the fact that you can get a lot of health advantages from it. One important benefit that you get is the presence of essential fatty acids in acai. These are vital compounds that the body alone cannot produce and one can only get from dietary intake. The berry also contains fiber that promotes a healthy digestive system. Protein is another essential component which can burn fat and help produce lean muscle. While these nutrients can aid in promoting loss of excess weight, none of them can single-handedly do it. They instead act as a catalyst that can make your weight loss program more effective.

Once you understand what these supplements actually do, you can see why people have had so much success with them. While you certainly cannot expect to pop a few pills and suddenly lose weight, you can add a healthy boost to your diet or weight loss program by adding supplements to your regime. The real acai berry success stories are the ones that tell you honestly that diet and exercise were the key and that the supplement was just a way to take it to the next level. - 17268

A perfect example of a person who should be an inspiration to us all is Dan Caro. Having been burned in a car accident when he was just 2, Dan lost his fingers and was left with only his thumbs. As time went by, he didn't let it come in the way of being a musician and went on to become a talented drummer. He just proves that the obstacles that we impose on ourselves in the form of the excuses we make up simply keep us from achieving our goals.

Get Ripped with Bodybuilding Workouts

By Quentin Sanderson

If you are one of those people whose metabolism is really fast, you must have been embarrassed by it on various counts. Looking physically fragile is not the best thing for people who are looking to make a career in sports for example. But the good news is that with proper diet charts and food intake you can put on mass, and fast. There are also some body workouts and weight lifting techniques that you can incorporate into your daily routine, to gain well-built muscles.

In a nutshell, you need to know what to eat, when to eat and how to workout, to get desired results. Just reading up things from popular body building magazines and trying them tirelessly without desired results can be quite frustrating. When you are thin and not prone to putting on weight, you need a whole new game plan to gain muscle mass, from the techniques regular bodybuilders use. You need to chart out a routine that would work for you; a combination of weight training,weight lifting techniques, cardiovascular exercises and more. A bodybuilder usually has a good physique and is only aiming towards enhancing it. For you, however, things would be little different.

However, there are effective ways to gain muscle mass. The most common technique to build muscle mass is to follow a hardgainer regimen. This weight lifting technique not only transforms your workout routine, but also changes what you eat. It is not enough to stuff yourself with calorie. No amount of sugar, cream, or butter will make you gain muscle mass. It will only make your diet a very unhealthy one and give rise to illnesses like high cholesterol and hypertension.

However, with the right kind of exercise and proper nutrition you can gain those six pack abs and the biceps and triceps you always envied on the school swimming champion! When people think that they need to have enough muscle mass to be successful sportsmen, they are thinking along the wrong side of a circular logic. Since they are sportsmen they require to build that extra muscle mass in order for their body to manage the rigorous training that they go through.

So, as you can see, just working out rigorously won't help you out one bit. This is simply because you are not of an average body structure, so your body will gain solid mass only when you give it the right amount of care, in terms of nutrients. Yes, food is as important in this weight gain regimen as exercises are, that is probably why you have been trying out all possible workouts but still staying the same.

So now that you know the secret to getting the body you have always wanted, and also know what was going wrong in your workout regimen, get that o-so-perfect body and exude charisma like never before. Looking good adds oodles to your confidence level, so always remember the fact that you are a hardgainer, that you need to take special care, and do specific workouts in order to build that coveted body. - 17268

Best Foods For Building Muscle

By Mariana Coshner

Choosing the best high-protein foods is the most important aspect of your muscle-building diet. Not only will high protein foods contribute to increased muscle, but they will also lead to better overall health. The best high protein foods are low in saturated fat, and contain "complete proteins.? Complete proteins contain the amino acids that the body needs to build muscle.

Eggs are one of the best and most readily available sources of protein. There are so many delicious ways to prepare eggs. They can be eaten for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but do not leave out the yolk. Not only are egg yolks full of quality protein, they are a major source of vitamin B12, which breaks down fat and assists with muscle contraction. Eggs are also a key source of riboflavin, folate, vitamins B6, B12, D, and E, in addition to iodine, phosphorus, zinc, selenium, calcium and iron.

If you are looking for a tasty and easily digestible source of protein, try adding fish to your diet. Fish contains very little saturated fat and carbohydrates. Your best bet is cold water fish varieties like salmon, trout, or sardines. These varieties are major sources of the muscle building essentials omega 3 fatty acids, iron, zinc and calcium. Salmon is also a high-quality protein food and abundantly rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which help reduce muscle-protein breakdown after you work out and may also improve insulin resistance.

Beans are often overlooked in the search for high protein foods. Kidney beans are a low-fat and very nutritious food that plays a large part in building muscle. Not only are beans are a major source of high quality protein, they are also high in fiber, folate, manganese, iron, phosphorus, copper and potassium.? Kidney beans contain an incredible 14 grams of protein and 11 grams of fiber per one cup serving.

An excellent source of iron and zinc, two essential minerals for muscle building and cancer-fighting selenium, beef is also the best source of creatine, which supplies your body with the energy it needs to create muscle. Extra-lean cuts of like round, loin, or flat iron varieties are among the best choices.

No muscle-building diet is complete without unsaturated fats. Unsaturated fat aids nerve transmission and helps the body absorb nutrients, assists with proper hormone function and promotes overall cell health. The best sources of unsaturated fats come from plant whole foods such as fresh avocado, olives, flaxseed, almonds and peanuts. - 17268
