Addiction
A long time ago when I first was told to attend AA meetings, I heard people talk about recovery and how they were always going to be in recovery. At least that’s what I thought I heard. It was a long time ago and I may have just heard what I wanted to hear but that’s beside the point. The point is that what I heard back then was how miserable people were and how much life sucked and how terrible it was that they couldn’t drink anymore. I heard all this complaining about life and I wanted nothing to do with it. I figured that if this is what happens when you quit drinking then I’m not going to do it.

2 Keys to Building Pure Muscle

April 28, 2007 By: blogger Category: Nutrition, Modern Fitness General No Comments →

The things I’m about to mention are vital for muscle building, while putting on the least amount of fat that you can. How much of each you gain will depend on mainly your body type (Nothing you can do about that) and how smart you are about how you go about it. So lets have a look at what will really help you how to build muscle tissue.

The first thing I’m going to mention is also the most important. If you don’t have your diet in check, you may as well not even bother about turning up to the gym. Seriously, most of the people who never see results, never see results because of their poor diet. Theres an old saying in the muscle building world that says how much you eat determines whether you gain or lose weight, but what you eat determines what you gain or lose.

How To Gain Weight ?

April 27, 2007 By: blogger Category: Popular Diets No Comments →

Gaining weight is more difficult than losing it. You are not alone. Either the lack of appetite makes it very difficult to force down extra food. Or alternatively filling up on ‘fast food’ only generates fat and not muscle fibre. How have you tried to gain weight before through consuming fast food and sugary Foods? And if you do gain weight its just around the stomach? And your body fat % is more that of an overweight person? So the aim to put on muscle fibre not fat.

What about Negative nutrition? Rate yourself on a scale of 1-10 on negative nutrition Smoking, alcohol, coffee, stress, fast food, processed food, prescription medication all make it more difficult to absorb the nutrients from food. Are you getting a balanced diet? A balance of complex carbohydrates, proteins, dietary fibre, minerals and vitamins? Have you taken shakes in cows milk and felt bloated, lethargic and then lost your appetite? Lactose intolerance is a common problem

Walked into a high street store and they’ve are recommended shakes designed for bodybuilders, yet you’re not doing any work with weights? Or you have bought a shake sold on the high street? Check labels for ingredients i.e. do they contain water/sugar/corn syrup and maltodextrin (one major brand)? So these are sugar drinks promoted as balanced nutrition!

Been to the gym for weight training and now your lighter than when you started? Playing lots of sports? Burning more fuel than consuming? Exercising with weights will help you if are already “eating lots of food and not putting on weight”as apposed to having a poor appetite. However, exercise burns up fuel,so important to follow fuelling and refuelling routines.

Exercise also drains nutrients. Is your body getting enough of the essential nutrients (minerals and vitamins) to utilise its fuel supply. Relying on your supermarket to supply fresh fruit & vegetables crammed with nutrients. Early harvest, agri-chemicals, long storage, processing and over cooking all deplete the natural content of fresh produce. Are you taking a quality vitamin and mineral supplement from a specialist supplier i.e. not from the high street?

You need to regularly take in more calories than you burn to gain weight. Set yourself realistic target weights, and aim to gain gradually. To put on a lb per week you need to plan in an extra 500 nutritious calories or so to your usual daily intake. It’s best to do this as part of a balanced diet, rather than simply eating more fried foods or unhealthy snacks.

Changing eating habits is a long process of 90 days + and is the crucial factor for success in gaining and maintaining your Weight Gain. It takes tens of years to develop eating habits and you shouldn’t ‘think that 1 month is enough to change this reality. You need to follow a weight gain programme for the body to ‘forget’ the old weight and ‘get used ‘ to the new one.

These hormones affect the skin and prevent it from forming the collagens and elastins necessary to keep it taut and healthy.

Trampoline Safety Issues & Risks

April 25, 2007 By: blogger Category: Modern Fitness General No Comments →

Let me first clarify something: when I refer to items as “cheap” in this article, I am referring to the quality and not necessarily the price. There are many high quality pieces of equipment that are “cheaply” priced and there is no reason to suspect any problematic capabilities to be present simply because of a lower priced piece of merchandise. The issue within this particular article is the effective danger of a cheap trampoline to your family and friends.

Many of us are bargain-hunters, meaning that we have the stubbornness to look for a bargain on anything and everything because of an instinctive wish to save a few dollars. We want good quality products and do not want to pay a lot of money for it and there is nothing wrong with saving money. Some of us, however, couple that desire to save money with a rather inexcusable outlook on the quality of the products we shop for and end up purchasing “lemons” for the sake of saving a few dollars.

There are, of course, quite a few areas in which we should not risk a “lemon” purchase and one of these areas is the trampoline arena. If you are purchasing a trampoline for your family to use, you need to examine closely the fact that each year hundreds of adults are injured on trampolines. This should be enough of a motive to help you stray from the bargain priced trampoline purchase and select a model with a lot more safety capabilities. This can, however, be a challenging task.

Sort Through the Nonsense

Searching through all of the bargain priced trampoline propaganda to discover the truth about good quality trampoline materials and equipment can be an arduous and grueling job that may not seem worth it to many people. It can be easier to simply buy that bargain priced used trampoline from your neighbor and patch over the hole with some duct tape, but in the long run there is nothing easy about a visit to the emergency room because of a malfunction in the springs.

In fact, despite the obvious health and fun benefits, trampolines have been highlighted by the American Association of Pediatrics as generally unsuitable for children, whether indoors or outdoors, due to the potential danger factor. However, it’s easier said than done to convince children otherwise, therefore the AAP advises that should you go ahead with a trampoline, makes sure it’s as safe as it can possibly be.

Consider trampolines that are enclosed as they prevent falls and ensure that your trampoline has protection mats around the spring area. These features are never offered by a cheap trampoline, however, so make sure you are capable of handling this investment or you will be bouncing your way to a payday loan before you know it. You can’t put a price on happiness, but you certainly can put a price on safety.

How To Manage Stress

Everyone is individual and each person has to find what helps him or her get away from pressure or relieve stress. What’s more important to remember is that stress relief techniques aren’t perfect, and there’s very little that will eliminate stress completely. What’s important is trying different activities or ways to relax and keep stress at manageable levels. Practicing the techniques that work for you on a regular basis will help you feel more balanced and able to enjoy life.

Laser Hair Removal Versus Electrolysis

April 23, 2007 By: blogger Category: Hair Loss No Comments →

While electrolysis has been around for many years, laser hair removal is becoming a viable option for many. We’ll take a look at both methods of hair removal and help you determine the best for your situation and needs.

The newest hair removal method to be put on the market is laser hair removal. Since advancements of all types of procedures using lasers have become more and more advanced in recent years, it is no surprise that lasers are now being used to remove hair. A wavelength of energy is omitted by the laser, working to kill the hair from its base.

The most appealing characteristic of laser hair removal is that after a small number of treatments your hair should be completely dead and you will never have to worry about hair on that specific portion of your body again. Laser hair removal treatments can be spread out farther than other types of hair removal treatment since the laser hair removal process slows the growth of hair.

Laser hair removal may seem like the most appealing hair removal procedure but there is a downside. Since laser hair removal is a relatively new procedure and can be high in demand compared to the number of specialists licensed to practice the procedure, the cost of laser hair treatments can be relatively high. In comparison to the other methods of hair removal, laser hair removal is by far the most costly.

A method similar to laser hair removal but that has been around much longer is that of electrolysis. When removing hair by electrolysis, the technician uses a needle that projects an electric current into the hair follicle, killing it at the root. By sending the current directly to the root of the hair follicle it prevents hair from growing back in the same spot.

Although it may take longer than laser hair removal, electrolysis is another way to permanently remove hair in a certain area. Like laser hair removal, this takes a number of repeat appointments for treatment. Electrolysis often requires treatment for anywhere up to a year to a year and a half for the hair to be completely removed. Like laser hair treatment, electrolysis can cause some discomfort and pain during treatment when the electric current is killing the hair follicle but it should not last longer than a few minutes after the treatment has ended.

With both treatment methods a viable option, laser hair removal provides the most obvious benefits. You’re able to spread out treatments and require fewer sessions to achieve the same results as electrolysis. That said, you’re only problem may be finding a practitioner with an opening in her schedule!
