Tsunami Strike Proves To Be A Phenomenal
Nitric Oxide Product

I train on the Tsunami Strike and man what a difference it makes…I started my workout not even wanting to be on the bike and by the end I was smoked but felt great and the Tsunami Strike was the key to getting through the workout…

I was introduced to Tsunami Strike about a month and a half ago and as a result my training has increased significantly in the areas of cardiovascular endurance, stamina and in my ability to recover quicker.

The hardest part is trying to have that empty stomach at the end of the day before my workout…I get home and I’m starving for some reason but as soon as I get the Tsunami Strike going bam! I’m in the game and ready to go.

Got 2nd Overall/Elite in the Tri-Miami triathlon last Sunday!

* Why Nitraplex Is A Safer Alternative To Other Energy Drinks

I don’t use typical energy drinks because I know what they do to the body They are generally harmful to the body. These types of energy drinks force the body to react.

Most energy products I have seen are forcing the body to do something that is physically not able to do. So if you are tired you are taking energy drinks to get untried you are forcing the body to do something it is not able to do” the long term effects are difficult to determine but there will be side effects.

A product like Nitraplex is natural and enables the body to run through its normal biological process, you are enabling the body or assisting the body to function. There are no setbacks or downsides to a product like Niraplex this is why you feel the response of more focus heightened energy no jitters or crash.

Dr. S. Gregory PHD,ND

Nitraplex Pre workout is by far the best energy supplement I have ever taken.

Now that I am a retired three time super bowl winner I still stay active and like to run marathons and stay busy. Since I have been using Nitraplex my runs have been easier my energy has been more consistent and no jitters or crashing like taking other energy products Nitraplex is my secret weapon.

-Roger Craig

The answer can be complicated as food is the fuel for our bodies. We want the food we eat to support our goals, not work against them. The trick is to make sure we are not putting too much fuel or not enough fuel in the tank. Finding a happy medium is crucial, because no one wants to feel sick while they are working out. What you eat usually depends upon the type of fitness activity you are performing. For the sake of argument and to save you from reading a nutritional and biochemical text book, let’s keep it simple. The most common form of fitness activity is a cardio session. Usually, it is an aerobics class, nature run, bicycling, or a jog on the treadmill. Now, the most common reasons for these cardiovascular activities are to lose fat, maintain a toned physique, or simply to stay in shape.

Ideally, you want to have some nutrients in the blood when you are physically active. This means, you should either eat or drink something relatively light thirty minutes to an hour before your activity. The time between the meal and your workout allows for digestion, so you are not running around with food in your stomach.

You want the light meal or drink to be high in protein, low in carbohydrates, and very low in fat. A male should consume anywhere between 20g and 40g of protein, 1g to 20g of carbohydrates, and 0g to 1g of fat before an aerobic activity. A female should consume 15g to 30g of protein, 1g to 15g of carbohydrates, and 0g to 1g of fat. These macronutrient ratios will trigger the body to use stored body fat for energy and spare muscle tissue breakdown. Which means you will lose body fat and maintain muscle definition. Whey protein shakes such as Nitraplex’s Lean Protein will provide the proper amount of nutrients for a pre-workout meal. Foods such as egg whites, white chicken breast, white turkey breast, and tilapia will provide great sources of lean easily digestible proteins accompanied by a single piece of whole wheat toast or a banana or a few ounces of steamed/microwaved vegetables is a great combination for a pre-aerobic meal. Just be sure to eat another healthy meal as soon as your workout is complete.

With the discovery of the adult stem cell found in the bone marrow of adults by Catherine Verfaillie at the University of Minnesota in 2002, it became obvious that stem cells carried an enormous potential to accelerate and enhance the building of new muscle and other tissues in the human body, increase immune system response, and relieve joint and muscle aches.

Stemulite has the answer and is the second natural stem cell enhancing product on the market. It is a stronger formulation than Endothil, the first product to reach the market, which was created by the same formulators as Stemulite. Stemulite Fitness Formula is much different and now has seven key all-natural ingredients of very effective and targeted natural proteins, enzymes and amino acids.

Stemulite goes to work when we are working out and pushing our bodies

When working out or during athletic regimens, our muscles and ligaments suffer tiny micro tears, creating the soreness from exercise. Stemulite quickly goes to work recruiting the sleeping adult stem cells in our bodies and starts building new muscle and aiding in recovery. Keep in mind this is new muscle, not the temporary enlarged effect that anabolic steroids create.

“In just one year I have seen a significant increase in strength, recovery and my ability to perform better as an athlete,” says professional football player Gary Brackett. “Of course this has been my experience; however I am not alone in these types of results. I have recommended Stemulite to several of my team players and they too are achieving similar results while consistently using this product.”

Stemulite and NitraPlex joining forces for maximum results

“NitraPlex is quite different than Stemulite,” says Omar Deckard, a professional bodybuilder for 25 years. “NitraPlex is the cleanest energy and nitric oxide booster I have ever used. Believe me, I have tried several, there is no heart racing, no jitters and no crash that is usually associated with these types of energy products.”

Deckard says, “He started his NitraPlex and Stemulite stacked regimen last year and is thrilled by the energy boost.”

“I could not believe the energy I had in the gym,” he says. “My workouts became so strong it was easy for me to lift heavier and work out longer and my recovery time was minimal. For several years, I have been at the same weight and I could not believe how I was growing. Stacking Stemulite and NitraPlex has been a big-big help.”

Stemulite Fitness Formula with NitraPlex is the most powerful stacking combination discovered. Using the two together promotes:

* Increased strength, energy and stronger workouts *
* Increased recovery speed and increased deep sleep
* Increased endurance, muscle repair and growth

These drinks are quite expensive, with people drinking up to 3 bottles a day at more than $2.50 a bottle. That is almost $8 per day and close to $250 a month in addition to the price you may be paying physically, short term and long.

In a recent interview from TrueHealthyProducts.tv with Dr. Stewart Gregory  and Jan Hrkach, CEO of True Healthy Products, Gregory talks about energy products and how our bodies use and/or reject what we feed them.

“You can force the body to react or help the body to act,” he says. “Most energy products I have seen are forcing the body to do something that it is physically not able to do. So, if you are tired and you are taking energy drinks to get untired, you are forcing the body to do something it is not able to do.”

The long-term effects are difficult to determine but there will be side effects. A product like Nitraplex is natural and enables the body to run through its normal biological process; you are enabling the body or assisting the body to function. This is why you feel more focused, have heightened energy, and have no jitters or crash.

Nitraplex Pure Energy has caught the attention of several athletes who want better performance and all-natural solutions to finding more energy and having general wellness. Omar Deckard, a pro bodybuilder says, “I have never endorsed a product or product line before, but I am 100 percent behind Nitraplex. Not only is their energy product fantastic, their whole line of nutritionals is by far the best available. They have set new standards for natural supplements. Nitraplex is all I need and all I take.”

Roger Craig, professional football player and Natalie Waples, a fitness model/figure champion also exclusively use all the Nitraplex products.

“Since I have been using Nitraplex Pure Energy, my runs have been easier, my energy has been more consistent and I have no jitters or crashing like taking other energy products. The Daily Optimizer supplement has been a lifesaver as well – my sleep is better and I have considerably less aches and pains,” Craig says.

Says Waples: “Nitraplex Pure Energy is very simple to use – it is a simple capsule that provides me with great energy when I need it and no side effects like others I have tried. In fact I use all the products: their whole food multivitamin, Daily Optimizer and natural protein shakes. They are natural and my body works well with them.”

Minerals play an important role in regulating thyroid function

Dear Pharmacist,

I am constantly fatigued, my hair is thinning, and I am gaining weight. My doctor says that I have hypothyroidism and prescribed Synthroid. Can you give me more information about thyroid medications and natural ways to help myself?

–G.A. Albany, New York

Answer: Approximately 12 million Americans have hypothyroidism. You are lucky if your major symptoms are fatigue, hair loss and weight gain, because there are about 40 possible other symptoms related to low thyroid, including allergies, goiter, depression, swollen eyelids, brittle nails, infertility, irritability, constipation, menstrual irregularities, psoriasis, eczema, constant infections, yeast overgrowth, fibromyalgia, heart palpitations, high cholesterol, memory impairment, cold intolerance, and diabetes. That last one is a shocker to most people but it’s true –low thyroid often precipitates diabetes and all of it’s potentially devastating complications.

Doctors often prescribe Synthroid (sold generically as levothyroxine). It provides your body with a precursor to thyroid hormone called T4. Your body converts T4 into T3 which is really what you want because T3 does all the work for you. T3 is active thyroid hormone. All thyroid medications should be taken on an empty stomach, first thing in the morning unless otherwise directed. It is usually taken orally or sometimes sublingually.

Your doctor could also prescribe “Armour Thyroid” for you, which may work better because it provides both T4 and T3 in one pill. Even better, progressive doctors can call the local compounding pharmacy to have them prepare a special formula of natural thyroid hormone for you. Dosage is individual, and based on your blood work, symptoms, and basal body temperature (your body’s lowest temperature during sleep). Next, try these few suggestions:

Switch your regular table salt which only contains “sodium chloride” to sea salt which contains a full range of minerals. Your thyroid gland loves minerals and makes thyroid hormone more efficiently in the presence of natural minerals.

Go gluten-free. Researchers have found a significant link between wheat allergies (Celiac disease) and people with thyroid disease (especially Hashimoto’s or Graves’ disease). Antibodies may come down within months of going gluten-free.

Limit intake of certain supplements. For example, alpha lipoic acid could interfere with the amount of active T3 your body makes. Keep dosages low (or avoid) in thyroid disease.

Limit intake of certain foods. For instance, processed soy foods (tofu, tempeh, soy milk) and cruciferous vegetables (like broccoli, cauliflower) work against your thyroid.

In addition, depending on what your doctor says, supplement with the following:

Multi-minerals- People with reduced levels of zinc, iodine, selenium, copper and magnesium have difficulty making active T3 thyroid hormone.

Spirulina supplements- a natural dietary supplement that is rich in trace minerals (and precious iodine) helps drive the production of thyroid hormone.

Ashwagandha- an Ayurvedic herb that appears to nourish the thyroid gland, make thyroid hormone and provide antioxidant protection.

The All Natural Way To Regulate Thyroid Is Through Minerals

Indium, an all natural mineral which is a key ingredient in Stemulite Fitness Formula, is effective in regulating thyroid function for optimum health. To learn more click here>>

Thomas Jefferson, who happened to be an experimental botanist, introduced eggplant to the United States in 1806.

It’s called eggplant in America, aubergine in Europe, and brinjal in South Africa.

The eggplant has a had a bad rap in the past as being poisonous and detrimental to health. It was believed by superstitious Europeans to induce insanity, and the fact it belongs to the Deadly Nightshade family of plants has done nothing to enhance its dubious reputation.

China is the world’s leading producer, followed by Japan, Turkey, and Italy. The leading U.S. producer is Florida.

Health Benefits of Eggplant

Eggplant should be avoided by individuals suffering from gout.

Eggplant extract is derived from eggplant, which can assist the body in the above mentioned health benefits. To learn more about eggplant extract in Stemulite and how it works click here>>

Protein Power Mix

(THP) As interest in health and nutrition grows, more and more people are trying protein shakes as a way to lose weight or enhance their sports performance. What do protein shakes consist of, and what are their true benefits? Here’s some information to guide you.

What are protein shakes?

Protein is one of the body’s main building blocks for muscle, bone, skin, and other tissues. Used often by athletes, protein shakes come in many combinations of protein, carbohydrates, and fats. They can range from 100% protein to mostly carbohydrates with a little added protein and fat. Protein shakes come in a variety of flavours in powder form or in ready-to-drink packages, such as cans or foil packs.

What are the benefits of protein shakes?

Safe for people who are healthy and fit, protein shakes are used mainly by athletes who need nourishment right after their workouts, says Jose Antonio, chief executive officer and co-founder of the International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN). ‘Most people can’t make a meal immediately post-workout’, he says. ‘So these ready-to-drink shakes are really your best alternative’.

According to the ISSN, protein shakes are a safe way to ensure enough protein, when used as part of a balanced, nutrient-rich diet. This counters the view that protein shakes can be harmful to kidneys or bones.

• Although research hasn’t proven their role in sports performance and muscle strength, protein shakes may offer certain benefits.
• An endurance athlete may find it easier to train with the help of protein shakes, says Antonio. That’s because they help the body recover from intense exercise. Protein shakes do this mainly by restoring muscle glycogen, a fuel source for exercise, which gets used up during workouts.
• For the strength athlete, protein shakes can also help repair damage to muscles that can occur with serious bodybuilding.
• The general fitness enthusiast who works out hard but doesn’t want to be a marathon runner or bodybuilder may also benefit, says Antonio. This is the kind of person who might run twice a week and lift weights twice a week.

Some research shows other benefits as well. For example, a study of 130 U.S. Marines looked at intense exercisers who supplemented their diet with 10 g of protein, 8 g of carbohydrates, and 3 g of fat. They had fewer infections, less heat exhaustion, and less muscle soreness. Some protein shakes may help with weight management, as well. But more research is needed to confirm this.

How much protein do you need?

Almost all people can get the protein they need from whole foods and drinks in their diet. The recommended daily intake of protein for healthy adults is 0.75 g of protein per kilogram of body weight, or about 45 to 56 g of protein a day.

How much protein do you need? continued…

In most cases, only those who are active and restrict calories or are strict vegetarians are at risk for low protein.

People who exercise regularly do need more energy. They may also need a little more protein than people who are less active. Adding protein doesn’t add muscle mass, though, as many people believe.

The ISSN recommends that exercisers get 1.4 to 2 g of protein per kilogram of body weight daily. Endurance athletes should be at the lower end of this range and strength athletes at the higher end. How much you need depends on the type and intensity of your exercise, the quality of the protein you eat, and your energy level and carbohydrate intake.

This is what the ISSN recommends:

• For endurance athletes: 1 to 1.6 g of protein per kilogram of body weight daily, depending on intensity and duration of exercise and the training status of the athlete
• For strength or power athletes: 1.6 to 2 g of protein per kilogram of body weight daily

What is the protein content of protein shakes?

Everyone, including athletes, can meet their protein needs without supplements or shakes. When choosing protein shakes, read the label to select the one with the composition that meets your needs.

Protein shakes vary in protein content. ‘If you’re a body builder, you’re going to shift to the drinks that have a bit more protein’. like Worldwide Sport Nutrition says Antonio. Endurance athletes are likely to favour drinks with more carbohydrates, he says, but the most important thing is simply to drink something after your workout.

If your goal is to lose body fat, change to a protein shake that’s mainly protein, has fewer carbohydrates, and only a little bit of fat, such as Slim-Fast. ‘Make sure the product is more than 50% protein if your goal is body fat loss’, Antonio says.

For those in the middle range — someone who works out regularly but isn’t at the competitive level — a popular protein shake is Muscle Milk. It fits somewhere between high-protein and high-carbohydrate shakes, says Antonio. Muscle Milk contains milk protein, combined with carbs and fats. It contains more fat than the average protein shake, he says, but it’s a type that does not increase cardiovascular risk.

What are the different types of protein in protein shakes?

Protein shakes contain many different types of protein in varying amounts. They may include:

• Milk
• Whey
• Casein
• Egg
• Soy

The source of the protein and how it’s purified during manufacturing may affect how well your body can digest and absorb its amino acids, the building blocks of protein. Although it’s best to obtain protein through your diet, supplementing it with a combination of whey and casein is a good choice.

What are the different types of protein in protein shakes? continued…

Whey protein is:

• A protein found in milk
• Fast-absorbing
• In your body for a shorter time
• A good supplement after intense workouts

Casein protein is:

• The main protein in milk
• Slow-absorbing
• In your body for a longer time
• A good supplement for meal replacements or to take before bed

Soy protein is as effective as most animal sources of protein, although many male athletes think of it as a ‘girl’s protein’, Antonio says. ‘But this is where public perception and scientific reality clash’. Research doesn’t support the fears that soy protein lowers blood levels of testosterone or reduces lean body mass.

Some women may take soy protein shakes in the hopes of curbing menopausal symptoms. But research results have been mixed.

Soy protein is:

• A plant-based source of protein
• As digestible as other sources of protein
• Known for its antioxidant capabilities
• A good supplement for meal replacements

Though there are several uses of beta glucan, the most common use is that of ingestion in the modern nutritional science with the basic intention of developing the response of the immune system.

The most common form of beta glucan that is found in the present day is that which is derived from the yeast cell wall. They are referred to as the Beta-D-glucans, and are found to be constructed by nature to possess chains of both straight and branched forms. The branched chains are sometimes called active side chains, and this has come to be considered as the most important portion of the beta glucan molecule. The straight chain structural component is comprised of Beta 1,3 and 1,6 D linked glucans while on the other hand the side chain structures are comprised of Beta 1,3 with varying degrees of 1,6 beta branches.

Beta-glucan is used primarily for the enhancement of the immune system and also to reduce the cholesterol levels at the same time. In this respect there have been a great number of researches, that have been carried out via animal and human cell culture studies. These researches have confirmed that beta glucan do have the competence to play a major role in stimulating manifold aspects of immune system activity.

Other than this, the other researches do indicate that beta-glucan happens to be very effectual in activating white blood cells known as macrophages and neutrophils. Both of these macrophages and neutrophils are witnessed to provide the first lines of defense of the immune system against the intrusion of foreign material in the body.

Beta Glucan – A prime ingredient in Stemulite Fitness Formula – boosts the immunity within the body. To learn more click here>>

Cellular respiration is the process in which we break down glucose into water and carbon dioxide, releasing energy. This occurs deep in our cells in the mitochondria, the “generator” for cellular energy. Along the way, packets of energy called “electrons” are passed along a complex chain of chemical steps, eventually producing an energy storehouse known at adenosine-triphosphate (ATP).

As these electrons are passed along, some chemicals give up electrons, which is oxidation, and some accept electrons, which is reduction. This constant reduction-oxidation (redox) process is “cellular respiration.” The energy stored as ATP is later used to power the bodily functions.

The problem begins when some of these electrons escape the normal chain of events and react with ambient oxygen, creating toxic oxygen free radicals. These are very unstable and aggressively react with other molecules in the cell. Like sparks flying out of a fire, the free radicals damage whatever is in the immediate area. Sometimes this is the cell wall, or critical enzymes and proteins in the cell, or even the cellular DNA.

There are also free radicals that come from outside our body, such as hydrocarbons, pesticides, smog, cigarette smoke and metals like lead and mercury.

Anti-oxidants donate an electron to neutralize and “snuff out” free radicals. The anti-oxidant sacrifices itself as it then becomes oxidized and must be replenished. We have a tremendous built in system of anti-oxidants and get many more through or diet. Our “built-in” anti-oxidant systems fade with normal aging and our diets do not provide the amounts of anti-oxidants necessary to prevent oxidative damage.

Once the process of oxidation begins to overwhelm our ability to stop it, the damage begins, and along with it the process of degenerative diseases and aging.

Anti-oxidants like super-oxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione and n-acetyl cysteine (NAC) are made within our bodies, while others must be obtained through diet, such as Vitamins A, C, E and the many bioflavonoids from fruit and vegetable sources. Minerals like selenium, manganese, copper and zinc are not anti-oxidants but are a vital part of the systems.

It is critical to appreciate that anti-oxidants work in different parts of the body. For example, CoEnzyme Q works deep in the mitochondria helping with the electron transfers. Vitamin E and pomegranate are two that love fats and work well in fat areas like cell membranes and cholesterol plaque. Vitamin C and glutathione love water and work in the fluid portions of the cell.

Anti-oxidants also work in different ways. CoQ is an anti-oxidant, but it also regenerates Vitamin E. Alpha-lipoic acid regenerates Vitamin C which then regenerates Vitamin E. Vitamin C and E along with selenium help Vitamin A to function properly.

All this interaction between anti-oxidants underscores a very important concept in supplementation – they work together. Getting a broad spectrum of nutrients, like that found in nature, is an essential part of supplementation.

Many studies on anti-oxidants are short-sighted and limited to studying only one anti-oxidant without even considering its overall role in nature. For example, giving only one of the eight forms of Vitamin E, which we know will deplete one of the other forms, leads to negative effects that may well outweigh any positive benefit from supplementing the singular form.

Another example is a recent study showing Vitamin A supplementation increases lung cancer risk in smokers – without considering the possible effects of exhausting the supply of other co-factors with Vitamin A like Vitamins C, E and selenium. If the same study had supplemented these known co-factors the outcome may have proven much different.

Nutrition is our first medicine but nutrition alone is not adequate for most of us, requiring the logical use of supplements. We now have reviewed the normal process of oxidation in the body, which clearly plays a primary role in the process of aging and development of degenerative diseases. Understanding that oxidation is a far more complex process than any one anti-oxidant can handle leads us to appreciate why taking a broad-spectrum of anti-oxidants is absolutely critical.

The “evil-twin” of oxidation is inflammation and in my next column I’ll explore its damaging effects and how we can successfully combat inflammation.

The most important thing to keep in mind when trying to gain weight is that you have got to eat healthy, no short cuts. There are hundreds of protein shakes and other weight gaining supplements that can help, but they really shouldn’t be the sole supplement to help you gain weight. A diet high in natural proteins, calcium, vitamin D, and fish oil can make all the difference. Protein shakes and other supplements will make great supplements, but not meal replacements. My best solution for gaining weight was a diet low in saturated fats and high in monosaturated fats. So cook with extra virgin olive oil, canola oil, and almond oil to add in more healthy calories for your meals.

Understand that to reach your goal weight, you must be eating enough calories per day that is for your specific frame. Estimate, not obsess, over the calories you need according to the Body Mass Index system.

GAIN WEIGHT FOODIES

Proteins & Omega 3: Aim to eat 4-6 meals per day, each having the required protein serving. Protein shakes are okay, especially for the athlete that needs to replenish after a heavy workout, but aim to eat snacks that are high in natural proteins. This includes nuts, milk & eggs, pork, fish, and chicken. Try to reduce fried foods and eat lean meats cooked in olive oil or canola. Dress up your foods and naturally add in more calories by adding olive oil to your seeds and nuts as well. Keep in mind that foods high in protein like  nuts are also a good source of omega 3.

Milk: They never lied when they said milk does a body good. The benefits of drinking at least 3 glasses a day can help even the most underweight person gain by leaps and bounds. Goat’s milk best to consume because the health benefits are exceptional.

Fresh Fruits: Fruits can be light foods but can help you gain weight faster if you use them in smoothies. Add in your favorite fruit and blend up smoothies with all egg whites (bought from store), and a tablespoon of fiber (wheat germ), and a tablespoon of flaxseed or fish oil to get the omega 3 benefits.

- By Cameron E. Holmes

These findings fall into the category of common sense, along the lines of “use it or lose it.” As you age, physical exercise becomes an ever more important aspect of optimal health and longevity.

How to Prevent and Reverse Muscle Wasting

This study explains the biological processes that cause muscle wasting as you move into your senior years.

As you likely know, protein is essential for proper muscle growth and maintenance, but this study found that as you age, your body becomes increasingly less able to use the protein in your food for building muscle.

In addition, they found that, in seniors, insulin no longer prevented the muscle breakdown between meals and overnight as it normally does in younger subjects.

This double-whammy adds up to significant muscle wasting in sedentary seniors. And poor blood supply, which prevents proper delivery of nutrients and hormones to your muscles, may be an important factor.

Exercise is the natural remedy for poor blood circulation, and the team confirmed that three weight training sessions per week over 20 weeks rejuvenated blood flow in the extremities to the point that they were identical to those in the younger group!

How’s that for results!!

Beware of Drugs That Can Cause Irreversible Damage to Your Muscles

Before going any further, I also want to remind you of one very common cause of excessive muscle wasting, aside from a sedentary lifestyle, namely: statin drugs.

Statins are a class of drugs used to lower your cholesterol, and are among the most commonly prescribed medications in the world.

They have many dangerous side effects, one of which is a serious degenerative muscle tissue condition called rhabdomyolysis, which can be fatal (as your heart is a muscle, and can be affected by these drugs).

Statins such as Lipitor, Zocor, Pavacol and Mevacor lower your cholesterol by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, a key enzyme in cholesterol synthesis. But they can also activate the atrogin-1 gene, which plays a key role in muscle atrophy.

One recent study showed that even low concentrations of these drugs led to atrogin-1 induced muscle damage. And the higher the dosage, the greater the damage.

The Importance of Weight Training for Optimal Health

Unfortunately, many ignore weight training when devising their exercise plan, thinking they don’t want to “bulk up.”

But gaining more muscle through resistance exercises is an integral part of any well-rounded fitness program, especially if you want to lose weight.

However, weight training is not about vanity.

The intensity of your resistance training can achieve a number of beneficial changes on the molecular, enzymatic, hormonal, and chemical level in your body, which will help slow down (and many cases stop) many of the diseases caused by a sedentary lifestyle.

Therefore it’s also an essential element if you want to prevent common diseases such as diabetes and heart disease, or weakening of your bones (osteoporosis), limited range of motion, aches and pains, and yes, prevent excessive muscle wasting as you age.

I recently published an article on exercise for weight loss, so let’s take a look at some of the other benefits of exercise as it relates to maintaining optimal health well into your senior years.

How Weight Lifting Can Reduce Your Risk of Diabetes and Heart Disease

Your body has two types of fat: visceral and subcutaneous.

• Subcutaneous fat is the fat located just below your skin, and is the type that causes dimpling and cellulite.

• Visceral fat, on the other hand, shows up in your abdomen and surrounds your vital organs including your liver, heart and muscles. It is this visceral fat that has been linked to serious health problems such as heart disease, diabetes and stroke, among many other chronic diseases.

A key strategy to reduce your risk of heart disease (and a host of other chronic diseases) is to keep your inflammation levels low, and avoiding gaining visceral fat is part of this equation.

Exercise is a critical component for reducing heart disease risk because it both lowers inflammation in your body, and is one of the best weapons against visceral fat. For example, in one study volunteers who did not exercise had an 8.6 percent increase in visceral fat after eight months, while those who exercised the most LOST over 8 percent of their visceral fat during the same amount of time.

This occurs because muscle burns more calories, and it consumes calories around the clock, even when you’re resting and sleeping. So, as you gain more muscle, your body naturally increases the amount of calories burned each day, which reduces fat stores.

As for lowering inflammation, physical exercise accomplishes this naturally by lowering levels of a C-reactive protein (CRP) that is linked to inflammation.

High levels of CRP in your body is associated with a higher than average risk of cardiovascular disease, and has even been suggested as a better indicator of possible heart attack than high cholesterol.

How Strength Training Reduces Osteoporosis

Weight-bearing exercise is one of the most effective remedies against osteoporosis.

The last thing you want to consider is to take a drug to improve your bone density, as without question, that is more likely to cause long-term harm than benefit.

Your bones are actually very porous and soft, and as you get older, your bones can easily become less dense and hence, more brittle. Especially if you are inactive.

Resistance training can combat this effect because as you put more tension on your muscles it puts more pressure on your bones, which then respond by continuously creating fresh, new bone.

In addition, as you build more muscle, and make the muscle that you already have stronger, you also put more constant pressure on your bones.

A good weight-bearing exercise to incorporate into your routine (depending on your current level of fitness, of course) is a walking lunge, as it helps build bone density in your hips, even without any additional weights. You can see the video at the top of the page on how to do that.

The video is from our new exercise site which we hope to launch later this year.

Keep Yourself in Motion!

Optimal health is dependent on an active lifestyle; eating fresh, whole foods, avoiding as many processed foods as possible, and addressing the stress in your life.

Ignoring any of these basic tenets of health will eventually lead to a decline in health and any number of diseases. So start moving, and don’t stop no matter what your age.

And do include strength training into your fitness routine. It is the number one way for you to remain strong, young, and independent well into old age.

Fat Reduction

There is no point in doing exercises for flabby arms if you have so much fat in that area that you are not going to be able to see the muscles you build. So you will need to drop you body fat at the same time you are doing exercises for flabby arms. The easiest way to reduce body fat is to burn off more calories than you consume each day. Cut back on high calorie foods and do at least thirty minutes of cardio vascular exercise three times per week if you want to reduce your body fat. With regular exercise and a sensible weight loss diet you should be able to lose two pounds per week. Bear in mind that the more overweight you are the longer it will take you to get rid of your flabby arms.

Numerous Options

When a person has flabby arms their triceps are usually lacking in muscle tone. Therefore all exercises for flabby arms involve toning the triceps. The only equipment you will need to tone your triceps is a set of five pound dumbbells. You can use the dumbbells to do exercises for flabby arms at home. Kickbacks and extensions most often work best. You should do sets of ten at least thee times a week. Another option is to do exercises for flabby arms at your local gym using various machines that are meant to tone the upper body. Also, you can perform pull ups. Swimming or using a rowing machine can also do a lot to tone up flabby arms.

Don’t Expect Overnight Results

If you take the appropriate measures to reduce body fat and do various exercises for flabby arms you will eventually notice results. However, do not expect to have toned looking arms immediately. It may take months of sensible eating, cardiovascular exercises and resistance work on your triceps before you start to notice the results. The flabbier your arms are the longer it is going to take to tone them up. The trick is to never give up or let yourself get discouraged just because you don’t get immediate results. If you keep trying then at some point you will reach your objective.

In fact, no matter how busy you are, with all the health benefits it provides, you can’t afford not to strength train.

• Maintains strength. Everything we do requires bodily strength. From the simplest movements each day such as eating, to more complex tasks such as lifting and pushing, your body needs strength to move. Following a full-body well-rounded resistance training program helps maintain your ability to carry out everyday tasks without difficulty.

• Reduces risk of injuries. Resistance training not only strengthens the muscles, but strengthens connective tissues such as tendons. Tendon injuries in sports and ordinary activities can be very common, but regular strength training will reduce the likelihood of these injuries.

• Prevents osteoporosis. Impact activities such as walking and jogging are excellent at building bone density in the legs and spine. However, common fracture sites also include the wrists, elbow and shoulder where impact activities have no effect.

The answer is to strengthen the entire skeleton through resistance training, because lifting weights stimulates the skeleton to get thicker and stronger, which help counteract brittle bones.

• Helps weight management. Muscle is a metabolically active tissue, so the more muscle your body has, the more calories you burn. Just one extra pound of muscle equates to burning an extra 50 calories a day.

• Prevents sarcopenia. Sarcopenia is the naturally occurring muscle wastage that happens as we age. Unless we get moving, muscle mass is lost at a rate of 3 percent to 5 percent per decade from age 30 on. However, doing a resistance workout two to three times a week can not only prevent sarcopenia, but can actually reverse it, so it’s never too late to start.

• Is essential for power and speed in sports. Muscle power is a key factor at every level of sports performance. If you do not have good muscular strength, then your ability to run, jump, throw or kick will be reduced.

Resistance training enables athletes to specifically target the muscle groups that are relevant for their sport,helping them become faster and more physically able to cope with the demands of their sports on their bodies

• Helps you feel good. As with any form of exercise, finishing a weight training workout brings about a feeling of well-being and accomplishment, which generates a feeling of confidence and gives you a mental boost.

As I said before, no matter how busy you are, you can’t afford not to spend time strength training.

Mitochondrial Function is key for optimal health

Each cell in our body comes equipped with its own energy mini-engine. This engine is called mitochrondria and ALA is essential to mitochrondial function. Mitochondria are cellular organelles that act like tiny engines to convert unusable forms of energy (sugar, protein, fat, amino acids, etc) into a usable chemical form known as adenosine triphosphate (ATP), so that vital cellular chemical reactions throughout the body can occur. They do this by oxidizing (burning) fuels, such as lipids from the diet, and transporting free electrons liberated from these oxidation reactions through a series of proteins called the “electron transport chain.”

Other human studies are also currently under way, but so far there are no published human studies available, although positive studies in animals continue to proliferate. Last year, for example, American researchers demonstrated that alpha lipoic acid (ALA) supplementation in older racehorses reduced the oxidative stress burden even under light training loads, while a number of other animal studies have shown that acetyl L-carnitine (ALC)/ALA supplementation reduces oxidative stress and improves mitochondrial function in a number of tissues, including brain, muscle and heart.

In one of these studies, researchers examined the effects of acetyl L-carnitine (ALC)/alpha lipoic acid (ALA) therapy on aging and hearing in rats, and found that it reduced the normal age-associated deterioration in auditory sensitivity and improved inner ear function. They concluded that these improvements were related to the acetyl L-carnitine (ALC)/ALA combination’s ability to protect and repair age-induced mitochondrial DNA damage, thereby boosting mitochondrial function and improving energy turnover. However, while the initial evidence from animal studies looks extremely promising, the jury is still out as far as humans are concerned.

Your immune system is your body’s defense system against illness and disease.

(THP) WHAT can we do to help our bodies cope better with infectious illnesses?

It definitely helps to have a strong and healthy immune system. Here’s how it works – the immune system is like the security system in your home. This system is continuously monitoring the environment for anything that is out of place, and when an unusual situation is detected, it dispatches the most appropriate defense mechanisms.

The immune system recognizes viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites, and mutant cells, and it has a variety of “soldiers” (immune cells such as macrophages, neutrophils and natural killer cells), each with it own weapons and methods of attack to destroy these invaders.

Harmful free radicals and the human immune system

The harmful free radicals from our environment are a major cause of ill-health. These free radicals can come from exposure to the sun’s rays (UV light), pollution, radiation, stress, and poor diet.

Immune cells also suffer from free radical damage. This results in lowered immunity. The good thing is that we are not completely powerless. Antioxidant supplements can help protect our immune system from the damage of free radical “bombardment”.

Antioxidant army

We have our own army of defense against free radicals and they are called antioxidants. Antioxidants have the ability to render free radicals harmless. As long as there are adequate amounts of antioxidants within our bodies to handle the free radicals produced within the cell, there is little or no damage to surrounding tissues.

The body has the ability to make some of its own antioxidants, five of which are Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), Catalase, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Coenzyme Q10 and Glutathione Peroxidase. However, the body may not be able to produce enough antioxidants on its own to neutralize all of the free radicals that are produced.

Although many antioxidants can be obtained from food sources, it is difficult to get enough to hold back free radicals constantly generated in our polluted environment. That is why we need to get the rest of the antioxidants from supplements.

Alpha lipoic acid

Dr Lester Packer, professor of the University of California, Berkeley, department of molecular and cell biology, is among the world’s leading antioxidant researchers and has described alpha lipoic acid as very close to an ideal antioxidant. Alpha lipoic acid can also recharge other antioxidants that have been used up. In the body, it helps regenerate other antioxidants such as vitamin C, vitamin E and glutathione.

In addition to that, alpha lipoic acid is the only antioxidant that can boost the level of intracellular glutathione, a cellular antioxidant of tremendous importance. Besides being the body’s primary water-soluble antioxidant and a major detoxification agent, glutathione is absolutely essential for the functioning of the immune system.

The active ingredients found in standardized extracts of grape seed are Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins (OPCs). Research indicates that OPCs may be 20 to 50 times more potent as an antioxidant than vitamin C and E.

The body produces many types of free radicals – singlet oxygen, superoxides, hydroxyl, hydrogen peroxide, peroxyl, etc, and almost all are damaging to the immune system and other parts of the body. Different antioxidants neutralize different species of free radicals. Hence when it comes to antioxidant supplementation, it makes sense to take a supplement that contains a variety of antioxidants.

Recover From Sports Injuries And Soreness Quicker With SerraPeptase

(THP) SerraPeptase flushes off congregated waste protein and naturally eases minor pain and inflammation from overexertion or everyday activities by breaking down extraneous fibrin, mucus and other inflammatory compounds the congregate when the body’s natural repair functions are working. It supports the body’s natural process for both drainage and repairs and therefore thought to be extremely helpful in supporting cardiovascular health.

How SerraPeptase Can Assist Athletes In Extreme Sports Recovery When Taking Stemulite Fitness Formula

SerraPeptase which is found in our supplement can be taken as a preventative before an athletic event to allow the body to immediately begin repair from inflammation caused by extreme workouts or physical traumas. It enters inflamed areas that have been isolated from the body’s circulation, caused by sprain, swelling, or bruises allowing for recovery time to be greatly accelerated. Therefore it is very useful for athletes who incur any type of muscle damage.

Enhances Glucose Utilization

Enhances Amino Acid Transport

Lowers Blood Sugar

Increases Creatine Uptake

ALA increases your muscles glycogen uptake. This increases muscle cell volume and contributes to that full, pumped feeling when you workout.

This is a very desirable effect as the increase in muscle glycogen also increases other important nutrient transports that contributes to cell volume and muscle growth.

ALA is not a thermogenic but it does appear to contribute to favorable body composition changes. This is believed to be due to a nutrient partitioning effect where nutrients are channeled more to lean tissue and away from fat tissue.

ALA will help enhance the efficiency of many different supplements and pharmaceuticals. It enhances the absorption of creatine into the muscle cell by providing a transport vehicle through its unique ability to mimic insulin.

ALA is also one of the most potent antioxidants available. And, when taken with other antioxidants it actually enhances their antioxidant abilities.

Protein Power Mix

Protein Power Mix utilizes two different types of proteins for the daytime and the nighttime formula.

The daytime formula is designed to be taken either first thing in the morning before breakfast, an addition to breakfast, as a meal replacement for breakfast, or a post workout supplement.

(THP) The science behind these reasons lies with the daytime’s type of base protein, whey protein. Whey protein is produced when cheese is made from milk. As milk is being processed into cheese there is watery after product that is separated, this after product is the all natural whey protein.

It is important to understand the biochemistry of whey protein and to understand why it is in the Protein Power Mix’s daytime formula. Most commonly, whey protein is a mixture of beta-lactoglubolin, alpha-lactalbumin, and serum albumin, which constitutes a large amount of amino acids. This substance breakdown allows us to see that whey protein has the highest biological value (BV) of all proteins. In terms of Biochemistry, whey protein is easily digestible (when other additives are natural and easily digestible themselves), easily broken down, and absorbed quickly into the blood stream. It is these specific characteristics of whey protein that make it suitable for a morning protein and post workout supplement.

Protein Power Mix uses the isolate form of whey protein because it has the least amount of fat content, thus, resulting in fat loss when Protein Power Mix is combined with a balanced meal plan and workout regimen. Protein Power Mix is not only backed by scientific research, but by solid nutrition study as well. Anyone can use Protein Power Mix for any healthy goal. Another way one can take advantage of Protein Power Mix’s whey protein base, is to drink it as a post workout shake. We have learned that the whey protein isolate is easily and quickly digestible, which is the main reason why an individual would consume it immediately after a workout.

When we workout we use up energy. We use that energy to tear our muscles down, so we can build them back up. The best way to begin that recovery process is to get recuperative nutrients into the blood as fast as possible. Muscles are made up of proteins and use proteins to build and repair themselves.

Whey protein isolates contain no fat and can get to your muscles fast to begin the repair process. Along with the other all natural nutrients in Protein Power Mix, you will experience immediate energy recuperation and muscle rejuvenation when you drink your shake after you workout.

As you can see using Protein Power Mix is easy. It will stop your muscles from breaking down in the morning and after you workout.

Most individuals do not realize that the body does not completely shut down at night while you are sleeping. The body’s biological processes simply slow down while the body continues to burn calories as we sleep (just at a slower rate). As we sleep we are essentially fasting (not eating) for six, seven, or eight hours. Hence, it is crucial, whether we are trying to gain weight or lose fat, to give our bodies quick, easily digestible, healthy nutrients first thing in the morning. Otherwise, our bodies will become catabolic and reach into our muscles for energy. Our bodies will excrete amino acids and convert them to energy rather than burning stored fat for energy.

If we fill our muscles with protein and other crucial nutrients first thing in the morning, our bodies will no longer deplete our muscles for energy because they are full of protein. Our bodies will reach into an alternate form of stored energy, fat!

Mitochondria are the chief source of endogenous oxidants, including hydrogen peroxide and the superoxide and hydroxyl radicals. This high flux of oxidants would not only be expected to damage the cell overall, but also certainly would damage the mitochondria in which the oxidants are produced.

Despite an impressive array of antioxidant defenses, such as vitamin C, glutathione and vitamin E, the level of oxidative damage to mitochondria is enormous. Experiments have shown that oxidative damage to mitochondrial DNA (the only organelle with its own DNA outside the nucleus) is 8 to 10-fold higher than the levels found in nuclear DNA and accumulates even higher levels of damage with age.

Chronic steroid use in exercise training and body building often leads to prediabetic conditions or prediabetes. One hallmark of the insulin-resistant state of prediabetes and overt type 2 diabetes is an impaired ability of insulin to activate glucose transport in skeletal muscle, due to defects in insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1)-dependent signaling. An emerging body of evidence indicates that one potential factor in the etiology of skeletal muscle insulin resistance is oxidative stress, an imbalance between the cellular exposure to an oxidant stress and the cellular antioxidant defenses. Therefore, anyone who has any kind of a chronic high glucose should daily take ALA. Exposure of skeletal muscle to an oxidant stress leads to a vicious cycle of impaired insulin signaling and subsequently to reduced glucose transport activity. Numerous studies have demonstrated that treatment of insulin-resistant animals and type 2 diabetic humans with antioxidants, including alpha-lipoic acid (ALA), are associated with improvements in skeletal muscle glucose transport activity and whole-body glucose tolerance.

Beautiful melatonin skin skin is created by a body that is functioning properly – that is eliminating waste efficiently, digesting food and transporting nutrients around the body. It is not something exclusively reserved for the genetically blessed.

By ensuring that our skin is in the best possible condition, we can not only improve our overall health – after all, what’s good for our skin is good for our body as a whole – but also our confidence and happiness.

Whether you are suffering from a condition such as acne or psoriasis, or you just want beautiful skin, I have devised a natural dietary and lifestyle approach that will help you get the healthy skin you’ve always wanted.

Neutralizers: Avocados, limes and raw tomatoes have alkalizing properties that help to create beautiful skin.

The skin is the largest organ of the body. It protects us from invading bacteria, helps regulate body temperature and keeps our insides from falling out. It is made up of three layers – the outside layer, the epidermis; the middle layer, the dermis; and below that, the subcutaneous layer.

New skin cells form at the bottom of the epidermis and move gradually outwards, and the top layer of dead cells then sheds. This trip takes about four weeks, which means that with the right materials you can create better skin in a month.

The Healthy Skin Diet is based on an anti-inflammatory eating program originally designed for those with skin conditions such as eczema.

It is also effective in eliminating psoriasis and dandruff, as well as improving mood swings, energy levels and rosacea. However, you don’t have to have bad skin to follow this routine as it is fantastic for overall health and well-being.

To get you started, here are seven basic guidelines . . .

THINK GREEN AND FRIENDLY

An essential step for beautiful skin involves ‘friendly’ gut flora, ‘green’ foods and drinks that have an alkalizing effect on the body, and avoiding acid-forming foods.

Some parts of your body should be acidic, such as your stomach when it produces digestive acids. However, in general, your body’s tissues and blood should be slightly alkaline.

There are two ways you can find out how acidic you are. Your GP can test your blood pH, or you can test your saliva or urine with pH strips from your local pharmacy.

These are made of litmus paper which changes color when acidic or alkaline substances come into contact with it. When your body’s pH is in balance, this reading should be between 7.0 and 7.5.

‘Green’ foods such as asparagus have an alkalizing effect on the body.

There are many types of acid-producing foods and when your body is continually trying to counteract an acidic state, acid can become a poison. The worst offenders are vinegar (except for apple cider vinegar), alcoholic drinks, margarine, pork and beef, salmon and mackerel.

Also acid-forming are coffee and black tea, yellow cheeses, pickles and mustard, chickpeas, most nuts, white rice and high-sugar and white-flour products.

However, you do not have to avoid these foods completely to be healthy. They can be enjoyed in moderation, but limit them to no more than three servings a day. The equivalent of two servings is two glasses of alcohol, or one coffee, and salmon and chickpeas for dinner.

Green drinks – those containing chlorophyll and wheat-grass – are the best way to create good acidalkaline balance. A liquid chlorophyll supplement, available from chemists, can give you an extra dose of vegetables daily. It can help to neutralize acids in the body so your blood is less likely to become sluggish and inefficient.

Alkalizing foods include spinach, peppers, courgette, broccoli, carrots, cucumber, cabbage and sweet potatoes – and surprisingly lemons and limes (although the fruit is acidic, it is actually alkalizing in the blood). Avocado, asparagus (below), garlic, onions, radishes and uncooked tomatoes are also mildly alkalizing.

Other points to good acid-alkaline balance include limiting your caffeine intake, having four alcohol-free days a week, avoiding smoking, and drinking eight to ten glasses of water a day. Encourage friendly gut flora by taking a pro-biotic supplement.

EAT MOISTURIZING FOODS

Certain fats are moisturizing to your skin – they moisturize you from the inside out. The good fats include GLA (found in Evening Primrose Oil), EPA, DHA and omega-3 (all found in oily fish and flax seed).

Omega-3 is particularly good for your skin. It is abundant in cold-water fish such as sardines, trout and herring and although they are acid-forming, salmon and mackerel are good sources, too. Omega-3 is also found in flax seeds, walnuts and green vegetables.

Omega-6, also found in flax seeds, walnuts and leafy greens as well as eggs and fish, converts eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) which decreases inflammation and improves skin moisture. It also helps normalize blood pressure, helps with cardiovascular health and can reduce your risk of certain cancers.

If you have dry skin, psoriasis, rosacea, dandruff or premature aging take an omega-3 fish oil supplement (or flax seed oil if you are vegetarian) in addition to eating oily fish two or three times a week.

Saturated fats in dairy, meat and fried foods can cause inflammation, dry skin and premature ageing. They can also increase your risk of heart disease, asthma, eczema and acne.

Limit your intake, and increase the amount of foods that help protect from the damaging effects of these fats, including onions, ginger, turmeric, red wine (which contains flavonoids), Vitamin E and selenium.

EAT LESS

Melatonin is a hormone released during sleep. It has an antioxidant effect that helps to protect against DNA damage. As you age, the body’s ability to produce melatonin plummets.

When your body doesn’t produce enough, you will experience difficulty falling asleep and wake up after eight hours still feeling drowsy. However, a study published in the Journal Of Clinical Endocrinology And Metabolism showed how melatonin levels can be manipulated by diet.

Scientists carried out a 12-year study on monkeys and found sensible calorie restriction not only improves melatonin production but reduces body fat, lowers blood glucose levels and delays and greatly reduces age-related problems and the risk of certain cancers.

You don’t need to calorie-count. For meals, fill half your plate with salad or vegetables, the other half with carbohydrates and protein. Eat carbs that release energy slowly, such as grainy breads, brown rice and wholemeal pasta. Avoid ‘hit and run carbs’ that have a high glycemic index, such as white bread, chips, mashed potato and white rice.

Snack less and stick to healthy snacks such as almonds or an apple.

Make sure you include protein in two of your main daily meals. When eating animal protein, have a portion the size and thickness of the palm of your hand. Have a maximum of two servings of red meat a week, including lean lamb, beef and organic liver, and a maximum of two servings of white meat per week, such as skinless chicken. And eat up to three servings of seafood a week.

And don’t starve yourself. Excessive dieting is bad for the skin so be sensible and never skip a meal.

HAVE A GOOD SKIN CARE ROUTINE

You might be surprised to learn that many skin products contain ingredients that scientific studies have deemed ‘harmful to our skin’ or ‘not beneficial’.

Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) penetrates the skin and damages its protective barrier function. Formaldehyde can irritate the skin and trigger allergic reactions such as rashes and heart palpitations. It can also aggravate asthma. Parabens DEA and MEA can cause skin and mouth irritations.

Sunscreen should play a starring role in your quest for younger-looking skin. Apply to the parts of your body that age the fastest – face, neck, decolletage and hands. Look for one that is formulated for children or toddlers as these are likely to be fragrance-free and lower in synthetic chemicals.

If you have dry or flaky skin, or wrinkles and premature aging, exfoliating with a granulated cream or scrub will leave your skin looking and feeling smoother. Don’t exfoliate your skin if you have acne or broken skin such as wounds, bites or rashes.

BE A SLEEPING BEAUTY

During sleep your body releases a series of hormones that control significant functions in your body. One of the most vital is melatonin.

Light suppresses the release of melatonin and darkness stimulates it, so a night in a darkened room increases your chances of optimal melatonin production.

It’s not just about night-time sleep – you have to start your day right. Get a dose of sunshine in the morning. Choose a wake-up time and stick to it (even after a late night out) and make sure you get ten minutes of sunlight before 10am. This will help you reset your body clock and boost your Vitamin D levels so you are more likely to wake up feeling refreshed.

Foods that promote a more restful night’s sleep are those which contain tryptophan, an amino acid that the body uses to make serotonin and melatonin, sleep-inducing hormones.

Tryptophan-rich foods include milk, cottage cheese and plain yogurt. However, since the Healthy Skin Diet is dairy-free, eat other tryptophan-rich foods such as seafood, turkey, wholegrains, brown rice, beans, houmous, lentils, eggs, hazelnuts and sunflower seeds.

Melatonin, a key ingredient in Semulite Fitness Formula, is an excellent way to catch your zzzzz’s, and wake up feeling refreshed. To learn more click here>>

BECOME A HAT PERSON

Sunlight is essential to health. You need to have small exposure on a regular basis so your skin can produce a form of Vitamin D.

Minimum UV exposure is the key – about ten minutes a day of unfiltered sunshine directly on the skin will keep Vitamin D deficiency away.

But too much sun can be damaging. UVB rays are more likely to cause some forms of skin cancer and UVA rays penetrate deep into the skin and promote free radicals that age your skin prematurely.

UV radiation is increased by reflective surfaces such as sand, water and snow.

UV rays can also penetrate through windows, windshields and thin clothing. When out in the sun, wear protective clothing and a hat.

This two-pronged ‘punch’ to aging cells seemed to work, with the two supplements together producing better results than either one alone. After a month on the supplements, elderly (24-month-old) and lethargic rats had more energy and did better on memory tests, while their mitochondria worked better. The decline in overall activity typical of aged rats was reversed to the level of young-to-middle-aged adult rats, aged 7-10 months. The researchers likened this result to a group of 80-year-old humans throwing away their walking sticks and starting to act 35 years younger!

Beta Glucan, Alpha Lipoic Acid & L-Carnitine Combination In Stemulite May Help Athletes Reduce Recovery Time

The immune-stem-cell health potential in fitness and bodybuilding is enormous. In the United States, over 200,000 cases of tendon tears are treated by physicians annually. Millions of fitness buffs are constantly slowed or hindered by sprains and muscle pulls which interrupt the training regimes. Within professional sports, injured athletes can incur staggering financial loss. Stem cell recruitment and anti-inflammatory action by a beta-glucan/lipoic acid/acetyl carnitine combination may be able to drastically reduce both the injuries and the recovery time of such injuries.

(THP) In my last article, I touched upon the pitfalls of what can keep our bodies from changing. People go to the gym, workout, do some cardio 5 days a week, and still don’t see the result in their physique. One of the most challenging obstacles to overcome is how we view food. Unless you compete in figure, fitness or bodybuilding competitions, your diet does not have to be strict all the time. One of the biggest mistakes is trying to follow a diet that is so strict that they lose the vision of having fun. The end result is misery. The rate at which you desire change – should be the guideline of how strict your diet is.

Before I go any further, let’s talk about the word diet. Webster’s Dictionary defines it as:

1 a : food and drink regularly provided or consumed b : habitual nourishment c : the kind and amount of food prescribed for a person or animal for a special reason d : a regimen of eating and drinking sparingly so as to reduce one’s weight
2 : something provided or experienced repeatedly <a diet of Broadway shows and nightclubs — Frederick Wyatt>

When you mention the word diet to most people – the first thing that comes to their mind is restricting the amount of food you are eating. My wife is a national level figure competitor, before she started competing, if she wanted to lose weight she would skip breakfast, eat a salad for lunch, and have a small plate of food for dinner, and her body  sent out the signal that it was starving. Most all the food she was eating was being stored as fat. Once she decided to start competing and started eating every 2-3 hours, her physique changed all for the better.

Now the big question “What, when and how often do you need to eat.”

As a rule you need to eat every 3 hours. Your main staples need to come from egg whites, oatmeal, fruits, green vegetables, chicken, lean red meat, nuts and at least 64 oz. of water per day. As I mentioned before, my wife is a national level figure competitor, and I compete in bodybuilding. All of our food is measured and/or weighed year round. Off season, we have 1 cheat meal per week, this keeps our food desires in check. When we start our contest diet, cheat meals end. I may get a re-feed (increase in carbs, up to 100 grams per meal for 1 day) but we don’t consider that a cheat meal.

Here is a sample of my current diet:

5:30am 8 egg whites

60 grams oatmeal

3 fish oil tablets

8:00am 6 oz chicken breast

1 cup brown rice

1 oz almonds

10:30am 6 oz Top sirloin

1 serving fruit

1:00pm 6 oz chicken breast

1 cup brown rice

1 Lg salad w/ balsamic vinegar

3:30pm 2 scoops protein powder

1 Tbs peanut butter

5:30pm 2 scoops protein powder

½ bagel w/ 1 Tbs jelly

7:00pm 6oz Top sirloin

3 fish oil tablets

9:00pm 1 scoop protein powder

We make small changes throughout the year depending on how my body is responding. As far as supplements, I take BCAA’s between each meal. I also take 9 A Day Plus (one pack in the morning and one at night) Protein Power Mix, and Stemulite (one daytime in the morning and one nighttime before I go to bed) all from True Healthy Products. Does it take more than this to reach my goals? Absolutely, this is just the tip of the iceberg. But it’s a start for someone looking to change the way they look.

Do you need to eat like this? That depends entirely on your personal goals. Perhaps, you only want to look better. Start by making better food choices. Continue to lift weights and do your cardio, and a better physique is just around the corner. We no longer look at food as food; we look at it as fuel. Start making small changes in your diet and see big changes in you physique.

Dallas, Texas (CaymanMama.com) — Many people think getting a washboard stomach, chiseled down to the rock hard core, is unattainable and virtually impossible.

Granted, it’s no easy task but in reality, getting six pack abs is simple math.

Nutrition + Exercise + Persistence = Success

Let’s be honest here…the majority of people will never get those washboard abs because they simply don’t have the dedication and motivation to keep at it, day after day. But it is doable! These two tips, if followed continually and with passion, will not only help to improve your abs but will also help to strengthen your core and your attitude!

Nutrition

Bar none, nutrition can make or break any attempt at washboard abs. In fact, nutrition is the single most important part of the entire equation. You can do one million crunches per day and have the most remarkable set of abs anywhere, but if they are covered by a layer of fat, no one will see them…not even you! Aim for 5 or 6 mini-meals each day as this is the best bet in jump starting your metabolism.

Limit or completely refrain from eating these ab-flab foods:

• refined, bleached carbs such as white bread and pasta
• cola
• candy
• friend food and fast food
• hydrogenated oils
• sugars including any kind of high fructose corn syrup
• Opt for these colorful, tasty foods that are good for the body and the mind–and are six pack-friendly as well!
• oatmeal
• extra virgin olive oil
• whole grains
• fruits & vegetables
• nuts
• eggs
• natural peanut butter
• lean protein such as chicken, turkey and fish
• green tea
• water

TIP: Keep your expectations in check by being realistic about your goals. You are human and will want to have a little cheat here and there. Do it! However, keep your overall focus on the prize and make a make a conscious effort to improve your nutrition.

Exercise

Although you will need to push yourself harder than the average exerciser, you will also need to focus on all kinds of exercise including cardio, weightlifting and ab exercises. Combine these three elements in your routine 5-6 times per week (but no less than 3 times per week). Cardio can consist of walking, running, cycling, martial arts, biking, swimming…anything you like and can stick to.

Implement interval training and high intensity training since doing so will burn fat fast.

Lifting weights is a critical part of six pack abs. Why? Simply put, three pounds of added muscle melts off as many calories as a one mile jog…all while sitting still! Shoot for 30-1 hour minutes, 3-4 times per week, alternating the muscle groups you work. Never work the same muscle group two days in a row.

Lastly, but definitely not least, ab exercises are a must! Work all part of your abs 3 times per week. Mix up your routine, take a class or get a trainer. But just keep at it!

TIP: Change up your workout and ab routine every 2-3 weeks to keep your body working. The reason for this is that your body is SMART and will get used to your routine. Shake it up and keep your body guessing what is coming next. Add or remove various weight training or ab exercises, changing up the weight and repetitions you do.

Follow these tips faithfully and keep track of your progress. You will see an improvement in your entire body, not just your abs.

To get the most from your workouts, quality supplementation can boost your performance, and enhance your muscle growth. To learn more click here>>

Keeping that in mind, there are some great products out there that will help you stay on target while providing you with nutrition, recovery, energy and enhanced fat burning. There is a great deal of hype for (and against) the vast majority of supplements – which are worth your money?

Note: There are no magic bullets. These products only help if you also follow a program of exercise and nutrition. Anything (including vitamins) used incorrectly will diminish the desired effects.

Supplements You Want

1. Protein Powder

Use: Because eating eight burgers a day would be bad.

Recommended: Protein Power Mix. It’s a quality whey protein, and it also tastes better (see below).

What it is: It’s food. More expensive proteins include casein, a slower-digesting protein that’s ideal to take before bedtime or if you’re planning a long gap between meals. Unless you’re vegan, use whey protein: it’s low in lactose, and soy protein doesn’t make the trip to your muscles quite as well.

Tips: You may want to sample a smaller-size container of various brands until you find one that tastes good to you. Mix the powder with milk or water, or for more flavor and nutrition, blend it with milk and either a handful of frozen strawberries, or ice, a banana and a tablespoon of peanut butter.

2. Pre Workout Formula

Complimenting these result-based products is the “Fat Release System”. Now here is a wonderful product that performs in a very desirable manner.  The results are real and my results are undeniable. Beginning my recent program with the Nitraplex high performance products and then instituting the complimentary “Fat Release System” has provided me with about a 10% loss of body fat and allowed me to maintain a relatively consistent body weight.  This 10% number relates to a 5 pound loss in my waist line! Please understand, that I was not trying to lose weight.  I was trying to lose the fat and increase the muscle mass. This is obviously what I have accomplished.

I anticipate that within the next 60 days the results will be even more to my liking. It is apparent to me that these products would enhance any personal health program.  For anyone desiring to loose a quantity of fat; for someone trying to gain healthy weight; or for someone that desires to be lean — these are the products.  In fact, I now recommend these very products to my associates and clients.

Accolades to the True Healthy Product team for a job well done.

Professionally,
Dr. S. Gregory”

Protein Power Mix Is Simply The Best Protein Mix Available

(THP) Pre- and post-workout meals are just as critical to your muscle growth (hypertrophy) as the training. These two processes work together to make your training program successful. The rigors of training breaks down your body and you need proper nutrition and rest to rebuild your body bigger and better.

PRE-WORKOUT NUTRITION

Pre-workout nutrition should mainly include carbohydrates and proteins. During intense physical activity, your body depends on fuel from glycogen made from the carbohydrates that you eat. The body can’t use fat for fuel during high intensity exercise because there is not enough oxygen available. Consuming fruits, vegetables, smoothies and simple sugars 1-2 hours before a workout will build up your glycogen stores. Glycogen is stored in your liver and muscles and it is broken down into glucose. Glucose is then used by your body to make energy. As a result, when your glycogen stores are low, your performance will suffer.

Research has shown the effectiveness of pre-workout protein drinks (such as whey and casein). These drinks will make enough amino acids available to take advantage of the increased blood flow to your working muscles. Also, your muscles get 2 times as much benefit from a pre-workout protein drink compared to having just a post-workout protein drink.

Endurance athletes can also benefit from consuming moderate amounts of fat (such as flax oil and omega 3s) because of the availability of oxygen during exercise or competition.

POST-WORKOUT NUTRITION

Post-workout nutrition is important to help the body recover from intense exercise. It is not necessary to eat immediately after your workout. But there is a 45 minute to 1 hour window where replenishing your body’s fuel (carbs, protein, fats) will optimize your tissue’s repair and growth. Carbohydrates are important for glycogen stores recovery. The type of carbohydrates consumed are not as important as the amount consumed (replenishment is the key issue).

So, how many daily carbs should you consume to replenish glycogen stores? It depends on your size and your sport.

Your body needs a minimum of 200 grams of carbs per day if you are a light exerciser. You will feel tired and listless without this amount of carbs.

Athletes in sports that require plyometrics, speed and weight training need about 2.5 grams of daily carbs per pound of body weight. A 180 pound athlete would need at least 450 grams of carbs each day to function properly.

Endurance athletes such as marathoners, swimmers, triathletes need high amounts of daily carbs. About 3.5 to 4.5 grams per pound of body weight is needed. So, a 180 pound athlete would need 630 to 810 grams of carbs per day. These athletes sometimes use carbohydrate loading before events.

Protein is another critical post-exercise nutrient. Protein provides amino acids which are used to repair and rebuild damaged tissues as a result of intense exercise. Again, protein shakes will work well here. Protein Power Mix has everything that is essential for your post workout needs.

Daily protein needs for athletes should be calculated according to body weight (not by percent of calories). Daily protein targets (grams per pound of body weight) are:

• Recreational exerciser, adult 0.5-0.75
• Competitive athlete, adult 0.6-0.9
• Growing teenage athlete 0.8-0.9
• Adult building muscle mass 0.7-0.9
• Maximum usable amount by adults 0.9 (your body will excrete excess protein)

For example, if you weigh 190 pounds and want a high protein intake (0.9 gms/lb), you’ll need 171 grams of protein. Protein should be eaten at least every 3-4 hours to insure adequate supply during the day. Your night meal should be comprised of slowly digesting protein (such as lean meats) that will give a constant release of amino acids into your system overnight.

Of course, hydration is also very important. Drink daily about a half an ounce of water for every pound of body weight (180 pound person would drink 90 ounces).

The post-exercise meal should consist of carbohydrates, protein and a small amount of essential fats. A drink, such as a protein power mix smoothie, is good because it is quickly digestible. A ratio of 2g carbs/1g protein is desirable. The carbs should be high glycemic , the proteins should be easily digestible (whey, egg or casein) and the fats should be from sources such as fish or flax oil.

Michael George, one of Hollywood’s most sought-after trainers and fitness experts, has discovered the remarkable and measurable benefits of Stemulite Fitness Formula.

Michael, who is an author of several bestselling books, recommends Stemulite Fitness Formula to all his clients who are looking for better sleep, greater strength and endurance, and faster recovery time.

He notes that every week the media comes out with new disclosures of amateur or professional athletes using steroids. Many athletes and health fanatics are willing to do whatever they believe is necessary to get results while ignoring the health, legal, and professional risks involved in using illegal substances.

According to studies and research, the use of anabolic steroids merely inflates your muscles (hence the term “juiced”) without providing permanent beneficial results. There are also several harmful side effects of steroid use, ranging from diabetes, rage, aggression and uncontrollable mood-swings, to significant changes to body systems that are not natural to the user’s gender.

Dr. Robert Shorr, highly recommends the Stemulite formulations as “the next generation all-natural fitness supplement for men and women. “It is the actual aggregate, interaction and synergy of all-natural proteins, enzymes and amino acids, including a stem cell agonist and a trace mineral called indium, that works its magic, for the ultimate easy, safe results you want, need and demand,” he says.

The core muscle building ingredient, “eggplant extract,” is a natural dietary adult stem cell agonist. When working out and pushing our bodies, our muscles and ligaments suffer tiny micro tears, creating the soreness from exercise. The eggplant extract quickly goes to work recruiting the sleeping adult stem cells in our bone marrow and starts repairing the micro tears and building new muscle. Keep in mind this is new muscle, not the temporary enlarged effect that anabolic steroids create.

“Stemulite is the most powerful supplement I have ever put into my body, period,” says Corey Simpson, a former Mr. Florida and now active fitness professional. “In the first couple of weeks of using Stemulite, I increased the weight I was lifting by 30 percent and I doubled the amount of repetitions in my workout. It was a little hard to believe. Within weeks, my muscle definition changed and I dropped excess water weight. In addition, Stemulite has also given me a great and deeper sleep, which is so important for recuperation. I just feel better than ever and have so much more endurance and energy.”

Corey and Paul Simpson of Tampa, Fla., both professional athletes and trainers that currently work with professional football and baseball players and boxers, were recruited to participate in and monitor the initial Stemulite trials. They worked with and monitored more than 20 athletes over a one-month period, changing nothing in their routine, but adding Stemulite to their daily diet. As the results came back, it was clear that by adding Stemulite to their regimens they experienced consistent and congruent results, including:

• Dramatic increase in strength and improved endurance
• Reduced recovery time to hours not days
• More repetitions and improved muscle definition
• A decrease in body mass index (BMI) and greater muscle tone
• Higher sustained energy and more consistent energy throughout the day
• Improved rest and sleep — the most common benefit

“Dear Tracie: I want to be strong. I currently walk four times per week or more, but don’t feel strong. I guess I need to do some weight training but don’t have a gym membership. What should I do? -HELP, RACHEL”

‘Dear Rachel:Well done for completing a regular walking program. You have already successfully started to integrate regular exercise into your lifestyle and now we only need to modify your training. Functional strength is what we need to program for you and it can be done at home after your walks without any problem.’

Functional strength means strength that focuses around the actions you do in your everyday routine. Push, pull, lift and bend.

Starting with the muscle groups that are the major movers usually hits these target areas. Here is a quick program to be performed in order and it can be done at home two to three times per week with a at least one day in between weight sessions, for example, Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Follow this strength training with basic stretching.

The ‘Great beginnings’ functional strength program

* 1-2 sets [20 wide stance squats, 20 front half lunges, 20 side shuffles [right, left]

* 1-2 sets [20 pushups, 20 flat band rows]
* 3 sets [20 pelvic tilts, 30 second hold in the plank]

Women who take Stemulite Fitness Formula have reported feeling better, dropping inches and pounds, and turning back the clock. To learn more about Stemulite Fitness Formula for women – click here>>

By balancing the feedback of the HPA complex one synchronizes the function and production of at least thirty-one hormones. This synchronization produces an almost universal feeling of euphoria and well-being in most users.

One of the theories regarding the aging process is that it is precipitated by the decreased production of certain hormones as we get older. Indium appears to counteract this by balancing and synchronizing the HPA complex, the hypothalamus, pituitary and adrenal glands. These hormones control sleep, metabolism, body temperature, appetite, blood pressure, sex desire and many other body functions.

Indium stimulates hormonal production to youthful levels. It does this by stimulating the HPA master hormone producers – that in turn stimulate the production of over thirty hormones. These hormones then circulate throughout the body and help prevent and fight various aspects of the aging process – for example, supplies of growth hormone are boosted, which controls metabolism and affects bone density.

Eggplant Extract Helps Repair & Induces Creation of New Muscle Fiber

(THP) Two new types of stem cells have been found that can seek out injured muscle tissue and replace the damaged cells. Both types respond to the alkaloids found in eggplant extract. Researchers in Italy used stem cells from blood vessels to repair muscle in mice with muscular dystrophy. Canadian scientists found that stem cells from damaged muscle give rise to new muscle fibers. The studies reveal how different types of stem cells repair injured muscle and point to a common conclusion: Damaged tissue sends out molecular signals that attract new stem cells. The stem cells then multiply and form new muscle fibers, replacing and repairing injured tissue.

Until recently the signals that recruit stem cells to sites of injury have been unknown. Understanding these signals seems to be the key to finding new ways to replace damaged tissues by encouraging the growth of stem cells already in the body. Athletes should also be interested in these findings, which lend credence to the “no pain, no gain” approach to strength training and may lead to new strategies for bulking up. Researchers found that stem cells from normal tissue would not multiply in culture, but those isolated from injured muscle readily proliferated and gave rise to new muscle cells.

Mental acuity and sharpness are required in almost all sports. Stem cell recruitment combined with exogenous ingestion of natural alkaloids that bind and activate the alpha 7 AChR receptors in the brain and promote clarity and mental concentration.

Within one week regular exercisers, who normally stop exercising due to muscular pain and fatigue should be able to increase their workout by 10% before reaching the pain threshold as indium helps reduce the painful buildup of lactic acid by removing it more quickly from the tissues.

In one very recent study with Indium conducted in Budapest, Hungary, 15 male members of the National Kung Fu Championship Team were measured for stamina. Each was administered one drop of liquid indium (ca. 5ml) sublingual for two months. When re-tested, 13 of the 15 demonstrated significant increases over baseline.

Although anecdotal, a group of distance runners recently reported 30% increase in running distance for the same time in just two weeks. A group of weight lifters recently reported increasing their standardized bench press by 40% in 60 days using the same protocol.

Indium also has a beneficial effect on the thyroid gland. By potentiating this gland and supporting proper thyroid levels, more calories are burned and weight is normalized.

These studies highlight the effectiveness of combining endurance exercise training and antioxidants in beneficially modulating the molecular defects in insulin action observed in insulin-resistant skeletal muscle. The insulin-like effects of ALA provide body builders a powerful synergistic effect when used with creatine.

“R”-ALA is prescribed in Germany to treat diabetic and alcoholic neuropathies and alcoholic liver disease, thought to result in part from free-radical damage. As discussed above, there is also evidence that it can help decrease insulin resistance; it speeds the removal of glucose from the bloodstream by enhancing insulin function, and thus helps control blood sugar, underlying many cases of coronary heart disease and obesity.

Mitochondrial function is paramount in brain function, health, and building a better physique.

(THP) There are at least two major functions of L-carnitine. All tissues except the brain use long-chain fatty acids for bioenergy production. In cardiac and skeletal muscle, a major contribution of bioenergy comes from the beta-oxidation of long-chain fatty acids. Long-chain fatty acids require L-carnitine to transport them across the inner membranes of the mitochondria, wherein their metabolism produces bioenergy. Following the delivery of long-chain fatty acids into other mitochondria, L-carnitine, either by itself or esterified to an acyl group, recrosses the mitochondrial membrane to allow for continual use in this shuttle process.

Another function of L-carnitine is to remove short-chain and medium-chain fatty acids from the mitochondria in order to maintain co-enzyme A levels in these organelles. These fatty acids accumulate as a result of normal and abnormal metabolism. This mechanism prevents the build-up in the mitochondria of short-chain and medium-chain fatty acids that may interfere with the bio-energy producing process vital to the normal function of the cell.

As mentioned above, L-carnitine is a neurotransmitter which crosses the blood brain barrier. Neurotransmitters are essential in mental processing, memory and concentration.

Stemulite Fitness Formula boosts immunity within the body

(THP) The immune system responds to cell signals that identify “self” from “non-self” (a germ or virus is considered non-self) by the release of complement. The insoluble Beta-glucan has the unusual ability to enter the blood stream via the Peyer’s patches in the gut and activate the immune system’s complement component regardless of whether or not the body is invaded by germs or viruses. Complement is a protein that affects only non-self organisms. The white cells of the body are mobilized to attack infections and disease and are guided by antibodies released by B-cells. Obviously, daily use of foods or supplements containing beta-glucan can maintain a heightened immunity to all disease.

When beta-glucan activates the body’s complement system such as CR3 receptors on stem cells, they are up-regulated to bind with certain growth factors released by injured tissue. These factors act as powerful signals to recruit somnambulant progenitor stem cells in the body to mobilize and migrate to certain disease or injured tissues in order to repair (and in the case of stem cells) or replenish the injured or dysfunctional cell population. Once stem cells become resident of a tissue system (such as a muscle group) or organ they quickly multiply and replace old tissue with new juvenile cells which are able to mature in a matter of hours or days into the same tissue type that was earlier dysfunctional. If the genetic component of the tissue is normal, the new cells continue replicating indefinitely, completely and permanently eradicating the problem. In the case of fitness training, the stem cells are recruited in great numbers to mobilize in muscle systems replacing fat and adding brand new muscle.
