You also need a very good diet to see the underneath muscles of the abdomen, 6 pack will not show up even if it is big if there are fats covering them. What I do to get rid of those fats in the abdomen, is the diet that I called "supermeal" I eat carbs in the morning as well as meat and vegetables, I also eat the same type of food in lunch, but during night I only eat pineapple. I get rid of 2inches of my belly fats in 2days no kidding, try it to see it for yourself.

What is DiabetesMellitus?

2010-01-17T01:05:00.000-08:00

Diabetes Mellitus is a metabolic disease characterized by increase levels of glucose in the blood, termed as (hyperglycemia) which means “hyper” (elevated) “glyco” or “glucose” (sugar) and “emia” (blood) elevated sugar in the blood. It results from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action or both. Normally a certain amount of sugar circulates in the blood, around 70-120 mg/dl. The major sources of this glucose are absorption of ingested food in the gastrointestinal tract and formation glucose by the liver from the food substances termed as (gluconeogenesis) “gluco” (sugar) “neo” (new) and “genesis” (formation).
Insulin a hormone produced by the pancreas, controls the level of glucose in the blood by regulating the production and storage of glucose. In the diabetic condition the cells may stop responding to insulin or the pancreas may stop producing insulin entirely. This leads to hyperglycemia, which may result in acute metabolic complications such as diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and hyperglycemic hyperosmolar nonketotic syndrome (HHNS). Long term effects of hyperglycemia contribute to macrovascular complications (coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular disease, and peripheral vascular diseases), chronic microvascular complications (kidney and eye disease) , and neuropathic complications (diseases of the nerves).

Step out, Muscle up

The squat is a great exercise for building your quads and hamstrings, but a slight tweak can help you work even more muscle. Squatting with a wide stance increases the activation of your glutes, says scientists from Italy. What’s more, setting your feet about twice hip-width apart, as the study participants did, doesn’t lessen the impact on your quads and hamstrings. But be careful: weak glutes can make your knees cave in. keep your knees in line with your toes by pushing outward with your knees as you stand back up.

Your heart and lungs aren’t the only body parts that benefit from cardio. Vigorous exercise may prevent vision loss. Two new studies indicate. A 7-year study of nearly 41,000 runners found that men who run regularly have a lower risk of developing cataracts. And in separate study, 110 men who ran more than four kilometers a day cut their risk of age related macular degeneration by as much as 54 percent. Study author Paul T. Williams, PhD, of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California, says the next step is to determine how running preserves eyesight.

Protein, Simplified

Here’s a way to make your protein last longer. Canadian researchers have found that just 20grams of protein following your workout is enough to spend muscle growth. While more protein didn’t do harm, it didn’t provide any further benefit to the participant’s muscles.I know that I mention way back when I was young and vigorous, huh. I went to gym for a several time and after that I take protein milk. And a capsule of amino acids we all know that when the protein is broken down it became amino acids, so in that case I am taking a broken down protein. But because of this article now I know that all of those capsule and milk are just waste of money all I need is just 1 or 2 eggs a day.”

Gym Clothes that Cure

Workout gear may do more than wick away sweat. Compressing garments may reduce muscle soreness. Australian researchers found that men reported improved recovery from their workouts when they wore the tight fitting clothing overnight. Interestingly, the scientists point out that he benefits were most likely psychological-not physical. They say it’s psychological but this does mean that you will not buy a special fitted clothing and still you will achieved the same effect this maybe yes or no. So that’s why it’s psychological, but it is much better if you have one fitted clothes that you will wear when your muscles are sore.” I don’t know but I think it’s much better.

In the study, prostate-cancer patients were given daily doses of a drug made mostly from the catechins in green tea.

Sugar’s New Threat

2010-01-01T01:16:00.000-08:00

Sugary drinks may increase your risk of heart disease, especially if you’re heavy, say scientists from the University of California at Davis. In the study, over weight people who drank a fructose-sweetened beverage with a meal saw their triglyceride levels spike three times as high over 24 hours than people who drank a glucose-sweetened beverage. Triglycerides are fats in your blood, and high levels are thought to boost heart-disease risk. Your liver convert’s fructose to triglycerides, causing the spike, says study author Karen Teff, PhD. Most fruit juices also contain fructose, so dilute apple juice with equal parts of water.For those who like sweets they say they have sweet tooth. But me I don’t have one, so I decide to share this with you guys. Avoid sweets sometimes it’s not good for your health. I hope the candy and chocolate factories won’t read this.Huh

Regulate Blood Pressure not with pril’s but with Fiber

2010-01-01T01:15:00.000-08:00

Eating whole grains may lower your risks of high blood pressure, according to a Harvard School of Public Health study. One reason: they contain fiber, which produces by-products that may reduce damage to your arteries and help prevent hypertension, says study coauthor Eric Rimm ScD. And fiber-rich whole foods are better than supplements because they contains several nutrients. The effect is synergistic: while fiber may be nutrient most beneficial to blood pressure, Rimm says, its effect is enhanced by a food’s antioxidant, vitamins, and minerals, most notably potassium. Here where I worked we used to have a patient with high blood pressure, I have the same health teaching avoid fatty and salty foods, exercise and take medications regularly. But now I have a additional health teaching eat Gardenia whole wheat bread. Hahaha”.

There is hope after all. A Wake Forest University Study of 4,000 men and women in North Carolina found that there are no clear qualities as to what women find attractive. Participants aged 18-70 were asked to rate pictures of people aged 18-25 based on the number of attributes. The men were mostly in agreement as to the attractive qualities of women, while ladies did not have a consensus as to what defines an attractive male. Although the females rated body shape, sexual suggestiveness, and confidence as attractive, these did not translate into desired traits-when asked if they were interested in dating the person in the photo. The results of the suggest one thing-personality counts.

Better Waistline, Better Sex life

Stick with your exercise program and she’ll love you more in the sack, too. A recent study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine found that men who had smaller waistline, lower body mass indexes (BMI), and were physically active had lower rates of erectile dysfunction. The study which surveyed almost 4,000 men over the age of 20, also found that having a larger waistline and lack of physical exertion can increase the risk of erectile dysfunction. Researchers suggest that you should keep your waistline below 40 inches and get at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week to ensure your optimum performance.

Nuts for Neurons.

2010-01-01T01:03:00.000-08:00

High blood sugar has an accomplice: elevated triglycerides, which may de a hidden cause of nerve damage in people with diabetes. In a University of Michigan study, diabetic participants whose triglyceride levels were highest had 25 percent more nerve damage after a year than those with lower levels, regardless of either group’s glucose levels. “High triglycerides probably leads to oxidative stress, which may cause injury to motor and sensory neurons,” says study author Eva Feldman, MD, PhD. If your triglycerides are above 150 milligrams per deciliter, swap refined carbohydrates for a daily dose of pistachios. Snacking on 3 ounces of pistachios daily can lower your triglycerides by 22 percent. Did I mention to you that I was a RN?, Registered Nurse to be exact. Back when I was still college to I used to take vitamins and supplement or the so called brain enhancers. Because you know in the medical field when you are still studying you really need to memorize the lesson not just understand because if you forgot the term your damn dead.

UP- based nutritionist Luz Callanta RND, says that in terms of nutritional value, milk from a tin can is equally good as milk from a carton. The difference is a matter of preference. To some people, pouring a glass is simply more convenient, albeit definitely more expensive. Callanta explains that milk is made into powder by a spray drying process, also used in making coffee, flavourings and various medicines. This lengthens shelf life minus the need for refrigeration, but keeps the nutrients intact. As both powdered and liquid variety can be fortified with vitamins and minerals, you can easily make a choice depending on what suits your taste and your budget. I used to drink milk way back when I still went to the gym. And for me I much prefer the milk from the carton because I thought it was much healthier but a lot more expensive, but because of this article I now knew that powder milk and fresh milk from the carton are just about the same. So what do you think I used now? Nah don’t bother to guess. Just pick your milk that suits you.”

Let’s take our cue from wrestlers, as Carlomagno Canta, CSCS, points out that a strong neck for a wrestler is the equivalent of a strong back for a strength athlete. The neck bridge, known to some as wrestler’s bridge, is an exercise that puts serious pressure on those muscles. To do this, lie flat on your back then lift your body, keeping your feet and head on the floor, thus forming a kind of bridge. This move should be performed carefully as it can be dangerous. Canta says that boxers also strengthen their necks by wrapping a towel around a dumbbell, biting on the towel and rocking their head back and forth. This helps them withstand the whiplash effect of those quick punches. I used to have a forward head, so that’s why they call me a Neanderthal because of that and I also learned that the reason of my forward head is I have weak neck muscle. This information will be beneficial for us who also suffers the same condition.
