The Exercise Myth

Posted By bunda | Posted on Jun 28, 2008



Innumerable researches are being done in the modern world about nutrition, exercise and the human body. Some of this research has confirmed what we are already applying in our regular life, things like, a healthy diet and regular exercise which helps one to live long and prosper. There is also negative aspect in our daily application. Some research, however, has proved that some “common wisdom” about exercise is just apparently wrong.

Here are ten myths that you are not recommended to:

1. Lifting weights makes you bulk up. Actually, this is true—if you are male. Women do not have the biochemistry necessary to develop big, bulky muscles. They will get stronger, but not bulkier.

2. Is it inevitable to gain weight as you age? It is a false notion. People gain weight as they age because they become more sedentary and their metabolic rate drops. Weight gain is not inevitable.

3. As fat people are not fit, have you to lose weight before you can get in shape? Again this is a false notion. Fitness has to do with flexibility, muscle strength, endurance and cardiovascular endurance. This does not concern with how fat you are. Fat people may not look fit, but some are in pretty good shape. Getting in shape will also help you to lose weight faster because it makes your body burn calories faster.

4. Is that true no pain, no gain? This is absolutely not. You should not hurt before, during or after exercise. Some mild, transient muscle soreness may occur in the first few times you work out. But it should not persist.

5. If you don’t exercise regularly, there’s no point in exercising at all? Nay, it is not true. Of course, it’s ideal to exercise regularly. But anything at all is better than nothing at all.

6. Old people can’t exercise? Exercise has definite benefits for older people. If you have health problems or haven’t exercised in a while, though, you should check with your doctor and discuss what kind of exercise will be most beneficial for you. There may be some kinds of exercise you should avoid.

7. You can get a flat tummy (or butt or firm thighs, etc) by working those muscles! This one is true. If you are lean and trim, you can improve the appearance of your tummy or backside with resistance training. If, however, you have a thick layer of fat over your abs and gluts, your tummy won’t get flat. It will, however, get strong, and that will help your posture and prevent back injuries.

8. Always stretch along before exercising. Recent research indicates that stretching before a workout doesn’t do any good, and may even limit your performance slightly.

9. Everybody benefits from exercise! True, in some ways. Everybody does get some benefit from exercise. But not everybody gets the same benefit. People have a range of different responses to exercise


10. You can’t exercise if….. Just about everybody can do some kind of exercise? They do passive exercises on people who are unconscious and on breathing machines in the hospital. Many people have exercise limitations, but everybody benefits from moving about a little bit.

Advantages of treadmill exercise

Posted By bunda | Posted on Jun 26, 2008



The Modern way of life of fast food and video games obligates everyone to worry about their fitness. This is the great survival of the fitness in every human’s life in spite of the quality of life that one lead.
This is the reason you should give importance to the most out of your time on the treadmill exercise. The following are the tips to ensure that your endurance and your fitness improve, in the most efficient manner possible when spending time on the treadmill.

Warm-Up

The warming-up is the most important before starting treadmill exercise. This is often the most overlooked aspect while you are on your treadmill exercise. If you fail to warm up properly, you may find that your muscles will tighten. You will not able to push yourself as far as you otherwise would. Forgetting this will increase your chances of experiencing muscle strain or cramp. This could set you back a long way on your journey to peak physical condition.

Nutrition

If you do not have dieting time table before eating a lot, it will surely lead to end up with cramps. That’s why you have to concentrate on the balanced diet, right between having enough energy to perform and not feeling bloated. To achieve this, eat food that is high in calories but low in fat. Pasta based dishes are a great example of this, and could mean that you end up being able to push yourself to the maximum.

Hydration

Staying well hydrated will allow you to push yourself up to 20% further than you would otherwise be able to. Not only that, but it will also allow you to recover in a much quicker time frame. While deciding which drink is the best for you, remember to stay away from anything gassy. Some people like to drink water, however drinking something which is able to provide energy at the same time, can also be beneficial and may allow a person to feel less thirsty. While it is important to drink during the exercise, you should be careful not to drink too much. This can be a sure way to stop you getting the most out of your training, if you start to get the feel of swelling up. In order to stop this from happening, drink frequently but recommended in small amounts.


Going the Extra Mile

Following the above advice, you will have the most benefit from your training.
And it is also the only way you will continue to improve quickly. Also you should not forget that every training session should involve a slightly harder work out than the last. For example, you managed to run for 20 minutes at a certain speed on your last session. Later, you should try to keep going for 22 minutes. Do not push yourself too hard, too fast, or you may find that you end up under motivate and you will be forced to stop training on your treadmill altogether.

Effective Ab Exercises

Posted By bunda | Posted on Jun 22, 2008



One should not forget the three components, for working out one’s abs to get that sculptured look—nutrition, aerobic exercise and abdominal training. You should not have a splashboard stomach with an 8-inch layer of fat over it.
For getting a good six-pack, you have to remove the fat that covers your abdominal muscles, and that takes a nutritionally balanced weight-loss diet and aerobic exercise. Your abs can be strengthened even before you lose the fat. The abdominals are core muscles and strong abs stabilizes your spine, give you good posture and balance and help you move smoothly and gracefully.

Anatomy

There are three layers of abdominal muscles. They run in three different directions. The outermost layer contains the outer oblique muscles, which run diagonally along the sides of your abdomen, connecting the posterior ribs, spine and pelvis. The middle layer contains the internal oblique, which run just under the external ones, and the “ rectus “ abdominal. The “rectus” is a broad, flat muscle that runs vertically down the front of your abdomen from the ribs to your pelvis. It is crossed by several horizontal tendons. These give you that six-pack look. The bottom layer contains the transverse abdominal, which runs horizontally across your abdomen from side to side.

By way of general knowledge, you should know what the function of each of the muscles is:
• The rectus flexes your spine.
• The transverse abdominal is primarily used for abdominal breathing.
• The external oblique rotates your body toward the opposite side (contracting the left external oblique causes you to rotate toward the right.)
• The internal oblique rotates your body toward the same side.

Protect Your Spine

While doing abs training, you should not forget that these muscles are attached to your spine. Make sure that you are doing exercises correctly; consult with a trainer if you’re not sure how to perform them.

Full sit ups are not recommended anymore by anyone because they 1) aren’t necessary for exercising your abs and 2) can injure your spine. Doing crunches instead is the most welcome one.

Whenever you are doing ab training, place your hands behind your neck and press your back toward the floor. Keep your knees bent. This protects the natural curves of your spine.

THE MOST IMPORTANT: If you have osteoporosis or a previous back injury, do not forget to check with your doctor before attempting any abs training exercises.

Crunches

The entire abs training exercises are a variation on the basic crunch. You can raise your hips or your shoulders. But the object is to contract the abdominal muscles. The following are a few crunch pointers:
• Save crunches for the end of your workout. Remember, the abdominal muscles are involved in respiration, and you should not exhaust them early in the workout.
• Pull your stomach in—press your belly button into your back to contract the transverse muscle. Remember, you should not hold your breath while you’re doing this.
• Keep your abdominals tightened throughout a series of reps. Make your movements slow and controlled, and pause briefly at the top of each rep.
• Don’t raise your hips or shoulders more than 4-6 inches off the floor—that’s all you need for full contraction of the muscles.
• Do lateral crunches to work the oblique—pointing your left shoulder at your right knee.


Do not forget this! Crunches are the key to strong abs—regular crunches, oblique crunches, hip raises, crunches with added weight. Keep crunching and soon you’ll have great abs.

Measures to Detoxification (Treatment for addiction of drugs)

Posted By bunda | Posted on Jun 18, 2008


It is one of the wonders of the Creation of God that human body is mysteriously functioning exactly the way human body functioned several million years ago. The fact that our bodies today are the same as in the beginning of the Creations, it is vital to eat, drink, and live the same as in the years past. That is, as people lived several millions years ago. But the present modern society is following one of the most unnatural styles known to mankind. Technological development has engulfed our lives. We are amidst Computers, the Internet, cell phones, digital cameras and DVDs.
It does not mean that our body also has to keep up with our technological fore running. Technological innovations should not be forced into our body. But, this is actually what is happening now. We bombard the chemicals in our foods and environments, and with the imminent threat of chemical warfare. Cancer rates and cardiovascular disease in the United States alone are among the highest in the world, as a result of technology meddling with our food supply and living environments.

Why should we detoxify?

Just as one cannot wash greasy dishes without hot water or dish soap, so too, the toxic metals and chemical food additive which got into our body cannot be cleansed without a proper stronger “ Cleanser”. These Cleansers are the combination of vitamins and minerals thru detoxification work. In this chemical process, the toxins are removed from our body tissues and body organs, from our water stores, fat deposits and within our bloodstream. Hence, Natural Cleansing is vital to remove body toxins, and also it protects from re-depositing them somewhere in our body.

It is an open fact that a lead shield blocks radiation during an x-ray. In the same manner toxins such as lead, mercury, and side effects of aspartame’s by-products of formic acid and formaldehyde, blocks nutrients from getting into normal body cells. Due to the presence of toxins within our body, oxygen and the body’s “food supply” cannot get inside our cells. Oxygen and body’s “food supply” are essential to supply the needed nutrients, as otherwise the cells’ waste products cannot get out. Diseases, such as cancer, now have an environment in which to form, if these toxins are not removed. When these body toxins are removed, your body can then restore a healthy balance.

Identification, Removal and Restoration.

Detoxification program will be effective only when you identify, remove, and restore them.
Identify what toxins are at the root of your health problems.
Identify = hair analysis

Remove the toxins by cleansing your body.
Remove = detoxification

Restore lost nutrients.
Restore = nutritional supplements

Each layer of toxins inside our body is removed through detoxification as one peal off an onion layer. The underlying layers reveal what is really behind disease symptoms.
Like pealing the layers off an onion, as each layer is removed through detoxification, the underlying layers reveal what’s really behind disease symptoms. The deeper we go towards removing the ‘ centre ‘ of the problem, healing becomes long-term
realness.

Ten Steps To Detoxification.

One has to begin with detoxifying ones body of all residual chemical toxins and see if any adverse health symptoms remain. One can try these steps for oneself, and within 30 days the symptoms should improve, if not completely disappear.

The ten steps are:

1. Remove all chemicals from your diet.
2. Learn to ‘read’ your body. Begin recording any health changes.
3. Get a hair analysis.
4. Be happy with yourself.
5. Detoxify.
6. Restore depleted nutrients.
7. Exercise and get plenty of rest.
8. Eat 75% raw foods at every meal.
9. Drink water, water, water.
10. Get control of your life.


One should not overlook the fact that healing from the disease and illness takes faith, personal strength, and conservation. Curing illness and degenerative diseases with a mind-body approach might be considered old-fashioned. And also it is considered ineffective when compared to today’s high tech prescriptions. But it is the fact that the roots of disease and their cures are as old-fashioned as the body itself, and healing begins with “one’s own self”.

Why hair analysis?

It is the hair analysis which determines exactly what chemicals are inside our body, including radiation.
Routine medical lab tests fail to identify deep tissue toxins and nutrient depletions, the same way a hair analysis does.

The protein in hair fiber holds the composition of the body tissues for a permanent period. From the analyses of hair fiber composition, one can tell which toxins have accumulated in the body tissues and what vitamins and minerals are depleted or too abundant causing imbalances in body function. By detoxifying unnatural chemicals and by replacing specific vitamins of individual needs, proper health can be restored using nutrition. The human hair analysis points out these levels. Hence this is the BEST tool out there.

Here is a citation of hair analysis report of a twenty-year-old male, toxic in mercury. This Individual has been a vegetarian all of his life, and ate canned tuna almost every day. His over-all toxins were low and his nutrients were fairly balanced. But his mercury level was dangerously high which, in turn, depleted his lithium stores. Lithium is a vital element that supports emotional and hormonal development. Thinking he was on a ‘healthy’ diet, this Individual would never have known the potential health dangers within his tissues and bloodstream without having a hair analysis performed. He is happy to know that he prevented future health problems, and now knows how to adjust his diet and supplement program to achieve optimum health.

Good nutrition works.

* Take the time to check, at which point you may have gotten off track nutritionally and what ‘poisons’ you have been exposed to.

* Detox your body of all environmental and food chemicals you have been exposed to, throughout your lifetime.

* Restore depleted nutrients through proper supplements and whole foods.

Health and well being of an Individual return once the toxins in his body are removed which are the root cause of the most diseases. An effective detoxification plan polishes off the source of disease symptoms, such as aspartame or radiation poisoning, detoxifies toxic residue from the body, and replaces specific nutrients to regain a state of wellness.

Toxins are at the root of most diseases, and once they are removed, health and well being return. An effective detoxification plan removes the source of disease symptoms, such as aspartame or radiation poisoning, detoxifies toxic residue from the body, and replaces specific nutrients to regain a state of wellness.
