Curiosity Has The Best of Me ????
curious, life, question
|
I've noticed for some time now some fitness people on this site have a " private profile " and I'm just "curious" as to why they would do that rather then sharing, socializing or whatever ?? If you are one of those people PLEASE don't take this personal or in any bad way - just trying to learn. THANKS !!

Debate on Vitamin Absorption !! ??
vitamins, health, fitness, ideas
|
If you have ever popped 500 mg of vitamin C or another vitamin and wondered if your body actually absorbs the full dose, you are not alone. It is a fact your body will absorb many more vitamins and mineral supplements in liquid form rather than pill form. The debate goes on though and liquid vitamins are flying off the shelf. Vitamin water, juices, capsules and powder are growing in popularity every day. Coffee has been documented to interfere with vitamin absorption as well as any beverage or food containing caffeine. Any beverage or food containing caffeine such as coffee, tea, chocolate and some sodas can inhibit the absorption of important vitamins and minerals and increase their excretion from the body.
Just fot the record I don't sell Vitamin Water or Juices, etc.

My Fathers Alzheimer's .... !!
alzheimer's, health, fitness, mind, life
|
I took my father and mother to a local fishing hole over the weekend to watch my father watch others fish. He was a big time fisherman when I was growing up. We did lots of fishing and hunting together. Now I'm his main caregiver other than the nursing home he's in. I see him almost every day and enjoy our talks. I'm blessed that he still recognizes me and very few others. New medications are being developed so who knows !! ?? He is amazingly healthy except his Alzheimer's. Sometimes it's like the "Twilight Zone" and other times it almost "normal".
I here it's not hereditary but I'm "aware" of it and trying to eat and act to prevent it !!

Eating Before Beditme !! ??
health, fitness, muscles, nutrition, sleep
|
Eat no later than 2-3 hours before going to bed - especially carbs, late at night increases you fat stores. Eating high-glycemic carbs (pasta, potatoes, white rice, sugar, etc.) right before bed will spike your insulin levels and blunt nighttime HUMAN GROWTH HORMONE (HGH) production. Thats very bad because about 80% of this fat-burning, muscle building SUPER HORMONE is released during sleep. If you fast for 11 hours (8pm to 7am for instance) your body will begin burning fat around the 5th hour and continue until you wake up. If you're currently strength training to build muscle, a great end of the day meal is low fat cottage cheese (full of slowly digested (casien protein) with no sugar added fresh or canned fruit.
What and when you eat at the end of the day can have a large impact on your weight. If you eat the right thing at the right time you can actually lose weight while you sleep. Eat the wrong thing at the wrong time and you can plan on waking up with a little more body fat in the morning.

Cable Crossover Chest Exercise !!
chest, pecs, flys, muscles, crossovers
|
For strength and pectoral definition try Cable Crossovers. Stand between two high cable pulley attachments. Grasp a pulley in each hand, bend slightly forward keeping your elbows slightly bent but locked and perform a fly movement by bringing your hands from out at your sides to directly in front of you. Repeat. This "hugging" motion will hit muscles you are not hitting on the bench press and dumble presses. Start with a light weight and work up accordingly. You can also at the peak of this movement flex or squeeze your pec muscles together for a one-count for an added "BONUS". Your "good soreness" will be rewarded. Enjoy !!
