The 5 Best Muscle Gaining Supplement

The 5 Best Muscle Gaining supplement

1. Protein supplements

Without protein - YOU CAN'T Build Muscle because... Your muscles are made up of mostly protein & water and...

If at least 30% of the calories you eat everyday is not protein - You can expect NOT to build a lot of muscle so...

Make sure you eat a variety of high protein muscle building foods like Lean beef, fish (canned tuna & salmon) , lean chicken or turkey, eggs & egg whites, cottage cheese + Protein shakes & Meal Replacements and...
The reason why you want to eat a variety of high protein foods is so you can get all the amino acids your body needs to build muscle and...

Although Muscle is made up of Protein - Protein is made up of amino acids so really... Amino acids are the basic building blocks of muscle and...

Since there's *20 different types of amino acids - you want to try to eat a different source of protein in each of your meals or at least you should try changing your protein sources daily.
*You can probably still build muscle by eating the same protein food source all the time but if you ever hit a muscle building plateau - Eating a different Protein food source can definitely help you break out of that muscle building plateau and build more muscle.

2. Protein Shakes & Meal Replacements

Protein shakes & Meal Replacements come in handy when you don't have time to prepare a meal or cook a high protein steak for example and...

There's basically 3 types of protein shakes you can take...

1. Fast acting Whey Protein shakes

Whey protein is quickly absorbed or digested by your body and this is what makes whey protein perfect to have within 2 hours after working out so your body can quickly get the protein it needs to help you recovery and build muscle faster after working out.

2. Slow acting Casein & Egg Protein shakes

These are usually called night-time proteins because they are digested slowly (Casien & egg protein shakes take about 4-to-8 hours to digest) and the slow digestion makes it best to take at nighttime or in your last daily meal so your muscles can still get a steady supply of protein even while you sleep.

3. Blended Protein shakes

These are just protein shakes that have a combination of whey, casein and egg in them and usually.. Most Meal Replacements (MRP's) like Labrada Lean Body For Men are made up of blended proteins.

Remember: You only need PROTEIN to build muscle so You don't need Protein shakes & Meal Replacements to build muscle but...

You may find it very hard to make & eat 5-to-6 different protein food sources everyday in each of your 5-to-6 meals to build muscle so...

It's best that you try to consume 2-to-3 quick & easy to make protein shakes and/or MRP's daily to save time.

3. Water

Your muscles are estimated to be somewhere between 70-to-80% water and 25% Protein so You should try to drink at least 1 liter of water everyday.

4. L-Glutamine supplement

L-Glutamine or Glutamine is an amino acid and you already know that amino acids are the building blocks of protein and your muscle is made up of protein & water but of all the 20 amino acids that make up the muscle building proteins in your body...
Glutamine makes up more than 60% of those amino acids in your muscles which makes it a very important muscle building supplement and...

If you eat foods high in protein along with Protein shakes & Meal Replacements - You'll get enough Glutamine to build muscles and...

To help you recovery and build muscle faster - you can supplement with 10-to-20 grams of L-Glutamine powder daily.

Fact: Hospitals give trauma and post surgical patients about 20-to-40 grams of Glutamine a day via an intravenous solutions to help their muscles recovery & grow faster.

5. Complex Carbs (carbohydrates) & Healthy Fat

Before you think about going on an ultra-high protein only diet - You must know that YOU CAN'T Build Muscle without eating enough Carbs and fats so really...

About 45-to-65% of the total daily calories you eat should be from carbs & healthy fats and the rest protein and here's why carbs & fats are important for building muscle...

If you don't eat enough carbs - your body will breakdown and burn muscle for energy causing you to lose muscle and...
You need to eat carbs to stay energized so you can workout longer and lift heavier weights to build bigger muscles because... Carbohydrates are what your body uses for energy and more importantly...
Without enough healthy fats in your diet like monounsaturated fats & Omega-3's - your body can't produce testosterone which is a MAJOR muscle building hormone .

Quit Smokeless Tobacco or.......

Smokeless tobacco is also known as chewing tobacco or spitting tobacco. The activities are divided into two activities; snuff and chewing tobacco. These both types of smokeless tobacco are held in the mouth inside the cheek or between the cheek and gum.

 Smokeless tobacco has very bad effect for human health, because tobacco contains at least 28 cancer-causing chemicals, medically known as carcinogens. The main carcinogens in smokeless tobacco are the tobacco-specific nitrosamines. Some of the other cancer-causing agents found in smokeless tobacco are formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, arsenic, benzopyrene, nickel, and cadmium.

 Nicotine is also found in smokeless tobacco, like all tobacco products. Although nicotine is absorbed more slowly from smokeless tobacco than from cigarettes, 3 to 4 times more nicotine is absorbed from smokeless tobacco than from a cigarette, and the nicotine from smokeless tobacco remains longer in the bloodstream. Nicotine is the substance responsible for tobacco addiction. A number of significant health risks are associated with the use of smokeless tobacco.

 Cancer risk
 Users of smokeless tobacco are at an increased risk for certain types of cancer, most notably cancer of the oral cavity, including cancers of the cheek, gums, lips, tongue, and floor and roof of the mouth. Some studies have suggested a link between the use of smokeless tobacco and the development of pancreatic cancer, esophageal cancer, and stomach cancer.

 Other health risks
 Those who use smokeless tobacco have an increased risk of:

 - developing gum diseases and gum recession (pulling away of the gum tissue from the teeth)

 - leukoplakia (whitish patches inside the mouth that can become cancerous)

 - abrasion (wearing down) of teeth

 - staining of teeth

 - tooth decay

 - tooth loss.

Handy Guide To Effective Leukemia Treatment

Leukemia ChemotherapyLeukemia leads to a reduction of white blood cells in the body system. Leukemia can thus be treated by way of ensuring that the body increases the White blood cells count. Leukemia treatment can also be done just by use of the same methods as used to treat cancer.

Leukemia Chemotherapy is one such way, though this may take too much time. In fact, treatment using Leukemia Chemotherapy can take a period of not less than two years. Another way of treating the Leukemia is by bone marrow transplant. Leukemia bone marrow transplant is expensive and is done in very few countries since it involves use of sophisticated instruments and highly experienced medics.

Replacement of the infected bone marrow with a healthy one is what it entails. A radiation therapy is also recommended though this has to go hand in hand with Leukemia Chemotherapy. Radiation entails giving doses of x-ray for a couple of months.

In cases where there is overproduction of White blood cells, there may be some blood infections. This may lead to blood disorders, and hence become necessary to use antibiotics to fight the problem.

If leukemia is at early stages, one can prolong survival with active immunotherapy. This is however still being experimented, as it is reported by Leukemia Society of America. Leukemia is actually a chronic problem and its treatment is not a matter of a short duration of time. Patience is thus of paramount importance. Cases of complete eradication using the above mentioned methods have been reported worldwide.

Breast Cancer Info - Symptoms, Signs & Treatment for Breast Cancer

Breast Cancer Info 

 

In a perfect world, we'd get prior warning when breast cancer was about to occur. An alarm would sound, a red flag would wave or we'd receive a letter in the mail. But the real world, unfortunately, isn't quite so thoughtful.
Breast Cancer Info


Symptoms of Breast Cancer



Early breast cancer presents no outward symptoms. There is no pain, and no warning. In fact, the only means of breast cancer diagnosis in its preliminary stage is by finding a lump or an abnormality. This can be done by performing breast self-examination, or by way of a yearly mammogram.


Most lumps that are found in the breast are not cancerous. However, it is essential to have a doctor examine the lump immediately.


Some women find that breast cancer is indicated by a bump above the collarbone or under the arm. This bump might be persistent, and then other symptoms of breast cancer may appear. These can include changes to the skin and surface of the breast, as well as nipple inversion or discharge.


Discharge from the breast is quite common and is rarely among symptoms of breast cancer. However, if there is blood in the discharge, or if it happens in only one breast, then a physician would be more concerned. Nipple inversion is also very common, but if it occurs suddenly, it should also be brought to the attention of your doctor.


If you notice swelling or redness of the breast, this might indicate an infection of the tissue. Quick treatment is advised for any type of infection. Similarly, if you find strong pain, redness, or swelling in your shoulder, armpit, or breast, seek the advice of your health care provider. Breast cancer treatment is mostly easily when it is detected early.


Where breast cancer is present, changes may occur to the skin such as redness, puckering and changes to texture. There are some skin diseases that may cause a similar effect, however it's important to have a professional consultation to rule out any possibility of cancer.


Breast cancer can take months or even years to develop. Once diagnosed, it's crucial to begin Breast cancer treatment immediately, as it is much more difficult to treat cancer once it has begun to spread throughout the body in what is called metastastic spread.




 Signs of breast cancer



Some of the earliest signs of breast cancer can be detected by a mammogram test. Women over 40 should have this test done once per year. The test uses an electronic scanner to examine breast tissue. If something abnormal shows up, contact your physician to determine if it is something to worry about and seek treatment for.


In addition to a mammogram, manual examination and ultrasolography may also be used to detect abnormalities. A complete physical examination of the breast includes a visual inspection and palpitation, including the armpits and areas around the collarbone. Your health care provider may palpate for a lump or feel for a thickening in the skin. A biopsy, where a piece of the lump or tissue is removed, is the only definite method to test the cells and provide a positive diagnosis.


Here are some of breast cancer's most common symptoms:


* A lump in the breast, above the collarbone or under the arm, that stays for longer than a week


* Nipple discharge


* Changes to the nipples, such as inversion


* Changes on the breast's skin surface


During your regular self-examinations, if you find any of these symptoms, don't take a chance, but see your doctor as soon as you can to determine if what you have found requires treatment.

  • The shaver is quite expensive.

  • The shaver is noisier than the Norelco.

  • The users have to buy cleaning cartridges once a month.

  • The charger/cleaner is cheaply constructed. The cleaner stand is cheap plastic looking in comparison to the high-end look of the shaver.

  • Some users experience pulling and grabbing on the chin hairs and it was painful.

  • The “Hygiene” indicator seems a bit too sensitive and will be at empty after about 2-3 shave.

  • The wall plug is too long before the cord bends down, so that it unseats from being plugged into the wall by its own weight.

  • It is really noisy when cleaning.

  • It still leaves small patches of hair in random places.

  • The built in battery/hygiene indicator on bottom of the razor has some issues. When the hygiene is low your razor will automatically cut off.

  • The display for the battery and for hygiene are not bright or easy to read.

  • The user cannot get a clean shave around his neck region, especially the side lower neck regions
    No remaining shaving time indication.

  • The foil seems to be having holes that are too small. This caused the hair (especially on under the chin, neck area) does not get caught into the foil, so the vibrating blade has nothing to cut that leaves many places on the user’s face with single uncaught hairs sticking here and there.

  • The contacts at the back do not make good contact with the charging/cleaning base. When the shaver starts the cleaning cycle, quite often the contacts separate, and both cleaning and charging stop in the middle, leaving the shaver soaked in the cleaning fluid.

  • One user has its beard trimmer on the shaver simply fell off after about 5 months.

After delivery the first question naturally is how is my baby? The second question asked by workout – alcoholics often is “When can I begin exercising now that I’ve given birth?”


There are no clear cut answers to this question. You can ask your doctor about when he or she feels you are ready to begin exercising, and restarting your regime also will depend somewhat on how you feel. (This is another time when it is a good idea to listen to your body.) Unless your had a particularly complicated delivery, walking probably can begin fairly soon after giving birth. Taking as little as 15 to 30 minutes while maid watches the newborn so you can get some fresh air, plus a little time to yourself will probably be one of the best things you can do shortly after having a baby. When your infant is a little older taking him or her with your on your walks will be good for both of you. As long as the weather cooperate put the baby in a snuggle or a stroller and get out of the house.


• Begin by working out for about 30 minutes a session three days a week.
• Try for an intensity level of about 50 percent of your pre-pregnancy workouts.
• Gradually build in duration, intensity and frequency.


Go about making the following exercises a part of you daily postpartum recovery.


Kegels

Alternately contracting and releasing the muscles of the pelvic outlet and birth canal.

Purpose: Strengthening supports the contents of the abdomen, preventing your uterus or bladder from falling through these muscles, especially after you have had children.

Description: Sit upright on a chair with a hard, flat surface; make sure your weight is on your "sits bones," the two rocker-like bones on either side of your vagina, and you are not slumped down on your tailbone; squeeze the muscles between your sits bones and lift them up inside; hold for 10 seconds (keep breathing), then relax them slowly, noticing how they fall toward the chair surface. Start with five, and then work up to sets of 10 done two or three times each day.

Also do 10 of these two or three times a day.

Leg Lifts

In a standing position, lift one leg with knee bent up toward your body, and return your foot to the floor. To tone hip and thigh, raise your leg from your side up 12 to 14 inches, and return to the starting position. To tone the buttocks, lift one leg toward your back with the knee slightly bent, and slowly return your foot to the floor.


To wind up, Stretch your entire back and shoulders by standing with your back against a wall, hands at your sides and heels, hips, and shoulders pressed against the wall. Slowly raise your arms over your head, keeping your hands and elbows touching the wall.

This exercise will strengthen abdominal and back muscles while providing mobility to your spine. Lie on your back with knees bent, feet firmly on bed hip width apart. Raise buttocks slowly off the ground and lift your hips about 2-3 inches off the floor to form a straight line. Place your hands on your buttocks to feel the muscles tighten. You should feel the weight primarily in the legs and buttocks, not your lower back. If you feel in the lower back, then lower your hips slightly.

Diet Tips

• When planning meals, focus on whole grains, breads, pasta, vegetables, and dried beans, peas, or legumes.
• Eat 5 fruit or vegetable servings every day. Low in calories, but high in vitamins and minerals, fiber-rich fruits and vegetables fill you without fattening you.
• Eat breakfast (and other meals for that matter). By skipping meals, you'll only be extra hungry at the next meal and more likely to overeat. Besides, research shows that a person who eats breakfast burns more calories at that time and during the day.
• Broil foods rather than deep-fat or pan frying them.
• "Sauté" foods in a bit of broth instead of butter or oil.
• Top off salads with fat-free yogurt, cottage cheese, or low-fat dressings rather than traditional high-fat dressings. For a fat-free dressing mix rice vinegar or citrus juices with a little seasoning.
• Use reduced-fat or fat-free dairy products in place of the regular products. For example, drink reduced-fat or fat-free milk rather than whole milk, serve fat-free ice cream or lower fat frozen yogurt in place of premium ice cream, or substitute reduced-fat cream cheese, sour cream, or yogurt for their regular counterparts in cheesecakes, puddings, parfaits, and dessert toppings.

10 tips to Fitness Success!

How many times have you put your exercising, weight training and cardio on the back burner when you are following a strict nutrition plan? When life gets busy and you have a million things on your plate, this is the first thing that is usually forgotten! For many, an effective fitness regime is essential for losing weight the healthy way.

There are many excuses that come up such as, procrastination, lack of motivation, exhaustion and the biggest which is lack of time. Most people continually put off their training until tomorrow and of course we all know that tomorrow rarely comes - at least when it is time to indulge into your work out regimen.

Physical activity is a major piece of the weight-management puzzle! You will not achieve optimal results without this integral piece. It increases your lean muscle mass, speeds up weight management and fat loss, raises your metabolism, increases your energy level and keeps your heart healthy!

Here are 10 tips to guide you in staying on track with your fitness goals:

1. Believe in yourself now! Whatever you believe in you can and will achieve including your health and overall well-being goals! Use the “I can do it” attitude and you are on your way to success!

2. Plan ahead: It is essential to establish a work out regimen plan to keep you on track. Set mini milestones and goals to keep you focused. Commit to your fitness appointments like you would as any other and put them into your scheduler.

 
3. Use the S.M.A.R.T Principle: This allows you to evaluate your progress and change your program if need be. S – Specific = Is it clear and identifiable? / M - Measurable = Can results be determined? / A - Attainable = Is it Possible? / R - Realistic = Is it probable? / T - Time = When will it conclude?

 
4. Record your workouts, energy levels and accomplishments: This will help fine tune your program and is also therapeutic, inspirational and rewarding! Make sure to celebrate your victories! Buy yourself something nice or plan an event when you reach a goal!

5. Persistence is key: Being consistent in your work out routine is a major component of success. Do at least three cardio based activities for a minimum of a half hour as well as three resistance based activities for a minimum of a half hour per week. Ideally hour sessions will get you better results. If you have the luxury of time to commit to training then workout Mon-Fri different muscle groups each day and take your weekend off. Mon = Chest, Tues = Back, Wed = Legs, Thurs = Shoulders, Fri = Arms. Do abs to finish off each workout and rest on the weekends. Repeat. Add in your cardio right after your workout or early in the morning to burn the most calories.

6. Moderation is important: By gradually increasing your intensity, frequency and duration, you are less likely to injure yourself, get discouraged or quit.

7. Variety is the spice of life: Every workout changes something a little bit. Make it faster, slower or heavier. Do a variety of different cardio exercises each day and change your entire routine every month. Challenge your body by trying to do something it is not use to doing so it is forced to learn.

8. Find a training partner: Make sure you pick a partner whose goals and interests are similar to yours and who will inspire you to do your best. This will help make working out more fun, inspirational and safe as well as give you added accountability which we all need sometimes.

 
9. Use visualization: Picture yourself engaging in exercise in total detail. How will you feel during and after your workout? How will you look and feel when you hit your goals? Focus on each muscle group as you train it. Think positively and use imagery to see yourself as fit and healthy. Many of the world’s greatest athletes rely on this powerful tool to help them succeed at their chosen activity.

 
10. Rest and recovery: THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!!! Recovery time is when your muscles actually repair themselves and become bigger and stronger as well as increases your energy level. The time in between your exercise sessions is just as important as the exercise itself. Make sure to listen to your body and if you feel fatigued or exhausted, a day of rest may be more productive than intense exercise.

Supplement Guide Vitamin D

Build strong bones and improve your overall health
Where it comes from: Vitamin D is a group of fat-soluble prohormones that's introduced to your body through delicious dietary sources such as fish, eggs, fortified milk and not-so-delicious cod liver oil. The sun is also considered a source, as exposure to UV rays triggers the body to produce vitamin D naturally.

There are two important forms of vitamin D to note: ergocalciferol (vitamin D2) and cholecalciferol (vitamin D3). They're collectively known as Calcitriol and play an important role in the maintenance of several organ systems.

What it'll do for you: Vitamin D's main job is to increase the flow of calcium into the bloodstream by promoting the absorption of calcium and phosphates from food in the intestines and the reabsorption of calcium in the kidneys. That means vitamin D plays a key role in maintaining strong bones and protecting against osteoporosis. Experts and recent studies say Vitamin D plays a role in a few other positive effects as well:

Improves longevity
Studies of more than 57,000 subjects found that people taking supplements with at least at least 500 IUS of vitamin D were seven percent less likely to die than those who didn't take daily supplements. Researchers credited this to the protective effect of vitamin D against diseases—including cancer—and the vitamin's possible boost of blood vessel efficiency and the immune system.

Lowers the risk of heart disease
Researchers at the Intermountain Medical Center Heart Institute in Murray, Utah, studied 9,400 patients whose blood tests revealed low vitamin D levels during a routine trip to the doctor. The patients who raised their vitamin D levels by their next follow-up were 33 percent less likely to have a heart attack and 20 percent less likely to develop heart failure compared to their counterparts who did not increase vitamin D levels.

Prevents high blood pressure
It has been noted that blood pressure is often elevated during the winter—when the body is producing lower levels of vitamin D through sunlight. This suggests a possible direct correlation between higher levels of vitamin and low blood pressure levels.

May lower risk of certain cancers
European researchers have found that people with higher blood levels of vitamin D have a much lower risk of colon cancer. In one study, doctors examined the lifestyles of more than 520,000 patients between 1992 and 1998. The results, which were reported in January of this year, found that those with the highest blood levels of vitamin D had a nearly 40 percent decrease in colorectal cancer compared to those with the lowest levels.

Helps fight against influenza
After a four-month long study of Japanese schoolchildren, researchers found that taking vitamin D supplements during the winter and early spring help prevent seasonal flu and asthma attacks. There was no consideration of the effects of the supplements on adults but other studies have found that vitamin D dramatically stimulates natural killer cells and play a major role in protecting the lungs from infection.

Reduces muscle pain
Limited research has reported vitamin D deficiency in patients with low-back pain, and that supplementation may help to reduce the pain. Supplements may also help with chronic fatigue, headaches and other types of pain.

Suggested intake: The recommended intake of vitamin D for males up to 50 years old is 200 IU (or 5 micrograms) and increases 200 IUs every 20 additional years. "The average man seems to be deficient in many vitamins, especially vitamin D," says registered dietitian and American Dietetic Association spokesperson Jim White. Not surprisingly, he recommends a varied diet. White adds that the richest sources of vitamin D are egg yolks, some types of fish (salmon, tuna and mackerel), butter, liver and cheese. "But it is important to stay within you calorie needs," White adds.

It's been reported that 10 to 15 minutes of sunshine three times a week is enough to prevent deficiencies. However, many people living in sunny climates still do not make enough vitamin D and need more from their diet or supplementation. "Individuals with limited sun exposure need to include good sources of vitamin D in their diet or take a supplement," White adds.

Those who take a multivitamin should note that most pills do include vitamin D, usually in strengths from 50 IU to 1,000 IU. White says supplements are okay to take but that you should consider the IUs you're already getting from your diet and work with your doctor to find a supplement that supplies the right amount of IU's for your diet or lifestyle.

How important is vitamin D? Deficiencies have now been linked to types of cancers, heart disease, depression, weight gain, muscle pain and other maladies. "Lack of vitamin D may lead to a condition called rickets, especially in children, in which bones and teeth are weak," explains White. "In adults it may cause a condition called osteomalacia, in which calcium is lost from bones so that they become weak. This is very rare in men but has been seen in extreme cases."

Associated risks/scrutiny: Too much vitamin D may lead to vitamin D toxicity, which is a buildup of calcium in the blood, causing symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, poor appetite, constipation, weakness, confusion, heart rhythm abnormalities and kidney stones. The calcium build up could also lead to kidney stones and calcium deposits in soft tissues such as the heart and lungs, reducing their ability to function.

Most cases of excessive amounts of vitamin come, not from sunlight or from foods, but from overdoses of supplements.
