0 Are You Stress Eater?

You know that feeling when you suddenly want -no, you need - a chocolate-frosted doughnut, and you’re not even hungry? While you’re probably not conscious of it, your craving for a decadent dessert or heavy meal is likely courtesy of that meeting with your boss tomorrow, or the stack of bills waiting for you at home. In short, the urge to eat - especially junk - is the result of stress.

 “As soon as you feel stressed, the hormone cortisol is released, which causes a surge of hunger for sugary and fatty foods,” says Susan Albers, PsyD, author of Eating Mindfully (New Harbinger, 2012). “We’ve evolved to have this response to drive us to gather foods in case there is a threat to our survival.” Of course, stress isn’t the only culprit, says Albers. Other emotions - everything from fear, to joy, to boredom - can also lead to cravings.

 “We learn through associations, so eating becomes part of our memories,” says Michelle May, MD, author of Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat (Am I Hungry? Publishing, 2011). “So perhaps you eat when you feel overwhelmed because you want to remember a time when things were simpler.” But there’s good news: even if you admit food is your go-to stress reliever, it’s possible to break the cycle, Albers says. “When you’ve found other ways to cope, eating to soothe your emotions doesn’t feel good anymore.”

0 CEREAL SMACK DOWN / Ask Dr.

Ask Dr. Susan( Susan Kleiner, PhD, RD, FACN, CNS, FISSN, is one of the foremost nutrition authorities on eating to improve strength and gym performance. Visit her at DRSKLEINER.COM):

“Im sick of oatmeal.Are there any boxed cereals that are healthy? What should I look for?” - MELISSA,

DEAR MELISSA, 

When it comes to purchasing processed foods like boxed cereal, use basic principles as guides. First and foremost, check the amount of added sugar. This isn't hard to figure out with packaged cereals, since very little of the sugars are natural. Starch is one of the only natural carbohydrates in cereals, and occasionally fruit may account for a gram or two per serving, but no more.

The rest of the sugar has been added by the 5 manufacturer. Go for cereals with zero to five grams of sugar per serving. Zero indicates there has been no sugar added, while five grams would equal to a maximum of one teaspoon of added sugar per serving.

 Remember: if there is no added sugar, there will rarely be any other unwanted processed ingredients. Common brands of cereals that meet these guidelines are readily available on store shelves. Try plain shredded wheat, puffed cereals and some Kashi brand cereals.

0 CHANGE YOUR LIFE!

Want better willpower, less stress and more confidence? Match your workout
to your goals for a real life boost

So, you've vowed that 2013 is going to be the best year ever, no excuses. You've got self-help books at the ready and a long list of resolutions aimed at getting that promotion, boosting your self-esteem and strengthening your willpower. But if you really want to make sure that your life takes a turn for the better this year, just head to the gym.

Yes, working out makes you fitter and stronger but it can also teach you some valuable life skills - like determination and dealing with stress - which you can take with you when you leave the gym. Here are the workouts you need fora mind that's as strong as your body.

DO YOGA  TO BEAT STRESS

Yoga has long been championed as an effective way to relax, and it's up there with meditation for its ability to soothe stress. You may think it's down to the gentle, low-fi pace, but it's actually the breathing exercises that reel in your stress levels and leave you calm.

'Yoga encourages you to be mindful of your breath,' explains London-based yoga teacher Naomi Costantino (naomicostantino.com). 'It's this focus on the breath that you can takeoff the mat and use in your daily life.'

It's the controlled breathing that yoga teaches that makes a difference - it's a world away from the kind you do automatically. 'Most of us are running around in fight or flight mode,' Naomi says. 'The breath is shallow, our blood is pumping and we're strung out. A richer,

deeper breath allows your mind to settle and operate from a place where you can fully arrive and be present in life.'

Practise breathing deeply in yoga and when the going gets tough - at work, with family, or even on the bus - you'll have an instant calming tool to draw on.

LIFT WEIGHTS FOR WILLPOWER



We might make fun of the big, burly men in the free weights area who grunt and groan with every rep, but you know what? They've got the right idea! They're making all that noise because they're pushing their bodies to overcome mental restraints attached to lifting weights that are dauntingly heavy. The mind sparks a reaction in the nervous system to get the body to perform - so in orderto push your body, you have to push your mind, too - this is known as the mind-to-muscle connection.

'There's no doubt that weight training improves mental toughness,' says personal trainer Dave Fletcher (theodysseyway.co.uk). 'Weight training is all about the ability to maintain focus and determination, even when it gets difficult or you're faced with a load you didn't previously think you could lift. Structured routines also allow you to lift more overtime, as your nervous system and muscular systems adapt to the increased load.'

So, if you want to build your willpower and achieve goals you never thought possible, head to the weights area and start grunting! What are you waiting for?


DO ZUMBA  TO GET OVER A BREAK-UP

A break-up can leave you feeling pretty rubbish, and often, the antidote is a big night out on the tiles. But if you'd rather skip the inevitable hangover with a side of break-up blues, sign up to a Zumba class.

The high-energy dance class is a party in itself, says Zumba education specialist Caroline Parsons. 'In a Zumba class you can work hard and smile and laugh at the same time because you're enjoying yourself so much,' she explains. 'It'll not only make you feel amazing as the feel-good endorphins flood your body, but it can take your mind off whatever's getting you down as you have to concentrate a little on the moves.

Once you're familiar with the routine, you start to release your inhibitions.'

So instead of wallowing at home with a bucket of ice cream, head to the gym. After a few classes you'll feel so great about your new moves - and your super-hot bod - you'll be ready to get back on the dating scene.
No tragic drunken dancing required.

TRY MARTIAL ARTS TO BOOST CONFIDENCE

Whether it's giving presentations to a tough crowd or walking home on your own at night that turns your stomach into a swarm of butterflies, boosting your confidence is the answer. Martial arts such as kickboxing, karate and judo are praised for providing people with the tools to build confidence, and not just because they teach you some super-cool, kick-ass fighting skills.

'Not only do martial arts help women to feel more confident by teaching them self-defence, but lots of the women I train often say that the achievement they feel after each class - getting through some really gruelling

sessions - is more overwhelming than any other sport,' explains muay Thai instructor Michael Wakeling (scorpionsthaiboxing.co.uk). 'This has a flow-on effect, giving you the confidence to have a go and achieve more at both the gym and the office.' Time to get your fight on!

RUN FOR DETERMINATION

Running is probably one of the easiest ways to get out there and exercise - and it's the perfect way to test your perseverance, too. Whether you're training for a 5K or a marathon, pushing your body to go the extra mile when you're struggling takes bags of determination.

'For the most part, running is a real pleasure and the feeling you get is reward enough,'says running coach Nina Anderson (ninaanderson.com). 'But, there will


‘IN ORDER TO PUSH YOUR BODY, YOU HAVE TO PUSH YOUR MIND - THIS IS KNOWN AS THE MIND-TO-MUSCLE CONNECTION’

always be times when the going gets tougher than usual, and this is when perseverance is key. It's important not to lose sight of the reasons you're pushing your body into going that extra mile - both literally and figuratively!'

Of course, the habit of pushing through the hard yards can come in handy when life deals you a crappy hand
-it's times like these that you need to remember your ultimate goals, dig deep and keep pushing on.

0 Morning glory

Nothing says winter mornings quite like burying yourself under the covers and hitting the snooze button. But a recent U.K. study found that people who get out of bed by about 7 a.m. tend

to be happier, slimmer and more conscientious than their later-waking peers. To ensure that you reap all the rewards that early rising can afford, we asked Los Angeles-based healthy living coach Kathy Kaehler to recommend a morning fitness routine. "These moves help to improve your circulation and boost your energy levels—so you’ll feel alert and grounded all day long," says Kaehler. Practice them regularly and you’ll also notice increased flexibility and strength—and fewer aches and pains. Plus, you can do all four moves in the comfort of your own bedroom. Now that's reason enough to get up and at ’em.»

Note: If you don’t have a firm mattress on your bed, do the first two moves on a mat or blanket on the floor.

CAT/DOG STRETCH

1. Cat/dog stretch

Get on your hands and knees on top of your bed—your head should be in line with your neck, and your back should be in a neutral position (neither sagging nor arching). Make sure your wrists are directly under your shoulders, fingers pointing forward, and your knees are directly under your hips [a]. Inhale and slightly arch your back, letting your belly relax toward the mattress while pulling your shoulders back and lifting your taiibone toward the ceiling. Gaze forward, like a playful puppy [b]. Exhale and round your back toward the ceiling while tucking your chin and pointing the crown of your head toward the mattress, like a stretching cat [c]. Repeat entire sequence 10 times.

Body benefit: warms and stretches your back and abdominal muscles.

    2.BUTTERFLY CIRCLE

Lie on your left side and bend your knees so your legs form 90-degree angles with your torso. Extend your arms in front of you until they’re perpendicular to your torso [a]. Take a deep breath, then exhale and contract your abdominal muscles. Inhale, then exhale and keep your arms straight and your legs bent as you roll onto your back and point your arms and knees toward the ceiling [b]. Without pausing, continue to roll over to your right side and bring your arms and legs down to the mattress [c]. Repeat in opposite direction until you’ve done 10 repetitions on each side.

Body benefit: stretches and strenghtens your back, abdominals, shoulders and neck.

   3.BED DIP

Sit on the edge of your bed with your feet flat on the floor and hip-width apart. (Use a sturdy chair if you can’t reach the floor from your bed.) Rest your palms flat on the bed next to your thighs, fingertips facing forward [a]. Supporting yourself on your hands, walk your feet forward 1 to 2 feet and slide your hips off the mattress [b]. Bend your elbows and lower your body, knees bent to 90 degrees, until your arms form 90-degree angles [c]. Hold for 1 second, then rise back to "b” position. Perform 2 sets of 10 repetitions. Body benefit: strengthens your shoulders, triceps and abdominal core muscles.

   4.BEDROOM WALL SIT

Stand with your back against a wall and walk your legs out so they’re about 2 feet from the wall, feet hip-width apart [a]. Keeping your back against the wall, bend your knees and slide down until your thighs are nearly parallel to the floor, making sure your knees don’t extend past your toes [b]. Hold for 10 seconds, then press your feet into the floor and slide back up to the starting position. Repeat 2 more times.

Body benefit: strengthens your thighs, butt, lower back and abdominal muscles. II

0 Try This Smart Advice For Building More Muscle

Enlarging muscle might be something that you aren't conversant with, or you could already be an expert. No matter what your level of familiarity with muscle building, it is generally feasible to acquire further information and better systems for getting the body you want to see in the mirror. Continue reading for effective tips on building up muscle.

As you are lifting weights, do your movements slowly. Moving too quickly uses the body's momentum instead of letting the muscles do the work. In a similar way, don't swing the weights, because this keeps the isolated muscle from doing the work. This is the reason why going slow appears harder. The isolated muscle is doing its work!

Ready your body for your weight lifting. You have got to consume about 20 grams of protein 30 mins before your session. This will increase the muscle building that happens as you lift. This is as simple as drinking 2 tumblers of cold milk before you weight train, as well as after.

As you are trying to add muscle-mass, the diet plan that you follow should be one that will support muscular growth and supply the correct nutrient elements the muscles need to grow. Just remember to keep a variety to your diet as you shouldn't become bored by it, as this may lead to making unhealthier selections. Train 2 to three times each week for optimum muscular increase. Exercising your muscles at least 3 times each week supplies enough exercise to stimulate the muscles to grow.

Newbies should commence with just two sessions, a week, while experienced trainers may have to work out more than that. If you have time, consider breaking up work-outs into 2 different sessions each day . For example you could train your chest in the morning, and then once evening strikes, you can train your back. Resting your body between lets your energy stores recover better than training both muscles in the same workout.

If you are making an attempt to learn how to get ripped, use free weights instead of machines. With machines, your body is pushed into fixed patterns of body movements which could cause injuries. With free weights, you copy natural body motions. Free weights also push your body to balance and control the weight, which builds more muscle than machines that mechanically balance the weight for you. Patience is the key. You are not going to develop rock-hard muscles overnight.

You are going to need to work steady and long to get the results that you hope for. Do not let yourself become deterred if you're not seeing the results which you were in hope of. Keep your ambitions realistic. Try consuming the bulk of your calories early during the day. Doing this may raise your metabolism during the day. In addition, it helps make certain that extra calories are not being laid down as fat.

Steadily lessen the amount of calories which you consume later on in the daytime when you're not using as much energy. Try and plan your meals ahead in the day starting from breakfast, lunch and dinner. Not only will this help you in making a food intake plan, but it'll prevent you from eating poorly during the daytime. Disposing of poor meal selections will help you to build the muscle that is required. If you're working to maximise muscular growth, don't overlook the necessity of rest and sleep. Getting enough sleep will keep you stay energized, ward of weight gain, augment your mental state, and boost your body's recovery rate. Absence of sleep can seriously reduce muscled expansion and increase muscle breakdown.

Use the tips in this post to boost your muscle building efforts. It is commonly feasible to learn more about the right ways to create muscle, but the info here is effective, guarenteed. Apply the guidelines to your day to day life, and you'll soon notice that your muscle building efforts are easier.

0 General Allergy Conditions And Allergy Treatment PA Options

Many people who suffer from allergy related health issues each year reach a point where they feel they ought to investigate allergy treatment PA medical options to ease or cure their symptoms. These allergies are often the result of their immune system attacking a foreign substance.

For some individuals, however, their immune system identifies harmless allergens as a threat and attacks them, causing uncomfortable or serious symptoms like rashes, itchy eyes and skin, restricted airways, irritated bowels, among others. Below are some of the most common auto immune responses and symptoms:

Hay fever, or allergic rhinitis, is one of the most common allergies that people suffer from, and can cause headaches, sneezing, congestion, a runny nose, itchy nose and eyes. Allergic rhinitis is not caused by a virus, unlike a cold, but rather by allergens like dust mites, pet dander, and pollen.

Eczema, which is also known as atopic dermatitis, is an allergic reaction that causes a person's skin to break out in itchy red rashes behind their knees, elbows, arms, and legs. The cause of atopic dermatitis is unknown, but it may result from a combination of inherited tendencies toward sensitive skin and malfunction in the body's immune system. This condition tends to flare up and then subside, and is sometimes accompanied by other auto immune conditions like asthma and hay fever.

A large proportion of children and adults are affected by food allergies, which are immune system responses that can happen even if they consume only a small amount of the offending food. The symptoms can include digestive issues, hives, swollen airways, and in some extreme cases result in anaphylaxis.

Insect bite allergies are triggered by an overly strong immune reaction to insect venom. This reaction can cause a person's skin to swell where they were bit, coughing fits, hives, asthma attacks, chest tightening, itching, and in some extreme cases, anaphylaxis.

Interestingly, an individual can have suddenly had a reaction to a drug that has not produced a reaction in the past. An allergic drug reaction has similar symptoms as an adverse drug reaction, but from different causes, because an adverse drug reaction is not triggered by an immune response.

Although allergies cannot be completely cured, there are number of allergy and sinusitis treatment pa options that can help relieve allergy symptoms. These include preventing exposure to allergens, taking allergy drops or shots, and a number of natural and surgical procedures.

0 30 Minutes Of Daily Exercise As Good As 60 For Weight Loss

A new study from the University of Copenhagen in Denmark found that sedentary, slightly overweight healthy young men who worked up a sweat exercising 30 minutes daily for three months lost a similar amount of weight and body fat as those who did 60 minutes of daily exercise.

The researchers describe the findings of their randomized controlled trial in a study reported online recently in the American Journal of Physiology.

The researchers suggest one reason for the surprising result is that the exercise felt "doable" for the participants in the 30 minutes a day group, who even felt afterwards that they could have done more. Whereas in the 60 minutes a day group, they probably compensated by eating more, therefore losing less weight than expected.

This second point would fit in with the results of previous research that the researchers point to in their background information. This suggests that the reason exercise often produces a disappointing amount of weight loss is because a diet-induced negative energy balance (where calories consumed aren't enough to cover daily energy needs) often triggers "compensatory mechanisms", such as lower metabolic rate and increased appetite.

Perhaps 60 minutes of exercise results in more overcompensation than 30 minutes.

On average, the men who exercised 30 minutes a day lost 3.6 kg in three months, and those who exercised 60 minutes a day lost 2.7 kg. The reduction in body fat was about 4 kg for both groups.

The result is significant because 40% of Danish men are thought to be moderately overweight. Overcoming barriers to exercise in a group that does none at all, should be easier if the aim is to attain 30 minutes a day than 60 minutes a day.

The study is part of an interdisciplinary trial called FINE, a a Danish acronym for Physical Activity for a Long Healthy Life, which has generated strong data in a group of 60 or so participants.

In FINE, the participants were followed by health scientists who focused on energy balance, insulin resistance and hormones in the blood.

Ethnologists were also part of the FINE research team: they were interested in exploring the barriers to exercise and in helping the participants overcome entrenched cultural habits.

For the study, the researchers randomly assigned each of 62 healthy, sedentary, moderately overweight young men to one of three groups: a high exercise group (burning about 600 kcal per day with about 60 minutes of aerobic exercise), a moderate exercise group (300 kcal per day, 30 minutes exercise), and a control group that continued to be sedentary.

They monitored the men as they followed their program for 13 weeks.

The participants trained every day through the study period. The training sessions were planned to produce a light sweat, but the participants were also instructed to increase the intensity three times a week.

The results showed that body weight went down by 2.7 kg in the high exercise group, and 3.6 kg in the moderate exercise group. Fat mass went down by 4.0 kg and 3.8 kg respectively.

But what was very surprising was although the energy burned during exercise in the high exercise group was double that of the moderate exercise group, they had roughly the same accumulated energy balance.

Energy balance is the balance of calories consumed through eating and drinking compared to calories burned through physical activity. 

In this study, the researchers calculated it from changes in body composition.

The results showed that the accumulated energy balance was 83% more negative than expected in the moderate exercise group (ie better than expected), and 20% less negative than expected in the high exercise group (ie worse than expected).

"No statistically significant changes were found in energy intake or non-exercise physical activity that could explain the different compensatory responses associated with 30 vs. 60 min of daily aerobic exercise," write the researchers, who conclude:

"... a similar body fat loss was obtained regardless of exercise dose. A moderate dose of exercise induced a markedly greater than expected negative energy balance, while a higher dose induced a small but quantifiable degree of compensation."

First author Mads Rosenkilde, a PhD student in the Department of Biomedical Sciences, told the press:

"Participants exercising 30 minutes per day burned more calories than they should relative to the training program we set for them. In fact we can see that exercising for a whole hour instead of a half does not provide any additional loss in either body weight or fat."

"The men who exercised the most lost too little relative to the energy they burned by running, biking or rowing. 30 minutes of concentrated exercise give equally good results on the scale," he added.

Rosenkilde said they were surprised by the results, and the team now wants to study the effect of other forms of exercise.

He would like to explore ways of building exercise into daily life, for instance as a form of transport:

"Training is fantastic for your physical and mental health. The problem is that it takes time. If we can get people to exercise along the way - to work, for example - we will have won half the battle," said Rosenkilde.
