Cupcakes Is Energy Giving Food Body Building Food Or Protective

Cupcakes Is Energy Giving Food Body Building Food Or Protective   When eating food, there are two main areas to look out for to increase the effectiveness of your workout.  In this article I will explain in detail what you need to consider before training and how important it is to prepare a meal before training,  The benefits of different foods.  as well as the benefits of different foods.       The total carbohydrate content of a food includes both starch and complex carbohydrates, which provide the body with energy.  Whether carbohydrates in the form of nuts, seeds, pulses, fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts or cereals: carbohydrates primarily serve to supply the body with energy.       The body picks up proteins from the diet, skeletal muscles and organs when available,  and converts proteins and amino acids into glucose (gluconeogenesis) to maintain normal blood sugar levels.  Some foods increase glucose levels...

The 4 Ways To Stop Life Killing You…Explained

The 4 ways to stop life killing you explained 




The “4 Ways To Stop Life Killing You” do,however,begin with Cardiovascular fitness, which for me points to Circuit Training. 

The ability to bring the major muscle groups into play and raise the Heart Rate over a relatively short period makes the best use of the time available to exercise.

The range of Circuits available makes it more efficient than simply relying on running,cycling,walking when we look at general fitness.

Research has also shown that the body continues to burn calories for a longer period than the longer slower forms of exercise…I will be talking about the forms of cardiovascular work I use with my clients later..


“All exercise is movement and stillness.It’s just the amount of movement and the periods of stillness that change” that great comment came from an instructor on one of the workshops I attended a few years ago. 

At the age of 48 my body was wrecked from contact sports and I needed another form of exercise to keep my health intact. 

Running is now out for me because of knee trouble and climbing stairs a problem but through my 12 year involvement with Tai Chi I am now able to continue my work as a Personal Trainer.

The benefits of  Tai Chi exercise 

programme depend upon the commitment you give to the practise.The bare minimum will be the ability to complete patterns of movements..controlled steps forward,

backward and to the side:balanced turning to face another direction:learned co-ordination of hand/leg movements:improved sense of achievement as the set of movements are learned.

Tai Chi has many forms and many teachers, each teacher has their own interpretation of the particular set of movements in the form and their own way of teaching.

You simply need to visit the class and go with an open mind,prepared to have a go.The myth of Tai Chi is that it is a form of exercise for the elderly.

Balance Health and Fitness incorporates qigong exercises to strengthen the structure of the body through posture and breathing and Makka Ho exercises which I have used over the last twelve years.

Makka Ho exercises have taken my flexibility to a whole new level,a level which can benefit all from rehabilitation from injury to athletic fitness programmes ..I will be writing more on Tai Chi later..

Shiatsu Therapy..is a therapy which at it’s basic form allows the body to relax to a point where stretching and pressure can be delivered to clients who have joint problems. 

Zen Shiatsu delivered correctly however,can reach a level of psychological benefits for clients suffering from trauma which may even date back to infancy or earlier.

In my mind one of the main benefits of shiatsu is that it must,to my mind, be delivered with the client fully clothed. 

It can also be delivered lying on a futon on the floor:lying on a couch, sitting on the floor or in a chair.

It is,therefore,accessible to most of the general public.

Shiatsu definitely lends itself to office productivity, 

pressure can be lifted from employees suffering stress through high workload, headaches and joint pain allowing them to stay at the workplace and even increase their well-being.

Employers who provide time for shiatsu therapy have given testimonials pointing to the way the staff have repaid them with loyalty. 

Plumbers and builders have given me testimonials about improved posture and mobility and decreased insomnia: Runners, walkers and even ice hockey professionals have used me to rehabilitate them after injury or training…more information on shiatsu will follow.

Eating and supplements..a mine field for any practitioner. What I don’t know about nutrition I have more qualified practitioners I can call on, 

people who have spent their lives developing research into the best foods for each specific group of people. 

Personally I have been drawn towards Eating Plans developed by Dax Moy  ” The Elimination Diet”  and the products of Natures Sunshine Products and Forever Living Products.

What I haven’t been drawn to are the dietitians who constantly tell the public that “a little bit of what you like is ok” No it isn’t, 

not if losing weight healthily is your aim; not if exercising to your maximum is your goal; not if “what you fancy” damages your organs and plays with your Psyche.

Eating plans change with your goals and the results you’ve reached at any particular time, but the basics of eating unprocessed foods remain the same.

For me, a story King Harold goes some way in the direction of my thoughts.In 1066 England was attacked by Vikings in Yorkshire, 

Harold marched his troops from Wessex and defeated the invaders. 

He then learned that William had attacked from the south. Harold and the troops marched 240 miles in 13 days and although exhausted held the Normans at bay until they broke ranks and were defeated at Hastings.

To my mind “They weren’t eating CRAP” they were fed from natural sources grown on the land they were passing through. Eating plans should be based on this, but I have benefited from the products of NSP and FLP in the past.

How to boost your metabolism

So lets be honest with everyone. There isn’t really some fancy way to boost your metabolism. GASP! Yes I know that sounds horrible that I said that. Metabolism boosting is kind of a catchall word for several things.  For example the only way to ACTUALLY boost your metabolism is to gain more muscle or to alter your thyroid or hormones like leptin sensitivity,  which is never a good idea. I know weight lifters who have gotten into trouble by taking thyroid meds to cut more. how can you really boost your metabolism? You can hack your body and let you think that you’ve gotten some good ol’metabolic changes. For example regulate your sugar intake, one of the biggest problems with our bodies is that we get too much food and WAY too much sugar.  When your body gets sugar it’s told to store it in fat if it goes beyond the regular blood sugar levels. Then you feel crappy because your insulin has taken all of the sugar and stored it into fat. YIKES. So watch your sugar and next, ea...
