Bodybuilding
2007-11-08 07:22:00
Would you like to look like this one day?Most definitely not you say, but that's okay because chances are you never will. It took years of workouts that would kill normal people, buckets of steroids and genetics that put mortal men to shame to get Ronnie Coleman where he is today. He is an icon and inspiration for any aspiring bodybuilder nowadays.But bodybuilding isn't only for the very elite that win the Mr. Olympia every year. It's a sport that is easily accessible for anyone. It is for you, even if all you want is to grow your muscles a bit bigger and get a bit leaner. What is Bodybuilding?Very basically, bodybuilding is a sport in which the competitors spend hundreds of hours in a gym crafting their bodies into great big mounds of muscle. They then compete walking onto a stage and are judged on how they look. Of course, the actual competing part is a lot more complex than that with factors such as vascularity, muscular striations, symmetry and of course the all important mass c


Ronnie's Body building Diet Plan
2007-11-04 12:59:00
A Monotonous Diet:Besides the weight-training, Mr. Coleman each day completes 45 minutes to an hour of treadmill walking, his cardiovascular exercise. Then, 12 weeks before a major competition, he adds the other key elements to his regimen: a second round of cardio exercise and a diet that is far more about fueling than it is about dining.The purpose is to whittle the body down to the barest minimum of fat and water content. When he starts to diet, Mr. Coleman usually weighs about 320 pounds, with an estimated 8% of it body fat -- still less than half of what's normal for an adult male. If all goes as planned, he'll drop 60 pounds over the 12 weeks.The basic daily menu plan -- consumed in six meals -- features a huge quantity of lean meats (up to 5 pounds) and liquids (around 2 gallons); a moderate amount of starchy carbohydrates, such as rice and potatoes; and vitamin and mineral supplements to fill in the nutritional gaps.On;y the most disciplined athletes can endure the monotony

Cut down on saturated fat and sugar
2007-11-02 13:52:00
To stay healthy we need some fat in our diets. What is important is the kind of fat we are eating. There are two main types of fat:saturated fat - having too much can increase the amount of cholesterol in the blood, which increases the chance of developing heart diseaseunsaturated fat - having unsaturated fat instead of saturated fat lowers blood cholesterolTry to cut down on food that is high in saturated fat and have foods that are rich in unsaturated fat instead, such as vegetable oils (including sunflower, rapeseed and olive oil), oily fish, avocados, nuts and seeds.Top tips to cut the saturated fat:Eating too much saturated fat can increase blood cholesterol levels, which in turn is a risk factor for coronary heart disease.The healthier type of fat to choose is unsaturated fat (monounsaturated or polyunsaturated), which can actually improve cholesterol levels. But don’t forget all fat is high in calories, so if you are watching your weight, you should limit your overall fat inta


Starch Food is good for Health
2007-11-02 13:42:00
Starchy foods such as bread, cereals, rice, pasta and potatoes are a really important part of a healthy diet. Try to choose wholegrain varieties of starchy foods whenever you can. Starchy foods should make up about a third of the food we eat. They are a good source of energy and the main source of a range of nutrients in our diet. As well as starch, these foods contain fibre, calcium, iron and B vitamins.Most of us should eat more starchy foods - try to include at least one starchy food with each of your main meals. So you could start the day with a wholegrain breakfast cereal, have a sandwich for lunch, and potatoes, pasta or rice with your evening meal.Some people think starchy foods are fattening, but gram for gram they contain less than half the calories of fat. You just need to watch the fats you add when cooking and serving these foods, because this is what increases the calorie content.

A Simple Plan for Weight Loss
2007-11-02 13:29:00
The math is pretty simple. One pound of fat equals 3500 calories. Want to lose a pound a week? Then you need to consume 3500 calories less per week than you use. That's about 500 calories a day. By cutting out 500 calories a day from your normal daily diet, while keeping your activity level the same, you can lose approximately one pound a week. All right - that doesn't sound like much, especially if you're more than 25 pounds overweight. Study after study has shown, though, that those people who lose weight gradually - at a rate of 1-2 pounds per week -are far more likely to keep the weight off and maintain a normal weight for a lifetime.So how much exactly IS 500 calories? If you're going to reduce your daily intake by 500 calories, it helps to know what you need to cut out, right? Here's how easy it is to lose 500 calories a day:* Use milk instead of cream in your coffee. Savings? 50 calories per cup. * Skip the butter on your baked potato. Savings? 100 calories* Drink fruit-f

Only 13 steps to maintain a healthy diet
2007-09-26 13:48:00
The following basic guidelines are what you need to know to construct a healthy diet.1 Eat plenty of high-fiber foods—that is, fruits, vegetables, beans, and whole grains. These are the “good” carbohydrates—nutritious, filling, and relatively low in calories. They should supply the 20 to 30 grams of dietary fiber you need each day, which slows the absorption of carbohydrates, so there’s less effect on insulin and blood sugar, and provides other health benefits as well. Such foods also provide important vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals (plant chemicals essential to good health).2 Make sure to include green, orange, and yellow fruits and vegetables—such as broccoli, carrots, cantaloupe, and citrus fruits. The antioxidants and other nutrients in these foods may help protect against developing certain types of cancer and other diseases. Eat five or more servings a day.3 Limit your intake of sugary foods, refined-grain products such as white bread, and salty snack foods. S

Healthy and Nutritious diet
2007-09-26 13:35:00
Maintaining a healthy diet is the practice of making choices about what to eat with the intent of improving or maintaining good health. Usually this involves consuming necessary nutrients by eating the appropriate amounts from all of the food groups, including an adequate amount of water. Since human nutrition is complex a healthy diet may vary widely subject to an individual's genetic makeup, environment, and health. For around 20% of the planet's population, lack of food and malnutrition are the main impediments to healthy eating; people in developed countries are however more concerned about obesity.


Milk (casein) Protein
2007-11-22 01:05:00
Casein is the predominant protein in milk. For example protein in cheese and cottage cheese is casein . Casein is the slow digestive protein in the family of proteins that keeps you full longer. Casein also has a naturally protein high glutamine content, higher than whey, egg or soy. It is one of the best protein in building muscles. Casein is also very low in lactose.While whey protein may increase protein synthesis to a very high degree, higher than casein, scientists are now recognizing that micellar casein is much more important in preventing muscle breakdown. In fact, additional research is demonstrating that the slow and sustained release of amino acids from micellar casein can cause a 'timed release' trickle of amino acids into the bloodstream which can last for as many as 7 full hours after ingestion.Micellar casein is the natural, undenatured form of casein found in milk. It is separated from milk by means of ultrafiltration, without the use of chemicals, which increases the


Whey Protein
2007-11-20 06:28:00
Whey protein has been described as “nature’s perfect protein”. One of the most heavily researched nutritional supplements, whey protein has been proven to provide numerous health and fitness benefits in dozens of scientific studies.Whey Protein s are the rich source of protein. When fresh milk is changed into cheese, then whey protein is split out. Whey protein is useful in offering the human body with the essentials building blocks for producing amino acids that are utilized to build muscle tissue.Why are whey proteins scoring more as compared to other sources? The answer is that it is contained the right combination of all amino acid to make the concentration. Whey proteins are very beneficial for the immune system of body by playing an important role like an antioxidant. Why whey protein? Whey protein is very beneficial for everyone, use of whey protein, makes the body healthy. Although, bodybuilders and athletes are in require of whey proteins. Because of they do workout for a


Muscle Builder
2007-11-19 08:26:00
Protein is known to be a best muscle builder:Protein is made of amino acids. Amino acids are the basic building blocks of muscle. Therefore, protein is an essential ingredient for muscle building. You can't build muscle without it! You will want to take in about 1-2 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight throughout the day. So an average person who weighs 150 lbs would want to consume between 150 and 300 grams of protein in a day. Protein shakes and bars are convenient and provide high quality protein.There are several forms of protein including: Whey, Soy, Egg, and Casein. So which kind is best? Well that depends on how and when you want to use them.Whey - Basically, whey protein is awesome for post-workout supplementation because that's the time when your body needs protein the most, and whey is digested very quickly (about 30 minutes).Casein - Casein, on the other hand, is digested very slowly (over 2 - 7 hours). This means it's great to use a protein supplement with casein bef

Soy Protein
2007-11-25 09:45:00
Vegetarians and health enthusiasts have known for years that foods rich in soy protein offer a good alternative to meat, poultry, and other animal-based products. As consumers have pursued healthier lifestyles in recent years, consumption of soy foods has risen steadily, bolstered by scientific studies showing health benefits from these products. Last October, the Food and Drug Administration gave food manufacturers permission to put labels on products high in soy protein indicating that these foods may help lower heart disease risk. Scientists agree that foods rich in soy protein can have considerable value to heart health, a fact backed by dozens of controlled clinical studies. A yearlong review of the available human studies in 1999 prompted FDA to allow a health claim on food labels stating that a daily diet containing 25 grams of soy protein, also low in saturated fat and cholester


Egg Protein
2007-11-25 08:52:00
A large egg provides 6 grams of protein.Protein content of egg white=3.6g, protein content of egg yolk=2.7g.Because of their high protein content, eggs are included inthe meat, fish, poultry, nuts and beans group of the US Food Guidance Systems. Eggs have the highest quality protein in the food supply with the amino acid pattern almost matching the human requirement for essential amino acids (FAO protein value=100).Digestibility of egg protein is 97%. This means that 97% of the egg protein is absorbed as amino acids, which are availablefor new protein synthesis and replacement of lost protein.Cooked egg protein is more digestible than raw egg protein (cooked egg protein digestibility=90.9%+/-0.8, raw egg protein digestibility=51.3+/-9.8) The biological value of egg protein is 94%.
