Build Your Muscles From Early

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 14:00:00 +0000

The human body contains more than 630 muscles. Approximately 35-45% of body mass is muscle tissue. Muscles are long- lasting, self-healing and grow stronger with use. There are three unique kinds of muscle:

Cardiac muscle, which is found only in your heart. It contracts involuntarily; it is automatically controlled by the nervous system.
Smooth muscle is found in blood vessels, the digestive system, bladder, airways, and the uterus in a female. It also contracts involuntarily.
Skeletal muscle is the kind we can see and feel. They attach to the skeleton and come in pairs; one muscle to move in one direction and another to move back the other way. Skeletal muscles contract voluntarily, you have to think about contracting them and the nervous system tells them to respond.

The combination of muscles and bones make up the musculoskeletal system. Together, the skeletal muscles work with bones to give the body its power and strength.

In most cases, skeletal muscle is attached to one end of a bone, stretches across a joint, and then attaches again to another bone. Tendons serve as connector pieces between muscle and bone; when a muscle is contracted, the tendon and bone move along with it.

Skeletal muscles come in a variety of sizes and shapes depending on their job. The muscles in your back, near the spine, are some of the biggest and most powerful. These muscles have the difficult job of keeping the body upright and providing the power to lift and push.

Your face also has plenty of muscles, over 30 as a matter of fact. Facial muscles don’t all attach directly to bone like those in the rest of the body. Many of them attach under the skin, which allows for more control. Contracting your facial muscles ever so slightly can create different looks like happiness, sadness, surprise, and frowning. Eye muscles are the busiest muscles in the body, moving more than 100,000 times a day!

The tongue is a muscle that’s attached only at one end. The tongue is made of a group of muscles that work together, allowing you to talk and help you chew food. It takes 72 different muscles interacting with one another to produce human speech.

The largest muscle in the body is in the buttocks and is called the gluteus maximus.

There are many problems which can affect muscles, causing pain and/or weakness. Some of the most common and least severe muscle disorders include:

Sprain: A stretched or torn ligament. Wrist and ankle sprains are common and can be caused by falling or twisting.
Strain: A stretched or torn muscle or tendon. Strains can happen suddenly or develop over time. Hamstring and back muscle strains are most common and are usually caused by twisting or pulling of the tissues. Many people suffer strains from playing sports.
Muscle cramps: Sudden, involuntary contractions or spasms in the muscle, also called charley horse. Muscle cramps often occur after exercise or at night and can be caused by dehydration, strain or overuse of a muscle, lack of minerals in your diet, or insufficient blood supply to your muscles.
Tendinitis: Inflammation of a tendon, usually occurring in the elbows, knees, shoulders, hips, heels or wrists. Certain diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis can cause tendinitis, but it is most commonly caused by injuries and overuse.

There are also many more serious muscle disorders such as cancers, diseases of the nerves that affect the muscles, and genetic diseases.

Use your muscles and strengthen them, you will need them to carry out everyday tasks and prevent you from falling and breaking bones as you grow older.

About Diabetes Disease

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 14:00:00 +0000

Diabetic disease is a growing concern around the world, and early detection and diagnosis of these pathologies are critical in not only raising awareness among those at risk for disease, but also for developing treatments to help prevent the onset and progression of disease. Some times if this disease is severe enough and it can require aggressive intervention to treat the complications that it can bring about.

Diabetes mellitus is currently developing into one of the main threats of human health with an explosive increase in the number of people diagnosed with diabetes worldwide. Approximately 29 million Americans age 20 or older have diabetes. But many, almost one-third, don't know they have the disease and are at risk for vision loss, kidney failure, and increased risk of cardiovascular disease.

This degenerative disease can damage many of the body systems leading to such serious medical complications as heart disease (heart attack, stroke) blindness (due to retinopathy ) kidney damage, impotence in men, amputations from gangrene and/or from damage to nerves (neuropathy). In fact diabetics spend more time in the hospital for foot complications than for all other aspects of their disease combined. Foot gangrene is typically caused by a combination of limb ischemia (tissue death) as the result of arterial occlusive disease, most commonly atherosclerosis, injury and poor healing, usually combined with a superimposed infection.

Strong diabetic control, namely, stable blood sugars and tight low insulin, is most important in avoiding the terrible complications and end-stage processes of diabetes such as coronary heart disease, massive obesity, or renal disease requiring dialysis. By self monitoring blood sugar levels and by using multiple insulin injections or using an insulin pump, you can slow the development of diabetic retinopathy and other complications of diabetes.

The diabetic's disease is the failure of the body to produce sufficient insulin; the disease is not the individual's failure to stay on a diabetic diet. Although for diabetes (and all of us) the goal is still excellent glucose control, much more important is strict insulin control. With insulin levels, the lower the better. A normal fasting insulin level is less than 10 mIU/ml.

Diabetic disease is a condition that cannot be cured but with proper diet, exercise, and medical management its symptoms and complications can be controlled, allowing those who suffer its affects to live long and healthy lives.

For example, "smoking can cause skin damage" or "smoking can cause cancer of the mouth" and so forth. But the warnings in cigarette packs and in cigarette advertising at the end of various media in Asia is not playing games, namely "Smoking Can Cause Cancer, Heart Attack, Impotence, Pregnancy and Fetal Disorders". For the men, the risk of erectile dysfunction or impotence due to smoking is actually real.

Risk of Erectile Dysfunction

In fact, some research says that men have a habit of smoking a pack of cigarettes / day at risk 40% higher than suffer erectile dysfunction than men who did not smoke. Smoking and nicotine release vasoconstrictors (barrier vessels) which can inhibit the flow of blood vessels in the penis.

Tobacco Control Journal published a recent study in Australia 8000 men aged 16 to 59 years who smoked a pack of cigarettes / day at risk 24% higher erectile disorder. And the more they smoke the percentage of risk also increases. The men who smoked more than 20 cigarettes / day increased the risk of erectile dysfunction by 39%.

Another study published by the American Journal of Epidemiology showed that men are 40-year-old smokers often experience erectile problems than the older men but not smoking. Even the risk to double by the male 40-year-old smokers compared to the 50-year-old man who did not smoke.

Smoking causes constriction of blood vessels that is the main cause of erectile dysfunction in addition to obesity, excessive alcohol consumption and drug abuse.

Increased Cholesterol Evil

Smoking can cause disturbances of fat metabolism. In people who smoke, found levels of HDL cholesterol or good cholesterol is low. That means, the formation of HDL cholesterol, in charge of carrying fat from the liver tissue to be disrupted. The first condition is very unhealthy. While the opposite, in people who smoke in LDL cholesterol levels or high bad cholesterol. This means that instead of fat from the liver tissue was taken back to the body. The second condition is also exacerbate health.

Essentially, fat transport to the liver to be interrupted. Although often found low HDL cholesterol levels in a smoker, there are no specific studies that could explain how the mechanism of HDL cholesterol levels decreased by smoking.

Risk of Deadly Diseases Other

Other diseases are closely related to smoking are heart disease, blood vessels, cancer, lung, or gastrointestinal ulcers. In Indonesia, 26.4% of deaths due to heart disease. Cigarettes became the main risk factor for coronary heart disease. This disease work synergistically against other disease risk factors, such as hypertension, increased cholesterol levels, diabetes, and others. The risk of stroke and death was also increased in smokers.

Outstanding problems in the habit of smoking is the type of cigarettes smoked, the clove cigarettes. These types have tar and nicotine levels higher 3 - 5 times compared with the cigarette filter. Nicotine in cigarettes can accelerate the process of narrowing and blockage of blood vessels. Blockage and narrowing of this bias occurs in the coronary blood vessels, which served to bring oxygen to the heart.

Smoking can increase blood pressure in the arteries, damaging the inner lining of blood vessels, so easy to condense the blood to clot, disturb heart rhythm and the resulting lack of oxygen but because of the content of CO (carbon monoxide).

Ways Stop Smoking

Almost all smokers wish to quit smoking but they do not know how. Moreover, the effects of smoking can cause addiction. dr. Aulia explained, cigarettes have the same effect as morphine, which is the effect of addiction and habituation (dependence).

3. Smoking
Substances toxic chemicals in cigarettes are inhaled, such as carbon monoxide, will impede the blood's ability to carry oxygen throughout the body including the brain, causing rapid shrinkage of the brain. Nicotine can also reduce levels of good cholesterol (HDL) and raise bad cholesterol (LDL) in blood.

Before Stretching Tense

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 17:19:00 +0000

In the midst of busyness and routines of work, sometimes we forget to took time to exercise. Stretching exercises or stretching is one of flexibility exercises that are beneficial to health. With age, body flexibility is reduced and easier risk of injury. Suppleness with trained body can do stretching exercises every day at before, during intermission, and after exercise or activity.

What is Stretch?

Stretching techniques have been used for years to avoid injury and muscle fatigue. Basically the stretch function to distribute oxygen to all parts of the muscle so that muscle recovery is faster. Stretch has the same mechanism by which massage techniques relaxes back muscle fibers are rigid.

Stretching muscles increases oxygenation or air exchange processes within cells and stimulate the lymphatic system work. In addition, stretching can improve our posture and avoid from a variety of muscle pain that often occurs in the neck, shoulders, and our backs, and even avoid the headaches and indigestion.

Why Stretching Necessary?
Stretching is one of the components for the balance of any sport. Without You will stretch more easily injured and flexibility of your movements would be reduced. Stretching also serves to relax muscle stress, improve sports performance at the core. If we do not have to stretch the joint movement will be limited so as to do certain movements which suddenly and requires agility such as running or jumping, then the injury factor in the joints or muscles will become bigger. In terms of weightlifting exercise, stretching helps reduce muscle stress that occurs, so that the muscle pain is delayed or called Doms (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) can be minimized.

Stretching should do anytime?
Most people think that stretching should be done at the time prior to exercise. In fact, when the right time to stretch should be differentiated according to type of exercise performed.

To exercise stretching weights should be done after your weight lifting. Why? That does not mean you should not stretch before lifting weights, lifting weights needed for maximum contraction. So the previous stretch is actually going to make the muscle fibers to relax and lose its ability to contract maximum. In addition, stretching done after lifting weights will circulation and distribution of oxygen so that pain can be minimized.
For dynamic sports such as aerobics, stretching should be done beforehand to avoid injury from the movement suddenly and require agility.
For moderate exercise such as walking or cycling faster, you can do any time stretching, could at the time before, during breaks, or after exercise.
All you need to note is that when you stretch the muscles are not in a rigid condition. A very appropriate time to stretch is after a fairly warm. So instead do the heating (warm-ups) before stretching to pump your blood flow throughout the body. For instance running in place during the first 5-10 minutes as a warm up before stretching, so you get the optimum benefits of stretching.

How basic principles of stretching?
Before you stretch, use clothing that does not limit the movement and make you feel comfortable. Prepare the mat or carpet for the stretch. Stretching can be done safely every day and should involve all major muscle groups (main). Generally, adults have four points that muscle tension can be estimated previously. Four point is the front shoulder, lower back, knee muscles, and calves. Stretch one of these muscles in the opposite direction. This beginning will make your muscles relaxed and ready for the next stretch. Continue to the other muscles, your best stretch and hold for about 10 count, do as much as 5 times.

Stretching Tips
Isometric exercise is a kind of minimum we should do every day. If the routine, stretches should be done before and after exercise to avoid injury during exercise and help restore muscle stress. Similarly, for those who do not or seldom exercise, stretching exercises can help reduce stress and reduce muscle tension, especially in the head, neck and back.

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 17:24:00 +0000

What is my ideal weight? The question I hear every day when consulted about weight management. I'm so tall, so my weight, is ideal or not? How much weight should I? Or why my fitness to practice my weight up when I want it down? While others say, my fitness why my weight down, not up? It turned out that this simple issue being debated in the world own fitness.

Actually in the world of fitness, NO such thing as ideal weight. If we follow the old rule of reduced height 110, so for example we 170cm tall, 60kg weight we, is not it will become too thin? Weight do not make reference to seeking an ideal weight. Majority of our body consists of fat and muscle. Two things which determine our weight. Muscle increases or decreases, the weight we would be affected, so does the fat increases or decreases, the weight we would be affected, too. The difference is that fat is unhealthy and fat can not give the body shape that we consider 'beautiful'.

To find out the ideal weight, the recommended standard is a form of body that we see through a mirror. It's early stages we have to do. Have we satisfied with our body shape? Is my belly too fat? Is my arm too sagged?

Many people still can not accept this point of view, and still forced to ask WHAT MY IDEAL WEIGHT? I myself have experienced with my stay high like this, my weight 61 kg once, with very little fat, and my body ideal plasticity, but I also had my weight 61kg, too, with so much fat that my hard-buttoned pants . High same, the same weight of 61kg, but the two different conditions. Which are an ideal and the other does not. Is there any so-called ideal weight? The answer is NO.

Besides watching the mirror, we can also calculate the amount of fat in our body by using various tools. As an example is to use fat monitors. Fat levels are normal for boys while girls 15-20% 20-25%. Fat good that can be said that can make better-shaped body is 10-15% for boys and 15-20% for girls.

Fitness to practice form the body is doing two things, namely reducing the amount of fat, and increase the amount of muscle. Muscle gain weight will go up, we are better shaped body. Fat decreases body weight will fall we will be shaped. If for example, 1kg increase muscle, decrease fat while 1 kg, the size of our pants will be reduced even if the above considerations, we do not change weight. So for those of us who want to have the ideal body, not BASED with numbers on a scale because so many factors that can make your weight changes.

The Right Sport For Heart Disease Patients

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 02:51:00 +0000

I will discuss about the heart condition is associated with exercise, what do you understand the basic condition of the heart, heart disease could be improved or exacerbated by exercise, and what you can do to prevent a fatal condition.

Several times we have heard relatives or friends died suddenly while doing sports such as tennis, and others. The question arises, why did occur during exercise should be an activity that makes sense? Before going to discuss in detail the sports activities, I will discuss about the heart first.

Some Heart Condition

The heart is a unique organ, located in the middle / center of the human body as a pump to distribute blood throughout the body of the brain to the human toes. Because of its nature as a pump, the heart muscle as a main component.

The heart itself also need nutrients from the blood to meet the pumping energy, it is full of blood vessels called coronary arteries. The older age of a person, the more noise that can occur in the heart. Disorders that often arise include:

1. Blockage or narrowing of coronary arteries due to buildup of cholesterol in the blood vessel walls.
2. Decrease in pumping power of heart disease due to diabetes, high blood a long time, or heart muscle damage post-heart attack.
3. A heart attack could be fatal due to sudden coronary total occlusion.

Generally at a young age, on rare disorders, but the age of 40 years and above, the frequency of occurrence of the above items higher.

What are the symptoms that occur in heart problems? Symptoms vary depending on the disorder arises what happens. At the heart pump power reduction (in medical terms is called heart failure), if symptoms are shortness heavier activity, shortness improved with rest, and instead become heavy when packed sleeping position / lie.

In the cases of heart attack, symptoms of chest pain arises is great on the left side more than 15 minutes, the pain spread to her left arm with a cold sweat and a great fear as if going to die, the pain associated with sports activities such as stimulating energy explosive such as tennis.

The above items can be prevented and detected through examination by a doctor. Several tests to detect such an EKG to record electrical activity of the heart, echocardiografi to see heart movement, a treadmill test for early detection of coronary occlusion to the sophisticated tests such as MSCT and invasive nature such as cardiac catheterization.

Sports What is recommended and is not?

After learning some heart conditions that often occur, the following discussion is about what the recommended exercise and is not recommended if you have heart problems are.

I hope you're not one of perception in reading this article, because in essence, sport is a very advisable in people with heart problems, but should be chosen based on the intensity of its kind, nature and frequency

In people with heart conditions are healthy and young, there are no obstacles to doing any exercise, even this is a must because it will train the heart to work well, improving circulation by lowering cholesterol, so do not accumulate in blood vessel walls, improving insulin sensitivity thus slowing the emergence of diabetes and many other good effects.

While the people who already have heart problems required changes in exercise patterns. In principle, a sport that is recommended is CRIPE (Continuous, Rhythmical, Interval, Progressive, and Endurance) as a recommended exercise in people with diabetes. These sports include swimming, jogging / running a treadmill with moderate intensity. While exercise is not recommended to be explosive such as tennis, badminton, and (unfortunately, too), including heavy lifting.

The question that arises is why some sports above and it should not be dangerous? As I discussed that the heart is a muscular organ for pumping blood. In conditions where these muscles are weak (not to be confused with your biceps can be trained to become stronger), then the sport is forcing an already weak heart is to work beyond its capacity. The result is that the body's energy needs during exercise can not be met by the shipment of blood from the heart, so that the blood supply to the brain or the lungs down suddenly and can cause death.

In people with coronary heart disease which has occurred blockage of blood vessel walls, explosive sport that is also dangerous because of the stress that will cause a sudden outbreak of a pile of cholesterol in coronary wall and trigger a chain reaction which ended in a total blockage of coronary blood flow. What happens when there is total blockage? Heart muscle damage because there is no blood flow to provide nutrients to the muscles.

What can be done to anticipate? You do not need to be too alarmed after reading this article. More attention should be given if you have several risk factors below:

1. Diabetes
2. High blood uncontrolled
3. Obesity
4. History of heart disease in the family
5. SMOKING
6. High Cholesterol

If there are 2 or more risk factors above then I suggest you do a heart to know the condition of your heart and what the appropriate sport.

Diet Tips Practical And Easy

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 04:39:00 +0000

Here are 11 practical tips on the diet that is easy for anyone:

Choose a diet program that you can do, reliable and reasonable. Do not be fooled brief diets that did not make sense.
The right diet program is a program that includes exercise. Exercise at least 30 minutes a day, 6 times a week. No need is too heavy, fast walking or jogging is enough.
Set design menus and meals from your diet. Enter also off-menu (menu-free so as not to get bored). Determine and record the scheduled start your diet.

In the first 3-4 days, the temptation is good food. Set mindset, such as: "strict diet for a while, the results of a lifetime", "The body is more attractive and healthier", and other positive mindset.
The high level of appetite is the second temptation for fast absorption carbohydrates (white bread, white rice, potatoes and other foods low in fiber). High-carbohydrate foods trigger the body's production of insulin so thirsty sugar (Craving). So the limit in the first weeks of diet. Replace it with brown rice or whole wheat bread. Eat-lowering appetite as green tea without sugar and water.
Do not diet too strict at the beginning of the program or you will be tempted to think negatively like "this is too difficult, maybe not stand", and other negative impulse.
In the second week, usually you start to get bored. Try to eat well (cheating) in the portion NORMAL 1 times a week to reduce boredom.
After the first 2 weeks, you get used to and decrease weight. You can still cheating once a week in a normal portion. Do not eat well Revenge jumbo or weight will rise again.
Weight loss supplements can help your diet program. However, only serves to help while of success depends on your diet. Study the contents (ingredients) first. Do not haphazardly choose supplements.
If you eat snacks, choose a high protein (fish, boiled eggs) due to low calories and more slowly digested than high-carbohydrate foods. Digestion and metabolism may take longer to work so fat burning easier.
Diet without fries? It was not his time anymore! Now it is canola oil which contains 62% monounsaturated fat, 31% polyunsaturated fat, 7% saturated fat and heat resistance. Remember, do not fry dishes of all, because the fat calories are still high. Use a little oil and fill with vegetables.

Olive oil is better? Not really. Olive oil does contain unsaturated fats high, but not heat-resistant and easily damaged when for frying or sauteing. If damaged, the levels of saturated fat will increase.

Good diet and good luck!

Honey Should Be Consumed Every Day

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 16:22:00 +0000

Honey has been consumed by the Spanish since 7000 BC, and until now the community is considered an important advance. Besides having a high nutritional value, honey cure various diseases.

Japanese society most widely known for honey compared with Asian countries, namely, achieving an average of 200-300 grams per person per year. Consumption of honey Swiss and German society even higher, ie 800-1500 grams per person per year.

Sweet taste of honey that comes from the juice or nectar of flowers collected, modified and bound by a specific compounds by the bees. Flower nectar sucked from various plants. Nutritional composition of honey depends on the nectar sources, the nature of the soil in which plants grow nectar sources, weather, degree of cooking and way of extraction. According to Francis G. Smith, who has cooked honey substances containing fructose (41%) glucose (35%) sucrose (1.9%) dextrin (1.5%) and minerals (0.2%) and water (17%) and substances other substances.

While vitamins are contained in honey include thiamin, riboflavin, biotin, ascorbic acid, piridoksin, niacin and pantothenic acid which amount depends on the type and quality of honey. For the protein content in honey is relatively small, averaging about 2.6%. Amino acids found in proteins of honey is alanine, asparagine, argirin, glutamic acid, glycine, histidine, leucine, isoleucine, lysine, phenylalanine, serine, theorin, valine, cysteine and proline.

Honey is the only sweetener that can be stored and used as a natural product with two kinds of major sugar content of fructose and glucose. The number two reached 85-95% of the total carbohydrates found in honey. One part of the volume of honey has a sweetness level of about 1.67 parts sugar.

Glucose can be absorbed into the bloodstream directly without going through the various processes, instead of fructose should be changed first into simpler components absorbed by the body before. Because honey is generally composed of fructose and glucose, honey is easily digested and used for cells, tissues, and organs to function normally.

In addition to taste sweet, in the honey there too sour. The level of acidity (pH) of honey around 3,4-6,1. PH values low enough honey is caused by the content of several organic acids, namely acid gluconate, acetate, butyrate, citrate, format, curse, malate, piroglutamat, and succinic acid.

Mineral content in honey is very diverse, but potassium is the major mineral deposits. Other minerals are sodium, calcium, magnesium, iron, copper, phosphorus and sulfur. Because the amount of minerals in relatively little honey, honey is not a major mineral resources to human dietary needs. However, the balance and the amount of minerals in honey near the amount contained in human blood. Therefore, minerals honey is an ideal source for the human body.

Honey is a potential food as bases. The elements are the alkaline potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium. Meanwhile, the acidic sulfur, phosphorus, and chlorine. The lack of acid-base balance will cause physiological disturbances that can reduce the body's immune system. To maintain the acid-base balance in the body, we need to take the honey on a regular basis.

Identify Types of Honey

Honey Floral

Floral honey is honey produced from the nectar of flowers. When the nectar of flowers came from a wide range of flowers, honey is honey produced polyfloral.

Honeydew

Honey produced from the liquid secretion of the insect hemipterous put sugar in the plant parts is called honey dew.

Artificial Honey

All the honey is produced from processed foods without artificial honey bee called. Artificial honey consumed by people who are allergic to honey bees, although the name of artificial honey, good nutritious and healthful. Artificial honey is made by grinding the fruit, then filter the juice condense with heating and packaging.

Royal Jelly (Honey Extract)

Royal jelly is the result of a worker bee glandular secretions that contain proteins, fats, sugar, salt minerals, vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, vitamin H, and vitamin E. Royal jelly contains a hormone that can stimulate gonadotropin reproductive organs and accelerate the queen bee to mature eggs. Sari honey also contains an antibiotic substance that is germisidin can prevent the growth of fungi and microorganisms. Royal jelly color white as milk.

Bee Pollen

Pollen from different types of flowers that is collected by bees and stored in the hive as a raw material for making honey is bee pollen. With various techniques, such pollen can be harvested before the process it into honey bees.

Eggs Protein Source Is Cheapest

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 16:20:00 +0000

Poultry eggs are one food that is commonly known. Most types of eggs are consumed chicken eggs, duck and geese, but quail eggs are also often a little cooking. The largest egg is the ostrich egg.

Chicken eggs are sold and used for human consumption are usually not fertile eggs (infertile) because the hens in a chicken farm is separated from male chickens. But of course, the fertile eggs (fertility) can still be sold and consumed with little nutritional difference. Fertile eggs will not contain the developing embryo because both natural cooling process or from the refrigerator will prevent cell growth.

Raw eggs and Cooking

Eggs cooked in various ways ranging from sweet to salty. So the egg itself can be salted, boiled, fried scrambled or fried, chilled or eaten raw. However, consumption of raw eggs is not recommended for people who are easily infected with salmonella, such as the elderly, the sick or weak and pregnant women. In addition, too, raw egg contains only 51% of biological nutrients while cooked egg contains almost 91% of biological nutrients. This means that the protein content in mature eggs is almost twice the body than can be absorbed if consumed raw eggs.

Boiled eggs for too long will cause the appearance of greenish circle on the yellow egg. It shows the emergence of iron compounds and sufur on boiled eggs. Can also occur if the water used to boil the eggs contain too much iron. It was not going to change, but the boiling too long will reduce the quality of the protein. Chill the eggs in cold water after boiling a while (until the really cold) can prevent the emergence of the green circle. Cooked egg and a little increased risk of atherosclerosis disease due to increased oxidation of cholesterol contained in egg yolk.

Eggs Nutrient
Chicken eggs are the most commonly consumed high and very nutritious. Chicken egg contains a variety of high-quality proteins contain all kinds, including essential amino acids for human needs. Also contains various vitamins and minerals, including vitamins A, riboflacin, folic acid, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, choline, iron, calcium, phosphorus and potassium. Chicken eggs are also the cheapest food source of complete protein. A chicken egg contains a large approximately 7 grams of protein.

Vitamins A, D and E contained in egg yolk. Eggs are known to be one of the few foods that contain vitamin D. One large egg yolk contains about 60 calories and the egg white contains about 15 calories. One large egg yolk contains two-thirds of the recommended daily cholesterol is 300 mg. Fat in eggs is also present in the egg yolk. One egg yolk contains half the recommended daily choline. Choline is an essential nutrient for brain development and is also very important for pregnant and lactating women to ensure the development of a healthy fetal brain.

Egg nutrition are diverse depending on the food and chicken main environmental conditions. Research from Mother Earth News showed that eggs from chickens raised on pasture free fatty acid Omega-3 four times more, vitamin E two times more, beta-carotene from two to six times as much and only half the cholesterol content of eggs than from chickens reared in cages only with artificial heating.

Eggs Results Engineering
Currently, chicken eggs that contain omega-3 was marketed. But the nutritional content is different for every brand of eggs. This engineered eggs produced by hens fed with food containing lots of saturated fat. Eggs engineered as cholesterol-free eggs and eggs that contain Omega-3 is expected to reduce the burden of human organs due to excess nutrients. Community certain circles (which tend to excess nutrients) no one tried to consume nutrients with that specific product.

There are two problems that tend to arise nutrition, ie undernutrition or not enough nutrients. Then, malnutrition or any nutrient, the amount of rations enough, but nutritionally wrong, Wrong nutrition or malnutrition generally upon those who consume an excessive nutrients or exceed the needs of the body. Conversely if malnutrition, lack of nutrition supply. To be safe, eat the eggs so that the body needs are biologically healthy body.

Like bodybuilding athletes who can get the protein content in albumen, high white chicken boiled egg for muscle development. Of course, chicken egg consumption needs for those larger than ordinary people. Can even reach some egg white from 50 eggs boiled chicken.

Do Not Ignore Vitamin And Mineral

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 17:28:00 +0000

For the bodybuilder, the first thing that comes when choosing a protein supplement. Because the protein is useful as forming the most popular muscle. Therefore, the presence of vitamins and minerals as a group of micronutrients are often ignored. Vitamins and minerals, although only needed in small quantities useful to help the body's metabolic processes to be going well. Therefore, the lack of intake of vitamins and minerals can hamper your progress.

Vitamins :

Vitamins are essential substances necessary to support the smooth absorption of nutrients and metabolism processes. Vitamin deficiency can lead to disturbance of health. Therefore, daily intake of vitamins in a certain amount that could ideally be obtained from food. Number of adequate intake of vitamin per day for health care is defined as the Recommended Daily Allowance or RDA.

A couple of certain vitamins when given in high doses has antioxidant effects that help the immune system to neutralize toxins in the body from free radicals and germs. Some other vitamins have a therapeutic effect, as opposed to a deficiency of vitamin deficiency caused by them.

Because the vitamins are not produced by the body, vitamins, essential compounds referred to as a vital and supplied from food. Body produces vitamin is Vitamin D and K. Lack of vitamin will cause certain symptoms as a medical disorder.

In addition, some vitamins act as antioxidants and immune system stimulant that is vitamin A, C and E. Mucosal epithelial tissue forming and secretory, such as vitamin A and E. Some are working as a neurotransmitter formation of nerve, blood and enzyme systems such as Vitamin B complex. Vitamin D is a special function of bone formation and vitamin K plays a role in blood clotting process.

Because it consists of many different types of compounds, vitamins are divided into water-soluble vitamins (vitamins C, B complex) and fat-soluble vitamins (Vitamins A, D, E, and K). Water-soluble vitamins are not stored in the body that it needs to continue to be supplied from food or supplements. While fat-soluble vitamins are stored by the body, but if the excess can cause side effects of vitamin poisoning. Therefore the use of fat-soluble vitamins in high doses (vitamin A and E) is recommended as an antioxidant should be careful because it can lower the immune system.

Mineral :

Like vitamins, minerals needed to support the body's metabolic functions. Some minerals play a role in helping the immune system such as zinc and selenium, help the blood system such as potassium and calcium, to form bone, maintaining blood sugar levels, maintaining thyroid function, maintain and preserve the heart muscle absorption of calcium by bones. And forming blood. Other important minerals are sodium, chromium, manganese, cobalt, sulfur, chlorine and phosphorus.

In day-to-day needs, minerals needed in small quantities and absorbed from food in the form of organic compounds are safe for the body.

Water For Most Vital Nutrition Body

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 10:43:00 +0000

Humans can survive for several weeks without food, but can only survive a few days without water. The human body consists of 55-75 percent water. Water became one of the basic building elements of blood, digestive enzymes, urine, sweat, and even embedded in muscle tissue, fat, and bone.

Because the body can not store water, so we need fresh water intake to replace the water that has issued various vital organs to the body sweat, urine, feces, and others. The amount of water intake that we need depends on our body's metabolism, temperature, weather, the food we eat and of course the level of activity we do.

Facts on Body Water Content

   1. The water content in the body more in men than in women and is reduced with age.
   2. Most adults spend about 2,5-3 liters of water per day from his body. Water will increase spending on hot weather conditions and a long training time.The older people spend about 2 liters of water per day from his body.
   3. Passenger transport equipment air will lose 1.5 liters of water during the first three hours of air travel. Such loss should be replaced by fresh water.
   4. Most foods contain about 1 liter of water and the rest must be obtained from the drink.
   5. Various Functions Body Needs Water
   6. As a vital nutrient, water is required to:
   7. Maintain the health and integrity of every cell in the body.
   8. Maintain fluid levels of blood flow to more easily flow through blood vessels.
   9. To help eliminate the remnants of the body's metabolism, excess electrolytes, such as sodium, potassium, and urea which is the remainder of the food protein processing.
10. Set the temperature of the body through the sweating process.
11. Maintain humidity mucous membranes, such as those found in the lungs and mouth.
12. Lubricate and protect joints.
13. Reduce the risk of cystitis by keeping the disease bladder free from bacteria.
14. Helps digestion and prevent constipation.
15. Working as a moisturizer to improve skin texture and appearance.
16. Bring a variety of nutrients and oxygen in the blood cells.
17. Working as a silencer on the organ bearing the eyes, spinal cord and amniotic sac in the process of pregnancy the fetus.

Water in Food Ingredients

In general, foods contain water, even that looks tough and dry though. The body can obtain a third water intake needs from food. The digestive process itself also produces water as a result of waste and can supply about 10 percent of the body's need for water. Needs rest must be obtained from the fluid.

Dehydration

Dehydration occurs when the moisture content levels in the body is too low. This condition can be prevented by increasing fluid intake. Symptoms of dehydration include a headache, dizziness, lethargy, depressed, low-power response, the channel dry nose, lips dry and cracked, urine color is too yellow or dark, the body weak, tired, and hallucinations.
