Loosing weight

2012-12-23T16:55:00.002+01:00

Everybody know that excess body fat increases your risk of diseases like coronary heart disease, diabetes, stroke and even some type of cancer. But this are not the only conditions you can suffer from. An study has shown that people who has a lot of extra body fat have weaker bones that those with normal body fat levels. They also found out that overweight mice had more fat cells than than bone cells in the bone marrow. You dont have to wait until you have the symptoms, just do something about your weight and bone problems. While it is challenging to lose weight, it can be done obviously, with diet and exercises.
When you exercise, you are not only strenghtening your heart, but also building your bones. So you should start finding ways to incorporate some cardio activities and a weight training to be able to reach your goal of building up your bones and losing some of your excess fat.

Do you know how to run?

2012-12-22T23:38:00.000+01:00

It’s a simple question, and probably something you might not even think about. After all, what’s so tough about running, right? You put one foot in front of the other, repeat the process as quickly as possible, and bam you’re running!

But did you realize that running improperly, especially for long distances, can do some serious damage to your body?

First of all, our body needs to have a base-level of fitness before we start running. When you run, when you take a step, you put the pressure of your entire body weight on the muscles, tendons and joints in your legs, knees, ankles, feet, and toes. If you are overweight and have improper running technique, that means your joints and tendons are taking an absolute pounding for doesn't matter how many steps you take during your run.

Even if it will feel wierd, it’s important to stop stomping your heel into the ground, and instead focus on having your foot strike the ground more towards the middle/ball of your foot. Shorter strides, bent legs that are underneath you rather than fully extended out in front of you on impact, standing straight up, arms pumping, and trying to lightly bounce off the ground without your heel coming into contact with the ground. Your calves will get sore almost immediately, BUT it could save your knees, ankles, back, from horribly injuries. Don't do too much too soon, if you dont want to hurt yourself!

Even if you run you can still focus on strength training! If your goal is weight loss, or strength and muscle gain, or overall increased fitness, having a solid base in strength training will keep you healthy and safe. If you put all of your effort into just running (without any strength training) will cause you to burn muscle along with fat, which typically results in that “skinny fat” look.

Eat right! - You can still run while following the Paleo diet, meat, veggies, fruit, nuts, and some healthy starches like sweet potatoes or yams. I prefer to run less and eat healthier than force myself to eat extra carbs (that are probably unhealthy) so that I can spend even more time running long distances, but this is up to you.

Enjoy your running! :)

NO Sugar!

2012-12-19T19:56:00.000+01:00

If YOU WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT I always tell people to avoid sugar at all costs. If you stop eating sugar, you will immediately start to see weight loss, I promise you. Sugar is found everywhere, not just in candy. It’s in most of your drinks: juices, smoothies, sodas, alcoholic drinks, Starbucks drinks… It’s in your food: fruit, dried fruit, anything packaged, all simple carbohydrates such as rice, pasta and bread. Sugar not only stores excess fat, but it ruins your teeth! Is sugar like cocaine? According to studies, the brain’s reward region releases dopamine, the same hormone released when taking drugs, has the same effect when eating/drinking sugar. Just like over-using drugs, the more you eat – the less you feel satisfied! I don’t think we should go EXTREME and abolish sugar from our lives, but if you try to be as NATURAL as possible – and only eat sugar that comes from nature (I’m talking about fruits and figs people) then I think that’s acceptable. Everything else IS NOT!

Hormones and chemicals that are released when you workout:

2012-12-19T19:45:00.000+01:00

Ever wonder what is going on chemically in the body while you sweat it out at the gym? The euphoric feelings during and after exercise, as well as the muscle soreness that might just come a day later, don't just appear magically. Your body is made up of millions of chemical reactions, which result in different physical and mental feelings. Take a look at some of the top hormones and chemicals that are released when you workout. Endorphins These chemicals are released by your pituitary gland, which is located in the base of your brain. Endorphins make you feel exhilarated and happy and block any feelings of pain, so you can power through any discomfort caused by exercising. That's why people become addicted to strenuous forms of exercises and experience "runner's high." Estrogen Estrogen determines whether carbs or fat fuel the body during an intense exercise session. Women tend to burn fat for fuel, while men tend to burn carbs, because women have higher estrogen levels. When women undergo menopause, they usually experience some weight gain because of lowered estrogen levels. Serotonin A chemical responsible for happiness, restful sleep, and a healthy appetite, serotonin levels will increase if you work out regularly. Serotonin works with endorphins to make working out a pleasurable activity. In addition, more serotonin means more energy and clearer thinking. Growth Factors Growth factors are the hormone-like compounds that work with satellite cells to help stimulate and regulate production of more muscle. Growth factors like hepatocyte, fibroblast, and insulin send signals to the satellite cells to move to the damaged muscle area, repair the damage following exercise, and regulate muscle mass growth, respectively. Dopamine Dopamine is a pleasure chemical. Studies have found that a brain with a dopamine receptor deficiency is more prone to weight gain, because eating quickly easily raises dopamine levels. Those with fewer receptors need more dopamine in the bloodstream (aka more food) to reach the same level of satisfaction as someone with a normal amount. This is even more reason to work out regularly to keep those dopamine levels up in order to keep overeating and weight gain at bay. Domamine is often associated with orgasms. Working out helps stimulate the production of dopamine, and increased levels of dopamine combined with core, quads, thighs, and pelvic muscle exercises may result in a "coregasm."

Sacrifice...

2012-12-19T19:35:00.000+01:00

Let’s face it. Even though becoming a healthier person is obviously a very good endeavor to shoot for, it is definitely a challenge to stay focused, determined, persistent and consistent. There are going to be times when you have to choose between two equally important things and you have to choose fitness. There are going to be temptations to eat bad, drink, skip workouts, not workout as hard, etc. However, if you want to realize your fitness goal, you have to make these necessary sacrifices. The amount of what you are willing to sacrifice is what will determine how successful you will become. At the same time, while these sacrifices sound harsh, the good part is: is that the more you make fitness a successful habit, the less ‘perceived’ sacrifices you will have to make. In life, everything comes with a sacrifice. If you want to change your life to get to higher goal, then expect sacrifice to be part of the game plan. Be prepared that the road to your destination will not be easy, and understand that nothing great occurs without sacrifice.

great deal

For what it’s worth, it’s never too late, or in my case too early, to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit… start whenever you want… you can change or stay the same. There are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. I hope you see things that stop you. I hope you feel things that you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life that you’re proud of and if you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.

3 zile...studiu despre tine

2010-08-07T17:04:00.004+02:00

"...locuiesc vizavi. Te vad in fiecare dimineata, gol, cu ferestrele deschise...nu ma arat, caci asta te-ar face sa zambesti...te studiez, numar femeile care le porti seara si le incercuiesc pe cele care si-au castigat dreptul sa deschida ferestrele dimineata. Iti stiu chipul speriat cand esti singur, si te-am vazut de atatea ori plangand dupa ce ai iubit o femeie care tocmai a plecat. Ti-am vazut toate mastile...caci intr-o zi ai lasat ferestrele deschise si la pod...trebuie sa urci in fiecare zi treptele acelea singur, ca sa-ti alegi cine vrei sa fii. Cred ca doar trei zile in ultimul an ai trait fara nici o masca...si atunci iti venea mereu in vizita aceeasi femeie...dar atunci inchideai ferestrele...toate! si trageai perdelele...toate!...si plecau toate celelalte! Intra cu spatele drept la tine, dar iesea fugarita de cat de tare te-ar fi iubit daca nu te-ar fi stiut atat de bine...atat de rau de fapt... Nu iubi! Asteapta sa vin sa-ti fac curatenie!..."

Urcatul scarilor este atat de eficient deoarece iti forteaza organismul sa lupte impotriva gravitatiei, obligandu-ti astfel muschii sa 'munceasca' de doua ori mai mult decat in mod normal.
Pentru ca este un exercitiu destul de extenuant, efectele sale sunt vizibile intr-o perioada de timp mult mai redusa decat in cazul altor sporturi. De exemplu, 15 minute de urcat pe scari sunt echivalente cu 30 de minute de alergat. Este unul dintre cele mai solicitante exercitii, deoarece te obliga sa iti muti intreaga greutate a corpului atat pe vertical, cat si pe orizontal.Chiar si pentru persoanele sedentare, care nu includ in programul lor zilnic nicio activitate sportiva, urcatul scarilor poate imbunatati considerabil sanatatea inimii si a sistemului circulator.

Sportul, de mii de ani pentru sanatate...

2010-06-07T07:53:00.003+02:00

Toţi suntem conştienţi că exerciţiul fizic este vital pentru a fi sănătoşi. Cu toate acestea, găsim tot felul de motive pentru care să nu ne facem timp zilnic să facem mişcare.
Iată ce poate face exerciţiul fizic pentru sănătatea noastră:

-Sportul ajuta la eliminarea kilogramelor in exces si autoregleaza greutatea corporala.
-Sportul reduce considerabil depresia si anxietatea.
- Intareste oasele, inima, muschii, intregul sistem cardio-respirator. Creste increderea in sine si autosatisfactia.
-Reduce considerabil efectele stresului.
-Imbunatateste rezistenta fizica si concentrarea psihica.
-Ajuta la coordonarea miscarilor, simtul echilibrului si flexibilitatea coloanei vertebrale si mobilitatea articulatiilor.
-Revigoreaza activitatea sexuala :D
-Invatam lucruri noi.
-Dezvoltam obiceiuri sanatoase legate de nutritie, conservarea energiei, dozarea efortului si autocunoasterea personala. Deseori se pot descoperi si consolida calitatile de lider.
-Sportul elimina prin piele, cu ajutorul procesului de transpiratie, o gama larga de toxine, impuritati, grasimi, hormoni.
-Regleaza in mod stralucit metabolismul organismului uman.
-Mersul pe jos are un efect minunat asupra celor care, din diverse probleme de sanatate, nu pot practica sporturi dinamice.
-Sistemul nervos beneficiaza intr-o mare masura de efectele activitatii fizice.
-Calitatea si durata somnului sunt considerabil imbunatatite de orice efort fizic.
-Dezvoltarea simtului estetic este un efect secundar al practicarii sportului.

Lectie pentru "prieteni":

2010-04-25T20:28:00.000+02:00

Un curcan statea de vorba cu un taur:
- Tare as dori sa fiu in stare sa ajung pe varful acelui copac-suspina el. Dar nu am energia necesara sa fac asta.
- Pai, ia mananca din rahatul meu, care este plin cu substante nutritive.
Curcanul manca din rahatul taurului si reusi in prima zi sa se inalte pe prima creanga a copacului. Si tot asa mancand din aceeasi sursa,dupa trei zile reusi sa ajunga in varful copacului. Dar un vanator, vazandu-l pe curcan in varful copacului, il ochi si il impusca.
MORALA: Mancand rahat poti ajunge in virf, dar nu poti ramane acolo mult timp.

Si daca am lua cateva situatii:

1. Suntem in autobuz si vedem un tanar care probabil asculta sa zicem house, pe care il vezi ca este departe cu gandurile, care adopta o tinuta lalaie, dezordonata si dezinteresata, si care este incercanat. Stii ce-ti vine in cap: “un alt drogat!”

2. La semafor, o batrana inghetata de frig, cu hainele rupte, parcurge strada, fara a cere nimic, departe in lumea ei, parca cere ajutor, dar cu siguranta mentalitatea sociala ne face sa gandim ca este doar o alta cersetoare.

3. Iti arunci un ochi la blonda (care de fapt nu mai e blonda acum):)),ca la un moment dat isi da cu mana prin par, si nici nu te observa cand trece pe langa tine (tu care iti dai atata importanta) ei bine ce gandesti: ” a inceput sa aibe fitze!”(caz real=))-unii chiar sunt foarte chinuiti de faptul ca nu primesc atentie).

Ne dam cu parerea prea repede, inconjurati de frustrari ascunse, idei preconcepute, mesaje ale copilariei primite de la parinti sau altele. De cele mai multe ori parerile noastre sunt jocuri ale constiintei care se bazeaza doar pe trecut. Nu stim sa gandim in afara noastra, sa incercam sa simtim ce simt ceilalti si poate sa ne dam seama ca poate:

Baiatul care asculta house este un student la medicina care a citit toata noaptea inainte de examen.

Ca batrana a fost data afara din casa de copiii pe care i-a iubit tota viata si in lupta lor pentru bani, au trecut peste orice. O batrana care nu mai isi doreste decat sa-si regaseasca familia pierduta si o vorba buna.

Ca poate blonda asta pur si simplu a facut un gest cand si-a trecut mana prin par, iar daca nu te-a bagat inseamna inseamna ca nu meriti, tocmai pentru ca in secunda urmatiare ai fi spus ca se baga in seama de fapt :)).

Analizati-va si pe voi noaptea cand puneti capul pe perna. A doua zi o sa va doriti poate sa mai schimbati cate ceva.

Exista oameni care isi dau viata pentru altii. Si nu ma refer in razboaie. Sunt sacrifii umane pe care nimeni nu le observa, uneori nici cel salvat. Uneori sacrificiul nu implica viata. Nu implica nici o parte lipsa a corpului, doar o cicatrice mentala. Si pentru ca suntem construiti cu totii egoisti, cu cat suntem mai cicatrizati, cu atat mai duri devenim, insensibili, nepasatori. Si cu atat mai putin probabil sa faci vreun sacrificiu cat de mic pentru cel de langa....
