How To Prevent Bodybuilding Injuries

Saturday, June 30th, 2007

#=
#################
As a bodybuilder you are going to be training hard, so it is
essential that you do your utmost to take care of your muscles
and prevent injury. Before you do anything you should read up
on safe bodybuilding practices such as proper lifting
techniques, warming up and cooling down. Here we shall discuss
some tips on how to stay safe down the gym.

This Is Essential=85

The most important thing that you should do is a proper warm up
followed by a warm down at the end of you session. Spend at
least 15 minutes warming up; 5 minutes of light aerobic
exercise such as jogging then 10 minutes of stretching to
loosen off and prepare your body for activity. Lift some light
weights before you get started on the serious stuff to prepare
your muscles for the stress you’re about to put them under.

Know Your Limits

The next important thing you should know is your limits for
each exercise, everyone is different, so don’t try to lift more
than you feasibly can, as you could get injured. Make sure that
your workout is intense, but never sacrifice good form to try
and lift heavier weights, as this is a recipe for disaster. If
you are lifting weights you should be able to do at least eight
reps, if you can’t, reduce the weight until you build up your
strength. You’ll get better results by pushing yourself close
to your max than you will if you overexert yourself. You’ll
find you’ll get better definition and muscle increase by being
close to this threshold than trying in vain to train above it.

Spot This=85

When you are lifting large amounts of weights you need to have
a spotter, especially for when you are doing exercises such as
the bench press. Ideally your spotter should be someone of a
similar strength as you, as they will be able to help you out
if you get in trouble. Make sure that you help them by
returning the favour once you’ve finished on the machine.
Ideally your spotter should be your training partner as if
anything were to happen to you they would know you, and be able
to help staff contact the necessary people. Plus your training
partner will help you hit your goals and keep you motivated.

Once you know your training program and have been shown the
proper form, try working out in front of a mirror to keep your
form in check, as it is easy to pick up injuries by not
maintaining the correct form. If you have a training partner
ask them to keep an eye on your form too, if not, ask a gym
trainer to help you out. Follow the basic fundamentals and use
your common sense and you shouldn’t go to far wrong. Finally,
make sure you have a solid and proven training program, don’t
just try and ‘wing it’ as you go or you’ll come unstuck, get
injured and won’t get the results you want.

How To Detect Fraudulent Weight Loss Products

Saturday, June 30th, 2007

#=
#################
For people who are working to lose weight and keep off the
extra pounds, the promise of weight loss products that can help
make their struggle easier is difficult to resist. Losing weight
is difficult and full of setbacks which result in frustration.
Scams prey on this frustration, offering an easy solution.
However, in the best cases, fraudulent weight loss products
cost you money and do nothing to help you. Even worse, however,
they can threaten your health as well as your pocketbook. Here
are some ways to spot weight loss scams so that you don’t
become a victim.

1. Scams Promise to Make Weight Loss Easy

There are weight loss products that can help you on your
journey to achieve an ideal weight, but none of them can make
losing weight effortless. Any product that promises that you
can eat as much as you want of whatever you want, while lying
on the couch and watching TV all day long, is just trying to
get into your wallet.

2. Scams Use Weird Science to Back Up Claims

Magnets that can flush non-magnetic food out of your system,
earrings that manipulate hunger through acupuncture, and
glasses that can control your hunger pangs using colored lenses
are just a few of the fishy weight loss products that have been
marketed to unsuspecting dieters. None of these products have
any scientific backing for their claims, but they do cost a
pretty penny.

3. Scams Promise Rapid Weight Loss

The most that you can realistically expect to lose with a real
weight loss program is a pound or two per week. If you’re very
lucky and dedicated, you might make it up to three pounds a
week. But fraudulent weight loss products make fantastic =96 and
false =96 claims like losing 30 pounds in 30 days. Don’t believe
them.

4. Scams Guarantee that Everyone Will Succeed

There is no single weight loss product that will work without
fail for every person. It’s impossible. Scams make outrageous
guarantees to get you to open your pocketbook, but as the FTC
says, “the only thing you’re guaranteed to lose is your money.”

—The Good, The Bad, and the Vital

Hormones=97The Good, The Bad, and the Vital
Hormones are vital to your health. Hormones are a catalyst,
causing reactions to happen in the body. They regulate a
number of actions in your body. The pituitary gland sends
messages (hormones) to your thyroid, pancreas, liver,
breast, ovaries, etc. All these glands need hormones to
call them into action.

Energy is created with the help of hormones. Cancer and
Alzheimers are prevented when hormones are balanced
properly.

Estrogen is the hormone that keeps people young. It helps
the brain to function properly, helps the eyes to avoid
degeneration, controls your blood pressure, protects heart
health, and prevents bladder problems and cancer. Men have
estrogen and their health can be compromised by the lack of
estrogen. But it will be tough to convince men that they
need estrogen.

Progesterone balances estrogen and is a feel-good hormone.
Progesterone and testosterone increase your physical
desire. Testosterone helps build muscle and decrease fat,
while improving motivation and energy. Estrogen and
testosterone convert the bad cholesterol (LDL) to good
cholesterol (HDL).

There is also good and bad estrogen. Type E2 is a good
estrogen and protects against cancer of many kinds
including colon and breast cancer. Not enough good estrogen
will grow fibroids in the uterus. The good estrogen also
acts like an antidepressant.

The wrong/bad estrogen, as in synthetic, will cause
problems such as cancer, blood clots, etc. This includes
birth control pills, which give you synthetic hormones to
make your body think that it is pregnant for 3 weeks, then
not pregnant for a week, which is when you get your period,
though it’s a false one that is really like the bleeding
that takes place after child birth.

The newer birth control pill that goes in 3 month cycles
just holds the pregnant phase longer and gives your body
less often to flush out the uterus and vagina.

E4 and E16 are two types of bad estrogen and will cause
cancer. This is the type of estrogen given in synthetic
medications for hormone replacement. These should be
avoided. If you are currently taking these, talk with your
doctor about alternatives, or find another doctor.

The brain loses cells when estrogen is low. This can be
reversed. The brain can heal and regenerate, if given the
right nutrition and hormones. An example is a woman who had
Alzheimers at age 70 and is now driving at age 90. This is
a documented case, by Dr. Nasr, where nutrition and
hormones were used to regain health.

Calcium without estrogen will not work to prevent
osteoporosis. Sometimes only 10% of the calcium consumed is
absorbed into the bones. Estrogen helps get the calcium
into the bones. If no egg is released in the middle of a
woman’s menstrual cycle, no progesterone will be produced.
This gives an overabundance of estrogen, which can cause
problems. This is very common in women with PMS
(Premenstrual Syndrome) involving bloating, night sweats,
being easily irritated, and mood swings.

Men make their own progesterone, so they rarely have a
deficiency. That’s why men don’t have PMS and mood swings.
Women use lots of progesterone and are often deficient,
which is why PMS is increasingly common in women.

Men and women both get low on the hormone testosterone. A
woman’s level of testosterone is much less than a man’s
level, but still vital to overall health. Symptoms of low
testosterone in women are lack of motivation, extreme
fatigue after exercise (tired for 2 days), and overall
fatigue, loss of body hair and lack of interest in sex.

When a man has low testosterone, he may go into what
society calls a mid-life crisis. In reality, age 14-20 is
when males have their highest levels of testosterone. The
inability to hold an erection can also be related to heart
disease, so men need to talk to their doctor. Please don’t
look for the quick fix of erection drugs. Your body is
telling you something. Fix the source of the problem.

Interferon is another substance important to health. It is
produced when you are happy, exercising, laughing, during a
good night’s sleep and through good nutrition. This fights
disease. Interferon levels go down when a person is
depressed, opening them up for disease. This is the
substance that was working when the now famous man cured
himself through laughter while watching The Three Stooges.

So, hormones (the good ones) are vital to excellent health.
And hormones (the bad ones) can set you up for some
serious health problems.

How do you get the Good without the Bad and stay Vital?
Balance between all of the many factors that affect your
health like diet, exercise, attitude, passion, fun, family
and friends for starters.

3 Ways To Lose Weight Fast

Saturday, June 30th, 2007

==================
For most people, finding ways to lose weight is like looking
for a needle in a haystack. They seem to try just about every
single program out there but none really seem to work.

For these people, I’ve put together a short list of 3 ways to
lose weight fast.

How To Lose Weight Fast

1. Starve Yourself — Of course, this isn’t recommended for
more reasons than the few I’m about to give. You see, you can
lose weight quickly by starving yourself but much of the weight
that you lose comes in the form of either muscle mass or water.

Do you get some fat loss with this method?

Of course. But the metabolic change far outweighs any of the
benefits that might come around. This loss of muscle mass is
the primary reason most people gain all (if not more) of the
weight back. This is not a good way to lose weight.

2. Steady-State cardio — Most people begin this way of losing
weight by being a little too crazy and trying to run or walk
miles every day. However, the downfall of this method revolves
around the fact that most people’s connective tissues (tendons,
ligaments, etc), just can’t sustain the level of banging around
because it’s not used to it. Of all the ways to lose weight,
this one typically lives the person feeling more disheartened
than any other.

Other things to consider with steady-state cardio:

No afterburn effect — The metabolic benefits of steady state
cardio at a low intensity vanish relatively quickly after the
workout is over.

Sustained calorie burns reduce metabolism — This type of
behavior mimics starving yourself and your body tends to break
down muscle to overcompensate.

So what’s the best way to lose weight fast?

3. Interval Training — Out of all of the ways to lose weight,
interval training represents an awesome way to go. It’s
challenging. You get the “after burn” effect. Plus, with a
higher metabolism, your diet doesn’t have to be as strict.

If you’ve never tried interval training, here is how this way
of losing weight works.

Basically, you go fast for a short time, then slow for a short
time, fast, slow, fast, slow, until you are really breaking a
sweat.

Why should you try interval training?

Well, it doesn’t take as long… typically 10-20 minutes and
you don’t necessarily have to have any type of equipment
either.

So there you have it. Of all the ways to lose weight above,
interval training should find it’s way into your routine.

Floatron in Spain for Swimming pools & Hot Tubs

Floatron in Spain for Swimming pools & Hot Tubs
The idea behind the floatron concept is to simply combine
solar electricity which is of course at low voltage to
provide natural power with the process which creates no
harmful by products during the ionization purification
process.

What is ionization?

An ion is an atom or group of atoms that has lost or gained
one or more electrons. An atom which has lost electrons
acquires a positive charge and is known as a cation; an
atom which has gained electrons has a negative charge and
is called an anion. The process is called ionisation. Well
I am sure we all know what that means.

The Floatron unit performs as a free-floating device with
an advanced-alloy ultra pure ionizing electrode that
suspends below the waterline. We have reports of many
people using the Floatron even when they have a pool cover.

As sunlight is converted into electricity by the small
light weight photovoltaic panel, the harmless low power
current energizes an electrode, causing the release of
mineral ions into the swimming pool’s surrounding water.

During an oxidation reaction, organic molecules are changed
and dissolved metals are made no longer soluble.
Interesting is it not that these processes were used at
least as long ago as the Romans who put silver and copper
coins in their water barrels to keep the water fresh. In
America back in the days of the Wild West the wagon trains
would keep silver and copper coins in their drinking water
barrels to help purify the water. Even in British Naval
History as Lord Nelsons ships of the line also put coins
into water barrels to keep drinking water fresh.

The ionized water, referred to as mineralized water,
safely, naturally, and efficiently eliminates growth of
micro-organisms.

Nearly all North American & UK clients who have purchased
floatron have had covers on their pools their feedback has
been very positive with floatron=AE working well with the
majority of covers cover that float directly on the water.
There are two main choices firstly to open the cover enough
to float the unit, or cut a 3 inch (~7cm) “X” into the
cover which allows the electrodes to remain in the water
while the sunlight receptor is exposed to the sun.

Chlorine, tends to lose its potency within hours of its
application, also during hot summer conditions it usually
experiences a rapid and substantial loss of its performance
due to evaporation.

Unlike chlorine, mineral ions produced by the floatron do
not evaporate into the ether and in deed these Ions and the
Floatron become more effective during hot summer
conditions. It is an acknowledged fact that in warmer or
hotter outdoor temperatures Ionization process is greatly
enhanced.

The use of Floatron is not restricted to Swimming pools
they can be used in Hot Tubs also.

Spirituality Information – Journey In The Fields Of Forever ( Part 82 )

#################
As casually as you please, Gideon took the pouch and without
even opening it said, “Oh, the Ambrose Stone. Don’t tell me the
Boatman of Pondicherry was here.” His voice was so
matter-of-fact, as if this sort of thing happened everyday. I
glanced at Marla hoping she would say something to sustain my
enthusiasm, but she seemed even less amused by my news.

“That’s right, Gideon,” she said, “don’t you remember Boatman
saying something about giving the Ambrose Stone to John? But
that was quite a while back.”

“Ah, now I remember,” replied Gideon, turning to me,”of course,
John, the Ambrose Stone. You’ve wanted to have it since you were
a little boy. How could I have forgotten? You thought it would
perform miracles for you. You know, John,” he said wistfully,
“I think you might still believe the Ambrose Stone is a magic
genie.”

“Well, isn’t it? Isn’t that why this stone is legendary?” I
asked some what disappointed by their lack of appreciation.

“Oh John,” Marla replied,”don’t you know by now that the magic
is not in the stone? It’s not in the sky,the water or the
trees. The magic is in you.It’s been there all along. This
stone or crystals,icons, crosses, beads,rabbits’foot and all
other symbols are just that =97 symbols of something else,
something far superior. The magic of the Ambrose Stone is only
a reflection, and a poor one at that, of the true magic of your
being.”

My spirit fell. After all these years, I now had possession of
the magical stone only to discover that there was no magic in
the stone after all. Was my father deceived by the stories he
had heard? Was the old man who lived by the river just a tale
repeated by parents to enchant little children? And yet, it
seemed that Gideon knew the Boatman, or else knew of him. Were
there no mysteries left in the universe, no magic after all? My
facial expression changed, sinking to an image of dejection.
Pandayji patted me on the shoulder and said, “I, too, have
heard stories of this stone. Perhaps, they were only legends,
but I have heard that myths and legends have their origins in
some form of truth. Who knows, John, maybe the legends were
just over-exaggerated.”

Trends In The Wholesale And Retail Loose Leaf Tea Industry

Saturday, June 30th, 2007

#=
#################
The tea industry in the United Sates is a growth industry and
the role of retailers or value added resellers has played an
important part in the overall expansion. Value added resellers
and retailers add significant value to the tea industry as
they bundle tea offerings with quality dining and other
services but they must be supported by comprehensive wholesale
programs that are reliable , consistent and profitable.

What trends are driving the market?

In most countries in the world, tea is the second most popular
beverage after water. The one exception is tea drinking in the
United States. But the market for quality loose leaf tea has
unlimited upside potential for tea drinkers in this country.

The market for high quality loose leaf tea is experiencing
strong growth and this is expected to continue for the
foreseeable future. The growth of revenue and profits in the
value added retail sector of the market is also very strong
particularly when tea is prepared and presented as a part of a
total offering in tea rooms, fine dining establishments and
hotels.

There are a number of factors influencing this growth in loose
leaf tea demand:

=95The incredible good taste of tea and blends.

=95The health benefits of tea.

=95The wide variety of tea flavors and blends.

=95A growing awareness about the enjoyment benefits of loose leaf
tea .

=95An expansion of the value added reseller network for quality
loose tea.

=95Many consumers are looking for an alternative to coffee as a
hot or iced drink of choice.

=95Consumers are tired of the “tea bag mentality” where the taste
and quality of tea is sacrificed for the convenience of the tea
bag.

Because of a number of historic factors like the American
Revolution and other socio-economic events, the market for
loose leaf teas was stalled for over two centuries in the
United States but that is changing dramatically and rapid
growth is now a fact.

What is the biggest mistake retailers make in regards to their
tea program?

The biggest mistake that retailers make is the failure to
prepare and present tea properly.

Quality tea, served either hot or iced, is a wonderful
discriminator for any restaurant, tea room or hotel. Quality,
loose leaf tea on the menu of a high quality food establishment
will separate the retailer from the competition.

Quality tea can also serve as a profit center for the retailer
as consumers are willing to pay extra for a quality cup of hot
tea or glass of quality iced tea.

Many resellers however, have not focused on the value that tea
can bring to their Unique Selling Proposition. Through
oversight in the tea offering, many consumers are left with
lower levels of satisfaction and this is adversely affecting
retailers and their overall product offering.

For consumers, there is nothing more deflating for the total
dining experience than a bad cup of tea, offered without
consideration to the consumer. At the close of an otherwise
ideal meal experience costing in excess of $100.00 per person,
customer satisfaction can be ruined by simple oversight. This
happens time and again as tea drinkers, expecting a quality
brew are slighted by a saucer with tea bags mixed with a cup or
bowl of warm tap water.

Ending a meal this way is a good way to loose customers to the
competition.

Advice to retailers to maximize their tea program

High quality loose leaf tea can play an important part in a
retailer’s business. As the demand for quality loose leaf tea
expands, retailers should :

=95Understand the tea culture and the role of tea in growing your
business

=95Use only the highest quality loose leaf tea.

=95Train your staff to prepare and present both hot and iced tea
in a quality manner.

=95Offer the customer the best tea ware (tea infusers and pots)
to complete the presentation.

=95Include quality tea as part of you Unique Value Proposition
and product/service offering.

Things to keep in mind for new retailers

The most important thing is to deal with a tea manufacturer
that offers a total benefit program to the retailer including:

=95Highest quality, best tasting tea backed up by superior
packaging and a no questions asked guarantee of quality.

=95Dedicated customer support with staff knowledgeable about tea
and the tea business (not just taking orders)

=95Multiple-tier wholesale pricing. with volume based discounts.

=95Easy ordering and order lookup.

=95Unlimited shipping locations per order.

=95Single point of billing for multiple locations.

=95Automatic recall of locations and recipients.

Value added tea resellers and retailers add significantly to
the tea industry but they also need quality wholesale programs
to support their value added efforts. Retailers should seek out
the best tea suppliers that meet their value added requirements.

Tea: What Are Multiple Tea Infusions?

Saturday, June 30th, 2007

==================
The people of China have been drinking tea for more than 5,000
years and have learned a significant amount about loose leaf
tea during that time.

The Chinese perfected processing of the Camellia sinensis plant
and the development of different types of tea. The also
developed the proper infusion methods that guarantee a perfect
cup of tea.

Today, many Chinese and other tea drinkers throughout the tea
drinking world, utilize multiple infusion of whole tea leafs as
a quality, cost effective way to enjoy tea. The concept of
multiple infusions means that high quality whole leaf tea is
infused with pure water more than once but the resulting tea
drink does not loose any flavor or body.

It is truly an economical way to enjoy a quality tea experience
and multiple infusions reduce the cost of high quality loose
leaf tea dramatically.

What is Required for Multiple Tea Infusions?

Multiple infusions of any quality require high quality whole
leaf tea and pure water.

High Quality Tea:

Whole leaf tea that is raised by a premier tea garden and
properly plucked at the most opportune time is a minimum
requirement for multiple infusions. After plucking, the tea
must be processed by the time honored orthodox method where the
integrity of the leaf is maintained.

Teas processed by the mechanized CTC (cut, tear, curl) method
used in most tea bags will not support quality multiple
infusions. It is impossible to produce multiple infusions from
most tea bags or low quality loose leaf tea without suffering
significant degrading of taste and body.

Pure Water:

Most tap or well water sources today contain contaminants that
not only ruin the taste of quality loose leaf tea but are also
harmful to your long term health. Many bottled waters are also
unfit to produce a quality cup of tea.

When selecting a water to brew tea, try purified water produced
by the distillation/oxygenation method that produces purified
water with a light fresh taste.

Conclusion:

If you enjoy a fine cup of tea and want to get the best value
when you purchase tea, look for tea made with the highest
quality leaves that are plucked and processed in the orthodox
way, This will offer you multiple infusions of your favorite
tea and significantly reduce the cost.

Add purified water and your tea drinking satisfaction will be
guaranteed. After 5,000 years the Chinese tea drinkers cannot
be wrong!

Essential Carnation Oils Have Many Health Benefits

Saturday, June 30th, 2007

==================
Essential carnation oils can introduce a sense of calm into
your stressed life. The science of Aromatherapy utilizes oils
that are extracted from various natural items that are found on
the planet. Some of those items that are used in this
therapeutic process include leaves, roots, flowers, spices,
etc. These essential oils emit the captured fragrance of the
