Based on Traditional Chinese herbs and medicine and American nutrition the following foods were selected for their known enhancement of sports performance. Martial artists, monks and adept sages have advanced the practice of life-extension, spirituality and revitalizing practices over the countless centuries.These strategies are very effective because I have added them in exercise regimen of martial arts.

SUPER FOODS FOR SUPERIOR ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE

If you want to turn out to be strong, eat carbohydrates before your workout and eat plenty of protein afterwards. Normal amounts of insulin help muscles grow, and eating carbohydrates causes your blood sugar to rise, which, in turn, causes your pancreas to release insulin. Taking in large amounts of protein after a workout helps muscles to recover faster from hard exercise, so you can do more hard work and grow larger and stronger muscles (Journal of Physiology, Volume 573, 2006).

Losing Weight by a Nutrition Calorie Counter

Written by Announcement Author on Tuesday, November 24th, 2009 in Fitness, Health and Medicine.

One of the very most important nutritional properties to look for when trying to lose weight is the calorie count of foods. If you eat more than your body can burn for fuel in the short term the rest will be stored as fat, so the classic weight loss balancing act lives on. Eat too little, and your metabolism will slow, with the possibility that you could actually gain weight if you eat too little because your body won’t be processing food as quickly. You will see fast improvements in your body by allowing your nutrition calorie counter to balance out your calories so you eat the right amount to lose weight.

Beyond Just a Diet

Whether your goal is weight loss or just to tone up, dieting is only half of the equation. A nutrition calorie counter can help you shed those excess pounds, but it won’t tone your muscles for you. Therefore, you’ll still need to exercise. This doesn’t mean you have to spend long hours in the gym. You can still exercise by simply walking half an hour daily, doing some straining chores around the house, and mowing the lawn. An exercise chart can help you determine how much weight you’re losing through exercise, but exercise in itself won’t be enough either. It is easier than you may think to combine a healthy diet and regular exercise.

Many restaurant chains offer nutrition calorie counters for customers online, although most don’t offer it in the restaurants themselves anymore. This is a vital tool that can keep you on track even if you eat out a lot or need to go out for a special meal. If you know you’re heading out, check nutrition calorie counters online before going out to eat, and you can make a smart choice when deciding what to eat.

It is even easier to stay on plan if you enjoy cooking your own meals at home. A recipe nutrition calculator can help you create some of the healthiest meals ever, balancing all of the ingredients to give you the best combination of vitamins, minerals, calories, protein, sugar, and all other nutritional properties. This type of calculator goes far beyond what a simple nutrition calorie counter offers, but it will also take more time to determine how healthy a meal is. You can make your body a fat burning machine if you combine strength building exercise with both of these dieting tools all at once.

Don’t Miss This! Want To Finally Get Rid Of Chronic Arm Pain?

Written by Announcement Author on Sunday, November 8th, 2009 in Fitness, Health and Medicine.

Arm pain is a very painful, with multiple sets of inflammation conditions (100), progressively leading to joint damage, deformity and loss of mobility. Swelling of extremity joints is the hallmark of the syndrome. Chronic pain, disability and death are unfortunate results.

Joint inflammation has an estimated prevalence of 1 to 2%. Prevalence increases with age, approaching 5% in women over age 55. The average annual incidence in the United States is about 70 per 100,000 annually. Rheumatoid arthritis occurs two to three times more in women than in men. Although rheumatoid arthritis may present at any age, patients most commonly are first affected in the third to sixth decades.

Joint inflammation, collectively affect nearly 46 million adults and 300,000 children in the U.S. It is not selective. All are vulnerable to this condition. Every joint inflammatory condition affects the musculoskeletal structures and particularly the joints – wherever two or more bones meet.

Joint inflammation problems include:

  • pain
  • stiffness
  • inflammation
  • damage to joint cartilage (the tough, smooth tissue that covers the ends of the bones, enabling them to glide against one another) and surrounding structures.

In these conditions, joint inflammation can cause damage to virtually any bodily organ or system, including the heart, lungs, kidneys, blood vessels and skin. Pain-associated conditions principally influence the muscles and the bones.

Joint inflammation and related conditions are a major cause of disability in the U.S, costing more than $124 billion per year such as:

  • lost wages
  • production
  • millions of people lose their health, physical abilities and independence.
  • growing toll on on the health system as people age
  • reduced coverage by employer’s insurance

  

Arm Joint Inflammation - Underlying Cause & Relief 

With graduating arm joint inflammation conditions, the majority of cases (90%) will be seen with cold sensations at the site of pain. 10% of cases are seen with hot to touch joints and related tissues. The primary appraoch in Chinese medicine is to counter the hot condition with cold methods to achieve a neutral state. This neutral state optimizes the general joint environment where the obstruction (from mucus to mass) is able to gradually move. The opposite is true for cold conditions. Heat in the form of traditional Chinese herbs will alter the joint environment by establishing neutrality. Improved circulation and energy results in progressively removing toxicity (unflitered blood, de-oxygenated blood, unnatural tissue). The obstructive process may be slight to severe in mass however in every single case, to eliminate the interference, herbal formulas have to to respond to the causal condition before the barrier can transform. Additionally, dietary recommendations would follow this same logic to support the corrective action.

Additional attention needs to be given to the general emotional state that may indirectly support the blockage. Particularly, the irrational beliefs that contribute to the person remaining in stressful states rather than relaxing as needed for recovery.Individuals focussed on their health understand their boundaries and support a restorative lifestyle.   

 

Arm Relief from Traditional Chinese Herbs   

This formula is a historical compound dating back over a thousand years. Since the initial primary formula has endured the long-term scrutiny there is no question regarding efficacy.

Benefits:

  1. Alleviates pain in the fingers, up the arms through the neck
  2. Restores natural feeling and muscle sensation
  3. Revitalizes the extremities with emphasis on the upper limbs
  4. Restores circulation, opening the capillaries supplying the absent nutrition
  5. By invigorating the circulation, cold and phlegm in the upper extremities is moved out.
  6. Regulates the transfer of body fluid lessening built up obstructed dampness.
  7. Evacuates pathogenic fluid in the vessels supporting shoulders and neck
  8. Eliminates joint inflammation complaints restoring normal movement

The cause of inflammation of the arm joints has been determined with millions of sufferers benefitting over the last 300+ years of Chinese medicine history.

Although this pain compound recovers the lethargic condition, an individual’s ailing state is significantly sustained when the unwell modify their life lifestyle. The body’s natural state is to be healthy. The Creator has encoded within our body the miraculous capability of healing itself and we have a choice to be apart of the endeavor.

  • Sleep (ideally): adults (10-6:30pm), adolescents (9:30-6:30pm), children 8:30-6:30pm
  • Eating: Regular times, lower caloric content, adjusting as we get older depending on body type
  • Exercise: Regular 3xs per week (1 hr.), adjusting rigor with age & health

When an individual can define their current constitution and then choose a strategy that balances their body type back to neutral and then achieve that center, the individual’s relief shines all over their being. Breath of life and a reasons to smile come back. Many of the alternative medicine strategies (Traditional Chinese Herbs) deserve further look for their simplicity yet effective results as is the case in this formula.

Cause of Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

Written by Announcement Author on Sunday, November 8th, 2009 in Fitness, Health and Medicine.

No one will give you a specific cause of IBS. IBS is a motility disorder some experts say.  An oversensitive or hyperactive gut is another possible cause of IBS. and the gut will react to changes influenced by food, hormones and stress.

Typically the bowel habit in IBS becomes chaotic. There is no surprised, therefore that it is considered a motility disorder. The transit time from ingestion of food to excretion is abnormal.

In diarrhoea the transit time is faster and in constipation it is slower. There are two types of IBS, diarrhoea predominant and constipation predominant. In some cases constipation and diarrhoea alternate. Stools in IBS can vary from hard pellets to watery and unformed.

Some say there is a link between diet and IBS.
Certain foods will trigger IBS symptoms. Just eating food stimulates intestinal muscle activity. This is a normal action and the most common is the Gastro colic reflex. This reflex is strongest after breakfast. Gastro-Colic reflex in IBS is strongest after fatty or large meals. This results in abdominal pains and or diarrhoea.

Food is not a cause of IBS but can trigger symptoms.

One suggestion is that it is a brain-gut disorder. The gut has a complex network of brain cells called the Enteric Nervous System. This “Brain of the Gut” is connected to the Brain. To understand IBS, experts think you need to understand how the Enteric Nervous System works.

The Gut has the richest supply of serotonin in the body. This chemical is closely connected to the nervous system. At present a lot of research is focused on gut serotonin receptors.

Contractions of the smooth muscles of the gut are affected by serotonin. High serotonin levels are found in diarrhoea and low levels in constipation.

Psychological factors such as anxiety, stress and depression can affect the gut. Trauma suc h as physical, sexual and emotional abuse can affect the gut. In IBS, records show a higher incidence of such trauma. Addressing these issues may produce better long term results.

Gastroenteritis as a cause of IBS: IBS can develop is 20-30% of cases of severe gastro-enteritis. Escherichia coli, Salmonella shigella and Camplobacter jejuni are the most common organisms involved. Serotonin levels in gastro-enteritis is very high and in cases that develop IBS this high level continues.

In some women, symptoms fluctuate during the menstrual cycle. The two hormones that control the menstrual cycle are oestrogen and progesterone. These hormones can affect the colon and the passage of residue along the gut. In some women IBS is worse at certain stage of their cycle.

Yeast according to Prof. Jonathan Bostoff of The Meddlesex Hospital could be a possible cause of IBS. These patients have reduced levels of friendly bacteria, Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria in their large bowel. This results in overgrowth of Candida.

Issues with problem teeth:

Crowded Teeth Issues for Your Health and Fitness: This can happen when there is simply a lack of room within your jaw for all of your teeth to fit normally. If you have overcrowded teeth problems and don’t take care of them, you could find yourself with dental decay, increasing the chance of gum disease and prevent normal teeth growth.
Wider spaced teeth: Occurs when abnormal growth continues as the jaw bone grows. When you have missing teeth, this problem may also be caused by the other teeth shifting due to extra space. Spacing issues in teeth can cause some periodontal diseases.

Overbite Health Issues: What people commonly refer to as an “overbite” is known to dental professionals as “overjet.This occures when the upper teeth over bite the lower teeth. This is typically caused by genetics, bad oral habits, or over development of the jaw bone supporting the teeth. This may result in gum problems and irritation, and also wear on the lower teeth that can cause painful jaw and joint problems.

Corrective Underbite Health Issues: This occurs when the lower teeth protrude past the front teeth. It’s usually caused by undergrowth of the upper jaw, overgrowth of the lower jaw, or both. When missing some upper teeth, this can also happen. This problem can slow down the normal function of your front teeth or molars which can lead to tooth wear. You may also get painful jaw and joint problems.

Crossbite Health Issues: This occurs when the upper and lower jaws are both misaligned. It causes one or more upper teeth to bite on the inside of the lower teeth, and can happen on both the front and/or the sides of the mouth. This problem can cause wear on your teeth, create gum disease, and promote bone loss.
