Reduce Fat lose weight:
Avoid the obvious such as fried foods, (i.e. pork, bacon, ham, salami, ribs and sausage). Dairy products such as cheese, cottage cheese, milk and cream should be eaten in low fat versions. sandwich meats, mayonnaise, margarine, butter and sauces should be eaten in limited amounts. Most are available in lower fat versions such as substitute butter, fat free cheeses and mayonnaise. Be a Lean, mean, fat-burning machine….
Count calories lose weight Any diet program that tells you, "calories don't count" or you can "eat all the food you want and still lose weight" is a diet you should avoid. The truth is, that line is a bunch of baloney designed to make a diet sound easier to follow. Anything that sounds like work - such as counting calories, eating less or exercising - tends to scare away potential customers! But the law of calorie balance is an unbreakable law of physics: Energy in versus energy out dictates whether you will gain, lose or maintain your weight. Period.
Weight loss and calorie counting
Weight Loss may reduce the Risk getting Gout
Fast way to lose lbs. When doing your cardio try to maintain a higher heart rate of about 70% to 75% of your maximum heart rate for 45 to 60 minutes, (leave the magazine at home) the higher your heart rate the more calories you burn. You must work if you really want to lose weight and get fit. Over the years I've seen many people on the Stairmaster reading their magazine, moving about as fast has a pregnant snail. Then after about six months of not breaking a sweat they wonder why they are not getting any results.(You must sweat to lose weight. What heats you up slims you down). Always consult your doctor before starting any fitness program.
Weigh to go
New York – A new study shows that stepping on a scale every day. And adjusting eating and exercise habits accordingly, can go a long way in helping dieters maintain their weight loss. “If you want to keep lost pounds off, daily weighing in critical,” Said Dr.Rena R Wing in the new England journal of Medicine.
The right kind of exercise to build a strong heart
Heart attacks don't happen due to a lack of endurance. They typically come about when a person is either at rest or when there's a sudden, sizable demand on the heart. Heart attacks often strike when someone lifts a heavy object, has sex, or experiences an unexpected emotional blow. For one reason or another, the oxygen supply to the heart can't keep up with a change in demand.
The right kind of exercise builds the heart's ability to respond effectively to these demands. You can indeed increase both your heart's maximal capacity and its speed at increasing its output to respond to demand. Yet long-duration exercise does not help you do this. In fact, it has the opposite effect by forcing the heart to become smaller and more efficient. The body trades the ability to handle big demands for the ability to go farther.
Studies have demonstrated that short-duration exercise improves cardiovascular health more than long-duration exercise. A recent Harvard study found that men who performed long-duration exercise reduced their risk of heart disease by 10 percent, while those who exercised in repeated shorter bouts reduced their heart disease risk by 20 percent 1. In other words, the men who did high-intensity, interval exercise reduced their heart disease risk by 100 percent more than those who did endurance exercise.

Heart Rate: Depending on your age, level of conditioning, and your fitness goals, you should train in a particular heart-rate zone. Beginners should try to elevate their heart rate to 50%-60% of their maximum, intermediates and advanced should aim for 70%-85% of their max. The higher your heart rate, the more calories you will burn and the more weight you will lose and become fit. To figure your maximum heart rate, simply subtract your age from 220 for a man and 226 for woman. For example, if you're 40 years old, you would have a maximum heart rate of 180. To work at 85% of your maximum heart rate, you would aim for a heart rate of approximately 153 beats per minute (0.85 x 180). You can also count bpm (beats per minute) in 10-second increments and then multiply by six.
Please Note: maximum heart rate varies from person to person. the above figures are just simple guides.
Determining Maximum Heart Rate
Heart rate training requires you to know your maximum heart rate.
The physiological test to exhaustion is the proper way to determine your maximum heart rate. a more practical test for estimating heart rate is the maximal hill run.
To perform this test you need the following:
- A heart rate monitor
- A hill approximately a 10-percent incline and 600 - 800 metres long. It should take you 3 - 5 minutes to climb the hill at your maximal pace.
- The conviction that you can push yourself to maximum exertion. it is difficult, but you only need to do it once. plan on doing a high-quality, high-performance workout that is quickly over.
Pot and java brain food?
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Marijuana may help reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease by reducing inflammation in the brain, researchers reported. Tests on rats showed a compound in marijuana stopped the loss of brain cells seen in inflammation and improved the animals' memories. The findings, presented to the society for Neuroscience in Atlanta, may help explain studies that suggest people who regularly smoked marijuana in the 1960s and 1970s are now less likely than their peers to develop the disease. And caffeine may have similar effects, said Gary Wenk, a professor of psychology at Ohio State University. "We are not going to ... suggest that people start smoking marijuana," Wenk said, adding researchers need to narrow down the compounds having the effect.
While we are ruining our bodies by overeating , our bad food choices May increase the risk of getting Alzheimer's
