Why Is Body Detoxification Important?

By Ira Goldberg

Our world is much more polluted than it used to be and everyday our bodies are bombarded with toxins and other harmful substances. Our bodies have extremely good methods to deal with toxins, but sometimes they do need help. And this is where detox comes in. Detox is a way to give your body a chance so that it can clean itself of unwanted substances.

How are toxins naturally eliminated from the body? They are eliminated through the major detox or eliminatory organs: the skin, the kidneys, the lymph, the colon, and especially the liver. But when this organs become overworked, which in today's world usually happens, toxins are not properly eliminated and they start accumulating in the body.

Toxin build up can produce many problems. They may include: frequent headaches, fatigue, irritable bowel, slow digestive system, bloating, constipation, nausea, coated tongue, bad breath, skin conditions, body pains, coughs, even depression and anxiety.

Luckily, there are ways to help our body's natural detoxification processes. Periods of cleansing will give your body a chance to detoxify and focus on more important things like restoring health and repairing the damage.

People who used detoxification methods report many benefits such as increased energy, improved mental clarity, clearer skin, improved immune system, weight loss, improved digestion, and overall better health and well-being.

Many detoxification methods are available today, from mild to extreme. One of the most simple and very popular is a method called The Master Cleanser. This method, also known as The Lemonade Diet, was written in 1941 by Stanley Burroughs and continues to be popular and effective to this day.

A detox is one of the easiest ways to regain your health and vitality. With little determination it can be done by anyone. Remember - "He who has health, has hope. And he who has hope, has everything. - 17273

Workout For Your Upper Body

By Ryse Edwards

Coming up with the right body building workout for your upper body is important. You must be able to know your limits and what you are able to do without hurting yourself. You must also know your body well enough to recognize when you can push yourself that extra bit to reach new limits in your workout.

When working out your upper body, there are several muscles to consider. There is the shoulders, back, chest, biceps and triceps. There are several different workouts you can do for each muscle allowing you to switch up your routine from time to time. So let's get right into it.

Make sure that you do not workout the same muscles two days in a row. Your muscles need a day to rest and repair. You can split up the areas that you workout if you want. For example, one day you could work on your biceps and triceps, then the next day you could work on your back and chest.

For your chest, you can do a flat bench press, incline bench press, decline bench press, flat bench dumbbell flyes, and much more. It is all about finding what suites you best.

Some back workouts to consider include bent over rowing, lat machine pull downs, dead lifts, shrugs and hyper extensions. As you begin to look at a body building workout for your back, it is important you pay close attention to form. The smallest slip-up can have you out for weeks with a back injury.

The next day when you work on your shoulders, biceps and triceps, you may want to consider doing shrugs, a seated dumbbell press, side lateral raises and alternate front dumbbell raises for your shoulders.

When you workout your biceps, you can try to do some alternate dumbbell curls, standing barbell curls, incline dumbbell curls or some preacher curls. Preacher curls are simply curls that involve the use of a preacher bench.

The last part of your upper Bodybuilding workout is your triceps. For your triceps you can do standing cable press downs, triceps bench dips, overhead rope extensions and one arm dumbbell extensions.

For all of the exercises mentioned above, make sure that you fully understand how to do them properly first. Poor form will not only keep you from gaining muscle, but it can lead to serious injury too. - 17273

The 6 Week Body Makeover Scam

By Rico Kidd

The 6 Week Body Makeover is not a diet, it's a program that re-teaches you how to eat so that you lose weight and stay thin for the rest of your life. Many people are too quick when judging a program and will shout out "scam!" if they do not lose weight (or lose weight at slower rate than what the plan states).

So what do you do when you think something is a scam? Well you Google it of course! You will see a variety of websites and hundreds of complaints about this program when you Google the term "6 Week Body Makeover Scam". I have decided to write this article to clear up some notions about this "scam" diet and clear up misconceptions.

This article will give a fair review of the product. I consider myself an un-biased third party as I am not advertising anything, nor want to sell you any weight loss products. The only thing I want from you is an open-mind and a willingness to learn that not everything that people complain about is true.

When one un-happy person writes that this product is a scam, it turns-off thousand customers from trying this product and potentially losing a lot of weight. Negative reviews are powerful ways to dissuade people from buying or trying any products or services. I've realized that in our society people are always going to find something to complain about, no matter how perfect or good a product or service is.

I have read a lot of complaints and the majority of them state that they in fact lost weight on the program. I am confused why they would complain when the program did its intended purpose. One of the major complaints was that the diet was too restrictive and that people left the diet because it was "too much, too fast". Yes, the diet is restrictive in the fact that you aren't allowed to eat sweets and junk-food. This program is intended for people who are willing and wanting to lose weight. You should try another diet if you want to diet slowly and lose a little weight over a long period of time.

The overall program is intended for you to lose weight by confusing your metabolism into thinking that food is abundant, therefore it should burn calories faster. The way to do this is by filling out the body blue print questionnaire, determining your body type and planning your meals according to your body's needs.

Other people complain that all they lost was water weight and that they gained all the weight back once they left the program. What they don't tell you is that they started eating unhealthy again and went back to their old eating habits. People are not victims when it comes to weight loss and weight gain. You ultimately make the decision of whether or not you will lose weight or gain weight. No one is forcing that donut into your mouth. - 17273

Give Your Old Bones An Overhaul

By Ivan Girevoy

A normal aspect of aging is the general weakening of muscle tissue and bones throughout the body. A sure way to reduce the stress on our weakening bones is to increase our muscle mass through strength training. EVERYONE can get a benefit from strength training no matter what age.

Strength training is a safe and effective method of reversing muscle loss in the elderly. This muscle loss is called sarcopenia. This condition actually begins around forty five years of age. At that time, the average person's muscle mass begins to decline at the rate of about one percent per year.

Due to the natural deterioration of the body. Strength training is a important aspect of senior physical exercise routines. Strength training helps prevent the breakdown of healthy muscle, tissue and bones. Strength training also strengthens connective tissues(ligaments) around the muscles and joints.

The stronger a person's body is. The less chance of an injury occurring from an accident. A stronger body will be more resistant to virus related illnesses. You recover faster, feel better, sleep more soundly...the benefits are endless.

Recent findings show that positive impacts of a twelve week strength training program. In a group of volunteers with the joint disease osteoarthritis. Muscle strength increase by 14 percent and balanced improve fifty five percent after the 12 week program.

Another group of volunteers with chronic kidney disease using the same twelve week program also had some profound results. These volunteers on low protein diets, still increased their muscle fiber by thirty two percent and muscle strength by thirty percent after training. This was in contrast to those who did not train. This group about nine pounds or three percent of their body weight.

When it comes to strength training there are generally two types that are taught. These are body sculpting and body building. Body sculpting is the best form of trailing for seniors. This form seems to fill their needs. Body sculpting theory generally speaks to the ability of women to add about five pounds of muscle mass. Men will ad about ten pounds of muscle mass. this form of training is not about getting "bulked up". It is more focused on increasing the muscles you use on a daily basis in your everyday life.

The best part is you don't have to used heavy weights...and in some cases no weights at all. (I know of a 88 year old man who trains using two large cans of beans from the grocery store.)

Weight training should be done in very short sessions. Not only does excess work out time reduces the body building aspects of the work out. To start no more the two exercises or 15 minutes if your new to working out or are over the age of 75 when you start.

Work outs should be done in very short sessions for the best results. When weight training seeks to workout twice per week with two days rest among each session. - 17273
