The Mystic History of Acai Berry

Caitin Ryan » 24 March 2009 » In Weight Loss » No Comments

Are you looking for ways to improve your health through nutrition? Have you thought about looking in the Brazilian rainforest for the answer? You do not have to book a flight because a miracle fruit from this mystical region is now available to all of us in various acai berry products. You are going to love what this super fruit can do for your health!

Acai (pronounced Ah-SIGH-ee) berries have become quite popular in the past few years, but the people of the Brazilian rainforest have long revered this gorgeous purple fruit that grows on a palm tree.

Folklore tells the tale of an Amazon Indian girl named Iaca whose father was the tribal chief. The tribe had become too large and soon, there was not enough food to feed everyone. The tribal chief ordered that any child born needed to be sacrificed. His daughter was the first to give birth after this decree, but the chief showed no mercy for the sake of the whole tribe.

Iaca desperately mourned her child. One night, she thought she heard the cries of her baby. She ran in the rainforest to where she thought she heard the cries, but she only found a new palm tree. She lay under the tree and died from a broken heart.

The tribe discovered Iaca and noticed that the new tree had purple berries plentiful enough and nutritious enough to sustain the entire tribe. The tribal chief said that the newborns would now be spared death and he named the berries Acai (Iaca spelled backwards) after his daughter.

Interesting story, but the real miracle of the amazing acai berry is what we now know about it through scientific study. The acai berry contains essential amino acids, omega 3 fatty acids and super antioxidants.

Antioxidants are all capable of fighting cancer by fighting free radicals that damage cells and are the prelude to cancer and the aging process. The super antioxidant in acai berries that gives the berries their royal purple color is called anthocyanin. This super antioxidant has been found to slow and stop the growth of tumors. Antioxidants are also necessary for repairing damaged cells and replenishing tissue.

Free radical damage is also responsible for the aging process, so acai berries are capable of fighting premature aging at the cellular level.

In addition to other powerful antioxidant, acai berries have an unusual plant characteristic. Only animal protein contains a complete source of essential amino acids, but acai berries come pretty close! This makes them an excellent source of protein without the damaging effects of saturated fat also found in animal protein.

Acai berries do not contain saturated fat, but they do contain the good fat, omega 3 fatty acids which can lower LDL (bad cholesterol)and raise HDL (good cholesterol) making them excellent (just like fish) in preventing cardiovascular disease.

If you are searching for ways to optimize your health, prevent disease and slow the aging process, there are many ways to incorporate acai berries into your diet. There are supplements made from natural acai berry extract, powders that can be blended in smoothies and pre-made smoothies.

Make sure you do not fall prey to acai juice that is mostly corn syrup and chemicals.

Summer Is Almost Here, Lose 10 Pounds Fast

Michelle Johnson » 23 March 2009 » In Weight Loss » No Comments

If I’m neither slender nor fit, what can I do? That’s why the question is more than legitimate: How can I lose 10 pounds? 10 pounds just to begin with. I searched the web and looked through some books written by dieticians and I found out that it is possible to get rid of this weight. Certain harsh diets can even help you wipe out the weight in seven days only.

In doing my research I have found some helpful tips that you might find as useful as I did when the question – How can I lose 10 pounds? – as I started to get obsessed with it. Think for instance how many liquids you drink per day, hydration is vital for diets. An average person should drink about 200 gallons of liquid a year that usually include lots of soda, ice tea, and milk. What is left to 200 is made of other kinds of drinks like tea, coffee, and wine.

A change in the drinking habits could bring a chance to lose weight. Drink in order to fulfill your needs not your pleasure. It’s not that I am suggesting drinking only water but reconsider the way you drink liquids and the quantities of liquids you take in daily. You should also have in mind that liquids can also act as food or hunger inhibitors. A pulpy juice will alleviate not only thirst but hunger too, while also bringing nutrients to the body. Although the liquid-based diet could seem rather rough, try to focus on its long-term effects. You will get free of 35,456 calories in one month only. And this is close to the 10 pounds in your question. A natural fat burner is tea, on the condition you drink the right tea. Green tea seems to accelerate the caloric burn as it contains a certain substance that raises the metabolic rate within your body. You would be amazed to find out that green tea is able to free you of 5,000 calories within 4 weeks of use.

And again: how can I lose 10 pounds? Other people claim that you can do it easily without any stress. But some overweight suffers claim the need for self honesty. Such an approach tells you to set a realistic weight loss related to the ideal weight and how to reach it. Take it one step at a time don’t set your goal to be too over the top that will only make reaching your goal the more harder. Last but not least you must increase your physical activity. If you take the elevator start taking the steps, park your car further away from entrance in stores. Any extra physical activity will help.

How would you like to be skinny and stay skinny? How many times have you been on a diet only for the weight to come back again? It’s not much fun, is it? So, what’s the secret of how to get skinny and stay skinny?

Everybody chooses a diet when they want to lose weight because they really don’t know what else to do. All the advertisements say that their diet is the best. Will it be Atkins or Mediterranean or some new fad diet? There are so many to choose from. Is it sensible to trust a new diet?

The problem with all diets is that from the outside they all appear to be utterly convincing. They can make you skinny. They can make you skinny in the blink of an eye…and it’s so easy, you don’t even have to try too hard either. It’s all too good to be true.

There has been a lot of discussion about diets and whether they work or not. Do they work? The answer isn’t a straightforward one. You can lose weight going on a diet except that the weight you lose will be short-term weight loss – short-term in that the weight will come back again. Is this what you want? Is it what anybody wants? Very unlikely!

The only true way to lose weight permanently is to make change. If you don’t change the ways that have made you fat, then you will never lose weight . It’s that simple.

If you want to make change, the best way is to learn new habits, slim habits. By learning new habits you can change your behavior and achieve permanent weight loss. It’s not difficult to do and the rewards for making change are huge. It will enable you to say goodbye to diets forever…what could be better than that?

Exercises That Can Help You Burn More Calories

Publishing Editor » 07 March 2009 » In Weight Loss » No Comments

Health experts say that not all exercises we are familiar of right now are created equal. There are some exercises created to help in muscle building but there are also some exercises created to help complete fitness regimen and at the same time to help in burning calories.

Of course if you are into a weight loss venture, the exercises you must be more familiar of are those that help complete fitness regimen and at the same time help in burning calories. These exercises will target your cardio area and muscles which is really essential in keeping you fit and free from any excess fats. These exercises actually include walking, squats and lunges.

Walking is the simplest form of exercise you can have in your program. You can do this anytime, anywhere and with no equipment at all. Walking is a very effective exercise. With walking, you won’t only get a healthy heart but also get good, reasonable weight. With walking you can burn a lot of calories with less effort. In fact, according to a one health expert, a brisk walk can burn up to 500 calories an hour.

Squats on the other hand are believed by some health experts to be a must-have in any program which goal is to keep body fit. Mainly, doing several squats a day can help strengthen muscles which later can be essential in keeping body fit through burning of calories. From a health expert’s point of view, the stronger your muscles will be, the better capacity you have to burn calories. Thus, including some squats a day in your program is significant.

Finally, lunges like squats work mainly on the muscles. Specifically, lunges work on the lower part of the body. Like doing several squats a day, doing several lunges a day can help strengthen muscles which can be essential in keeping body fit through burning of calories. However, doing several lunges a day can be a bit complicated as lunges are more advanced version of squats. But then with doing some lunges a day, you will not only stay fit but you will also get the chance to improve your balance by which is really a good thing.

Does Wu Yi Tea Help You Lose Weight?

Caitlin Ryan » 21 February 2009 » In Weight Loss Diet » No Comments

You want to lose weight, look fantastic and feel great, but weight loss can be a difficult endeavor. If you want to lose weight with less effort, there is a way.

An oolong tea is grown in the Chinese Wu Yi Mountain range can help you lose weight and feel great with less effort. Camellia sinensis it the plant from which all tea is derived. Black tea, green tea and oolong tea are all picked from this plant and then treated differently to produce different characteristics. Oolong has a milder flavor than green tea.

So, how does tea aid in weight loss? An ancient Chinese slimming secret, tea contains powerful antioxidants called catechins. The most powerful catechin in tea is EGCG which has been proven in studies to help people lose weight for four reasons: Increases metabolism; Increases energy; Blocks fat absorption; Gets rid of excess water weight.

Does drinking tea work alone? No. There is no such thing as a magic bullet in the weight loss world no matter how bold the claims. Without proper diet and exercise, weight loss is impossible. However, that is not to say that you should not drink tea.

Proven as an effective weight loss aid in numerous studies, EGCG can help you burn fat for a longer time after you exercise making your exercise efforts more efficient. Weight loss may be more difficult without this added benefit. It can be difficult to find time to exercise, so it is important that you maximize your efforts every time you do find time.

There are other reasons to drink oolong tea. The antioxidants in tea are highly beneficial to the body in promoting optimum health. The Chinese have used tea for centuries as a means to prevent aging and fight disease. In very little time, you will begin to feel better as you continue the weight loss program.

We cannot avoid free radical exposure. The damage that free radicals incur on the body at the cellular level is at the root of premature aging, cardiovascular disease, hormonal imbalance and cancer. Free radicals can be neutralized by oolong tea.

Free radicals need to be neutralized by antioxidants so that they cannot incur damage to your body. The damaged cells also need antioxidants for the repair process. Oolong tea can optimize overall health and improve your body on the inside and out because of the antioxidants it contains.

We tend to consume beverages without thinking about their caloric or nutritional content. Just by replacing an unhealthy, calorie laden, sugary drink with nutritious oolong tea, you may end up cutting more than 300 calories a day without even thinking about it. This can help promote fast weight loss and better overall health in a very simple way.

Companies are scamming customers with bogus free trials that result in a fraudulent charge to your credit card due to an auto-shipment.

You have time to make this dream a reality. The only thing you need is a great six-pack ab program!

You might think this is impossible based on past experiences. You probably just did not know how to get a six pack and made two common mistakes. Did you do hundreds of sit-ups and order every ab machine? That is one common mistake people make when trying to achieve six pack abs.

Well, the sit-ups are not going to work and you may as well plan to put the expensive, fancy ab machine out at your first garage sale! The problem is that no matter how much you build and firm your abdominal muscles, you will not be able to see them under the fat! You cannot spot-train your abdominal muscles and obtain a six-pack.

Maybe you fell prey to the other big mistake. Did you follow a very restrictive diet, do cardio like crazy and lose weight, only to be disappointed when you did not look quite like a fitness model in your bikini or board shorts?

Your metabolism was lowered and your body began to store more fat. The physical demands you placed on your body doing hours of cardio also helped you deplete lean body mass! This results in a skinny fat look, not a ripped, lean, healthy look.

The end result? You work your tail off only to still be embarrassed on the beach! I would rather work the right way and achieve a gorgeous, chiseled, six-pack!

The Truth About Six Pack Abs can help you achieve the gorgeous, six-pack abs and lean, chiseled physique you desire. Michael teaches you everything you need to know AND gives you the tools you need. This abs program is not a magical, overnight transformation (nothing that really works EVER is), so you do not want to wait too much longer to get started.

Though following a good nutrition and exercise program will take a bit of time, it does not have to be a painful experience like starving yourself or doing ineffective, back-breaking sit-ups. This six pack ab program is genius BECAUSE it offers solutions that can be tailored to your life. Before you know it, you will start to see that belly fat disappearing and the early signs of six-pack abs. The food is tasty and the exercises are efficient so they take less time.

Here is a hot tip from The Truth about Six Pack Abs! By adding green tea or oolong tea to your daily menu, you will be able to burn fat longer after completing a workout session. The antioxidant in these teas (EGCG) helps you accomplish this and maximize your workout efforts!

The exercise and nutrition program to achieve six pack abs will also help you achieve beautiful overall physique so that you will look awesome on the beach!

I would love to have six pack abs by swimsuit season. Rock-hard, washboard tummies are sexy, healthy and desired by many. The problem is that most of us think it is not possible simply because we do not know how to achieve this gorgeous look!

Primarily, you may think that six-pack abs can only be achieved by doing sit-ups and crunches at an insane rate.

Just look at Michael’s body and you will realize that he must know what he is doing! His rock-hard chiseled abs are proof-positive that his methods work!

After reviewing his book, I think there are 3 steps to success with the Truth about Six Pack Abs program. First, you need to figure out your energy needs and begin to lose that belly fat by eating the proper foods and staying away from the junk. Second, you need to understand why traditional cardio may not be working and implement Michael’s cardio strategies. Third, you need to learn the abdominal workouts that Michael has designed.

Many people trying to achieve six pack abs make 5 common mistakes. One of which is the idea that you simply cannot achieve six pack abs that will show if you do not lose the belly fat that is covering them up. This is why spot-training does not work. So, one of the sure-fired ways to achieve success with the Truth About Six Pack Abs is to make sure you are eating properly.

Included in Michael’s ab program is a metabolic rate calculator, which makes it extremely easy to determine your caloric needs in order to lose body fat. He offers great advice and a really fun, tasty menu that will teach you how to eat in a way that maximizes your fat burning AND offers the best nutrition for a lean, chiseled figure.

Cardio exercise is necessary to burn fat, but you may not be performing it the right way. Long duration cardio is not as effective as high intensity interval training done for less time. The Truth about Abs has an extensive section on useful examples of interval training that will strengthen your muscles and burn fat.

Sit-ups and crunches are ineffective. Michael guides you through new ab exercises that will maximize your six-pack ab training efforts.
