Essential
Fats by Cheri A. Lynn
|
| |
Your
body needs fats. Some are essential for optimum life function,
while others are detrimental to your health. A simple rule
of thumb is to avoid saturated fats, and learn the sources
of good fats and bad fats. Processing, heat, and light can
alter the chemical composition of fatty acids, making good
fats turn bad. Some processing methods yield particularly
bad fats called trans-fats. US food labels don't yet require
identification of trans-fats -- read labels for indicators.
Consumed in moderation, essential fatty acids optimize physical
performance, improve cardiovascular and joint health, boost
energy levels, and reduce bodyfat.

Evaluating
the Quality of Common Protein Sources
by Cheri A. Lynn
|
| |
The
primary function of protein is to build and repair body
tissues. "Biological Value" (BV) is the best determinant
of how efficiently the human body uses protein. High BV
whey isolates provide a superior source of protein. Select
whey peptide blends. Avoid inferior whey protein concentrates
(casein, soy isolate, denatured proteins). Look for the
terms "whey protein isolate," "whey peptide blends," "ion-exchange,"
and "cross-flow membrane extraction." High BV whey protein
improves cardiovascular health, maintains bone density or
slows bone loss, maintains lean muscle mass, reduces stress,
enhances mood, and boosts the immune system thus increasing
resistance to various diseases and cancers. High BV whey
protein isolate provides an important source of proteins
for special populations, including pregnant women, children,
people with digestive problems or lactose intolerance, vegetarians,
the elderly, athletes and active people, and people on weight
reduction programs.

Is
Supplementation Beneficial? by Cheri
A. Lynn
|
| |
The
concept of healthy nutrition continues to evolve. Vitamins,
minerals, and antioxidants are now recognized as nutrients
necessary to sustain human life. Research has shown that
nutrient deficiency leads to declining health and eventually,
disease. Getting all the essential nutrients may not be
as easy as it seems as (1) RDIs may not be an accurate,
up-to-date guide and (2) most foods have experienced significant
nutrient loss by the time they reach our plates. Evidence
suggests that supplementation can prevent or minimize oxidative
damage associated with many diseases and the "aging" processes,
including cancer, circulatory problems, osteoporosis, and
arthritis. Findings like those mentioned in this article
have led many physicians and nutritionists to recommend
a daily multivitamin as a preventative measure.

Qualities of a First Class Trainer by
Diana Vincent
|
| |
Personal
training is an investment in you, so hire the best trainer
you can find. Beyond credentials, look for experience that
fulfills your needs. A good trainer focuses on your needs
by listening to you, responding to your input, and accelerating
your program as you progress. Before training begins, an
overall fitness assessment helps prevent injury and allows
concentration on your weaknesses and muscular imbalances.
Training is all about you. Choose a trainer who thinks so,
too.
