Reading Nutrition Labels? Or Just Faking It?

Guest Post by Varsha Aditya If you’re like a lot of other people, you’ve probably got the Nutrition Facts Skim-Over down pat. You know, the cursory look you give the label on the back before throwing the item in your cart. A recent study simulated grocery shopping on a computer screen and followed the eye movements of 203 “shoppers.” After the virtual shopping experience, they were given a survey about their usual shopping habits. And guess what? Of the 30% of people who said they always checked the calorie count, trans fats, sugars, and so on, only 9% actually looked at the calorie counts of foods. Even fewer looked at trans fats and sugars. Needless to say, hardly anyone got to the bottom part where the vitamins and minerals are listed. Granted, the shopping was simulated on a screen, so maybe people behaved differently than when they actually shop. Yet, I don’t think so. Read more

How To Do Push Ups Video, Benefits And Muscles Worked

In this push ups exercise video you will discover which of the muscles you are working when doing the push up, and how to position yourself for safety and maximum muscle building results. When trying push ups for the first time, you may experience fatigue right away, but don’t let this discourage you as it will prove to you soon to be the most rewarding exercise ever. Initially, you may be able to do only one set of push ups (by lifting your body UP and Down), but end the week with a set of three. Muscles build quickly if you are just willing to do this exercise, and be mindful of how to align your body.

I like to warm up for push ups by positioning my body for it, stretching my arms shoulder width apart straight up (mindful of not overstretching elbows), aligning my spine to a straight line, which is at all times supported by my core muscles. I keep in this position until I’m feeling shaky.

It can’t be stressed enough, when doing the push up, be mindful of using those core muscles (located in the mid section of your body) to support your back continuously. To learn how to strengthen core muscles, click the link.

Step Aerobics Exercise: A Safer Way To Get Your Heart Rate Up

Step Aerobics: If you want a safer way to exercise for getting your heart rate up try the following STEP aerobics exercise video. It’s fun, while benefiting from one of the best aerobic routines possible.

Compare it to other aerobic exercises like running, you’ll notice that the STEP aerobics exercise allows you to better control the impact to your feet when touching down. Without the pain to the ankles or knees, should you suffer from a medical condition or are just starting off to strengthen the muscles surrounding these joints, it’s more likely that you will keep doing the exercise and enjoy the benefits of an aerobic workout.

But why should you exercise to a breath robbing point of exhaustion to get that heart pumping?

When doing step aerobics or any kind of aerobics you are primarily working your heart muscle, as it works like a pump, recycling the used blood back to the lungs (pulmonary system) from where it is returned again, fresh blood now, transporting oxygen and nutrients into the cells of the body. This pumping action helps strengthen the heart muscle which lessens its work load to keep your body running. You can check this by taking your pulse. The lower the number of beats measured per minute, the fitter you possibly are. The better you can climb the stairs later…grocery bags and all…

Calculate your pulse rate

Overall, a strong beating heart supports your demand for physical and mental activities. But exercising is not just an after effect. Your body benefits right away. When you do step aerobics exercises, such as in dancing, your heart contracts in short succession. Fast flowing blood loosens debris from the arteries and thus prevents blockage. Your brain profits by getting a burst of fresh oxygen pushed to it faster.

Now, give steps aerobics a try. You can start stepping right now in your home, or on the train in the rain without pain as Dr. Seuss might say, the author of “Green Eggs And Ham”…

Please share with us your aerobics step routines as you do them anywhere

How To Do Crunches The Right Way – Movie

How To Do Crunches The Right Way: When doing crunches working the abdominal muscles, also called core muscles, we might find it difficult to target them precisely. Often, rather than using this particular muscle group to lift and support the upper body, it’s easy to pull on the neck instead, especially when fast forwarding through the exercise. Then it’s time to breathe deeply and remember why you are lying flat on the floor.

Remember, your purpose is to grow stronger when building your core muscles, not weaken yourself with an injury to the neck or back. That’s why I like this movie. The girl starts off slow, and as she rolls her shoulders slightly off the floor you can see her abdominal muscles crunch, always keeping her midsection tight while exhaling – inhaling, while she rolls back down, slowly, to the ground.

New Weight Loss Diet Books Best Choices For 2012

New Weight Loss Diet Books Best Choices, and wishing you a healthy and happy New Year.
There are so many weight loss diet books available on Amazon.com today, causing even the most decisive person to tremble. After all, we don’t want to commit to a diet plan that we can only stick with for a fraction of time rather than long enough to experience the weight loss results promised. Interesting though, looking beyond the universal diet approach where certain foods rule in type, amount or caloric weight, the best diet books target particular issues, without attempting to cover the needs for all people wanting to lose body fat. Out of those diet books, I chose the following three to help you with your weight loss and fitness goals well into this new year.

A Weight Loss Pill That Actually Works?

Rhesus Monkey – eating an orange

The idea of a weight loss pill that actually works seems magical, especially for people battling with obesity. Thinking perhaps, it would eliminate their need for short term starvation diets as well as long term healthy diets and the extra push it takes to exercise. Yet the question remains, can we substitute the conventional methods of diet and exercise with a weight loss pill that actually works, doing nothing?

The University of Texas has been doing some research on a special weight loss pill to help obese Rhesus monkeys lower their body fat. Note, they are using monkeys, as they better resemble the human body for comparison than mice.
