H2Know: What’s Really Happening When Your Body is Dehydrated?

Unavoidable fact, or thoroughly debunked fiction? We should all be drinking eight, eight-ounce glasses of water per day. It turns out that the old eight-by-eight rule originated from a misreading of a 1945 recommendation from the Food and Nutrition Board and over the next five decades just kind of became accepted wisdom.

But the 64-ounces-in-a-day directive has been abandoned and replaced with the Board’s 2004 recommendation that we figure out how much to drink each day by “letting our thirst be [our] guide.” It turns out that between the water we get from beverages (yup, even caffeinated ones), water-rich fruits and vegetables, and our bodies’ super sophisticated mechanism for regulating water balance, maintaining hydration is fairly simple for most healthy adults . Under certain circumstances (like when we get sick, work out extra hard, or exert ourselves in the heat) our bodies have a harder time keeping up with fluid loss and we can become dehydrated.  But what exactly does that mean? for more info (http://www.blogster.com/healthandfitnessidea/the-same-food-every-day-so-bored-at-the-end-lose-weight)

The importance of water to our bodies can’t be overstated. After all, it makes up more than two thirds of our body weight and is responsible for a variety of functions, including digestion, blood flow, and body temperature regulation, as well as for overall cell health. Fortunately, the fact that we lose between roughly four to nine cups of water per day through breathing, sweating, peeing, and pooping isn’t a problem for most healthy adults because the systems that regulate hydration are so sensitive. According to CamelBak Hydration Advisor Doug Casa, PhD, evidence shows that the body will compensate for a loss of just one to two percent of the total amount of water in the body by triggering the sensation of thirst and the cue to drink . These cues stay on track and properly-timed because our brains, kidneys, various glands, and hormones work in concert to monitor the amount of water that we’re taking in versus how much we’re losing.

Paleo Snacks Anyone Can Love

No grains? No problem. Paleo eaters may shun grains, processed vegetable oils, and refined sugars, but that doesn’t stop them from enjoying plenty of delicious dishes — and creating some downright ingenious recipe substitutions. Whether you’re a longtime primal eating fanatic or just curious about what it’s like to go back to dietary basics, we’ve got 51 delicious Paleo-approved snacks for whenever hunger strikes.

1. Cauliflower Popcorn
Corn is a Paleo no-no, so replace the movie favorite with a more nutritious cauliflower version that has a similar buttery taste and satisfying crunch.

2. Bacon and Guacamole Sandwiches

We’re kicking ourselves for not thinking of this one sooner. Michelle Tam, founder of Nom Nom Paleo, has some sage advice here: Slap a tablespoon (or two) of guacamole between strips of crispy bacon for a mini-sandwich combo every Paleo enthusiast can love.

3. Deconstructed Guacamole

For a filling, colorful salad, combine cubed avocado and diced tomato with lemon juice and your favorite seasonings. Best if the avocados aren’t too ripe so they’ll keep some shape.

4. Paleo Hummus and Veggie Slices
Going Paleo means saying goodbye to traditional hummus. This recipe swaps cauliflower for chickpeas for a substitute that will fool all but the most astute hummus connoisseurs. Serve with slices of your favorite dip-able vegetables. for more info ....(http://healthandfitnessedu.blogs.se/2014/05/05/you-have-tried-all-the-diets-and-weight-loss-success-keep-a-food-diary-18376215/)

5. Baba Ghanoush and Sesame Crackers
Eggplants are Paleo-friendly for most, but store-bought baba ghanoush can still contain loads of hidden mayo — and that can mean a lot of unwanted vegetable oils. Go for a simple, mayo-free recipe with lots of garlic for a fresher take that won’t weigh you down. Try pairing this dip with some Paleo-friendly homemade sesame crackers.

Margarita Recipes for a Healthier Cinco de Mayo

One tequila, two tequila, three tequila… floor. None of these recipes are skimping on the alcohol (well, except for the alcohol-free section at the bottom of the page) or the flavor. What they do skimp on is calories. The typical margarita can run you as many as 500 calories—but not any of these beauties. From avocado and blood orange, to prickly pear and Ugli fruit varieties, we’ve got your healthier drink recipes covered (and some of them even offer some pretty stellar health benefits, thanks to superfood ingredients!).

 The Recipes

1. Avocado Margarita
Avocado… in a margarita? Yep, you read right! This green cocktail blends up avocado, tequila, cilantro, lime, and agave for a festive, smooth cocktail. Finish off the glass with a spicy salted rim and a wedge of lime for the perfect garnish.

2. Prickly Pear Frozen Margarita

Prickly pear, the fruit from the nopales cactus (that’s the one with long, rounded, flat-paddle-like “leaves”), are bright pinkish-purple fruits with a flavor similar to watermelon, but a bit sweeter (think bubble gum). Here, the fruit’s vibrant, fiber-rich flesh gets blended up with water and combined with lime juice, tequila, triple sec, and a little agave nectar. Salt and serve!

3. The “Elevated” Margarita

They call this one “elevated,” and we know why. This super simple mix of tequila, fresh lime juice, and agave syrup make for a not-to-sweet drink without any of that added sugar or overpowering sour mix flavor.


4. Persimmon Margarita
Fuyu persimmons take center stage in this sweet cocktail. The orange fruits are packed with fiber, vitamin A, and manganese, so no feeling guilty about downing one (or two)! The cinnamon sugar rim makes this drink extra special. for more information(http://www.ez9articles.net/article/venus-factor-review-feeling-good-and-happy-with-life)

5. Skinny Marg’
Fancy pink Himalayan salt and ginger-flavored seltzer water give this lower-calorie cocktail extra special flavor and texture. On top of tequila, orange liqueur, and lime juice, the combo is perfectly refreshing.

How to Navigate a Mexican Menu

Perhaps you’ve indulged in some loaded nachos smothered in cheese and a few (OK more than a few) margaritas to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. But all that cheesy Chimichanga deliciousness isn’t usually the most nutritious way to fuel up. So before you say ole, take a look at our tips and tricks for making your Mexican fiesta (at home or at a restaurant) just a little bit healthier.

The Breakdown

While creamy, cheesy dishes like enchiladas and fried items (chalupas and chiles rellenos) pretty much have no hope of being a truly healthy meal, there are other items that can easily be altered to keep them from obliterating your diet. (We’re not saying don’t ever go for the enchiladas or fried goodies, just do so more sparingly!) Here are some of those things that are easier to alter to make a bit healthier.

Chips and Dip

Instead of choosing marinated meats cooked in a skillet full of fat, ask for your protein grilled, roasted, or baked, and see if they can eliminate the extra oil. It’s easy to look for a few key words to find their healthier items: Grilled meats are typically listed as “asada” (carne asada means grilled beef, and pollo asada refers to chicken). Dishes like tacos al carbon (which translates to cooked over charcoal) and fajitas tend to use thin slices of steak rather than ground meat, making them good choices too. for more info(http://www.hotarticles.us/article/john-barban-psychiatrist-and-therapist)

Fish

Mexican restaurants generally offer some great fish and shrimp options. Curious about where your seafood is coming from and what's safest to eat? Consult our how to choose the safest seafood infographic). Beyond fish tacos, try spicy grilled shrimp (called camarones) or fish bakes—often light, white fishes, such as tilapia, served with tons of veggies and flavored with fruit salsas. Broiled salmon is also available at many Mexican restaurants for a healthy dose of omega-3s (one of which research suggests may help protect against UV-induced skin damage)

Guilt-Free Nutella Recipes to Indulge In

We know, we know. Nutella is NOT a health food. But that doesn’t mean we can't indulge every once in a while. Since it’s World Nutella Day, we thought it only fair to share with you some of our favorite ways to enjoy the chocolatey, hazelnutty spread without totally giving up on your healthy eating ways.

Homemade Nutella-like Spreads:

1. Sugar-Free DIY Nutella Try your hand at throwing together this Nutella alternative to enjoy that hazelnut-chocolate combo without any guilt. Note: If you’re not crazy about artificial sweeteners, you can always use natural alternatives instead!

2. Protein-tella Pump up protein content by combining whey protein powder cocoa powder and hazelnut flavoring for this tasty spread.

3. Almost Healthy Nutella Spread The name says it all. Don't like Nutella? Try making your own. We’re huge fans of any recipes making less-than-healthy classics a bit more guilt-free! for more info visit and share to others (http://www.mindz.com/profiles/xazelcatty/blog/57721/Venus_Factor-Your_own_healthy_cookbooks)

4. Dairy-Free, Sugar-Free Nutella A hint of almond milk makes this spread super-creamy (and almost identical to the original!)

The Unexpected Benefit of Being the Worst Yogi in the Room

The first time I stepped foot in a hot yoga studio, it was packed. I took the only spot available, a sliver of space by the front mirror. I could barely breathe and I sweat through pores I didn’t even know I had, but when I looked up into that mirror, I saw a room full of peaceful people doing incredible things with their bodies. I was hooked.

I'm an all-or-nothing sort of person and I can’t stand to be bad at things, which is to say that I set goals with the intention of achieving them and I don’t set goals I can’t achieve. So when I started going to yoga regularly, I went with the intention of becoming the person with the prettiest standing bow pose in the room.

The problem was, as I realized very early on, I was terrible at yoga. I quickly became frustrated at my body. It wouldn’t bend the way I wanted it to. No matter how hard my brain tried to force it, I couldn’t hold the poses. And my standing bow was downright ugly.

This was a roadblock that I simply couldn’t accept. I was not going to spend the foreseeable future struggling with the very basic version of each pose while everyone else was two or three layers ahead of me. I had set a goal and I was going to achieve it.

I signed up for the longest, hottest class—90 minutes in 110F heat. I was simply going to try harder, challenge myself more, and push myself to be better. Yoga baptism by fire.

    “ Trying harder only exacerbated how unprepared my body truly was. ”

Within 20 minutes of that class, I’d realized my mistake. Trying harder only exacerbated how unprepared my body truly was. When the instructor lead the class in sitting deeper, I tried to sit the deepest, and I fell over. When the teacher told us we could do an optional push-up, I forced my arms to dip, and instead of lifting back up, they gave out. for more info visit and share (http://veechi.org/Healthy/visual-impact-muscle-building-review-rusty-moore-a-scam/#discuss)

As I lay there, panting and aching, I made up my mind to cancel my membership. Clearly I was never going to be good at yoga—so I’d just have to quit. Having made a plan, I instantly felt better. All I had to do was get through the rest of the class.

Surprising, Healthy Eating Habits from Around the World

The United States doesn’t have the highest obesity rate in the Americas (that dubious honor goes to Mexico), but over one-third of US adults are currently obese, and that number isn’t dropping. It’s a pretty eye-opening statistic, especially when compared with data from countries like Japan and India, where obesity rates fall below five percent.

Why the difference? While national obesity rates depend on many factors, they probably have a lot to do with lifestyle and culture, including what people eat and how they eat it. The good news is that everyone can borrow healthy eating habits from countries around the world — and leave some less-wholesome practices on foreign soil. Keep in mind that these habits come from traditional diets found in these countries — with globalization, some foods and eating habits have migrated around the world (for better or for worse). For example, les steaks hachés sounds like a typical French food, but it’s actually the meaty part of Le Big Mac (and hardly part of traditional cuisine). for more info......(https://www.givology.org/~niwblog/blog/68795/)

Smart Ways to Make Pizza More Healthy

These days, Dominos just doesn’t cut it. We created this epic list of all the healthiest pizza fixin’s, so you can build exactly what you — and your body — wants. We guarantee you’ll create something that’ll cut out unwanted calories and top any pizza parlor in town!

And don’t stop before you get to the bottom: We’re hiding five super-special Greatist favorite pizza recipes down there. But first, some pizza-prepping tips:

    Keep the oven HOT. Like, at least 450 degrees, hot — 500 is even better. That way you get the crispy crust without the soggy middle.
    Don’t overload on the toppings. That’s a thin little base you got there — treat it well. Add only a thin layer of each goodie and keep heavy items to a minimum.
    Bake or toast the crust before adding the good stuff. Nothing’s worse than a soggy middle! Make sure it can support the toppings before loading them on.
    Be careful with moist toppings and cheeses. If the tomatoes are juicy when they get layered on, they’ll transfer that moisture to the crust. Keep these toppings to a minimum, and try to remove any excess liquid.
    Try cooking it on the grill! This method adds a great smoky flavor and delicious grill marks. for more info.......(https://www.givology.org/~niwblog/blog/68289/)
    Buy premade crust (if you want!). No need to go gourmet chef on us. In fact, many small pizza parlors will sell their handmade dough fresh for you to bake at home. Give it a try.

When it comes to equipment, running is a simple sport—regardless of whether you're training for a 5K, a half marathon, or a full marathon (or just jogging around the neighborhood). Generally all that’s needed are the right clothes and, more importantly, a good pair of running shoes. But just how long does a quality pair of running kicks last, and how do you know when it's time to swap in a brand-new pair? (Hint: Don’t ask Forrest!). We dive into the science to ensure your feet stay looking (and feeling!) their best.
What's the Deal?

When the Greeks ran foot races in the olden days, they usually did so barefoot and naked. Since then, running with clothes and shoes has become more of the norm (phew!), and, with the advent of the modern day athletic shoe, perhaps a little more comfortable.

Developed to be protective and add traction, running shoes have  evolved to incorporate lightweight materials that cushion the foot from the trauma of running . Most cushioning comes from EVA foam, a lightweight material injected with air cells designed to absorb impact .

But, like all good things, the foam eventually loses its magic . According to some researchers, that can happen anywhere from 300 to 500 miles after the first wear . For a runner doing five 3-mile runs per week, that comes out to a new pair every five to six months. (Let’s hope Santa comes twice this year!). for more info......(http://www.articlesempire.com/article.php?id=163828)

Greatist Turns Three Today and It's All Because of You!

I grew up a big, big kid, drinking six Dr. Peppers a day. When I realized it was time to start making health a priority, I found myself more lost than ever, struggling to find a brand I could trust that spoke to me in a way that made sense. I tried things I’d seen a celebrity share on TV, workouts I’d heard a trainer suggest at the gym, and diets I’d found searching online. Ultimately they didn't "work," and, what's worse, it seemed like they kept trying to define what "healthy" should look like for me instead of letting me define what "healthy" meant for myself.

All I wanted was a brand, a site, a company to turn to that could touch and inspire me. As I struggled with different diets, workout plans, and other silly strategies, it blew my mind that there wasn't a bright light in this space shining the way to the support, accountability, and guidance I really needed.

    “ All I wanted was a brand that offered the support, accountability, and guidance I really needed.  ”

So three years ago, I started Greatist. And it’s been a wild ride. I’ve done some crazy things in that timespan, including get six-pack abs in six weeks (spoiler alert: it sucked), build a company that now employs 20 inspiring people and friends, and reach more than 50 million different people. Unbelievable, right? Most importantly, we've reached those people the same way I wanted to be reached way back when, reminding people that it's not about being "the greatest" all the time, because being "a greatist" and making healthier choices some of the time is the only way to truly build life-long healthy habits. for more info .........(http://www.allvoices.com/contributed-news/16975838-venus-factor-let-the-way-you-eat-and-conscious)

Bringing this message to the world is my personal mission—and making good on that mission is Greatist's vision as a company. Ultimately we're working to change the way the world thinks about “healthy,” helping everyone become a greatist and think about health in this healthier way. I think we're well on the way... but I also know we can't do it alone.

The Best Supplements to Fight Fatigue

Being fatigued sucks. You stumble through the day, your brain slow, your body aching; you’re tired, you’re groggy, and everything feels awful. Fatigue isn’t just tiredness—it’s a generalized lack of energy and motivation that can sometimes be a symptom of serious issues like depression, anemia, or thyroid problems (which is why chronic, pervasive fatigue definitely warrants a visit to the doctor). In some cases, however, fatigue is simply the result of poor—but fixable!—habits.

When you've ruled out any medical issues and developed positive habits but are still struggling with fatigue, it may be time to turn to supplementation. We took a look at the most common causes of fatigue—sleep, stress, and exercise—and put together a list of simple, supplemental fixes to address each one. Check out the list to eliminate fatigue and get back in the game. for more info ........(http://www.kiwibox.com/xazelcatty/blog/entry/114743315/venus-factor-review-dealing-with-emotion-and-aggression/?pPage=0)

Note: The contents of this article are not intended to serve as medical advice. If you have questions about incorporating supplements into your life, it's always smart to consult a medical professional.

Yoga, With Weights, Hammocks, and Sweat

At some point during the “Shred” class at SLT Yoga, the Greatist Team realized we were not, in fact, practicing yoga. At least not the kind of yoga we were used to.

Ten of us were poised above shiny blue mats in plank position, our feet sliding a set of gliders back and forth behind us. We’d just come out of a sweaty warrior II pose in which we held a set of three-pound weights in each hand. Already, tears came when I thought about how sore I’d feel the next morning.

SLT (that’s “Strengthen, Lengthen, Tone”) is just one example of the growing number of fitness centers that offer new spins on traditional yoga classes — everything from dumbbell-enhanced poses to aerial inversions. Many of the instructors at these studios are former athletes or dancers; and they focus on taking standard yoga poses to a new level by infusing the sequences with moves from other athletic disciplines. The result is a class that gives more of a physical workout than your typical 45 minutes of sun salutations. for more info  (http://healthandfitnessideas.mee.nu/venus_factor_review-dealing_with_emotion_and_aggression)

One of the most common examples of this trend is Power Yoga, a fast-paced take on Vinyasa flow developed by Baron Baptiste in the 1980s that has since spread to fitness centers all over the country. Then there’s Iron Yoga, touted as a more efficient workout, which incorporates weighted strength-training exercises into every pose. Some of the most popular yoga DVDs include yoga for weight loss and Jillian Michael’s “meltdown.” If yoga is already a workout, as some experts say it is, these classes capitalize on its fat-burning, muscle-building, endorphin-boosting potential. But with the addition of iron-pumping and grunting, are these “yoga” classes still yoga, according to those who teach more traditional styles?

Sunday, 27 April 2014

Not all yoga is created equal. When we headed uptown on a blistering cold Tuesday evening, none of us knew how quickly SLT’s Shred Yoga class would heat us up. We entered the chic studio and gathered the essentials — a mat, blocks, dumbbells, and gliders (more on those to come!) — before embarking on one of the more challenging workouts the team has done. Our instructor Erin forewarned us that she was going to kick our butts, and we soon learned she does not tell a lie.

The cardio-based class combined elements of strength training and plyometrics, and of course yoga. Erin explained that while the moves would be faster and more vigorous than a typical yoga class, it was still possible to find that yogi rhythm and flow as we went from one move to the next.

The foundations of yoga were evident, although we seemed to return to plank pose more often than down dog, and there was only one (very brief) child pose throughout the hour-long class. We swiftly moved from forward bend to chaturanga, down dog, and various lunge exercises, before grabbing our two- to three-pound weights and heading into warrior II to do various arm movements. After barely catching our breath, we were on to push-ups and mountain climbers (our feet on gliders, sliding our knees to and from our chest). At this point, we were definitely feeling the fire in our abs, triceps, and quads. for more info visit this site(http://egymir.com/forum/index.php?threads/health-check-is-also-useful-to-make-the-treatment.66160/)

Then it was time to slow things down a bit, getting on our hands and knees for some isometric exercises. Initially, the micro-movements seemed like a break from burpees and power vinyasas, but once again our physical and mental strength was put to the test as our glutes literally felt like they were burning. (Greatist’s own Sophie Breene may have turned to me to say, “Help…my butt is on fire!”)

How Often Should I Replace My Running Shoes?

When it comes to equipment, running is a simple sport—regardless of whether you're training for a 5K, a half marathon, or a full marathon (or just jogging around the neighborhood). Generally all that’s needed are the right clothes and, more importantly, a good pair of running shoes. But just how long does a quality pair of running kicks last, and how do you know when it's time to swap in a brand-new pair? (Hint: Don’t ask Forrest!).

    “According to some researchers, running shoes should be replaced anywhere from 300 to 500 miles after the first wear.”

Why rush to pick up a new pair? Once that foam wears out, the risk of overuse injuries increases, because the material has lost its ability to absorb shock . While some overuse injuries (like shin splints) are minor, others (like tendinitis) might require more serious treatment. One good way to avoid these issues: Regularly trading in your old shoes for new kicks.

Your Action Plan


Why do experts give such a big range for the appropriate time to replace old sneaks? Every runner has a different weight and foot strike, both of which affect the cushioning of shoes in various ways (For instance, a heavier runner who runs on their heels may wear out the shoe cushioning faster than a light runner who runs on their toes.). To eliminate all those miles of guesswork, here are some quick signs that those running shoes need to be replaced: for more info visit this (http://najran-secondary-school.com/vb/newthread.php?do=postthread&f=2)

Core-Strengthening Moves for Yoga-Ready Abs

Looking to build a solid core? Check out this professionally programmed core training plan from our friends at Cody that'll give you the strength to nail difficult yoga poses in no time!

Anyone who’s ever taken a yoga class knows it’s not as easy as it looks. Sure, stretching and standing around in Lululemon gear sounds pleasant, but a long Vinyasa, Bikram, or Ashtanga class can be seriously sweaty and physically challenging. And a strong core is essential to balancing on one leg, twisting like a pretzel, or just getting into a sturdy triangle pose. The core muscles stabilize two of the body’s most important structures — the spine and the pelvis — and help maintain flexibility throughout the torso. While certain asanas challenge the core more than others, nearly every movement in yoga requires well-developed abs and a strong back. The following five muscle groups are especially relevant for flexing, posing, and stretching:
1. The psoas is probably not the sexiest core muscle, but it’s definitely one of the most important. The psoas (try saying that five times fast!) is part of a set of muscles called the hip flexors, which keeps the lumbar spine stable and allows for hip flexion. It’s kind of a big deal — the psoas is essential for everyday activities like walking, running, bending over, or doing abdominal exercises.



The Best Supplements to Fight Fatigue

This post was written by Dr. Spencer Nadolsky, Director of Examine.com, an independent encyclopedia on supplements and nutrition that aggregates the latest scientific research on a multitude of supplements. Dr. Nadolsky is an osteopathic family physician and former wrestler with a B.A. in exercise science.

Interval Training

Interval training alternates periods of moderate-to high-intensity effort (such as sprinting) with periods of low- to moderate-intensity effort (like walking or jogging). It is often contrasted with long duration, “steady state” exercise (like jogging).

High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is a popular form of interval training that involves (surprise!) intervals of high intensity. HIIT has been found to boost the metabolism, build lean muscle, and keep the body burning calories up to 48 hours after the workout[1]. HIIT has been shown to be more effective at improving athletic performance and releasing beneficial hormones than steady state exercise[2][3]. While it’s often used in the context of cardiovascular exercise, interval training can be employed with weights, kettlebells, or any form of exercise. Tabata Training and the Little Method are also popular forms of HIIT. more info visit this site

Yoga

Yoga is a physical and mental practice from India that, in the West, usually involves a combination of poses, breathing techniques, and meditation.

Studies show that yoga can improve flexibility, strength, and balance, while also improving focus, reducing stress, decreasing inflammation, and reducing the risk of injury

Yoga comes in many forms: from Power Yoga, which focuses on strength and endurance, to Jivamukti Yoga, which emphasizes meditation and healthy living. In the U.S., more than 20 million people (most of them women) regularly practice yoga. There are a lot of sanskrit terms associated with yoga poses that can be a little confusing — check out our guide to yoga lingo for tips.

A professional fitness trainer

Shaun T Insanity author and fitness trainer, whom you hate and love
Shaun T is an accomplished choreographer and fitness coach around the world.

Became known thanks to Insanity exercise program, which is rightly called the toughest workout ever released on DVD. Name of Insanity (i.e. insanity) is really eerie, because the next 60 days of exercise are guaranteed to reach for the bottom of their maximum strength.
Shaun Thompson was born in 1977; he is therefore thirty-five years. As a young boy he played football and baseball, excelled also in the running.
