Workout Headache

veen — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 07:12:24 +0000

Ever workout so hard you get a headache? These headaches caused by strenuous exercise are called exertional headaches and are thought to be harmless. Nobody knows exactly why or what causes these headaches to occur, but the theory is when the body undergoes intense physical exercise, the bodies blood vessels dilate in order to increase the blood flow to the heart. As the vessels expand they put pressure on pain receptors in the head, causing this brutal pain that sometimes lasts a whole day.

Eight ways to avoid headaches:

1. Say hydrated.

2. Limit caffeine.

3. (Especially for exertional headaches) Warm up thoroughly before working out. This will help your body get use to the shift in bloodflow.

4. Limit achohol.

5. Eat a healthy and balanced diet.

6. Take multivitamins.

7. Limit sodium.

8. Sleep!

Fish and Tea

veen — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 18:39:08 +0000

I recent study has shown that tea (green or black) may positively block the absorption of mercury in fish. What does this mean? Next time your eating some fish, pour yourself a cup of green tea to go along with it. Not only will this combination of food prevent the harmful effects of mercury, but both fish and green tea have great health benefits as well.

Fish have essential omega-3 fatty acids, which are apart of the membrane of all cells of the body and reduce the risk of colon cancer, Alzheimer’s and heart disease, asthma, stroke and more. Green tea helps prevent arthritis, high cholesterol, cardiovascular disease and is is loaded with antioxidants that prevent cancer.

Both tea and fish are excellent for your health, but even better when eaten together.

Child Obesity and Steroids: Save Our Kids

Mike — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 03:07:06 +0000

Kids should not be allowed to eat at fast food restaurants. They can’t vote, they can’t smoke, they can’t watch rated R movies, but they can kill themselves with poisonous foods. This poor obese kid is heading down a long path of health problems.

Kids should not be allowed to take steroid supplements. And no, I do not believe in natural, or safe steroid supplements. Kids on steroids is just as bad as child obesity. We need to find the middle ground, save our kids.

5 Basic Nutrition Tips for Better Health

Mike — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 19:31:47 +0000

We all want to be healthy. We all want to be happy. What you eat becomes you, your brain, your mind, your entire body. Sometimes we forget that proper nutrition is the core for a healthy life. Here are 5 basic nutrition tips for better health.

1. Eat less cooked fat.

Cooked fat especially unsaturated fats such as canola oil are extremely dangerous to the human body. Cooking fat produces free radicals which causes cellular damage within your body’s cells. Fried foods are well known to be one of the leading cause of heart disease.

2. Eat more protein.

Protein is what your body needs to rebuild its structural integrity. There are 8 essential amino acids which your body cannot manufacture by itself. By eating more daily protein such as meat, milk, and eggs you can insure a healthy amount of essential amino acids. Every single cell in your body requires amino acids, even your teeth and bones require amino acids for formation, growth, and rebuilding.

3. Cut back on sugar.

Sugar might taste good, but it is one of the worst things you can put in your body. Excessive sugar consumption leads to many diseases, a weakened immune system, obesity, and diabetes. There is no such thing as essential sugar molecules, your body does not need a constant supply of sugar to function, grow, and rebuild.

4. Cut back on Alcohol.

We all know that alcohol is bad for us, however we insist on consuming it. Recent research has linked alcohol consumption with a higher rate of tumors of the breast, liver, and mouth, along with an added susceptibility to high blood pressure. If you want to achieve a better state of health, alcohol should only be enjoyed in extreme moderation.

5. Drink more water.

With so many sports drinks, sodas, and other drinks out there we often forget what our body really needs. The answer is simple: water. Attaining good quality water from a reliable source should be one of the main things that you keep in mind for you overall health. Even more than protein, carbohydrates, or fat… water is the most essential element for your health.
