You can get visible results within 4 weeks with these tips from your personal fitness trainer at Washington DC.

Strategy 1: Planning and organizing basic data

The first step is to gather all important information that will be needed to draft a weight loss program. We begin to assess your present thoughts about your body, uncover your biggest frustrations, talk about your strengths and weakness, and establish the real deal between you and your commitment to getting fit.

Attention must be paid to important information such as: Have you had any ailments or been injured in the past? Would this be your first attempt at losing weight? What is the nature of your current job? How many hours can you spare for exercising? What do you look for in a Washington, DC weight loss program? All these questions are asked to gather information. You will soon find out why it is necessary.

Strategy 2: Set Achievable Goals

What a client wants is really vital. This forms the basis on which a personal trainer has to design your entire weight loss program. This can be a very easy or a tough nut to crack for the trainer depending on how 'SMMART' your goals are.

No, I am not misspelling anything here. This is how you should set your goals --- specific, meaningful and measurable, attainable, realistic and time-bound.

Your Washington, DC personal trainer adds meaning to weight loss goal setting. Most individuals find the drive to stick to the program when they know their goals purpose or meaning.

Strategy 3: Developing the ideal weight loss program.

So what is a perfect program? This is a customized weight loss workout training largely based on your Strategy 1 information. The most effective weight loss training has to meet your needs, personality and physical capacity.

Designing a personalized program and regularly checking how efficiently it works will help you achieve your weight loss goals within the set time period. Checking body weight on a weekly basis also helps to check if you are headed in the right direction with the program.

Strategy 4: Power and Confidence

Everyone knows the importance of power and confidence especially in weight loss training. Empowerment is very vital but most of the fitness experts at Washington DC are totally against empowering their clients, so that they can keep making money off of them.

By empowering the client, they gain huge confidence and start thinking on their own about various alternatives that can make them stay fit and healthy. This is the best thing a personal trainer can do for their client.

When working with me as your Washington, DC personal trainer, a typical male client can expect to drop 10 pounds of body fat in the first 4 weeks (not the same as weight), and atypical female client can expect to drop a dress size in the first 4 weeks. - 17269

About Protein and How to Build Muscle

By Ricardo d Argence

Whether you are new to the world of bodybuilding or you have simply decided to take a look and find out why you are told the things that you are, you will find that one of the most important things that you need to think about is protein.

There are constant reminders that you should supplement your dietary regimen with additional protein, which appears to be the keystone of all the current programs aimed at building muscle mass. If you want to work toward your dream body, you will need to think about how protein can help you. Protein and beautiful bodies go hand in hand!

The first thing that you need to think about is what proteins are and why you need them so much. At the most basic level, proteins are organic compounds made up of amino acids. These amino acids that make up the proteins are essential when it comes to building muscle. They field the growth of muscle cells and they are going to contribute overall to the growth and strengthening of your body.

If you are looking the kind of foods that will keep you strong and healthy, you will find that proteins are often the key. While bodybuilders are known for making proteins a part of their life, you will find that just about any active person, whether they are a martial artist, a sportsman or an athlete, needs proteins to function.

Bodybuilders put their bodies through many different activities on a regular basis, thus making protein intake extremely necessary for them. After you exercise, your muscles require some time to rest and recuperate. Consuming the proper amount of protein in your diet will provide your body what it needs for repair, also, by studying the protein in your diet, you will achieve a more effective and balanced method in building necessary muscles.

Targeting the best sources of protein, when building muscles, is a good way to start lifting. While meat is a wonderful source of protein, you will discover that egg whites are also rich in the protein your body needs. Not only is it a great way to start your day, but it's also the right direction in body building. Don't forget soya beans, they are great in protein with very low calories in fat.

Protein is readily available in dietary supplements, great news if you want to avoid long hours in the kitchen but still get enough of this essential nutrient. They come available as capsules or powder, or you can mix them in your beverage.

Take the time to make sure that you make good protein the cornerstone of your bodybuilding experience, this can go a long way towards helping you down the path to a healthier, stronger you. - 17269

Hemlock Fungus Brimming with Antioxidants

By Dr. Markho Rafael

Hemlock Varnish Shelf extract contains an abundance of antioxidants. [827, 828, 829, 830] A study from 1999 found Hemlock Varnish Shelf (Ganoderma tsugae) to possess "the strongest antioxidant activity of five species of Ganoderma tested," and stronger than Vitamin E. [831]

Growing on Eastern Hemlocks (Tsuga canadensis) throughout the Appalachian Mountains, Hemlock Varnish Shelf (Ganoderma tsugae) is the local variety of Reishi mushroom (Ganoderma spp.) in the eastern parts of the U.S.

Much of the therapeutic benefits are the same as those of the Common Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum), which is the oldest used medicinal mushroom in Traditional Chinese Medicine with a 2,000 year history.

Being a common tree mushroom also in parts of Southeast Asia, Hemlock Varnish Shelf (Ganoderma tsugae) has been the object of study in plenty of Asian research.

The primary Asian source of Hemlock Varnish Shelf is commercially grown specimens from Taiwan that are exported to mainland China as medicinal mushrooms. The traditional use of Ganoderma tsugae in Chinese medicine is for the treatment of autoimmune conditions, asthma and other conditions involving inflammation.

As far as modern research goes, a 2001 study reported "improved the survival rate of lupus" [800] when patients were given Ganoderma tsugae extract in addition to the conventional treatment.

In cases of asthma or lung inflammation, there have been three studies confirming the effectiveness of Hemlock Varnish Shelf. It's been found to "exert anti-inflammatory effects on airway responses" [801] in cases of allergic asthma and broncheoalveolar inflammation. [802, 803]

One of the most novel uses of Hemlock Varnish Shelf is as a skin substitute during wound healing. The skin substitute material, commercially sold as Sacchachitin, has been proven in numerous studies to promote and speed up skin healing. It has been observed that "rapid wound healing" takes place when covered by Sacchachitin as compared to regular gauze [804] - a "wound area covered by SACCHACHITIN completely healed by 21 days, while that covered with cotton gauze did not." [805, 806, 807]

Ganoderma tsugae extract has also been used in studies on cancer with results that encourage continued research. [808, 809, 810, 811, 812] Breast cancer [816] and lung cancer patients in particular have responded favorably in the studies conducted. [808, 809, 810, 811, 812] A study on cancer metastasis also reported positive results from the use of Hemlock Varnish Shelf. [817]

Same as with Common Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum), the Hemlock Reishi (or Hemlock Varnish Shelf) has also been shown to be a powerful immunomodulator. [817, 818, 819, 820, 821, 822, 823] What that means is that both of these species of Reishi will help adjust the immune system up or down, whichever is needed. They can help strengthen a weak immune system in one person, [824] while helping to calm an overactive immune system in another person, perhaps someone with an autoimmune disease or an inflammatory condition such as allergy, asthma or arthritis. [825]

Last but not least, a 2004 study concluded that Hemlock Varnish Shelf also possessed liver protective properties as well as being anti-fibrotic. [826]

Man's Feathery Friend

By Dominic Lawsen

For years the dogs of this world have stolen the spotlight when it comes being the ideal pet. They're intelligent, fun, cute, and of course what is man without his best friend? Despite their endearing personalities and soft fur, dogs aren't the only ones who are able to fill the void of man's best friend. Birds, too, can make for fantastic pets. The common misconception that birds only sit in their cages and squawk is not only inaccurate, but it fails to credit the sentimentalities and bonds that birds have with their owners. Like dogs and cats, birds are emotional and intelligent pets that, when cared for and treated well, can be just as fun as any other furry animal and certainly more unique.

There are a few things to understand about birds before turning one into the ideal pet, the first being that birds are living, feeling creatures. They recognize the emotional state of their owner, they get bored being locked in a cage, and they respond to sights and sounds same as a dog or cat. Like any pet you may own birds require love, attention, and respect. As for talking, don't become disheartened if your Polly decides not to respond to wanting a cracker. Just because your communication may remain nonverbal doesn't mean that your bird doesn't appreciate the attention and effort.

If a bird becomes excited it doesn't always mean that it's upset or angry. However, there are a few behaviors to be aware of and if it does seem your bird is either agitated or exceedingly excited, it's never a bad idea to keep your finger out of its' face. Eye pining is when the eye of a bird dilates in and out repeatedly and quickly. This is often a very obvious sign of excitement, as is the flaring of tail feathers. When your bird starts clicking its beak, it is most notably a warning to keep your distance. Wait until the bird has stopped clicking or has been left to calm down over a period of time before attempting to stick your hand in the cage.

Other behaviors you may notice with your bird aren't indicators of excitement and simply serve functional purposes. For instance, when birds finish cleaning themselves they will fluff their feathers in order to realign them and rid of the extra debris clinging between each feather. The act of feather fluffing also generates body heat for your bird, and if you notice your bird fluffing itself excessively and without the act of cleaning, it may be ill. Birds also keep clean by wiping their beaks after eating, whether it be on the perch or cage or even on a wing.

Depending on the bird, you may notice that yours has something called a feather crest atop their head. This row of feathers resembles a feathery Mohawk when flared and can indicate a variety of emotions based on the bird. If you notice your bird flaring their crest, take note of its other behaviors. Is it excited? Angry? Hungry? Bored? Ill? Other birds will bob their heads or shake for no obvious reason. It's not a reason to be alarmed, but it may indicate anxiousness. Birds will also shake after bathing to dry themselves.

Other normal behaviors of birds include the grinding of their beak right before they fall asleep, which indicates contentment, or the preening of feathers to keep them neat and clean. Preening is only worrisome when it turns into over-preening and the bird is constantly plucking out or chewing out feathers. Birds also regurgitate food to younger birds and those they care about. So if you and your bird are close enough, you may find that it will regurgitate for you as a sign of affection. Don't be alarmed. There is a distinct difference between regurgitation and vomit; vomit will stick to the feathers and beak of the bird.

Consider, then, providing them with some toys and giving them a day or two to fly around a room. If they are bored with their cage, you may see them flapping repeatedly as an attempt to get some exercise or in an attempt to take off. Birds also enjoy naps during the day, and this only becomes worrisome if you notice your bird napping while standing on two legs and extremely fluffed. Usually this means their cold and unstable and thus feeling ill.

Your bird may also become possessive of either you or the cage, and may even show signs of jealous aggression if you get another bird or pet. Birds also have extremely obvious behavior such as hiding when they are scare or freezing in place. They may even beg for food or attention if their being deprived of either, but if it becomes an issue don't be afraid to figure out what triggered it to begin with and change it. Like all pets, birds adapt well to the wishes of an owner that is willing to take the time to work with them and understand them. - 17269

Berry Starts Foundation For Success

By Rachel Peddriski PHD

The acai fruit is an amazonian treasure that is known to the locals as the tree of life. It is harvested from a palm tree in the Brazilian rain forest where the magic of the amazon can be seen and experienced in one magical berry.

The acai fruit is able to fight off and prevent the destruction of DNA because the fruit is bursting full of amino acids, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids. A Dr. who wrote a best selling New York Times book entitled "the Perricone Way" and in states that the acai fruit is the #1 super food on the planet.

Acai fruit contains:

A leveel of anitoxidants that assist with fighting premature aging as well as 10-30 times that of grapes or red wine

Amino acids and trace minerals that help with the building of muscle regeneration and proper contraction

The perfect blend of healthy fats, fiber for your diet, and nutrients that help lower cholesterol help promote that digestive system

Antioxidants have long been known to be an essential part of any diet. Antioxidants are substances that protect the cells against the damaging effects of free radicals

Free radicals are harmful substances that the body produces when breaking down some foods. They are also created from environmental pollutants such as tobacco smoke or radiation. They can damage cells, and have been linked to cancer, heart disease, and other diseases.

The antioxidants found in the acai fruit help restore health and can prevent future disease. Acai fruit is rich in vitamins A and B and has the protein content of an egg.

The fatty acid content in the acai fruit is similar to that of olive oil. It is rich in monounsaturated oleic acid. Oleic acid aids omega-3 fish oils in penetrating the cell membrane. The blend helps keep the cell membranes supple. This allows all hormones, neurotransmitters, and insulin receptors to function more efficiently.

In conclusion, if you are looking for a strong source of food that contains all the essential nutrients the body requires then look no further than the acai fruit. Look for organic quality acai products as they have the most power. - 17269

Attempting to Lose Fat Quick? Is It Smart

By Wayne Powers

Staying power is a quality that individuals who are attempting to shed weight seem to need to work on. The fat can by no means be lost quick enough to make most people happy. The implication from mainstream media is that losing weight can be actually be done speedily. Weight loss shows on TV make fast weight loss look easy, it appears like it can be a breeze and is long term. This mindset promoted by the media is a tad bit off-center from what happens in actuality.

Fast weight loss looks like the ultimate objective of anybody who is heavy and needs to lose pounds, what is that the right approach? The reality is that it isn't the greatest manner to manage weight loss. Is important to think about the different types of tissue that is lost when you diet, muscle and fat. You will want to lose more fat. Lose weight over a period of time and you will be successful. That is how the game of weight loss should be strategized.

Stable weight loss should be the goal of anyone trying to lose weight. Trying to realize short term weight loss too fast will encumber your weight loss stability later on in your life once you're not able to exercise as hard or regulate your diet as well. It is recommended that you should lose no more than two pounds a week. Pass beyond two pounds per week, and you drop muscle mass and the percentage of fat in your body increases. Muscle is metabolically active tissue and burns energy. Adipose tissue is not as energy demanding and does not increase your metabolism. Consider for a second that it took a period of years to gain the fat that you now have. Pounds of fat just doesn't accumulate in your body overnight and it won't leave overnight. Take it slow.

There are indeed exceptions to the hard and fast rule of 2 pounds of weekly weight loss. The exceptions turn up for the morbidly obese over 300 pounds. At that weight, weekly weight loss can be carried on at a percentage basis. Is important that the percentage of weight loss does not go above 1% in any particular week.

Where the real blubber, I mean the rubber, hits the road is and how much fat tissue is lost during the process. It is also recommend that a physician oversees the process. There needs to be any increase in lean body mass ratio as you lose weight.

It is clear that it is important for you when dieting and exercising to lose weight, that you grasp the concept of "weight loss" versus "fat loss". If you want to just lose weight, you could dehydrate yourself and lose 10 pounds of weight, but you'd be causing more problems than it is worth. If you go is to "lose fat", then you want to maintain your muscle mass while losing weight slowly.

If you carry on with an excessive weight loss every week and you are losing more and more lean muscle tissue, once you stop dieting and exercising the ratio of fat tissue will be higher than when you started. Therefore what would you will have is a slowing down of your metabolism, and you're setting yourself up for a future gain in weight. At the point that you have lost the weight, you are almost like a "skinny fat person". Yeah of course you've lost weight but not the right kind of weight.

How do I know if I'm losing fat as opposed to muscle?

Nowadays, there are a number of home tasting kits that can test body fat ratio. You can either go to your medical supplies store locally or just search online. One of those is the Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis scale, but the best tool that you can utilize is what is known as body fat calipers. We won't go into the calculation of how you determine body fat ratio using calipers measurements, but what you do is pinch a loose section of your skin on your several areas of your body and determine the thickness in millimeters. From this you will get the most and most accurate understanding for body fat percentage. The calculation that you use will account for height and weight and sex. Websites that accomplish the calculations for you can be found quite easily on Google. Just insert the figures and you'll get back your fat ratio percentage.

Overall just think about the manner that you gained weight over the years. You didn't gain it overnight, it was a process of over the years at the fat cells accumulated in your body and grew larger. Lose weight but don't over do it by going too fast, have fun, and become healthier! - 17269

Cellulite and Salt Intake

By El Bilson

Many women realize that a good way to reduce the appearance of cellulite is through proper diet. But most do not realize that the amount of salt in your diet can have an impact on your skin. By reducing fat and salt in your diet and increasing the amount of water you drink, you may find a way to reduce cellulite.

Many women that get cellulite are often predisposed to the condition. However the condition can be worsened through poor lifestyle choices. Cellulite can start to appear when the skin starts to lose its elasticity. For permanent reduction of cellulite symptoms, a lifestyle change might be necessary. Dietary changes can help improve the appearance of the skin and give you more energy as well.

Some foods that have high sodium/salt content are easy to pick out. These include processed and packaged foods such as potato chips, pickles, soy sauce, and cold cuts. Because of the high sodium content found in these foods, fluid retention is more likely. When fluid retention occurs, the areas of cellulite will swell and be more prominent. If you're going to the beach, you might want to skip out on the sodium!

It's usually a good idea to check the Nutritional Information box on any food product you buy. This way you can check the amount of sodium in the food you are eating. Salt will be listed as sodium and will be measured by portion size. By becoming more aware of the salt contained in the foods you eat, you can reduce your salt intake on a daily basis.

A reduction of cellulite in the body can be obtained over time with a low sodium, low fat diet, exercise and a healthy lifestyle. So remove that salt shaker from the table. When cooking, reduce the amount of salt that a recipe calls for. If the recipe calls for a teaspoon of salt, reduce that to one half teaspoon. Most of the time you won't notice the difference!

If you're having trouble reducing the amount of salt in your diet, it might be a good idea to invest in a book that lists the sodium content of most common foods. By making an effort to learn more about the foods you eat, you can stick with healthier choices. You will eventually get used to food being less salty. Most foods found in nature are low in sodium to begin with. Fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables have very little sodium. But those two slices of sausage pizza you had at lunch used up about 88% of your recommended daily allowance of salt.

The recommended daily allowance for sodium is around 2,400 milligrams. While this sounds like a lot, it can be easy to exceed this limit within one meal. If you are serious about reducing the appearance of cellulite on your skin, then a change in diet can be a great start. There is no need to starve yourself. Just make a few adjustments to your diet. Lower salt intake and increase consumption of water. Dont forget to reduce fat intake as well.

Does Milk Cause Cellulite?

By El Bilson

We certainly do enjoy our daily consumption of diary products, but I have often wondered " does milk cause cellulite? Can we improve the look of your skin and get rid of cellulite simply by making a dietary change?

Lots of people have often wondered " does milk cause cellulite? While some of us would not enjoy giving up our daily dairy products, others might find this to be worth a shot if it means no more cellulite!

One of the biggest controversies surrounding milk is the amount of hormones contained in milk we consume. Hormones given to the cows to enable them to produce more milk are often passed on into the milk we drink. Many feel that these extra hormones can do damage to our bodies when we regularly ingest them.

Because cellulite responds to hormonal changes with in the body, it would make sense that increases in hormones in the body would trigger an increase in the amount of cellulite. Some studies have shown that a reduction of cellulite was found in women who stopped using diary products. It took about 6 to 12 months for these women to notice a difference in the appearance of their skin and get rid of cellulite.

For many women who are desperate to get rid of their cellulite and have tried many different products in the past with no success, a simple diet change may be the solution they are looking for. This can be hard however. Diary products are found in many foods we eat " just try eating something that doesnt contain cheese!

A an easy way to get around using regular cows milk is to use goats milk. Goats milk doesnt usually have the hormones found in regular cows milk. Be careful with yogurt too as yogurt is made from cow's milk and can contain hormones that are harmful.

Other people may feel that there is no true answer to the question does milk cause cellulite. They feel that this topic has not been studied much and therefore no scientific conclusion can be drawn. While this point is valid, it should not be used to dissuade those who are interested in eliminating diary from their diets in order to get smooth skin.

Not only are women asking does milk cause cellulite, but they are wondering if milk products are the source of some of their other health problems as well. These can include things such as digestive issues, weight gain and acne. Going off diary products may be helpful for many a variety of reasons, not just cellulite.

In conclusion, only you can decide if milk really does impact your cellulite. If you decide to stay away from diary products, make sure you give yourself enough time to notice results. A week or so probably will not cut it as our bodies are often slow to change. You will most likely need to dedicate 6 months to a year towards this project. While after this amount of time you may not find any results with your cellulite, you may notice that you do not crave or tolerate milk products any longer. - 17269

Initial of all, a common request is the prohibition of alcohol. Alcohol is very hard for our liver to get rid of. If taken in large quantities for a long period of time, it may start accumulating scar tissue on the liver, which will result in cirrhosis, a failure of the liver.

Another thing that's taken out of the picture by a good detox menu is meat, and specially read meat. Red meat is also a hard thing to handle for our liver, even though not as hard as alcohol.

Consuming raw foods is similarly common in a good number of diets. The reason that this is requested by a detox menu is that procedureed foods contain a lot of chemicals that are not natural and may rest in our bodies.

In Conclusion, the most common denominator of any detox menu is drinking water; lots of it. Water isn't only the most natural of substances, but its the medium via which our natural detoxification system works. It allows us to get rid of toxins naturally, and it is the most vital component of our bodies. - 17269

You Will Not Gain Muscle if You Don't Sleep Enough

By Ricardo d Argence

Going to to the gym, you will think you can get relaxed and muscles will grow by themselves. Working your muscles through weight training is not the only factor, neither is physically working out.

Among the most neglected factors involved is the necessity of appropriate amounts of rest, not only between workouts, but really getting a proper night's sleep to end your day. By adjusting your sleep time table so that you get a regular night of good sleep nightly can lead to big transformations in the outcome you get from your bodybuilding plan.

There are actually several reasons why sleep is so important to be successful at bodybuilding. For starters, your body recovers and rebuilds muscle while you are asleep. This is the crucial time when other parts of your body are shut down and not consuming energy or internal resources that your body uses to repair damages from bodybuilding.

You must rest or your body won't be able to heal and add new muscle. You will be adversely impacting your gains by not providing enough time for your muscles to heal, recover, and continue to grow in the proper manner.

Another reason that sleep is so important for bodybuilding is that a lack of sleep can cause you to have a lack of focus and a lack of physical energy. A lack of mental focus can destroy your results while you're in the gym. You can have the best intentions in the world, but if you get in the gym and you can't visualize the exercises you are going to do and you can't focus on moving from one to the next, you aren't going to get a great workout.

Although you might not have the energy or be motivated enough to have a great weightlifting session. There's only so much your body can handle over the course of a day with a tiny amount of sleep. With everything else going on in your life, its working out that often takes a backseat.

Sleep is critical because it allows your body to recover and control the rhythm of your body's hormones. Hormones, that are essential for proper metabolism and muscle gain, are released during sleep. Hormones, released during sleep, are essential for proper metabolism and muscle gain. At the same time, sleep also inhibits other hormones that can lead to fat gain and other unseemly consequences.

That means that sleeping for 2 hours on friday night and then sleeping for 12 hours on saturday night doesn't amount to the same benefits as sleeping 7 hours both nights in a row of no matter what you want to maintain a consistent sleep schedule. And that's what you should shoot for, at least 7 hours a night. You must sleep if you want to succeed at bodybuilding under any circumstance. - 17269
