In a study put out by the American Journal of Physiology it was discovered that antioxidant intervention which happens from taking supplements or exercise can slow the aging process. A steady routine of exercise had a significant effect on reducing oxidation about the same as taking supplements.
Don’t say, “Oh good I will just go take those pills instead of exercising.” It isn’t as simple as that as you must also contend with muscle attrition and fat gain that takes place after a certain age.
Unfortunately after you hit age 25 people typically lose about 1/2 to 1 pound of muscle tissue every year after this age. What happens is that by default our bodies will choose to add on more pounds of fat rather than muscle after this age.
You could see this medical reality as depressing but see it as a reason to get fit. By building up muscle mass through a regular workout routine at home or Tyler TX fitness center most people will increase their metabolic rate and burn more calories while resting.
You see you really can lose weight while doing nothing by you must first get in a workout routine to start building muscle so that will happen.
The numbers look like this, for every pound of muscle you keep or add on you will burn about 30 – 50 calories a day. By letting muscle be the default fiber you add on daily to your body you will allow yourself to lose weight the easy way, by doing nothing. You see that is why you hear the often used phrase, no pain no gain.
By getting in a small work out each day you will allow your body to shed those pounds simply by the new metabolic rate your body has with all that new muscle.
If you stay inactive all the time you are allowing your muscles to slowly eat away. Not only is your metabolic rate decreasing but your muscle tissue is being replaced by fat. This problem is easy to go unchecked as it is hard to see that your muscle is being replaced by fat as your body remains close to the same shape. Eventually you will notice and by that time things have gotten pretty bad.
In summary muscle isn’t just something that looks better than fat it actually increases your bodies ability to burn fat. If you have gone several years without exercising it is not uncommon to have lost close to 15 pounds of muscle. If you were to add that muscle back to your body your metabolic rate would be such that your body would naturally be able to burn 450 – 750 calories more per day simply by having that muscle back on your body.

The age old debate of the differences between men and women has come into our hcg hormone weight loss program. Everything from sports to business to politics to sexuality has breached the subject, so now it’s our time.
Interestingly enough research into the subject has been more about the different uses of HCG between men and women than what are the differences in the HCG injections for weight loss. These other uses include, for men the increase of testosterone and for women increase of fertility.
The greatest difference seems to be a large chasm of different side effects. For men, the main risks are an enlarging of the prostrate and an uncomfortable enlargement of the prostrate due, mostly, to high levels of estrogen in the hormone.
Now, for women the side effects are contracting Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS), as well as cases of increasing chance of pregnancy and creating multiple ovrum. When it comes to the weight loss itself observations have shown differences, although these observations have not been thoroughly investigated.
According to some comparisons observations have been made of men losing almost twice as much weight as the women starting the program at the same time. The theory is that because men have more muscle mass to burn the calories, the HCG diet protocol allows more calories to be burnt up as muscle burns calories.
Although not researched, it is also speculated that the 500-800 calorie a day diet recommended in the program would cause greater struggles for a male as men tend to use more calories throughout a day. Based on these observations, overall opinion can be that, as stated, the HCG diet protocol would be equally productive for both men and women.
You know what momma use to always say, “Watch the company you keep”. And when it comes to the hormone HCG, or Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, some of the company it keeps wouldn’t make momma too happy.
In the 1970’s HCG was first introduced as an injectable solution used for stopping obesity. But since that time HCG has shown a dark side. In fact, you might remember hearing the initials H.C.G. used in a recent high profile news report.
HCG was one of the “prohibited substances” found in Los Angeles Dodgers baseball player, Manny Ramirez. Why would a substance used by thousands for their weight loss solution would be banned from professional sports? Well just like the majority of listed substances banned, it has to do with steroids.
The dark little secret of HCG is that it is an excellent recovery drug for those in between steroid treatments. After taking anabolic/androgenic steroids the body suffers a considerable drop in their testosterone level which creates a difficult transition for the user as it creates some loss in strength and muscle mass.
It is in those transition times that HCG is used as it has been found to produce more testosterone in a quick and reliable way. Also, it has been found that HCG helps with testicular atrophy which is a shrinking of the testes as a result of mega doses of steroids. Once HCG has been injected the testes return to normal condition (size) quickly.
Seeing this other side of HCG use can suggest why the drug has increased in popularity once again. So, if you are one who errs on the safe side, I would take this into account when considering continuing or beginning HCG injections as a weight loss method.
Many people, especially women, tend to avoid resistance training for the fear of bulking up too much. Resistance training, however, turns your body into a fat burning machine, particularly when combined with cardio exercises. The repair phase on days in between resistance workouts when your muscles heal themselves is really what gives the results, not how much resistance you use necessarily. It is important in resistance training to put quality over quantity, controlling each and every movement and performing the moves correctly.
Personal trainers in Tyler, Texas would be an excellent source for learning how to incorporate resistance training into your weekly weight loss regimen. Instructional videos are also good tools, just be sure to watch the entire workout and learn what to do before you attempt any of the exercises. Because building muscle boosts your metabolism, the more muscle mass you add the better the fat burning power your body has. Every pound of muscle mass will burn 50 calories a day just by being there!
If bulk is a concern, use lower weight resistance tools such as free weights or resistance bands, but be sure to use enough to challenge yourself. You should reach failure before you reach the maximum rep count; otherwise your weights are too light. Because muscle weighs more than fat, you may not see immediate results on the scale, but it won’t take long before you start seeing a difference in the tape measure and the way your clothes fit, and that’s what matters.
The Tyler Texas Foster Adopt Walkathon happened today.
There weren’t very many people there at Rose Rudman Park where the walk started.
There were a couple good speeches encouraging those in Tyler to foster and adopt children from the state.
The walk was around 1 1/2 miles and afterwards there was a bouncy house for children and some fruits and drinks for the walkers.
They also had a fund raising raffle where you could win a Wii game console.
Channel 19 was there so even though there was not a lot of people at the walkathon there was still a good get out the word publicity opportunity for fostering and adoption in Tyler Texas.
