IS YOUR MORNING WORKOUT COMPROMISING YOUR HEALTH? IS YOUR MORNING WORKOUT COMPROMISING YOUR HEALTH?

Checking your workout off your list first thing in the morning may not be as healthy as you think.

Best time of day to work out

 

Conventional wisdom—and flocks of lean early birds—argue that a morning workout is best. You’re more likely to exercise consistently, burn fat preferentially, and stoke your metabolism for the whole day, so the logic goes. But, the early morning sweat sesh isn’t for everyone, including many of those who slog through it every day. You can click here for reviews into archives of different workouts, products and tips and tricks.

Exercise Motivation

Research suggests that those who work out in the morning are more likely to keep at it over the long haul. However, it stands to reason that the type of person who gets up before work to exercise is more likely to be disciplined in their lives in general. A morning workout doesn’t confer discipline; it’s the byproduct of it.

Burning Fat First?

When you exercise in a semi-fasted state—before breakfast for example—you have reduced muscle glycogen and depleted liver glycogen, which would normally fuel your workout. With limited glycogen stores, your body reaches to stored fat and, to a limited extent, amino acids in your muscles for energy. But, at the end of the day, literally, it’s the total amount of energy burned that matters.

Reduced Performance

Let’s say you wake up bright and early for a morning run and log 30 minutes at a pace of 6 miles per hour, burning 307 calories before hunger drives you home. Compare that to exercising in a fueled state—in the afternoon, for example—when you may log 30 minutes at 8 miles per hour. The latter workout burns over 100 additional calories. Even if you were to sustain an equivalent pace in the morning and afternoon workouts, both would burn the same relative amount of total energy.

Sleep Deprivation

With its regulatory effect on appetite, leptin is a master hormone, according to UCLA professor Aaron Blaisdale PhD. When you skimp on sleep, your body reduces leptin concentrations and churns out ghrelin, a hormone that increases your appetite. Even, dragging yourself out of bed a couple hours before you’re sufficiently rested can negatively impact your hormone levels. Increased cravings are hardly the payback you’d expect from your healthy habit. According to a prospective study published in the journal Sleep Medicine Reviews, sleep durations less than seven hours contributed to increased risk of obesity. 

Best Time of Day to Exercise

According to Kari Hartel, RD, LD, because your body temperature is highest and you’re most alert in the afternoon, you’re less susceptible to injury and more likely to have a good workout. However, the expert consensus is that the best time of day to work out is the time that you’re most likely to actually do it. If you do choose to exercise in the morning, make sure you’re well-rested and warm-up your muscles with active stretches and foam rolling to prevent injury. 

David Wolfe says Eat Chocolate Every Day to Stay Slim, Healthy and Happy!

Eat Chocolate Every Day to Stay Slim, Healthy and Happy  by David Wolfe

There's
been talk for years on the benefits of eating chocolate, and many a chocoholic
has used this as an excuse to consume copious amounts of it in the name of
health. As a superfood & natural health and beauty expert, I must declare
it once and for all: there is substantial evidence that eating raw chocolate
really can have a large and very positive impact on your health.

Such
positive benefits that raw chocolate rears include: fighting stress, weight
management, mood stabilizing, digestion aid, and, even longevity of life!

Personally,
raw chocolate is one of my favorite superfoods and I eat it every day – and
recommend to all my celebrity clients and followers, that they do too.

Let
me state for the record, that believing raw chocolate is really great for you
in many ways, is not just wishful thinking – let me share the positive benefits
that have been discovered:

 

  • Raw cacao (which
    many of us know as raw chocolate) is the #1 antioxidant food in the whole world
    – and it has 30 times the antioxidant properties than red wine, and 20 times
    more than blueberries.

 

  • Cacao beans
    contain significant amounts of magnesium, iron, chromium, vanadium, copper,
    zinc, manganese, and phosphorus – all of which are crucial in protecting
    ourselves from stress-related disorders.

 

  • In additional to
    the boost of stress-reducing minerals that cacao beans offer, these minerals
    will also make you happier. That’s right, increased positive moods are just
    another one of its benefits. Raw chocolate contains anandamide (the bliss chemical) and
    phenethylamine (the love chemical). Consuming raw chocolate is especially
    important for a woman's monthly cycle, hormone regulation, and mood swings.
    This explains why many women reach for the nearest block of chocolate around
    that time of the month – our bodies know what we need, even when we don’t!

But
surely chocolate can't be good for your waistline? Well no, if it's two packets
of sugar-laden, highly processed Hershey's Kisses you are eating a day it will
not have a positive impact on getting into your favorite pair of jeans or
trousers, but if you consume raw dark chocolate (not roasted chocolate, the
kind that is exposed to high heat), its high levels of magnesium have been
proven to act as an appetite suppressant. The soluble fiber in raw cacao also
makes it very supportive of digestive wellness.

Real cacao
beans of the best quality on David's hand, and of course the purple pigment is
the color of antioxidants.

So
what kind of chocolate should we be looking for and how much should we be
consuming a day for optimum health? There are two wonderful (San Francisco Bay
Area companies that I recommend, who produce raw, cold-processed, organic:
Sacred Chocolate (www.sacredchocolate.com) and Gnosis
chocolate. If you cannot find these brands, look for dark chocolate bars with
70%+ cacao content. Also, look for Fair Trade and/or organic chocolate
certifications on product labels. If you eat 1/2 an ounce to an ounce a day,
you will definitely notice a difference in your overall well-being.”

So
get down to your local health food store, buy some raw dark chocolate
and savor your treat when those cravings strike. If it’s the right
type of chocolate, it's good for you and is part of a balanced healthy balanced
diet. Life doesn’t get much better than that.

These unprocessed meals are packaged fresh and delivered to your door every day, making slimming down for a big event simple (and tasty).

Stemulationboostcreme_44

Stemulation is based on the science that stem cells can be effectively used for skin rejuvenation, tissue repair and wound healing. A research team of specialists spent two years capturing growth factors from adult human skin cells, which they turned into an active ingredient and the basis for Stemulation products. These growth factors stimulate collagen and the reproduction of new skin cells to reduce wrinkles, eliminate sun spots and smooth scars and fine lines. It truly is a groundbreaking (and technology-backed) new way to achieve younger-looking skin!

The Stemulation line includes a serum, cleanser, exfoliant and face and body creams.

A Breakthrough in Anti-aging.

Through 30 years of scientific and clinical development, our unparalleled medical advisory board has created a unique derivative of stem cells that can be absorbed directly into the skin. Now, called Stemulation, it has become the most powerful regenerative mechanism for anti-aging on the market.

The Science Behind It.

Our revolutionary technology is based on advanced stem cell research and the effects of topical application of cell derivatives combined a clinically proven highly concentrated antioxidant.

This antioxidant is a highly effective natural and organic ingredient that has been proven through clinical trials to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by 46% and improve the tightening and firmness of skin tissue by 65%.

Stem Cells and Aging.

Stem cells in general have a legendary power for rejuvenation by triggering the production of new healthy cells in the human body. Stem cells are our "natural" defense against deterioration of the body. When we reach the age of 50 we have roughly 2% of the stem cells our bodies were born with. Since stem cells repair all forms of deterioration, the lack of available stem cells contributes to the aging of our skin.

Is the Technology Safe?

Yes. The 100% natural and organic stem cell extract (Stemulation™) is pure and safe. The active stem cell ingredients in Stemulation are non-pathogenic, ecologically friendly and free of all chemical additives. There is no injection and there are no known side effects.
