Ideal Weight and Total Fitness,the barbarian diet with your Vitamix!

Again, I have to stress "The Barbarian Diet"! - Meat, vegetables, fruits,natural fats, and minimal dairy-whole grains-beer/wine. Let's say you are a typical modern American, eating the diet that goes along with it: BAD! (refined carbohydrates, i.e. "sugar", corn syrup i.e. "sugar", soda, i.e. "sugar", fast food, i.e. "mainly sugar"... These all cause the "diseases of civilization"- heart disease, obesity, and diabetes. If you eat "sugar", aka "refined carbohydrates", you stimulate an insulin response, and this is what triggers future cravings for... refined carbohydrates/sugar! and endless, negative (for you health!) cycle. You get the idea! And whenever you make breakfast at home, you make... PANCAKES!! (I know I used to!) Can you say... SUGAR!!! On STEROIDS!!! And you think you should eat healthier, so you eat bagels, (without butter or cream cheese, since that's the bad part!), and eat pasta...

Asthma and Anxiety: Which Comes First?

Image
Because one can cause the other, it can be tricky to tell the two apart. By Dr. Rob for MSN Health & Fitness Q: I think I have asthma that is triggered by cold air, exercise, and my allergy to hay (I live on a farm). I am also a very emotional person and experience chest tightness and have difficulty taking deep breaths during times of high stress. Are these feelings signs of panic attacks or symptoms of my asthma? A: If your symptoms during times of high stress are similar to what you experience when you are around hay, exercising, or out in cold air, they may be related to your asthma. However, panic attacks may also trigger chest tightness and breathing difficulty, so the two may be interrelated. Either way, the key is in knowing your asthma triggers (stress, allergy, etc.) and taking actions to decrease or prevent the cascade of symptoms from occurring. Is it asthma? Asthma is a respiratory problem that constricts the muscles surrounding the airways and causes the tissues in ...

Fast Workouts That Really Work!

By Lucy Danziger, SELF Editor-in-Chief I love my long training runs, but most days carving out more than an hour to work out just isn't in the cards. And when my schedule is really crammed, shoehorning a sweat session seems next to impossible. Luckily, the fantastic fitness team at SELF let me in on a little secret: You can get an hour's worth of fitness and calorie burning in 20 short minutes. Yes, I was skeptical at first, but this fat-blasting routine is as ultraeffective as it is speedy, and the secret lies in high-intensity spurts of energy. Here's how to do it: • Pick any cardio you like (running, swimming, the elliptical trainer). Warm up for 2 minutes at a moderate pace, then sprint for 30 seconds at the highest intensity you can muster. Slow down and do 90 seconds at a catch-your-breath recovery pace. Repeat eight times. You'll torch more calories in less time, while you burn fat faster. Follow this cardio session ...

Kick-Start Your Workout

By Denise Austin, Prevention One you'll do! When I want quick results, I do interval training. Research shows that vigorous bouts of aerobic exercise followed by easier ones, or mixing cardio intervals with strength training (as I do here), burns tons more calories in less time than if you were to work out at a steady intensity. Intervals supercharge your metabolism, so you burn calories all day long. And constantly switching from one move to the next keeps things interesting. The following program combines kicks, jumps, and squats. It really works your hips, thighs, and buns, so you tone and trim inches at the same time. Your Toning Program Beginner: Do 30 seconds of each of the five exercises; repeat the entire sequence four times for a total of 10 minutes. Advanced: Do 1 minute of each exercise; repeat the entire sequence four times for a 20-minute fat-blasting routine. Do three to five times a week. 1. Front Kicks Stand with your feet apart, left foot in front, an...

Eat Your Way Slim

By Lucy Danziger, SELF Editor-in-Chief Grab your fork: Filling up on healthy foods is the best way to say sayonara to those stubborn 5, 10 or 15 pounds. A few years ago, when I complained about the extra luggage I was carrying, a trainer told me, "That's between you and the bread basket." And she was right . I went on to lose about 25 pounds without counting calories or cutting meals, but rather by reducing refined carbs such as pasta and bagels and increasing the amount of fruit, veggies and lean protein on my plate. Science helps me understand why: Studies suggest that we absorb 6 percent fewer calories when we follow a diet with at least 34 grams a day of fiber (which is chockablock in produce). We also know our bodies expend more energy digesting protein than fat or carbs, and eating at least 50 grams of protein a day can delay hunger pains and boost energy. Try these other tips from our Jump Start Diet to whittle you...

How to get pregnant

Wondering how to get pregnant? Maximize your fertility — and know when to seek help. From MayoClinic.com Some couples seem to get pregnant simply by talking about it. For others, it takes plenty of patience and a bit of luck. If you're wondering how to get pregnant, start the old-fashioned way. Here's what you need to know — and when to seek help. Baby-making basics Conception is based on an intricate series of events. Every month, hormones from your pituitary gland stimulate your ovaries to release an egg, or ovulate. This often happens around day 14 of the menstrual cycle, although the exact timing may vary among women or even from month to month. Once the egg is released, it travels to the fallopian tube. If you want to conceive, now's the time. The egg has about 24 hours to unite with a sperm. Since sperm cells can survive in your reproductive tract for two to three days, it's best to have regular sex during the days leading up to ovulation. If the egg is fertilized...
