NATIONAL DAY OF FIGHTING SMOKE

August 29, 2008 by Gustavo Brick

I'm totally anti-cigarette! I need not speak here of the evils that the cigarette brings to the health, that everyone already knows, now understand much difference in vision that people have the cigarette. Those who do not smoke, do not smoke and do not want to try (thank goodness) and anyone who smokes and muitoooo would like to stop, but ... It's hard to stop!
Today, 29/08/2008 is the National Day to Combat Smoking, and I support this campaign, I ask you to stop smoking (about me), I think the key is to convey the message that day and make the people reflect on the cigar, that for those who already smoke and those who never smoked but who can come in without wanting to ...

On the cigarette.

Anabolic "Explode" SKIN Athletics

August 26, 2008 by Gustavo Brick

Amateur bodybuilder of 21 years made use of steroid twice in the week which led to a severe case of acne that "exploded" throughout her body, moreover, had ordered welcome testicles and reduced sperm. This is further evidence of serious danger of making the use of anabolic steroids.

A young German in the skin literally felt the price of using anabolic steroids to increase muscle. The drug (250 mg of testosterone enantate metandienona and 30 mg, twice a week) induced the emergence of a severe form of acne, which created deep wounds with abscesses and pustules on his chest and on his back. The boy of 21 years also had fever, shrinkage of testicles and reduced the concentration of sperm. All symptoms disappeared with the interruption of the use of steroids and with the help of antibiotics. The scars, however, will remain forever. The case was filed in the specialist journal "The Lancet" by doctors of the department of dermatology of Heinrich-Heine University in Dusseldorf, Germany, who attended the boy.

The DIET the abdomen X HEALTHY FOOD

August 25, 2008 by Julian Garcia

The terms of cover of Men's Health magazine edition No. 28, this month, I drew attention: "The Diet of the Abdomen," and I am as curious as nutritionist, I was just opening the magazine to read and know what it is that "Amazing" diet that promises a curvy tummy!
However, when I read the 6 guidelines of the diet, I was looking for that miracle has nothing, even less of novelty, not only for that I am nutritionist, but to a knowledgeable party which cares about maintaining an adequate diet and healthy .
Actually the subject matter of basic processes and important that all daily nutritional guides in their offices, but many people think "too basic" and leave frustrated because the expected miracle of the diets.
Maybe it was a good idea to start the securities attractive to the guidelines simple but very important that we try to incorporate both in people's lives. Of course, I do not see these issues of magazines such as threats to my profession, quite the contrary, if miracle diets solve the problem of people, nobody would need more follow-up and nutritional assessment, but is not the case ...
Not that this is the case in matters mentioned here, (The Diet of the abdomen), because the diet advice miracle despite the title, so uncertain, it is healthy habits and as I said before, myself oriented in my office.
The diet consists of the magazine on 6 guidelines:

  • Guideline 1: make 6 meals daily. (no novelty for now)
  • Guideline 2: drink shakes (here refer to the importance that both ally that helps in weight loss as the gain of muscle mass, but should be well targeted to consume the shake most appropriate for each individual)
  • Guideline 3: know what you drink and what to avoid (again here reinforce the excessive consumption of alcohol and the importance of drinking water).
  • Guideline 4: keep the focus on food powerful (here they focus on some foods that should be consumed frequently and are functional - but nothing that you will not find in any supermarket, nothing exotic, everything perfectly normal).
  • Guideline 5: stop counting (calories! Despite mounting menus with the caloric needs of each patient, nobody goes out with a table on the hand counting calories, but have a measure of quantities and sizes of portions that must be consumed)
  • Guideline 6: a meal in a week, forget the previous guidelines (always help that nothing is forbidden, but that the patient has the good sense to consume foods that should be avoided with restraint in order not to lose the focus of your goal).

Besides the 6 guidelines, the matter is also reinforced the role and importance of foods that contribute to some functional to the success of the diet (such as vegetables, almonds, nuts, beans and pulses, milk and dairy, eggs, lean meat, fruit oats, whole breads, olive oil and even whey protein) and should be consumed daily ranging from the alternatives and avoiding foods "imposters".
I think these legal issues that contribute in a positive way with people's health, even to lead a healthy life, have you read the magazine the step-by-step we see so many diets around, porémmmm, readers should be critical and analyze the content of such information, especially when the miracle seems very powerful, because today the health information are everywhere and anyone with common sense is able to be critical with what we read and foremost with their own health!

For more information about health, always consult a professional in the area.

August 22, 2008 by Fernando Funicello

Hands are beautiful and well cared obligation of all men who care. I'm not saying that you need to pass on the basis of nails, but have the soft hands and carefully tended, as well as being an indication of their personal hygiene, they also help to diagnose health problems. This is no joke, his hands may even indicate that you are taking too many supplements such as Creatine.

But wait, do not have to be worried at the outset, in most cases there is nothing more than dermatitis or eczema, a problem caused by dry skin and allergy. If your hands resect occur when sudden changes in temperature, you probably identified the problem. A hand cream used properly, will leave his hands nice and soft again.

Moreover, hands resected can be caused by uric acid, kidney problems, liver problems (liver) or even a gastritis.

If for example you are abusing the malhando heavy and Creatine, careful, this could be forcing the kidneys to eliminate more creatine that is, shall we say, a byproduct of metabolism of the kidneys, which can cause problems such as kidney stone.

This descamamento of hands may also be from the uric acid (hyperuricemia) that is related to the kidneys, a problem that can also be caused by excess alcohol, vitamin C, diuretics or even caffeine.

In most cases, the problem is solved with moisturisers, if they do not resolve the descamamento, a dermatologist look of confidence as soon as possible so he made a pass examinations and diet specific to the problem.

Stronger, more LARGO, curvy MORE

August 20, 2008 by Gustavo Brick

On the magazine Veja this week edition 2074, shows the change in concepts of human muscle definition over the years, and also the evolution of physical exercises to meet the new standard definition of aesthetics.

by Bel Moherdaui

Justinha of shorts and shin pads, the leading man Richard Gere appeared in American Gigolo, the 1980 film, as the prototype of male beauty carried to extremes of physical improvement - enough to make abdominal reversed, which left the audience female upside down. Today, if Gere appeared in a gym as the character Julian Kaye, cause two reactions: 1) asks where is the definition, 2) would have to sweat much to reach levels of elogiáveis stomach, thigh and biceps - as evidence the comparison made recently by People magazine among the old days and the handsome actor Mario Lopez is young and carved the aspirant strong leading man. "In the 80s, when the concept of fitness began to spread, have good physical means have good aerobic conditioning. Do not be led into account strength, flexibility, percentage of fat in the body. Even the tests for the fire department only measuring cardiovascular performance, "recalls Eduardo Netto, technical director of a network of academies, which at the time was already springer.

EAST VS WEST

August 19, 2008 by Gabriel Aguilar

Last night, Sunday, was killing time watching one of these programs on Sunday, sometimes boring middle, sometimes a little interesting. And that is what my eyes and my ears pick? An indication of METROSSEXUAL which has roots outside the land of carnival, and is the plastic surgery of the eyelids which is better known as the Westernization of surgery.

As my business here, on this blog, dear reader, is to bring a bit of culture (!!!) then we will talk this expression of our colleagues in metrossexualidade Eastern, which also have the right to care.

There is some speculation that the oriental eyes have "pulled", the most common states that this trait is due to geographical and climatic factors, the sun, birth, spreads its rays into horizontal lines so that the inhabitants of certain regions develop a "protection for the eyes"

It is not for nothing that in the course of centuries this part of the world was called "East" which in its etymology, derived from Latin, is a term that unfolds in oriens and entis, to form the word we know today: East. And that can be understood as part of the sky where the sun rises, or as a participle of the verb oriori, eris, ortus sum, oriri (in Latin) that means birth and who can adapt to living beings and the planets.

So, my admiration (cool!) Is due to the fact that a group of people decided to westernize doing this type of surgery, because they do not live more in the land of the rising sun. And I was most pleased to learn that many of the people seeking this surgery are men. A site describes what is the percentage of origin of customers and that is reflected in the following data: 98.45% of customers who sought such surgery were descendants of Japanese, were descendants of 1.24% and 0.31% Koreans were descendants of Chinese.

The definition of that surgery can be found at any site of some of these sites plastic surgery specialist to define with a plastic surgery performed in the upper eyelids of Oriental and children with the aim of forming a dobrinha (eyelid sulcus) in a region that is characteristic of western and that for anatomical reasons inherent in the race does not exist or is very subtle in the east.

This surgery, like many things in the world, has been improved and a surgery that was very uncomfortable and whose recovery was painful now has a technique without surgical incision using the technique of "two points" which is so much faster and without pain.

Cool, huh? So, does any Metrossexual here is offering to do a surgery to orientalização?

Errata: I thank the comments received and especially the correction made by our reader Mark H. thus, worth highlighting here that old saying: err is human, to forgive, divine and care was Until ... metrossexual is to be soon.

RUBELLA VACCINE AGAINST

August 15, 2008 by Gustavo Brick

I heard on the radio, read in the paper, I saw on television, but only paid attention in the campaign of vaccination against rubella when I received an email about, and now spreads the message here on Blog, as it is a matter of great importance for the health of all. So look for a government clinic to receive the vaccine against rubella.

From August 09 to September 12 this year, the entire population of men and women aged between 20 and 39 years (Even those who already had rubella, except pregnant women) should be vaccinated with the Dual Viral.
The objective of this campaign is the eradication of rubella.
For those who do not know if a pregnant woman is contaminated with the virus could have a child with serious complications, such as mental retardation, deafness, heart problems and so on.
The male population has never been vaccinated for rubella, however, can transmit the virus to others, including pregnant women who do not yet know they are pregnant.
Help spread the campaign sending this message to your malings.
We will all be part of history and help eradicate rubella in Brazil.
This was a compromise that Brazil took the PAHO and it was agreed between states and municipalities.

What is rubella?

The Rubel or Rubella is a disease caused by rubella virus and transmitted by breathing. It is generally a benign disease, but can cause bad formations in the embryo in pregnant women.

WE running?

August 14, 2008 by Gustavo Brick

I ran a lot, attended by some of evidence and marathons, athletics is a sport that requires much preparation, resistance and perhaps even more than any other sport, a check-up with the doctor before starting this practice. Loved to run, besides the physical work the race gives a feeling of freedom, challenge, it is very pleasant and today I read this story below, is running health.

People who want to live more and more health may resort to race, the second study by Stanford University, USA. According to the researchers, the habit of running not only reduces the risk of heart disease, but also of cancer and neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. Comparing 284 middle-aged people who participated in a running club with 156 people and healthy alike, the experts noted that the first had half the likelihood of death in a period of 20 years, to those who do not ran. In 19 years, only 15% of the runners died, compared with 34% of the other group. According to the researchers, this effect is achieved with the regular practice of any kind of vigorous exercise.
