Hydrated and WANTED!

October 31, 2008 by Julian Garcia

A few months ago I wrote an article on hydration explaining the correct way to hydrate before, during and after physical activity, in addition to its importance in the exercises.
Yet again I am writing on the subject, to reinforce to readers the importance of water in our lives, because the heat is coming and especially at this time we should give attention to the intake of liquids.
Although the water does not supply energy as carbohydrates, for example, it has a key role in the formation of energy, energy due to reactions that occur in their environment, so the great need for adequate intake of water to maintain the vigor and energy during physical activity.
The extra energy produced during the exercises cause a warming body, raising the internal temperature. Profuse sweating is the way used by the body to get rid of that extra temperature. On hot days of summer sweat more and more water is lost by sweat and there is no adequate hydration, the dehydration that can occur among other symptoms, leads to a decrease in the performance of the exercises and so we feel exhausted more quickly.
Symptoms of dehydration can be seen early, however, depending on the degree of dehydration can occur serious consequences. Some of the milder signs of dehydration are: fatigue, loss of appetite, reddish skin, intolerance to heat, dizziness, dark urine with strong odor, and dry cough.
The signs most serious, may occur trouble swallowing, lethargy, lack of coordination wrinkled skin, eyes funds and blurred vision, pain when urinating, skin sensitivity, muscle spasm and to frenzy.
Keeping hydrated not only requires the ingestion of water, but you can consume fruits and vegetables that contain about 75% to 90% water in its composition to be absorbed during digestion. Juices, tea, milk and sports drinks are also good ways to maintain adequate hydration, but it is not enough to keep the body hydrated. You need to eat 8 to 10 glasses of pure water a day and even more to replace the liquids lost in physical exercise.
The water can even help keep us thin, so indirect, of course. Because the kidneys are responsible for filtering the waste products of the body, need a certain amount of water and failing that, the liver ends up "helping" the kidneys to carry out such filtering, but the liver is responsible (among many other functions) by fats raise the reserve to generate energy and to perform functions he needs extras, he will not perform its task of burning fat to be appropriate, therefore, the burning of fat is compromised.
This is just another of several qualities of water, its importance goes much further, however like to make just a reminder (even as an alert) so that this summer you abuse the water and liquids, such as coconut water, for example, great to refresh and rehydrate in hot days.
Enjoy the summer that is close, with considerable health and provision!

DRUG FOR OBESITY IS PROHIBITED

October 30, 2008 by Gustavo Brick

Acomplia, anti-stomach medicine, had its trading suspended by sanofi-aventis following the recommendation of the European Medicines Agency (EMEA).
The drug gained popularity after some studies of the use of rimonabant against obesity, but recently some patients who made use of Acomplia had side effects such as depression and in patients with psychiatric problems have worsened the problems.
The medication is contraindicated for patients with psychiatric problems, but we know how difficult it is to control the marketing and so many uninformed people seeking the drug Acomplia in the dream of becoming thin, or nearly so, and end up creating other problems for health.

Training OMBRO CHAMPION!

October 30, 2008 by Gustavo Brick

After a long training gym comes a time that seems that all possible combinations of drills and exercises and series have been made, and it is almost same ... You have some drills that fits you best, others less so, but it is difficult to suggest a training, each has a structure and a goal, my goal always was to develop further the shoulders and come achieving this, but as I said, the options for drills have been exhausted and we must repeat.
I started training for a shoulder that had never done and quite liked the result, like any good rat of college "I can say that" I have felt the muscle "! The coaching I saw in the journal Combat Sport and was developed by the technical consultant of Probiotic Fernando Marques, the photos of the demonstration of the exercises are the Overall Champion debutant 2008, Rafael Ranieri.
I would type the complete series here on post, but I preferred scan the subject and thus is more complete. To see the photos and text you fully charge the page and a click on the image.

AND THE OSCAR GOES TO ...

28 October, 2008 by Gabriel Aguilar

Yeah, my dear readers, when I started to write for the site to my question is if metrossexual is also a matter of culture or not. Many times doubted the answer, but looking at the world, and especially to our reality in Latin America, find that it is rather a question of culture. You doubt? So here we go. Help me to choose the president more metrossexual to begin presenting two figures highlighted the "world" of South America.

First he, the king (not only in Venezuela) of gafes. Which uses a military uniform, which when present in front of the cameras just talking stick, so that even the King Juan Carlos told him shut up. Sure, we're talking about one that also had close to the TV station that contrary to political ends. From this it sells oil to the devil (opsss nothing to do with religion, he called Bush the devil). This control (read: discontinued) exports of cars from Brazil to Venezuela, bringing more trouble to the economy, and as he has many "companions" nobody say anything. It is, were the keys before, that dirty boy who lives in a barrel. The lives of those who speak of barrels of oil it sells.

And these times you must think that I was crazy, he is not a metrossexual ... No, of course it is. All right that these clothes are more ridiculous that uses a figure semiotics to reassert itself, sometimes risking a suit half-mouth ... but agree, compare the "commander" of Venezuela with any individual country.

Now compare the luxuries that the trustee has with anybody, any citizen:

Did you see the difference in who preaches an end to poverty, "freedom" and the Equal ... Imagine if he were a dictator. Not us, we believe we are the bad to a guy who wants to be 200 years governing a country imposing laws and absurd (to increase the half-hour time difference).

And there, you agree that it can be a metrossexual?

Our second candidate is not very different from the profile of the first, indeed, if there was a school would say that he is the "favorite student" of the teacher (and not necessarily to be the best - in this case for being the worst) ... I talk about this president which is said to be an Indian, which is the first Indian to come to power (as "not applicable). On the one who wants to leave Brazil without gas, and it also has many "companions" nobody can talk anything.
Our dear Evo Morales, no relation to Eva Perón, please. Morales, chavismo's son also wants to govern ad Aeternum, fight with all and the most curious, which is very likely that our friends philosophers drunks in responding, always appears with such colorful clothes with apliques, I think that his mother is sewing for the child does not become cold. He took care of that Petrobras, which expelled him for many Brazilians there, he is not there or for their people who emigrate to the neighborhoods most decadent of Sao Paulo, selling their labor-the price of slavery.

It is our neighbor, always neat, with that haircut: I did not want to pay for the hairdresser and my sister, who is doing a course on the corner, made his first cut.

And now I will not say it is not metrossexual? No? And just look at any of the Brás, or we go to Bolivia, which, the airport is well ruinzinho. And see how people live and is, and now, look to your majesty Bolivian.

Not very different?

Look, my vote would be for the Evo because he can that his people are in the worst miseries and he did not. Thousands of Bolivians because the suffering and struggle are killed every day and Mr Morales worried about that applied in colorful clothes. They say the bad language that began when he was elected a hoax saying that those who spoke was the King of Spain and he with all his culture believed (and omega, a bit limited, huh?) ...

The problem, friends, is that many countries, our neighbors, has an agent who cares about their image, with its "progress", to take account of what it is not them, with dreaming to change the world (at a price well high) and his people? Nothing. And with the true freedom? Nothing?

I do not consider, for the post of the conservative right, quite the opposite, but I think that old phrase that "power corrupts" becomes reality in this agent (and others around) out there who say the people and that when they arrive by the power, only want to enrich themselves.

Good Bless America

NUTRITION IN FIGHTING acne (Espinho)

October 24, 2008 by Julian Garcia

There are times you heard about the importance of adequate nutrition to promote health, quality of life and good performance in sports. Studies and more studies every year, show that in addition to the direct relationship between healthy eating and living quality, nutrition also has key role in aesthetics.
Women are the main target of the cosmetic companies, clinics and even the aesthetics of the food industries that develop lines of products geared just to them. However, the male interest in caring for the appearance has drawn the attention of industry and occupational health and aesthetics.
I have patients in the office men seeking guidelines that go beyond to maintain the weight or gain muscle mass. Today they also are concerned both with the aesthetics seeking more power in an ally to take a good look and a major concern of these men vain is the care with the skin.
The acne is still one of the major towns, which if not addressed and prevented, can leave marks on the skin difficult to erase. It is the result of an increase in sebaceous secretion associated with obstruction of the opening of the follicle pilosebáceo generating carnations, which through the proliferation of microorganisms, resulting in the characteristic inflammation of the bones.
There are four degrees of severity of acne and the areas most affected are the face and the anterior and posterior regions of the chest. Its biggest peak incidence occurs between 16 and 19 years for boys and among its causes have to heredity, hormonal activity triggered at puberty, hyperactivity of the sebaceous glands and bacterial irritation.

The feed can contribute to an improvement in acne degrees lighter and also in preventing them through the consumption of foods rich in vitamins and minerals, and adequate intake of water and liquids daily.
Consuming food sources of vitamin C, A and B complex may help in the fight against the bones, see the function of each nutrient:

  • Vitamin A: reduces the production of tallow.
  • Vitamin C: antioxidant and anti-inflammatory.
  • Vitamin B2: controls the oils of skin.
  • Vitamin B6: hormone regulates metabolism.
  • Vitamin B5: serves on the metabolism of AG and sex hormones.
  • Fiber: eliminate toxins
  • Chlorophyll: Detoxifying

The minerals also have important role in this battle:

  • Calcium, phosphorus and magnesium: maintain the balance of Blood
  • Sulfur: healing
  • Selenium: Antioxidant + vit E
  • Manganese: anti-inflammatory action.
  • Zinc: healing and regeneration of tissues, anti-inflammatory action.
  • Dairy: low fat levels - reduce the fat by eliminating pores

Green tea is also a good antioxidant that repels the bacteria that cause the bones and reduces inflammation and can be consumed about 4 to 5 cups per day, hot or cold.
Avoid fatty foods like fried food, snacks and sweets in general also is another important guideline to be followed.
There are many treatments for acne and currently the clinics for aesthetic are very well trained to do this kind of treatment, even for the male audience that has been gaining more and more space within these centers of beauty. So far the penalty is worth knowing that there are methods to combat this evil.
Food is one of factors that deserve attention in combating acne and should always be considered along with treatment, so we always look for a professional to guide you better.

Pierced tongue

October 23, 2008 by Gustavo Brick

Piercing has gone out of fashion? I think now there are about 8 years ago anyone wore piercing, only those who today is part of "movement" is put to use a ... Last week I met a friend at the academy that does not track time, talking with him realized that his speech was different, spoke inside, babava, stutter, I asked, what the fuck is that? And he told me it was the pierced tongue ... Now I ask you, in return for that use a pierced tongue, which may cause the problems are many, much more than the benefits, if there is any ...

It had to write a post about it and, without wanting to, today I found a story in G1 who speaks exactly on the piercing.

Experts warn of the University of Ohio to the fact that the longer stay in a lip piercing, the greater the retraction of the gums with instability of the affected teeth.

The gingival retraction, when installed, has little chance of recovery but will act as gateway to the bacteria that cause periodontal disease. After contamination by bacteria is the formation of a pocket of infected material that undermines the tooth.

Periodontal disease, the technical name of the chronic inflammation of the gums, is associated with a number of diseases, may cause the loss of teeth. In addition to chronic inflammation, the gingival retraction brings the increased sensitivity of the teeth to painful stimuli of heat and cold.

If you have courage watch video ...

David Beckham

22 October, 2008 by Gabriel Aguilar

It is true that if we choose one of our most famous icons in the media would have many candidates, a par excellence is Beckham, who in my opinion is more eccentric than metrossexual itself. Agree, the media did the icon of the metrossexualismo and it is difficult to discuss the issue. So let's hear a little of the eccentricities of our "icon"

  1. The most bizarre of all is the cream that the couple Beckham found in the earth's rising sun: a cream-based to bird poop. Hummmm, come on, someone is going through an animated cream with a value estimated by applying spends 180 U.S. dollars. I prefer something more basic, less "sophisticated"
  2. Recently the famous player has made the propaganda of a food supplement that is the basis of fish. They say the sites of gossip that leaves the player with "whiff" of those who ate pizza for aliche (broken) and it has brought some problems in time to pick up the former Spice grill ... she refuses to kiss him.
  3. Friend is something you if you keep on the left side of chest ... OPAAAA another of the eccentricities of the player is to give a personal trainer and nutritionist. Yeah, the bad language that counts Tom Cruise, but one that is 2 cm in height, taller than me, is that jeremy d of scientology, appeared in some photos means "chubby". Then the "friend" set up a diet for the "little fella". Hummmm without comment.
  4. This not counting that one day the woman, which they say is well ciumenta, said a day as the maridão wore the panties of her. Hmm ... also without comment.

Yeah, Beckham exchanged the land of the Queen of the land Uncle Sam does not know if it was a good one. Imagine, with this economic crisis is losing muitoooossss dollars. It also heard he is not enjoying much of the country. They say they want to return to England, which is like the one that is the woman who can make all purchases that have always dreamed of.

For all that, my dear readers (and readers) need to make a manual for the Metrossexual and then do not go confusing apples and pears ... Somebody out there is interested in using this cream. I think we could draft a pot to a player try it and then tell us. I'm out!!

The METROSSEXUAL SCENE IN THERE IN land ...

October 21, 2008 by Becky Mota

Everybody knows how the Portuguese like to show your hand man with H capital. What you do not know is that there is showing in Portugal, land, the piece "the Fri & Potato Fries," which tells the story of two boys who mistakenly rent the same house and start to live together. One is the traditional machão, loves talking about bad language, take a lot of beer and eat peanuts while watching the football on TV because the other is a metrossexual that uses and abuses of creams, exercise, take care of food and not open-hand clothes guys, because he says: "It's what they love."
The author Rui Vilhena says that although the characters are seemingly so different, they have similar characteristics, both are self-centered, stubborn, womanizer and consumed.
After frustrated with the women, boys try to learn the techniques of seduction of each other. The male tries to be refined and metrossexual displays is machão. In this game they involve the female audience that participates in certain scenes of the play with excitement.
"Sex & Potato Fries" is a caricature of sexist society today. There is a machão that only thinks about playing a naked, have a beer and sex and there is metrossexual been concerned about their food, their clothes, their nails, their hair and who also likes sex. This is our current scenario of the relationship between different ways of thinking about the man's masculinity in the twenty-first century.
Important to highlight the various events around the world this reflection and acceptance of society to modern man.

* I did not find any video of the play, if someone tells me that I have insert here!

OR IMPROVE QUALITY OF YOUR FOOD?

October 20, 2008 by Julian Garcia

It is difficult to maintain a balanced diet, healthy and diverse, that meets the recommendations of nutrients nowadays, where time, or rather the lack of time, hinders the search for the quality of life. In all media, we have information about new products, food and novelties in the world of healthy eating, but not always know what, how and why certain products consuming and sometimes not have enough information to do so.
So I decided to put short, descriptive and functional, and consume products that are beneficial to health and easy to be incorporated into the daily diet.

Flaxseed: It is considered a functional food because it contains elements that may reduce the risk of certain diseases and their continued use can provide increased protection and reduction of organic rate of cellular aging.
Some studies say that flaxseed may help lower cholesterol levels due to high levels of soluble fiber and the presence of monounsaturated fatty acids, but there are other studies which are studied other properties of the food, as an aid in weight reduction, improvement of Digestive system, nervous system, immune, cardiovascular, among other functions.
The flaxseed is rich in Omega 3, and B complex vitamins, vitamin C, E and other minerals such as iron, zinc, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus and calcium.
The best way to consume that product is in powdered form to be better absorbed and have the possibility to be added to vitamins, yoghurts, salads, pasta and vegetables refogadas of breads, etc..

Sesame: The sesame is rich in vitamin A, B1, B2, E, niacin, calcium, phosphorus, iron, magnesium, copper, chromium, fiber and unsaturated fatty acids that help in reducing cholesterol.
The lecithin, found in large quantities in food, facilitates the dissolution of fat in water, preventing the cholesterol deposits on the walls of arteries.
It also contains protein of high biological value, formed by 15 amino acids.
The sesame can be added to bodies of breads, biscuits, snacks, salads and vegetables refogadas.

Quinua: The quinua, also called the quinua Real, is an excellent food of plant origin with high nutritional value. It is rich in protein and large amounts of vitamins such as B complex, vitamins C, E, and minerals such as iron, phosphorus and calcium.
It helps in the reduction of gastrointestinal problems in the integrity of the immune system, the regulation of cardiovascular functions in the process of healing, as the standard prostate, in control of anemia, urinary problems, liver problems, malnutrition, osteoporosis, among others.
It can be consumed with added vitamins or fruit and yogurt.

Barm: It is extracted from the fermentation of cereals. It is an excellent source of B complex vitamins that help regulate the intestinal bacterial flora and its. It also contains copper and selenium, and it is natural protector against radiation and pollution.
You can use 1 spoon of coffee a day of yeast, mixed in juice or water.

Whole Wheat: It is one of most cereals consumed in the world, good source of complex carbohydrates, fiber, protein and vitamins. It is also a source of glutamic acid, good for the reasoning
It is found in breads, pasta, rice, flour, biscuits and so on.

By adding these products in the daily diet you will increase your intake of important nutrients, which bring great benefits to health, and best of all is that it is super fast and easy to be consumed, it simply adds them to food.
