Constipation Remedies To Relieve Bowel Discomfort

By Peter Horton

This is something in your life that cannot be avoided. You can run and you can hide, but eventually you will experience constipation if you have not already. No one enjoys constipation and we all seek ways to get rid of it. Luckily, there are constipation remedies out there for this disruption in life. Reasons for constipation can be: lack of exercise, dietary, pregnancy, and age.

Do not get discouraged. There is a light at the end of this dark tunnel. If you have stopped exercising and started to experience trouble having a bowel movement just try starting your exercise routine again. In the event that you stopped exercising for some reason that is beyond your control there are other remedies that we will get to further on.

Sometimes changing the type of food you or eat or the times you eat can throw your body off schedule. I have a friend that when she drinks her morning cup of coffee she knows she is going to have to go use the restroom. If she does not, she immediately thinks something is wrong and tries to figure out what she did or did not eat the day before. She is basically off the whole day.

Another change to be aware of is when women become pregnant they may not even realize that they will soon become constipated. They almost go hand in hand. You have another life growing inside of you taking up residency. There is no longer any room for your organs. This makes it harder for your body to digest food and get rid of waste.

Obviously, as you can see from what I have stated above anyone at any age can become constipated. When you become older, though, your body naturally slows down. It becomes harder for the body to excrete wastes without some sort of assistance.

Remedies to fight constipation vary from natural to medicinal. The right remedy for you may not be the right remedy for your friend or neighbor. Sometimes it is a combination of remedies that will work. So, find what works for you. For some people starting an exercise routine does the trick. Simply try walking everyday for 15-30 minutes. This will stimulate your body to digest food and get rid of it. Try getting more fluids everyday. Drink lots of water. This will help in softening your stools.

Adding extra fiber to your diet everyday will provide that boost needed. You get extra fiber in many ways, whether it be through foods such as yoghurt and cereal, or through the use of daily supplements. Gone are the days of prunes being the only source of getting extra fiber. Apples, bananas, and dark green vegetables are another good source of fiber. These are all just basic items that you can purchase at almost any grocery store.

There are many over the counter products that are designed to help relieve constipation within a day or two. Make sure that you check out a product before buying it and always follow instructions. A pharmacist can assist you. The best remedies are those with natural ingredients which you will be able to source online. Natural remedies are generally safer and reduce the risk of any side effects.

Just remember that constipation can be relieved. The trick is figuring out how to relieve yours. Sometimes just one of the options above will work for you, but sometimes it may take a combination of the options. If you still do not have a successful bowel movements then you should contact your doctor. - 17274

What You Should Look For In A Weight Training Program

By Mitch Graves

Do you often go to the gym and ask "What am I gonna do today?"

If you're like most people that I see in the gym then you just go, lift, and go home and HOPE you'll see some growth. If you're just a little smarter, you'll eat or drink something after, and if you're just a little smarter, you'll go in with a particular "muscle day" in mind.

Does this strategy produce long term growth?

Well the likely answer is "no" like most people. They think the solution is in the bottle so they take a supplement. Or they may switch workouts. Well, both of these approaches are WRONG.

Stagnation and frustration are a result of not lifting with a PLAN in mind. If you start without a good weight training program customized for you, it's like going to class with no books, or starting a business without a business plan.

It may sound foolish because it is. The secret isn't in the bottle or in the workouts. Quality weight training programs adapt to you as you get stronger and last several weeks.

Personal trainers wouldn't last long if they didn't create a plan for you or went to the gym with you and asked, "let's see what we'll do today". If they did, you'd ask for your money back and laugh. But I see so many lifters go into the gym to build muscle this way. To stop this, I've listed the five things you need in a great weight training program.

1. Expert Knowledge

You probably don't have a degree in how to build muscle unlike the creater of these programs. You can use this advantage to borrow from their years of experience and knowledge to shortcut you to your goals.

2. Step-By-Step Layout

This takes away the guessing about what to do that day in the gym. Basically, the only way to fail is if you don't do it.

3. Full Package

Any personal trainer will tell you that its a hassle to put together a nutritional plan, a weight training plan, and a cardio plan. Let alone trying to do this yourself without the proper knowledge. Gret programs include all of this for you.

4. Customizable to Your Specific Goals

The difference between a person that wants to cut and a person that want to gain is huge. The program should be customizable to your specific goal as well as to your metabolism, body type, etc. So it's easy to see why the magazine workouts dont work.

5. Several Weeks Long - Enough Time for Results

It takes time to see significant growth in your muscles. A four week magazine workout just won't cut it. When did you ever sign up for a personal trainer for 4 weeks? A good program will guide you for months. As you learn more about your body, you'll be able to create your own when it's finished.

Conclusion

You don't want to try to build muscle without a program. That's like driving across the country without a map. You drive toward your destination and HOPE your gas doesn't run out before you get there. This isn't a good plan, so it's time for a better strategy.


Happy Lifting and Good Luck! - 17274

Fitness Tips for Bodybuilding and Weight Training

By Melaine R. Watts

Bodybuilding and weight lifting offer several health benefits, and can complement your usual cardio routines at the gym. If you're interested in increasing muscle size and strength, you can focus on strength training to start reducing body fat, building up lean muscle and improving your endurance. However, there are specific guidelines to follow to ensure you're maximizing your workouts and getting the muscle gains you want. Here are some essential tips for the beginning bodybuilder:

1. Set realistic goals. Bodybuilding is not a shortcut to attain your desired body but rather a continuous process towards fitness. Be honest with yourself about how much time you can commit to this endeavor. Your results will largely depend on the time and effort you put into your training. You should design a bodybuilding program that you can perform over several weeks.

2. Perform cardiovascular workouts as well. Cardiovascular workouts develop stamina and endurance and these would help you in your bodybuilding workouts. When starting out, look to incorporate three or four thirty-minute-sessions of cardio per week into your program.

3. Change your workout routines regularly. Bill Pearl, the author of the bodybuilding and weight training book "Getting Stronger" emphasizes the importance of adding variety to the routine. Ideally, you will want to change your entire routine every four to six weeks so that different muscle groups can be pushed to their fullest potential, and you still enjoy your workouts as the weeks go by.

4. Dress the part. Make sure you're wearing the right shoes and comfortable clothing when training. You don't want to get injured because of wearing poorly fitting shoes, or because you end up overheating at the gym. Make sure you're comfortable in your outfit, and invest in some quality clothing and gear to keep you motivated.

5. Take your 'before and after' measurements. Taking pictures and measuring yourself frequently throughout your training program can be very motivating and help you stick with your program for the long term. Keep track of your progress with pictures and a workout log; you don't have to share these with anyone, and can turn to them whenever you're feeling unmotivated or 'stuck in a rut' with your workout routine.

6. Mental Training. You might think that weight training and bodybuilding is purely physical, but your training would also involve a great deal of your mind as well. You would need self-discipline to stick with your program. You would also need determination and concentration to go through pain and difficulties. You would inevitably develop mental toughness as you push yourself to your physical limits.

Starting out a bodybuilding program is not hard. Just remember to put in the necessary time and effort in your commitment and you'll soon see noticeable results in no time. - 17274

Just Watching Out for UPS

By Amelia Handley

This is Article 8. If you've missed the first seven articles...go backwards and catch up because it's a series that will take you right through my process as I do the HCG diet. My friend, Lisa, is doing it with me. It should be great. (Well...it will be tough, but the results should be great!) At the moment I'm just waiting for my package from UPS! I ordered it the day before yesterday so I keep trying to tell myself that it's too soon to expect a package that I didn't expedite in the first place, but I can't quite stop glancing out the window when a vehicle goes by.

I checked with Lisa just to make sure she hadn't received her's yet. But she's still waiting just like me. We're still watching for the delivery man. I have to admit that I hope I get mine first. I'm so accustomed to the speed and convenience of online shopping that I'm thoroughly spoiled. One of my requirements for the diet was to be able to buy HCG with a Mastercard, Visa or Discover card. Another requirement was to be able to buy it online and see it arrive on my doorstep within the week. Those are my generic expectations. And I'm figuring that they're going to be met! Any experienced online shopper would expect no less!

Thus far HCG Diet Direct is meeting my high expectations! I already got to buy it online. I was able to buy HCG with a Mastercard, Visa or Discover. Their checkout system was easy and secure. So the only thing I'm waiting on to fulfill my minimum requirements for purchases is for it to be delivered to my door. Hence my impatience directed at the UPS guy. But considering the fact that they updated my order status to "shipped" just a few hours after I made the purchase...I expect it to arrive quickly.

So I'm pretty happy with HCG Diet Direct so far. Their website was easy, informative. Their checkout process was secure and simple. And I did have the option to expedite my package; I just didn't want to pay extra since I wasn't really in that big of a rush. So the fact that I keep checking my porch for a package that hasn't yet arrived is entirely my fault. I just need to calm down a bit and pretend I know how to be patient. To distract myself I've been pulling up different recipes posted online for use with the HCG diet. They're pretty much EVERYWHERE! I'm not sure if some of them are actually following the rules, though.

So since I'm unsure if they're following the rules or not I didn't print any of them off yet. I'll wait to see the guidelines presented in the literature HCG Diet Direct is going to send along with my products. That way I won't get excited about any recipes that don't actually fit within the approved guidelines.

So far I'm totally following the rules. But so far it's just in theory. I don't actually have to restrict my eating habits yet. But I'm planning on being very, very good. Because honestly...I'd really hate admitting that I wasn't good in any upcoming articles! Hopefully my package will arrive tomorrow. If so...it will be in my next article. - 17274

Stretching Is Necessary

By Gerrad Mills

The body is flexible. It is meant to be flexible. You have to be able to bend and reach that something you dropped on the floor. You must be ready to zip the back of your favourite dress on your own. You must be in a position to reach that book you need to read at the highest shelf.

These are straightforward activities. Nothing grand about them, you just stretched out a bit. However , if there are problems in doing such straightforward motions, then you've got to stretch your limits. You already need a stretching program.

What is Stretching?

Stretching is simply the act of extending to full length the body or simply a some of it. This activity involves straightening or stretching the structure or the limbs.

How does one Do the Stretching?

Stretching is reasonably simple. As mentioned in the introduction, it is involved in the normal activities. It can be done by any people, regardless of age.

However the extent of stretching and flexing differs. The muscles tighten as a person ages. The range of joint movements can be minimized. This may very well obstruct an on-the-go lifestyle . That's why as the person grows older, bending or flexing becomes more limited. This is the reason why stretching regularly, as an element of a routine is very important.

Simple stretches can be done everyday . It can be incorporated in the way of living and the daily activities. It doesn't require much of your time.

Stretching exercises may also be done while training. Actually , stretching is an essential part of any coaching or sport. It has got to be done first before anything more. Stretching the body and the limbs is a good preparation for a more severe activity.

Most athletes would do the sit and reach, whereby they position on the floor, extend their legs and reach the tip of their foot with the tip of their hand. Actually , most trainers really need their athletes to actually do the stretching before playing.

There's basically an ideal period of time in stretching. It's best to do it in ten mins. This may give the body enough chance to move and flex the muscles, therefore preparing it for more complicated and tiring movements.

professionals however would scowl upon going way beyond 10 mins. Stretching the exercise to thirty minutes or more will already wear out the body. This won't be favorable if you are gearing up for a game.

What Are the benefits of Stretching?

one. Increase the Range of Movement As one constantly do the stretching exercises, the length of the muscles and the tendons are also increased. This will help in accelerating the range of your movement. Thus, the limbs and joints will be able to move, way before an injury can take place. You are definitely physically fit.

two. Increased capability to Perform skills When you have a wide range of movement, the more that you will be able to do more things. For example, you can jump high without feeling any pain when you land back on the floor. This will also help you start a new sport or improve more if you are in one. Stretching in this aspect also permits you to have a more active way of life.

3. Injury Prevention One can stop injury to joints, tendons and muscles with stretching. When the muscles and tendons are well-flexed, they're considered in good working order. This will help in a quicker recovery and decreased tenderness. The muscles of the body will be ready to take more exhausting and comprehensive movements with less likelihood of being injured.

four. Reduce Muscle stress If the muscles are given their regular exercises and stretching, it is less likely that they can contract. This will definitely relieve you of any muscle pain or issues.

5. Enhance Energy being able to move more will also give you more energy. Stretching will also help enhance your awareness, like realizing that you've a body that is capable of doing many things. As such, you are going to be more driven to move rather than sulk in the corner.

six. Reduces Cholesterol Research also shows that doing prolonged stretching exercises, like yoga, can help reduce the cholesterol in the body. This of course must be done with a sensible healthful healthy diet to hand. This could stop and even reverse the toughening of the arteries, permitting you to avoid coronary diseases.

Incorporate stretching in your everyday way of life. It has benefits you can not say no to. It also does not require much. It can be your usual activities, bending and flexing now and then. Of course , your fitness is everything so do what is needed to keep the body healthy. - 17274

Can Taking The Prescription Drug Warfarin Cause Me To Be Subject To Easy Bruising?

By Carolyn Cooper

If you were to think of bruises in a normal context, you would probably only be considering the off-colored marks that take place when you have fallen down or when you have bumped into something too roughly. Your thought process would probably change if you looked down and suddenly determined that you now had unexplained blue and purple bruises on your extremities. For people taking the prescription drug Warfarin, this sudden realization is a too common occurrence, but if you are new to using Warfarin, you would probably find this situation startling.

Warfarin is generally prescribed to people who tend toward developing thrombosis or for those people who are dealing with an existing blood clot. Taking Warfarin can help reduce the level of risk of embolism formation by reducing the size of the existing clot and then aiding in the prevention of new clots forming. Another candidate for Warfarin are people who have recently suffered a heart attack.

If you have been prescribed Warfarin, you may find that you are now noticing purple bruises on your arms and legs that didn't seem to appear before you started your new subscription. While the bruises are probably caused by taking this prescription, you still need to understand why the bruising is occurring and how you can help prevent it.

In the first place, be aware of the fact that Warfarin is a blood thinner and anti-coagulant. This drug prevents blood clots through reducing your body's ability to clot blood by inhibiting the action of vitamin K, and because of that, relatively minor contusions will bleed more than they would if the Warfarin was not being taken.

If you understand the way that a bruise is formed, you will know that a bruise is caused by a blood vessel under the skin breaking even when the skin above does not. The breakage allows blood to pool beneath the skin, which gives bruises their typical dark coloration, and if more more than one blood vessel is broken, the resultant bruise will be darker and larger than one from a single broken vessel.

Bruises can be very dramatic when a person is using Warfarin, because the blood is not clotting, and more blood comes closer to the surface of the skin. Consider all the times when you bark your shin, or when you bump into a countertop or a doorframe. When using Warfarin these instances can cause bruises that look like you have tumbled down the stairs.

If you are concerned about how you can prevent the bruises that occur because of Warfarin, you should first speak to your doctor. There might be additional medications that can reduce these effects of Warfarin or actual replacement drugs for Warfarin, but these alternative drugs may be considerably more expensive and less convenient. Remember that the blood thinning properties of Warfarin is the primary reason for it being prescribed.

However, this does not mean that you need to be helpless when it comes to dealing with your easy bruising either. This is where the unique, all natural formula found in the Bruises Be Banned daily program can be very beneficial. You might not always be able to be as careful as you like, but once the bruise becomes inevitable, take steps to do something about it. The Bruises Be Banned daily program can help fade existing bruises in a matter of days, but more importantly, it can help you reduce bruising easily or prevent bruising altogether before they occur. - 17274
