Buying Acai Berry Health Supplements

The tree itself is fittingly named, Euterpe was the muse of delight in Greek Mythology, and in fact the fruits of the Acai Palms are delightfully good for your health.

Acai Berries themselves seem like small round grapes, deep purple or green depending on variety, but with lesser pulp. The Acai Berry seed makes up 80% of the fruit. It has long been harvested by the Caboclo populations of the Amazon jungles as a source of food. In fact, Acai Berry comprises an amazing 42% of the food intake by weight of these natives.

Aside from combating free radicals, antioxidants also strengthens the immune system and leads to a strong increase in energy levels and stamina.

The Acai Berry also has essential fatty acids (Omega 3, 6, and 9) that help combat bad cholesterol while at the same time maintaining good cholesterol. Thus, helping prevent heart disease.

It's my 23rd HCG Day!

By Amelia Handley

I'm finishing up my homeopathic HCG diet. I'm so glad that I knew where to buy oral HCG online without a prescription. At the moment I'm finishing up the low calorie portion of the homeopathic HCG diet. I'm on day 23 of 25. It's getting right down to the very end and the excitement is killing me!

I got up this morning and weighed myself. I'm at 152; down two pounds from yesterday. That's good; especially since yesterday I went up a pound. I'm trying to decide if the getting up and weighing myself has now become a permanent habit. I think maybe it is going to be a new daily activity. I still keep the scale under the foot of my bed. I just pull it out and weigh myself each morning. If I keep it up I can be sure to always be aware if my weight starts to increase for whatever reason. It would make it easier to maintain.

I took my B-Total drops immediately after I weighed myself. (This is my favorite tool that I found when I found where to buy oral HCG online without a prescription). I went to take my HCG after I took the B-Total, but then I remembered that you don't take the HCG drops during the last three days of the low calorie diet. For lunch I made asparagus and filet mignon. I also had grapefruit and Melba Toasts.

For dinner I made the buffalo chicken salad. I really liked it last time. But this time I accidentally doubled the sauce. It was definitely too strong, but still pretty good. I had strawberries and Melba Toasts with my salad and it was great.

I also tried to focus on water a lot. I always considered myself a big water drinker, but doing the homeopathic HCG diet has made me question myself. Apparently I never drank enough water. So that's just one more good habit that I've developed during the course of the diet. I'd say that on average I probably doubled the amount of water I drink in a day.

I've lost a total of 19 pounds. That almost 20 pounds in 23 days. Yeah! I'm quite close to the average weight loss numbers published by the site. And I'm feeling like the 19 pounds makes a huge difference. - 17274

Supple Beverage Review

By Jay Holmes

The Supple beverage is a health drink that is being advertised quite heavily in the US. They are marketing this as a drink to help relieve arthritis and joint pain. It should be used as part of a healthy lifestlye and a blanaced diet. There are many products out on the market that say it will take away all the pain from arthritis but this article will investigate.

The promoters of supple drink claim it has powerful ingredients and that over 13 million people use their product. The plan consists of you having 1 bottle per day and they claim that you should feel significant results just after 7 days. They even give you a 30 day money back guarantee. One of the main advantages of a drink compared to tablets is that it is easier to absorb which leads to a greater beneficial effect.

The supple health drink contains some key ingredients such as glucosamine and chondroitin which are known to help relieve joint pain. You can also find antioxidants, vitamins and minerals that will also help in your defences to rebuild your cartilage. The fruit flavoured drink doesn't taste as nice as they make out but it is not awful.

The drink does show good results but maybe not in the seven days. It takes much longer to feel the results. More like around 90 days. This also depends on your lifestyle and your diet. I think it does depend on each person and if it does not work out for you then maybe take up the refund.

Your weight can have a huige impact on your joints. Having a large weight can have great strain on some of your joints, especially the knees and hips. The drink also helps in weight loss.

Overall the drink does work but there are cheaper options such as getting the same supplements over the counter. - 17274

My HCG Diet: Day 25

By Amelia Handley

Day 25! It's the last day on HCG. The 500 calorie diet is coming to an end. It was a successful venture, and I'm so glad I did it. But I'm also looking forward to not limiting myself to 500 calories per day. I'm really in the habit of taking the oral HCG drops which was fabulous while I was on it, but it's kind of funny now that I'm not supposed to be taking it anymore. (You don't take it for the last three days of the low calorie diet).

I'm at 150. That was the final weigh in as of this morning. So I'm down just one more pound. I officially lost 21 pounds in 25 days. I'm thinking that's a pretty amazing feat. And since I learned so many good habits while I was on the diet it's so much more likely that I'll stick to my new weight. I drink tons more water now. I eat healthy food and I know how to cook (and enjoy eating) a bunch of different healthy recipes. I weigh myself religiously every morning.

I thought about making one of the smoothies again today...but again, it was too cold. So I had fresh strawberries with some Vanilla Creme Stevia (just a tiny bit; last time I used way too much). With my strawberries I had some Melba Toasts and I made Turkey Tomato Soup. I'm still loving all the yummy soup recipes in the HCG Diet Direct cookbook.

I did the pitcher thing this morning to make sure I got all the water I needed. I didn't want to do anything wrong on my very last day! I'm aiming for perfection. It's my last chance.

For dinner I grilled some chicken (with my new favorite seasoning, Creole) and paired it with my favorite steamed cabbage and followed it with Mock Apple Cobbler. It was kind of like a mini HCG approved feast.

Sometimes people keep losing weight once they go on the maintenance diet (at least that's what I heard while reading the oral HCG reviews). I hope I'm one of them. Who wouldn't want to lose even more weight? But if I'm finished and I don't lose anymore weight I'm good to go! I've lost 21 pounds. And that's a fabulous success in my eyes! - 17274

What Can Acai Berry Really Do?

By Dr. Tim Hollingshead

By now most of us are sick and tired of seeing all of those phony weight loss ads claiming Acai Berry Powder to be the driving ingredient in so many pills. We have been bombarded with so much information regarding the acai berry it is difficult to separate fact from fiction. Some of the ads were so believable that even I had to go back and search the scientific literature to re-check the facts. The reality of Acai is that even though it will not magically melt your unwanted fat from your body it still has some rather impressive qualities.

I want to make sure that everybody reading this article knows that we make Dr. Tim's Brazilian Acai. We make this and other juices to taste as fresh as possible and protect the flavor integrity of the fruit. Now, in truth most of the exotic fruits that are marketed today including acai are not sweet and delicious. They are bitter and somewhat distasteful. There are some exceptions such as the inner fruit of the mangosteen and the maqui berry. Even the goji berry is tolerable. However the taste of many of these fruits is somewhat challenged because of the high level of antioxidants and polyphenols. Antioxidants and polyphenols are naturally occurring chemical compounds in these fruits. They contribute strongly to the bitter taste of these fruits especially when you take into consideration the high content of these compounds found in the fruits.

It is unreasonable to ask anyone to drink any of these juices without improving the taste. Yes, I know that there are some of you out there that believe that in order for something to be good for you it has to taste bad. (I have some dot com stock I'd like to sell to you.) So if these fruits have so much to offer in the way of health benefits why not make them more palatable? Some companies have taken this thought to the extreme and only use 10% to 20% of the specific fruit in their products and bury it underneath a lot of sugar and water and a host of other juices.

Currently selling in Costco is an Acai juice that makes some unbelievable claims. (Don't forget I still have that stock if you're interested.) The makers of that juice act as if they believe that acai juice will replace orange juice. Let me tell you that that will never happen. Here's why: #1 Cost. Acai is far more expensive than oranges. Also it takes a hundred times more acai berries than oranges to make a quart of juice. #2. Juice. Oranges have juice Acai does not. Each orange has juice and naturally occurring sugars that make it taste good. Remember that the acai is not a berry at all. It is a date. It has a thick hard shell with an even thinner layer of pulp surrounding an enormous seed. It has no juice! It has oils. The acai has to go through a process that literally beats the outer shell off of the seed. This process requires adding water to the pulp to allow it to flow through the machinery and into drums that can be frozen. It is from this pulp that acai juice is made. In the final analysis this Wal-Mart acai is probably less than 9% Acai and not a good choice if you are looking to benefit from this fruit.

Somewhere in the middle of all of the juices on the market we find the true nature and taste of Acai. And in spite of many of these companies and all of their marketing Acai really does have some remarkable qualities. You can take advantage of these qualities and benefits by knowing what to look for. Obviously you don't want to buy a Wal-Mart acai for the benefits of acai. First you look for content: Acai pulp, acai puree acai juice are the best forms of acai. Reconstituted acai, freeze dried acai or acai powders are lower quality products that have to have water added to them. Next, look for quality: The amount of acai in the container or per serving. 100% acai will taste absolutely awful. Unfortunately most companies do not tell you how much acai is in their juice claiming to protect a super secret proprietary formula. However there are a few companies that disclose the amount of acai in their products. Dr. Tim's Brazilian Acai has 85% acai. We are the only company to actually research the optimal acai content percentages balanced with other juices. We found that anything over 88% acai will have a bad taste to it because of the naturally occurring oils. We even did market research and found that most people prefer the ratio of 85% acai with the remaining 15% a combination of just two other juices. Additional findings demonstrated full benefits with this ratio. No wonder it taste so good and customers rave about the benefits.

Studies have proven that the antioxidants found in acai berry are absorbed by the human body and are distributed throughout by the blood stream. Other studies have demonstrated in-vitro killing of certain cancer cells. Acai contains oil that is better than virgin olive oil. It contains the fatty acids omega 6 & 9. Omega 3 has been found in the acai but in such incredibly small amounts that you would have to consume unreasonably large quantities to derive any benefit. It has protein and fiber. It has a special class of plant pigments or anthocyanins that give it a very high antioxidant capacity. It also contains naturally occurring B vitamins, iron and calcium.

Acai supports the following: Heart health, immune system, appetite suppression, improved energy levels, better sleep, relief from hot flashes, relief from inflammation including arthritis and prostate and improved circulation

So, you can enjoy the health benefits of acai if the product has a high quantity of the fruit, the right quality of the fruit and if you add it to your daily regiment as a dietary supplement. It tastes great in the morning along side breakfast or as a mid meal snack. Keep in mind that many Brazilians use acai as a food staple because of its high nutrient factors.

Alcohol Acting as a Barrier in Building Muscle

By Homaide Germaico

Consumption of alcohol can be extremely disastrous in the effort to enhance your muscles. It can ruin your desire to achieve a muscular and in-shape physique. It can significantly slow down the muscle building process and can completely stop it even. So at best its consumption should be avoided or at least it should be reduced to a bare minimum level.

Research has shown that diet plays the most important role in the muscle building process. Strict diet plans should be followed with clearly marking the diet you should avoid and the diet you should take. Alcohol definitely should always be avoided for the disadvantages that it carries. Its avoidance is mandatory for people looking to enhance their muscles. Otherwise, it can be absolutely lethal for the muscle building process.

The basic issue regarding alcohol is the lack of knowledge in people. Most of us are not aware of the negative effects caused by alcohol. The actual knowledge regarding the harmful effects of alcohol is still unknown to many people. Stopping the usage of alcohol in your life is not only better for your health but also for building muscles.

The below factors along with their explanations describe the influence of alcohol upon the development of muscles and how does alcohol drive down this process:

1.Damaging Impression upon Protein Manufacture: The course of amalgamation of amino acids that brings about the production of protein is termed as protein synthesis. The excessive use of alcohol badly drives it down and brings it to about 20%. As we're aware that the human muscles are a combination of proteins, so it is indeed a great drawback in this process.

2.Estrogen & Testosterone Levels: Testosterone is a very important hormone that enhances muscles. Reduction in its level can be very costly in our effort to develop strong muscles. It is because testosterone is the most important entity which determines that what exactly the range of our muscles for expansion is. Moreover, estrogen level should always be on a lower side.

3.Alcohol may bring about 'Dehydration': Kidney in human body is aimed at sorting great amount of water that falls down level of alcohol and saves the body from dehydrating. H2O is well thought-out a major factor in the process. Astoundingly, 70% of its reservoirs in the human body make up a muscle. Consequently, even a minor dehydration can also be catastrophic.

4.Diminishes Vitamins and minerals: Utilization of alcohol washes out a lot desirable amount of Vitamins and minerals from the body. They both are considered as the strength of character in the development and preservation of muscles. In addition, they also assist various functions of human body. As we have shortage of vitamins and minerals we will not be able to build muscle as we desire.

5.Alcohol inclines amassment of body Fats: Heavy drinking no doubt drives down blazing of fats. Disruption in the Kreb's Cycle can actually be the cause of all this. - 17274

Tips On How To Stay Healthy

By Tina Peters

Our health is an important issue to all of us as it should be in order for us to get the most out of life. We need to remain in good health in order to be productive doing whatever it is that we decide to do. No one wants to spend any said number of days in a hospital or a bed lying in pain or discomfort. Therefore we have to strive as a community, society and or people to understand what causes us to be ill and do everything in our power to fight against it. If we don't then we have to suffer from the consequences and again none of us want to voluntarily go through any of them.

The best way to remain as healthy as you can is to watch what you eat and drink and to also make sure that you try to get as much physical exercise for your body that you can. Following these two things will help to increase your life expectancy to its fullest and to hopefully avoid any future problems that can and sometimes are self inflicted.

The more you spend your life eating unhealthy and not exercising the more problems that could arise from not giving your body the proper and necessary things it needs to continue without complications. Most of the physical problems or diseases we can run into in life can actually be avoided or lessened to various extents.

Another issue that is important in this conversation is the area of mental health. Physical and mental health goes hand in hand. If at any point in your life you feel like you may have issues that you feel you need to talk to someone about that by no means is seeking counseling wrong. In fact it is highly encouraged and you never know what they may be able to help you with.

This is why it is extremely important to stay healthy. Doing so will help you live a better life. - 17274

Try The Dash Diet To Lower Blood Pressure - LR

By Lee Reid

The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute of the United States have always promoted the dash diet to control hypertension . The dash diet or the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension is a diet that limits ones intake of sodium. The dash diet though encourages the consumption of whole grain, fruits and vegetables, fish and poultry and nuts for snacks.

The consumption of red meats and sweets are a complete taboo if you are following the dash diet accurately. Therefore the diet is rich in magnesium, calcium, fiber, magnesium and potassium, which are essentials for good health. Keeping the blood pressure below 120/80mmHg is the major aspect of dash diet.

Although dash diet being not so vegetarian it will still encourage a newcomer to serve more nuts, vegetables and fruits than an average dieting person. Processed foods and junk food are not encouraged in this diet at all. For these there are healthy alternative snacks that have been suggested to fill in that empty void by satisfying that sweet tooth. "Your Guide to Lowering your Blood Pressure with Dash" which is a guideline book published by the NIH will indicate details of the diet. The guide also gives guidance on proportions and alternative foods that should be consumed when on the diet.

The dash diet has been proven to reduce the systolic blood pressure by 6 mm Hg. With normal blood pressure, people can still look for more healthier blood pressure with dash diet. Hypertension too has been known to drop from 11 to 6 with the dash diet. Risks of strokes and hear diseases are reduced immensely with the use of dash diets. So now not only does the correct utilization of the dash diet lower blood pressure and other hypertension ailments but also cater benefits beyond what anyone ever imagined . While doing all this, the dash diet also enables one to consume 1699 to 3100 dietary calories per day!

There are very few cons when considering the dash diet because of its successive balance of calorie intake and consumption control. But because this diet is high in fiber it may cause diarrhea and bloating in some people.

To counter this though one can just increase the quantity of fruit, vegetable and whole grain consumed. It will help to gain the required amount of water in your body once you take in more fibre. Once you are able to follow on with the dash diet, your health will have a proven effect for the lifetime. - 17274

Break Your Plateaus With His Bicep Busting Circuit

By Rob Maraby

Circuits are a very overlooked method of training for building your bicep. There an excellent way to overload and force your bicep into growth. If you haven't ever tried a circuit for your bicep then your missing out

What is a bicep workout circuit? A circuit is a bunch of exercises done back to back with little or no rest. Now circuits in them selves should not be relied upon fully if you intend to build big biceps. Usually circuits are intended to tone and shape your arms. But here is the good part about it; if you do circuits every once in a while and if you do them the right way like I will soon explain then circuits can be used to increase muscle size.

Don't make it a habit of using the circuit every time you have bicep training. That's not the intention of the circuit and that's not its goal. Unless your looking to lean your bicep out then maybe you should make the bicep circuit a regular go to. But to really utilize the strength of the circuit you should be already doing some sort of bicep training and use the circuit just to shake your bicep training up. Doing so will seriously increase the effectiveness of the circuit and it could be a weapon you can use to break through plateau

Here is an example of a bicep mass building routine

Alternate standing dumbbell curl 4 sets 10,8,8,8

Close grip standing curl 4 sets 8,10,12,12

Incline dumbbell curl 4 sets 10,10,12,12

Hammer curl 3 sets 8, 8, 8

This is an example of a mass building bicep routine. You should be doing something like this for a while before you decide to attack the circuit.

This is a sample bicep circuit routine.

Standing barbell curl 12 reps 20 sec rest

Alternating dumbbell curl 12 reps 20 sec rest

Preacher curl 12 reps 20 sec rest

Incline curl 12 reps 20 sec rest

Hammer curl 12 reps 20 sec rest

Reverse curl 12 reps 20 sec rest

To perform this bicep circuit properly you need to move from one exercise to another with only 20 seconds rest in between. You should use a weight that will allow you to perform 12 repetitions. In the beginning it will take some time to figure the right weights to use. But once you do you should be able to perform the circuit without resting. So for example perform standing barbell curls for 12 reps then rest 20 seconds then instantly move to the next which is alternating dumbbell curl then rest 20 seconds then so on and so forth. Once you have reached your last move the reverse curl rest for 2 minutes then repeat the whole circuit. You will do this three times and that will be your bicep workout.

Again I stress to keep the rep range at 12 and the rest period at 20 seconds. Stick tight to these guidelines and your bicep will respond with solid growth. Use this circuit every now and then to give it that extra boost. Train hard and don't get lazy and in no time you will have biceps you can be proud of - 17274
