4 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD DRINK MORE WATER.

Did you know that more than two thirds of your body weight is water?

I am sure you have heard people going on about how important water is and that it is good for your body, well they were right.

Your body needs water to function, a human being can live up to three weeks and some days without food but would not last 7 days without water!!

Water has a number of benefits, here are four benefits I felt were worth knowing, especially for people like you, people that are trying to get in shape, enjoy :)

1) Lubricates your joints and helps reduce joint pain. (those of you that run or lift weight)

2) Gets rid of waste and toxin

3) Transports nutrients

4) Speeds up your metabolism, so if you are fat, chances are you may need to drink more water.

How much water should I drink?

8- 10 glasses should be enough, just make sure you spread it throughout the day so that you do not rush to the bathroom all at once.

Symptoms that you do not drink enough water?

1) Bad breath.......(just kidding)

2) Dizziness

3) Dry mouth

4) Tiredness and fatigue

5) Constipation

There are many more, these ones are just more common.

3 FOODS THAT ARE IMPORTANT IF YOU WANT TO GAIN MUSCLE..

Want to gain lean muscle? Okay read on...

Ever heard of the phrase "you are what you eat" yes? no? well it is true. You would think Keri Hilson ate a HUGE plate of sexy huh lol! Seriously though, what you take in can make or break you in many ways.

When it comes to the gym and muscle gains, your diet should be the single most important part of your programme because messing up that area would mean you will never achieve the physique of your dreams.

Well having said that, here are 3 foods that you going to need if you want to see significant amounts in muscle gains. 

1) Egg whites: In short your body needs protein to grow, and egg whites are one of the purest forms of protein in the world (besides all successful bodybuilders include egg whites in their diet.)

2) Chicken/ Turkey: You need to eat lean meat like these, they are high in protein and low in saturated fats.
They easy to prepare, tasty and you can include such lean meat in a number of meals.

3) Fish: This includes salmon, tuna, sardines and fresh water fish. These are all excellent sources of protein and essential fatty acids like omega 3 which is important in the muscle gaining process. GOOD LUCK!

TESTOSTERONE

Hi there, today I am going to be speaking about TESTOSTERONE, do you know what it is?
There are so many myths and misconceptions surrounding the topic of testosterone, so I am going to shed some light on the topic and hopefully answer some of the questions you might have concerning "test".

WHAT IS TESTOSTERONE?

- Testosterone is a hormone found in the human body, in men it is mainly secreted or produced in the testicles and in women it is secreted in the ovaries. (Men produce about 7-8 times more testosterone than women do.)

WHAT DOES IT DO?

- In men, testosterone plays a key role in the development of male reproductive tissue like the testis and prostate.

- It also promotes secondary sexual characteristics like increased muscle, bone mass and growth of body hair.

TESTOSTERONE AS A STERIOD.

As a steroid, testosterone or test as it is affectionatively known belongs to the androgen class of hormones.
It is effective when it comes to muscle gains, if you were to give a survey to steroid users, there is no doubt in my my mind that testosterone would be ranked #1 on everyone's list. (Man this stuff really works.)


It is one of the most effective tools when it comes to maximum muscle and strength gains in a short space of time.


Proper usage of testosterone can yield AMAZING results and can blast you way past your natural limitations, however I must stress the fact that testosterone does have some serious side effects that will probably leave you with a frown rather than a smile.


The side effects are totally avoidable provivded that you do not abuse the substance and you carry out a proper research and find out what are the do's and don'ts before you even think of using the product.

"KNOWLEDGE IS POWER, SO DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR AND GET EDUCATED"

Below are a few pictures of steroid users incase you were wondering what they look like.....hope you enjoyed reading, please leave a comment and let me know what you think.

Sugary Drinks make you fat!!

Hi there, in my last post I did say I was going to enlighten you on three things that make us fat. Midnight snacking was the first, well today I am going to share a little concerning sugary drinks.


We all love sugary drinks right? Just kidding but at least most of us like them, that I am sure of. What if I told you that refined sugar was the leading cause in obesity over fatty foods. Shocking I know but it is true.

Sugar is directly converted to fat by your body, so in simpler terms, THE MORE SUGAR YOU EAT THE FATTER YOU WILL BE!

Many people think that the main reason for weight gain is fatty foods, this is however not true, sugar is.

What is sugar?

Sugar is pure, refined carbohydrates derived from plants such as sugarcane or beet. The table sugar we eat is called sucrose.

So how does sugar make me gain weight?

When your sugar intake is high it increases the glucose level in your body therefore giving you an energy boost. So your bodies natural response to that problem is to release insulin which is a hormone designed to lower those sugar levels if too high and the lower your sugar levels, the more hungry you feel and the more you eat. These extra calories are stored in your body as fat (usually around the belly area.)

How can I reduce my sugar intake then?

There are a few things you can do to reduce your sugar intake and live a healthier life and look sexy all at the same time :)...

1) find out where most of your sugar comes from, is it from sugary drinks? sweets? cakes? chocolates? etc...

2) avoid cool drinks, they are unhealthy. If you find it hard to completely cut out soft drinks at first, then reduce your intake and drink more water instead, this will help maintain a healthy weight.

3) watch out for foods like the ones in the list below, they are very high in sugar levels....

-canned or packed fruits

-cakes

-pudding

-muffins

-sweetened breakfast cereal

-soft drinks and energy drinks

-flavored yogurt


Thank you for reading and good luck on lessening your sugar intake, I promise you will definitely  not regret it. Leave a comment and let me know what you think about the post, ask questions or alternatively drop me an email....... :) 

  

The proof is in the results.....or pudding lol

Here are just a few pictures of myself that I took in the last month or so.....the purpose of this is to show you that I do practice what I preach unlike most fitness bloggers, I really do care about helping people achieve the goals they want. I think we can both agree that I am in pretty good shape So take it from someone who knows what they are talking about.

WHY DO PEOPLE GET FAT??

Hi there, you probably wonder what make you fat besides eating too many fatty foods...well there are a few other reasons as to why you are gaining those extra unwanted kilos. Over the next two days I am just going to highlight 3 of them.

1. Midnight snacking: 

I know a lot of us are guilty of this one, its so convenient for us right? We eat in the comfort of our beds or sneak to the kitchen late at night and its you and the fridge full of goodies and one else. Sounds good but unfortunately it affects us in ways we do not like.

-this is how you gain the extra weight: Our metabolism is the rate at which our body uses energy in order for the body to sustain itself. So this means that whenever we eat our body obtains calories from the food and converts it into energy and we in turn use that energy to do our daily activities like run, walk, swim, exercise etc. So it is safe to say our metabolism works faster while we are awake and active.

So eating just before you sleep or in the middle of the night is bad because your metabolism works much slower while you are asleep due to your body not being very active, I mean you sleep for goodness sake, you do not need so much energy!

-from energy to fat: So your body obtains energy from the midnight snacks you consume and while you sleep, the body uses what energy it needs and the rest of it is converted to fat.

-help what should I do to change this?: Most people eat their supper at 6pm which is the standard time for most people to eat their supper, so you could do that too or alternatively eat at least 3 hours before you sleep because the body will probably be  able to digest the food properly in that amount of time, and another thing to consider is why you wake up late at night in the first place? why is your sleep disturbed?

I will cover more reasons as to why you gain unwanted fat in my next post and how lack of sleep can make you gain weight and how that problem can be fixed :)
