More often than not, those in the public spotlight seek the quickest form of treatment which often translates to dental veneers.

Quick Weight Loss – Fasting

by Rod McDonald on Jul 24. 2010 in Weight Loss

A fast diet usually involves either not eating any food at all, or fasting on a specific type of food for a period of time.

But the main reason people choose to fast seems to be for the quick weight loss. Fasting is usually done for only a couple of days or possibly up to a week, because this type of diet can be dangerous if it is maintained for more than a few consecutive days.

Flexibility, Strength, and Fat Loss

by Rod McDonald on Jul 22. 2010 in Weight Loss

A recent study done at Brigham Young University in Hawaii suggests that those who weight train and add flexibility training to their repertoire can boost their strength gains by fifty percent.  The participants in the study lifted weights three times a week, and added stretching just twice a week to see those amazing gains.

How can flexibility help one lose body fat?  It all goes hand in hand.  Everyone knows resistance training is important to an exercise program.  Weight training increases muscle mass, and increased muscle mass helps to raise metabolism, burning fat even while you are at rest—which makes it the best exercise to lose weight.  Flexibility, in turn can increase your ability to make muscle.  If your muscles are more flexible, you can lift more, recover faster, and make the muscles work more effectively.
