Zumba Toning Sticks - Put Some Fun in Your A lot of people fail to lose weight because they find their usual exercise programs extremely boring. Going to the gym every day, running on the same treadmill and lifting the same weights in exactly the same positions is bound to get on your nerves after a few days. So how do you lose weight then? The answer lies in Zumba - a refreshingly unique dancing course created by dancer and choreographer Alberto "Beto" Perez. Zumba is a strenuous and highly active fitness program which has its origins in Latin dance. It has caught the attention of various fitness chains because it pumps new life into an otherwise monotonous weight loss program. To further the impact which this unique aerobic program has on its participants, Zumba toning sticks have also been designed. Losing weight and fat through Zumba alone is a lengthy process. Even though the tunes of Salsa, Merengue and Mambo melodies can get you to start dancing within minutes, losing body fat and strengthening the muscles takes time. To speed it up, the original innovators started teaching their students to use Zumba toning Sticks - light weight sticks to use while the regular dance routines to increase calorie burn. These Zumba toning sticks are like the regular XCO tubes which many dancers use in place of samba balls. Doing Zumba with these sticks puts pressure on various other body parts in turn shapes up your overall frame much more rapidly. These tools have dumbbells fitted on them help in spreading the effects of the dance to various parts of the body while you are doing the routine. This eventually helps in burning a much larger number of calories than what you would burn with simple aerobic or weight lifting exercises. Many people have also experienced more fun while doing Zumba which keeps them highly motivated to lose weight.

After 6-8 weeks, even highly unfit people can start doing lunges and squats with ease. However, ensure that you close each aerobic session with lateral stretching as this will properly cool your muscles and will prevent cramps and muscle deformities. So the next time you begin feeling that you are getting nowhere with your fitness program, buy Zumba toning sticks and start learning Zumba!

5 Tips for Gorgeous Skin The truth of the matter is that most have to work at keeping their skin beautiful and radiant. Although some might have been born with the "gorgeous skin gene," they still have to need healthy skin care habits to keep their skin looking fantastic every day. Taking care of the skin is a daily commitment. But it's not one that is totally unmanageable. There are so many skin care lines out there and there is a challenge filtering out the good from the mediocre. It's always wise to check out reviews before the purchasing any particular product. Below are some quick tips for achieving the luminous skin that we were all meant to have. PATIENCE: In the tech age, where we get instant solutions and answers, so many expect the same from our skin care products. This is not the case. It takes time for skin rejuvenation and patience should be a part of this process. Really, there are no quick fixes. Unless one is having an allergic reaction to their product and needs to switch it, professionals recommend using the product until the last drop. To make a clear determination on the success of a product it needs to be used until the end to figure out if it was effective. Taking a before and after picture is a great idea, too. For areas needing more attention, do take close up pictures to see if the products have worked its magic. SUNSCREEN: The sun is the number one culprit for premature aging of the skin. When outdoors, use an SPF shield of at least 30 and reapply it through the day. If this is ignored then visible signs of aging will include: • • • • • •

Age spots Fine lines Loss of elasticity coupled with slack skin Thick, rough skin Uneven skin tone Wrinkles

RETINOIDS: Although there is an array of formulas to help skin look beautiful, a retinoid remains a staple in skin care. This product, a vitamin A derivative, is one of the top products people reach for when it comes to anti-aging treatments. A retinoid based formula has helped with a variety of skin issues such as: • Reduces wrinkles and fine lines • Diminishes brown age spots • Renews skin texture and firmness • Promotes collagen production • Clear pores Retinoid usage is potent and may have the side-effect of skin dryness and redness. The best advice for first time users is to apply it every other day, and once skin becomes accustomed to it, increase the usage to daily. The key is to gauge skin tolerance. STICK TO A SKIN CARE ROUTINE: So many people start a skin care regimen full speed ahead and begin to putter out a couple weeks into it. Please try to avoid this and stick to a routine to get the most out of it. Also, try not to make the routine too complicated otherwise it will grow tiresome. Instead, have a handful of easy-to-use products you can use both day and night. A good routine includes a non-soap cleanser, toner, moisturizer, eye cream, and sunscreen. Also, more doesn't mean better. Don't apply too much - instead, put on a decent amount so it doesn't overpower the skin. The trick to having radiant skin is offering a blend of good product lines and protecting skin from the sun's harmful rays.

Chrondrotin and Glucosamine: These two compounds help support joint health by providing necessary fluids for joint lubrication, and by helping to repair damaged cartilage and connective tissues. Calcium: A necessary nutrient in maintaining of strong bones and teeth.

and

Iron: Iron is a mineral your body needs to keep you both physically and mentally strong.

Some of these mussel nutrients such as calcium, iron and amino acids can be found in a wide variety of foods that most people eat every single day. On the other hand, nutrients such as Omega 3 fatty acids, mucopolysacchrides, and chondrotin and glucosamine are difficult, if not impossible to get through diet, and far better to ingest through a high quality supplement - the green lipped mussels can give you a high concentration of all these important nutrients from one nutritional supplement. Where To Get Green Lipped Mussels The problem is that unless you want to move to New Zealand, where these precious mussels are found and eat them raw, you are not going to enjoy the health benefits that are available without taking a green lipped mussel supplement - eating them cooked or having them shipped isn't a viable alternative, because high heats and freezing these mussels destroys much of their health benefits. You must, however know what to look for in choosing a green lipped mussel supplement in order to get one that can do the most for your health. Here is what you need to look for when choosing a supplement.

Choose a supplement made from a powder extract not an oil extract. Oil extracts are made from the powder extract not from the mussels themselves. By using a double extraction process,the oils simply have less of the raw mussel nutrients than the powders do, making them less beneficial to your health. Choose a supplement that is made from live, freshly harvested mussels. As mentioned before,mussels that are frozen lose much of their effectiveness,and again this results in less of a benefit for your overall health. Don't choose a supplement that contains stabilizers. Stabilizers are synthetic chemicals that studies show may be dangerous to your long-term health.

By choosing the best green lipped mussel powder extract supplements, you can have all the important and diverse health benefits that the raw mussels are able to provide. Green lipped mussel benefits for your health and long term wellness are numerous, due to the very diverse and unique profile of nutrients found in the mussels.


LUTEIN FOR THE EYES - 3 COMMON VISUAL PROBLEMS IT CAN HELP PREVENT Imagine not being able to read this article because of failing vision. There's a simple way you can help protect your sight now and in the future - by including in your diet more lutein for the eyes. Lutein is one of 600 or so carotenoids found in plants, yet it and its relative zeaxanthin are the only two carotenoids found in the lens and retina of our eyes. Studies are confirming the critical role this nutrient plays in our visual health. There are two major reasons why consuming lutein for the eyes can protect and improve the health of our sight. •

It is an antioxidant that reduces free radical damage from oxidative stress. • It is a yellow-colored pigment that can filter up to 90 percent of the damaging blue wavelengths of light, acting like natural "sunglasses" to protect our eyes. Let's look at the visual problems this protective pigment can prevent. Age Related Macular Degeneration (ARMD) The macula is the area of the retina responsible for our sharp central vision. Those who suffer from ARMD lose the sight in the center of their visual field, making recognizing people and reading impossible. ARMD is the leading cause of blindness in people over the age of 50 in the U.S. The retina of our eye uses more oxygen than any other tissue in our bodies. Oxidative stress can wreak havoc if we don't have enough antioxidants in our systems to counteract the free radicals damaging our retina. Lutein's antioxidant powers have been shown to reduce the oxidative damage to our retinas that can lead to ARMD. Our retina is also damaged by the high-energy blue light portion of the visible spectrum. These blue wavelengths can penetrate and damage tissues in both our eyes and skin. Studies show that taking supplements of lutein for the eyes increases the density of the macular pigment, filtering the blue light and protecting the retina. In one study, a 6 mg daily supplement resulted in a 43 percent lower incidence of ARMD.

Cataracts The lens of our eye is very susceptible to damage because the cells don't regenerate themselves. Both oxidation and blue light can injure these cells, causing proteins to clump together and form cataracts. Cataracts can advance from a slight clouding of the lens to completely blocking the passage of light. They are the second leading cause of blindness after ARMD. Studies are showing that healthy diets with high levels of lutein and other carotenoids are associated with lower risk of developing cataracts. In fact, women with the highest dietary lutein intake had 22 percent less risk, and men had 19 percent less. Poor Visual Function Though both ARMD and cataracts usually develop with age, poor vision can be a problem at any time of life. Many things can stress our eyes. Research is showing that eating more lutein in foods or supplements results in people with normal vision experiencing less glare, improved color vision, and sharper vision overall. One study in China found that supplementing with 12 mg per day resulted in statistically significant improvement in visual function for people with long-term exposure to light from computer monitors. The Wrap-Up The importance of lutein for the eyes becomes clearer every day. It cannot be manufactured by our bodies, but must be taken in from food. Besides some edible flowers, the sources highest in lutein are leafy greens, green peas, broccoli, green beans, various fruits, corn, and egg yolks. I strongly believe the best thing we can do for our health is to eat plenty of whole fruits and vegetables. Experts say we need at least 6 mg of lutein per day to experience beneficial effects. That takes only one-third cup of spinach, but four cups of broccoli or six cups of green beans. If you don't want to be up to your ears in broccoli, consider taking a quality nutritional supplement. As an addition to your healthful diet, this is the easiest way to ensure your body is getting not only lutein, but many other nutrients it needs.

3 BIKINI BODY Transformation Tips

I also cannot stress the importance of the green stuff in your diet. Spinach, cabbages, collard greens et cetera - you name it. If it's green then it'll get you lean. Start to factor these in your diet as a replacement for conventional foods like rice and potatoes. You will probably need to learn how to cook these moderate to low carb, high protein meals too and there are a number of ways in which you can do that with many easy to cook recipes to be found online. Remember, always try to get organic food. It can have twice the nutrients of its non-organic counterparts. In other words, it's better for you! It's nearly the end of February and it's not too long before the almighty sun graces us with its brightness and its warmth. In just 20 odd weeks, you could totally transform your entire body by following a few strict principles and most importantly, sticking to them religiously. No, it probably won't be much fun - though the results in the mirror will fool you into thinking the regime is actually enjoyable. BUT you WILL get astonishing results and you WILL WOW just about everyone on the beach. So let's begin! 1. You are what you eat - Clichè? Yup. But true nonetheless. From now on, your diet will be geared towards the main objective of toning your body. This means you will up your protein intake and cut down on your carbohydrates. At this stage, a good idea would be to sacrifice egg yolks for egg whites, cutting down on bread in the morning and replacing it with oatmeal and also cutting the rice and replacing it with beans. You need not eliminate the carbs completely because you will need your energy reserves to be filled to the brim! You may also want to consider boiling your food instead of frying it also opting to drizzle just a bit of extra virgin olive oil (if you must) on it instead.

2. Workout regimen - While you can create a stunning bikini body via diet alone and many women do, adding muscle tone to your frame really sets your physique apart. It not only gives you the appearance of being as fit as a fiddle, it really accentuates your feminine figure by highlighting all the right areas. You will either need access to weights or an actual gym for this. To tone your legs, running is always recommended and it DOES an excellent job of that. Additionally, gluteus maximus exercises will take care of your buttocks and hamstrings while a good gym programme will beautifully sculpt your upper body. 3. Discipline - Cravings, cravings, cravings. Our transformation programme's main unit of currency is calories. What you are effectively doing is keeping the pendulum on one side whereby your calories are just below your daily requirements so that you are slowly shedding the excess pounds. A quick 'harmless' snack can quickly swing the pendulum the other way to the point where you are no longer in that calorie deficit.


5 Fitness Trends for the Year 2012 Each new year brings new fitness trends. You can't predict these trends with certainty, but one thing is for sure. According to experts, this year is going to be more fun, with affordable and accessible exercises. Read on to find out how to get moving with the latest fitness training trends. 1. Inexpensive health clubs If high gym membership fees is what has kept you out of the gym for long, you no longer have this excuse to hold on to! Many gyms are now opening their doors to people for a monthly fee as low as $10. Higher priced gyms are now significantly reducing their fees. Others are providing value-added services as grocery stores tours, nutritional programs and personal diet plans to offer higher value to their customers. 2. Social networking Incorporating social networking is the new twist in fitness training. Sites like Facebook and Twitter are playing a part in fitness professionals imparting valuable fitness information to their fans/followers. They also act as motivation support systems. SixReps, a new fitness social network, lets people communicate with others about their fitness regimen and create and share training logs. It lets you record your body statistics and training program. Users also get access to exclusive discounts, rewards and freebies. 3. Streaming workout videos Workout DVDs aren't out of fashion but many workout content providers are offering videos on a subscription basis. Dedicated web services can provide you unlimited access to workout videos for a fee ranging around $20 a month. This is a refreshing change from traditional workout videos as they can mix workout routines from new, upcoming videos.

4. Wellness Coach A wellness coach will work with you to modify your lifestyle for a healthier change. A recent survey by American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) identifies, "educated and experienced fitness professionals" as the number one fitness trend for the new year. According to experts, ideal candidates for wellness coaching are those who are not making progress with their fitness regimen. Costs for a session range between $50 and $150. At least three months are needed with a wellness coach to see any meaningful results. 5. Healthy eating Healthy eating has always formed the crux of a healthy lifestyle. But shopping for organic, fresh produce is expensive and preparing fresh meals at home is also time-consuming. This has prompted businesses like Meal Movement and Chef's Diet to come forward, which are catering not just to regular diners but also healthconscious eaters.

SUSHI - MORE THAN JUST RAW FISH Japanese cuisine has worldwide popularity and nothing is more synonymous with Japanese food than sushi. The term sushi is associated with raw fish dishes that we see as healthy culinary art forms that taste great! The forms and traditional types vary greatly. Raw seafood is the foundation for dishes that are consumed and stand on their own merit. Many presentations also include rice, nori (dried seaweed paper) and numerous other ingredients such as vegetables and some seafood that may already be cooked. It is not limited to raw fish and rice. Condiments such as soy sauce, wasabi paste, a distinctive cousin to horseradish, tofu, soy beans, eggs and mayonnaise are often components to some dishes.

Fish is a wonderful source of high quality lean protein. It is low in saturated fats, cholesterol, and carbohydrates. Salmon, mackerel, herring and tuna are rich in omega-3 fatty acids which are linked to many health benefits. Tofu, soy beans, nori, the dried seaweed wrapper commonly used in "rolls", are all excellent nutrient sources of minerals, calcium, vitamin D, folic acid and antioxidants. Not all ingredients are limited to raw fish. Shrimp, eel, geoduck, crab are often cooked before they are featured in a roll. The wide array of creative rolls and styles seems endless with something to suit any taste. One must be thoughtful about some of the ingredients in some contemporary rolls like cream cheese, fried foods, mayonnaise, soy sauce that greatly increase the calories, sodium and fat contained in your dish. Overall the benefits of enjoying sushi and sashimi are diverse and outstanding. The risks of eating sushi are very low but are worthy of consideration. The general contamination of seafood with mercury is virtually unavoidable. Unfortunately this neurotoxin contaminates all open waters of rivers, lakes and ocean. Some caution should be exercised in choices of fish variety and quantities consumed by those who are at greatest risk by mercury consumption. Women, who are pregnant, nursing or planning to get pregnant, young children, elderly or people who have a compromised immune system, should limit their consumption of seafood to only 12 ounces per week. Some species of seafood are likely to have higher mercury levels such as tuna, swordfish, shark and mackerel. This does not mean they need to be avoided entirely but consumed in limited quantities emphasizing variety with other kinds that may be lower in mercury content such as salmon, trout, crab and shrimp. There are other risks of undercooked or raw seafood which remain low if products are handled and stored properly. There are FDA guidelines for the industry which include freezing fish for precise amount of time to kill parasites. Still poor handling or dishonest vendors can provide tainted food that is contaminated with bacteria or parasites. The most common symptoms from eating contaminated raw fish are nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, headache and fever. One must rely on a reputable dealer and trust your restaurateur to provide sanitary products of high quality. Although eating raw seafood is simply of greater risk than cooked fish, experts agree the health benefits outweigh the risks. Enjoy the nutritional benefits of a wonderful culinary art with thoughtfulness and peace of mind. Strive for variety and eat sensible portions.

LAUGH YOURSELF TO BETTER HEALTH How many times have you heard, laughter is the best medicine? Did you see the movie Patch Adams? Patch Adams is a real doctor who believes humor can be healthy. Laughter and humor have been linked to better health physically and psychologically. I would like my doctor to write me a prescription for laughter as needed throughout the day. A good belly laugh can really center a person. Have you ever been with friends or family and the laughter and humor is flowing without effort and for those moments any depression or pain that may have been weighing you down are gone...you are centered, unencumbered. If only you could keep that feeling forever. There have been studies that have shown a link between humor, laughter and positive attitude with improved health and improved self esteem. There was a study done where undergrad college students answered questions on a Coping Humor Scale (CHS) and the Situational Humor Response Questionnaire (SHRQ). They found that those with the highest scores had lower levels of loneliness, depression and stress. They also had higher self esteem. They deduced that students with a sense of humor perceived themselves as having a higher quality of life. Humor has been used in different settings and for different reasons. One group of people that were studied were Midwestern females in their 50's diagnosed with breast cancer. The patients were asked about the coping mechanisms that they used for depression and pain. Topping the list was prayer and spiritual healing. After prayer was support groups, humor and massage. These coping mechanisms fall under something called complementary therapy (CT). CT is those things that may not heal or cure but make us feel better. Of course humor alone cannot heal a disease. But used in conjunction with conventional medicine, CT can alleviate pain and negative feelings.

As a paramedic, I have transported thousands of patients and humor has been a tool, in my med bag, that I used when I felt is was appropriate. There have also been times in my career, when working with a new medic and the inexperienced partner pulls humor from the bag at just the wrong time. Believe me it can be disastrous. When the patient doesn't laugh and the family gives a disapproving stare...that is when damage control and a heart felt apology is required. I believe in humor as a mental health staple. Everyday we need people around us who make us smile and lend some laughter to our day. An apple a day may be healthy but a laugh a day can give you immediate gratification.

The Reasons Walnuts Should Be Your Favorite Snack Food We have been touting the health benefits of nuts in general lately, as in a recent survey of US adults it was found that almost 95% of people ages 19-50 did not consume tree nuts of any kind. If people were more aware of the enormous health benefits of this wonderful food, perhaps more people would add it to their diet. Its major negative, that it is high in calories, can be discounted somewhat by the fact that studies have shown that people who add nuts to their diet have not had appreciable gains in weight. What are the reasons behind that? It seems logical that if you add a high-fat food to your diet, you will gain weight. Nuts are the exception for three reasons: 1. Nuts fill you up, and you feel like eating less at subsequent meals and snacks. 2. Your system does not absorb the fat content of nuts as well, but passes it through. 3. Nuts increase your metabolism.

So if you replaced high-fat, low-nutrition foods in your diet with nuts, you should lose weight as long as you keep those portions under control. There have been studies that back this up. Your recommended intake for walnuts, for example, should be about 1.5 oz per day, or about 20 walnut halves. So when you ask what are the healthiest nuts, walnuts rank near the top in total health benefits? They are rich in fiber, B vitamins, magnesium and antioxidants, and stand out from other nuts in their significantly higher levels of omega 3 fatty acids. The following are some of the reasons walnuts should be in your diet. 1. Cardiovascular benefits. Research has found walnuts to have the ability to decrease LDL cholesterol and total cholesterol and positively impact blood quality, as well as to reduce the risk of excessive clotting. These factors will help to reduce the risk of stroke and heart disease. 2. Lessen issues in metabolic syndrome. This isn't so much one disease as a conglomeration of overlapping metabolic problems such as high blood pressure, obesity, excessive blood fat and inadequate HDL cholesterol. One ounce of walnuts consumed daily for three months was found to reduce several of these problems, in addition to decreasing belly fat. 3. Anti-cancer benefits. Due to walnut's antioxidant and antiinflammatory properties, research has shown it to have high levels of anti-cancer benefits. Chronic inflammation and chronic oxidative stress, two of the greatest threats to promote cancer development, were lowered, as was prostate and breast cancer risk when fairly large amounts of walnuts were consumed. 4. Type 2 diabetes treatment. Although diabetes is an issue with blood sugar control and insulin maintenance, people with type 2 diabetes are at a larger risk for cardiovascular problems. A proper diet plan for those with diabetes should incorporate walnuts into their diet for greater cardiovascular maintenance. 5. Other possible benefits. Large amounts of walnuts have shown evidence of better bone stability, and the anti-inflammatory nutrients found in this nut has had a favorable effect on those with obesity. As stated earlier, if walnuts and other nuts are substituted for foods that are high in saturated fats, such as meat and cheese, and you can keep your consumption in moderation, there is an excellent chance you will see a drop in weight.
