4 things to be remember in body building


Bodybuilding isn’t anything that happens over the night. It is a process. It happens gradually! Keeping this in mind, I’m going to suggest 4 point (mentioned below) which all together I consider as a secret mantra of body building.

1. Consistency- The first and the most important point is consistency. No matter how much stamina you have, how dedicated, and how well you’ve planned your schedules, if you aren’t consistent nothing else matters. Ideally you should work out and follow your diet plan daily, but even 3-4 day’s work out is acceptable.

2. Efforts- As you start exercising, you lose your motivation after getting tiered. Then your efforts start going down. This shouldn’t happen. You must always remember your aim (perfect muscular body) and should ensure that you continue your efforts with full motivation.

3. Nutrition- understanding the needs of your body and then fulfilling it is extremely important if you yearn to get a picture perfect body. If you don’t do that, you won’t be able to get what you are really looking ahead at. Consult experts and get appropriate supplements of yourself for timely and absolute results.

4. Rest- Well, you may find this funny, bit is a fact that if you aren’t giving you body appropriate time to relax; you won’t get the exact output from your diet plan and work outs. You must make sure that you are taking a nap of 7-8 hours daily. Avoid late night working.

tips for better result in bodybuilding




Body building is something, for what every human being thinks for (sooner or later). But how many of us actually succeed in getting the desired body? Well, the answer is quite obvious-very few. Why so? It is because most of us quit body building in few days/weeks/months after we start, believing it is not our cup of tea. Indeed it is not as simple as we think, but it isn’t that complicated as well.
If you know how to do it and are ready to do it with dedication and consistency, then it’s more than obvious that you will get great results. Below mentioned are few tips that can help you to get the body you dream for:

1. Make a schedule – You can’t just get started and do whatever you want to. Make a work-out schedule. Dedicate one day for one part of your body and the other day for the other part and so on. For example, on Monday work on chest and shoulders and do exercises that are performed to improve these areas (like flat bench press).

2. Never forget the warm up -
Forgetting to warm up is the worst thing you can do while yearning to get a perfect body. By doing an efficient warm up, you prepare your body muscles for the work-out that you are going to do next. Exercising without a warm up is just like waking up and straight away going to office, without taking a shower or getting ready.

3. Keep a check on your diet – Stop quenching your hunger with 3 heavy meals a day! Rather take 5-6 light, but nutritious meals a day. This will cut down your weight gain and provide some real stuff to your muscles and strengthen them. That traditional ‘3 meals a day’ formula doesn’t works anymore. It can just make you fat and then fatter.

4. Stay hydrated – Water is something that has a vital role in the overall functioning of human body. Most of the ‘inside body’ processes requires water as a vital constituent. When we work out (either weight exercises or cardiovascular exercises), we sweat. The more we work out, the more we sweat. This leads to the deficiency of water in the body. If you don’t consume sufficient water while you work out, you may face few health issues. However, this doesn’t mean that you should drink more than required amount of water, as that may lead to vomiting. Just drink the amount of water you need. Apart from the work out, you must drink at least 2 liters of water daily.

5. Increase your resistance, but keep it gradual -Here the word ‘resistance’ is used for intensity. Intensity depends upon weight, speed and duration of workout. It is a general tendency that people who have just started working out, after 2-3 days believe that they have gained stamina enough to double the weight, or increase the repetitions and so on. This isn’t right. By doing this you can even hurt yourself. So, better keep this increment gradual
.
6. Take less rest between the sets and more rest between exercises – Time of rest totally depends upon the training or on your physical condition. If you are absolutely normal and doing general work out, then the rest time for you (between exercises) should be 2.5-3 minutes and between sets should be 1 minute. However, athletes with unlimited strength take even lesser rest. For hypertrophy and endurance, athletes optimal rest period is of 30-60 seconds.

7. Techniques matters – While you work out, one thing that matters the most is ‘the technique’. If you are doing an exercise and you aren’t aware of the proper technique to do it, then it is not just that you won’t get benefitted from it, but you can also earn yourself a bunch of problems like stretch in muscles, strain etc. So, make sure whatever you do, you do it right. If you are working out in some health club, ask your coach for the right technique, but if you are doing it at your home, make sure you have read about it enough and you know it well before you actually do it.

cause and cure of high blood pressure

There was a time when health issues like high blood pressure were limited to people in the 30s or so. But now days, these health issues are also being seen in kids and teenagers. Reasons behind it are many, which we will see in this article:

1. Being overweight – Well, this is something that is quite common in America and in other countries as well. Since science and technology has taken over every field, physical human work has been diminished significantly. Kids don’t go to parks for playing anymore; they are comfortable with their play stations. Office works no more require physical mobility, as everything is just a click away. And added to these, we hate walking, which ultimately leads a physical situation, we commonly know by the name of ‘overweight’. Studies show that 7 out of 10 high blood patients are overweight.

2. Too much salt intake - Who doesn’t like pizza? How can one forget burger, French fries, noodles, pasta and finger chips? These are such food items that we eat almost daily, don’t we? With the consumption of these eatables, the amount of salt consumed exceeds the amount of salt that should have been consumed, which is the direct invitation to high blood pressure.

3. Stress – Who in this busy world is not stressed? If you think it is just you, who after working all day in office, gets stressed, then you better ask your kid, who is in school, if he is stressed or not? You will surely get a ‘yes’ as answer. Kids, teenagers, housewives, office goers, businessmen, sports persons, and everyone else has to deal with stress. If you can handle it, you get saved, other- boom!

4. Older age – There are number of reasons why people don’t want to grow older. But which one is the most prominent reason? No, not getting ugly! It is the fact that when we grow older, we become easy prey for the diseases. The same goes with high blood pressure as well. With age, when our efficiency to hold back ourselves decreases, the chances to get high blood pressure increases.

5. Family history - if you have high blood pressure, then there are strong possibilities that you son//daughter could also get it from you. Studies have proved that hypertension also travels from parents to kids, and can be carried for generations. This may be surprising for you, but it is nothing else, but the truth.

6. Chronic diseases – There are several diseases, which bring high blood pressure along with them. Chronic kidney diseases especially bring it with them.

7. Smoking - There are so many commercials that loudly say that smoking is injuries to health, but why should anyone listen to it? Okay! Then face the consequences! Researchers have proved that smoking is one of the most prominent causes of high blood pressure. 5 out of 10 hypertension patients are chain smokers. So, quit smoking as soon as possible, because hypertension is nothing when we start counting the number of diseases that a smoker is likely to get.

8. Alcoholism - are you someone who enjoys drinking alcohol? Well, of course all those who drink it, enjoy it! But I mean are you someone who can’t help staying away from alcohol. Yes, addicted! Because if you are, then probably you will find it embarrassing that regular consumption of alcohol can bring hypertension at you doorsteps.

9. Gender – Well I am not a gender biased, but probably hypertension is. Yes, studies have proved that men are more likely to have high blood pressure as compared to women.

10.No-baby pill – Science has given us so much power that it has made human powerful like never before. Now we can control things that weren’t really meant to be controlled. For instance take the example of ‘birth control pills’. It is indeed a wonderful creation of science, but it too comes with a side effect. It can get you high blood pressure. So, take it at your own risk!

11.Lack of physical mobility – As discussed above, in this busy world, hardly anyone has time to be physically mobile. Forget work out, people don’t even want to walk. Well, in that case, you will probably not be surprised to know that physical immobility brings hypertension.

12.Ethnicity – It has been notices that people from Africa and Caribbean are more likely to get hypertensions than others.


What Makes Your Blood Pressure Go high

Medical experts have been twisting their heads from long time to know the exact answer to this question, but so far no solid illustration has been put forward.
But during the intense study of blood pressure, it has been noticed that in most of the high blood pressure cases, below mentioned have been the cause:
* Smoking- It doesn’t just harm your lungs, but also escalates your blood pressure.
* Overweight- It has been well said, “Overweight is the gateway to several biological problems”. It also makes your blood pressure go up.
* Excessive intake of salt- Our body needs salt, but when we take excessive amount of salt, our liver doesn’t accept it. Then the excessive salt goes to blood. Salt is hydro phallic. It attracts water, resulting in high blood pressure.
* Alcohol consumption- If more than 1-2 drinks are consumed in a single day for a long time, then it may lead to high blood pressure.
* Stress- On of the most important causes of high blood pressure.
* Hereditary issues- If you parents have it, you may also have it in you because of genetic transmission.
* Older age- it has often been seen that in elderly age, people suffer from high blood pressure.
Now, as you’re aware of the most common cause of blood pressure, you must take care of them.



Reasons Of Growing Hypertension


What causes high blood pressure, you must want to know if you are having this issue, or to your loved one in your relative, friend or so on. Well, yes here we will discuss all the causes which are responsible to develop high blood pressure in one’s body. Though, what is the exact cause of high blood pressure is still not known. In the development of it, there are several factors and conditions available which play a great role such as smoking, less physical activities, Being obese, salty diet, alcohol using, stress, genetics, old age, domestic history of it, adrenal or thyroid disorders, kidney disease etc.
These factors are playing a vast role in developing high blood pressure in one’s body. But what we have earlier said that the causes of hypertension are unknown then that is too true as in US 95 % cases of it are underlying reasons which have not been determined yet. This hypertension type is being called as essential hypertension. It is certainly a mysterious type of kind, as it links to some certain risky factors.
Mostly it affects men than women. In these criteria, age and race also play a vital role as in US black people are double as comparison of whites to have this problem, and the gap starts minimizing around age of 44. After 65, women ladies are most affected by high blood pressure problem.
Additionally, there are many other factors which cause hypertension and we will disclose them in our other posts shortly. So live healthy and live healthy, working on our articles.

high blood pressure and hyper tension




High blood pressure is a major problem from which a large portion of elderly population is suffering from. There are various reasons behind the emergence of this disorder but you can treat it very well with a slight change in your diet and life style.
There are kinds of foods that increase the blood pressure. They include sodium salt, high fat content, red meat, and many artificial oils. Patients suffering from high blood pressure are strictly told to lessen their salt intake. If you are too taste conscious then better to go with ocean salt. Too much of regular salt is observed to have a real bad effect on health therefore replace it with the ocean salt.


Hydrogenated oils also referred as artificial oils should be avoided in case of high blood pressure. Try buying food with the label no hydrogenated oil that will help improve your circulation and eliminating the fluctuations in the blood pressure levels.
Avoid eating junk food, fatty food, fried food, and oily food. These kinds of foods contain Trans fatty acid which in turn disturbs the internal system of our body causing a deep effect on blood pressure.
Excess of salt is bad and excess of sugar is too restricted in diets of then patients suffering from hypertension. As high sugar content is rich in calories and calories in turn gives rise to obesity which forma one of the major drawbacks in the treatment of high blood pressure.
It is easy to regulate blood pressure once you get control over your daily diet. Therefore eat healthy to stay away from hypertension.



Are you fat?
I know I won’t get ‘yes’ for an answer to this question from anyone. People hardly acknowledge themselves as fat even if they are. So, better rephrase this question- do you posses weight more than you should?
What do you say now? I believe now there will be many ‘yes’. Since it is yes now, I must tell you that excessive body weight is a big welcome door for high blood pressure. And those hypertension patients, who have high blood pressure and too much body weight as well, are the people who must be bothered the most as it is a fatal combo. So pals, better get rid of the unnecessary fat as soon as possible!
Wondering how?
Don’t worry I’ll tell you that in this very post. The first and the foremost (which I guess is quite obvious one too) – start exercising. You must have heard these two words many times but most of you would have said no to it assuming it will get you tiered and you’ll have to go crazy doing exercises.
I’m sorry to say, but this ideology is wrong. That is not what happens. No one asked you do start heavy weight lifting, stomach crunches, sit ups, bench press and other complicated exercises. Go for light jogging, evening walks, rope jumping and many other similar easy exercises.
The next point that I’d advice is diet control. Start it immediately. It will work more efficiently than anything else and let you lose your high blood pressure.

A new piece of information for all those who believe that heavy body weight just makes you look ugly. Well, it does lot more than that!
It gifts you diabetes, cardiac problems and even high blood pressure (HBP)!
In this post, we’ll see how awful heavy weight is for those who have high blood pressure.
In scientific language, they say body weight is directly proportional to blood pressure, which means the more one’s body weight is, the higher will be his/her blood pressure.
This is the reason why, when you consult a doctor for high blood pressure, the very first thing he’ll ask you to do is to lose body weight.
You’ll be shocked to know that the probability of treating a fat person with high blood pressure is significantly less than that of a fit person.
So, if you’ve heavy body weight (more than normal) and you have high blood pressure, then before anything else, lose your body weight. Then think of anything to control HBP.
You may do this by exercising, yoga and by planning your diet. But while you plan your diet, make sure that you don’t consume more amount of salt than normal. I said this because excessive salt increases blood pressure.
