Ive heard many things and read several articles but can someone please help me settle this. I see during games in the nba that players drink gatorade, but when i play basketball people say water is the best way to stay hydrated. Do the electrolytes in gatorade really help you perform better during a basketball game? Please be specific.Learning about the in’s and out’s of internet marketing can be difficult unless you have a great mentor and where can that mentorship be found? If you really want to succeed online you must get yourself a copy of Commission Blueprint 2.0 created by Steven Clayton and Tim Godfrey. The tools alone are worth the cost alone. Best wishes!

water!! gatorade/powerade is for after but i guess the new powerade stuff is fine

Based on spontaneous physical activity and nutrition survey how do these areas impact on one’s total health?

What do you mean by spontaneous? Because you do need some kind of plan to increase or improve health and fitness. You can change or vary your routine, but there needs to be underlying plans or principles.Just a little bit of new information today for all those internet marketers looking for the best new up and coming release for 2010. Be on the lookout of Niche Blueprint 2 coming on January 11, it is going to be huge and change the ecommerce marketplace.

Stress relief, superlearning, heightened focused concentration, creativity, superlearning, easy changework, instant Samadhi. These are goals that can be reached if you use a Light and Sound Machine. Sometimes called a Brain Machine or Audio and Visual Stimulation (AVS), these devices allow the user to reach states of being in a controlled way.

Neurologists have studied the brain since the late 1800’s seeking ways to help people with brain injuries and learning dysfunctions. Recent discoveries have reached the general population. If something can help a subject with a learning disability or brain injury, what could it do for a “normal” person?

The brain has 100 billion neurons generating and transmitting electrical signals. These signals can be detected by devices called EEG machines (electroencephalograph) One of the big discoveries was the correlation of brain waves to states of being. Stress, alertness, relaxation, mediation, and sleep have been shown to match particular wave patterns. Neurologists have given these brain wave patterns names taken from the ancient Greek Alphabet. Typical alert behavior registers at 30 or more hertz (cycles per second). Alpha state is a condition that is easily achieved by closing the eyes and relaxing. 7-13hz is the range for the Alpha condition. Sleep is the lowest frequency at 0.5 to 3hrz.

The most difficult state to achieve and maintain is the in-between state of Theta (3-7hz). It is the state found in the brains of meditation masters. Many students of meditation work for years to reach the Theta state reliably and consistently. Either the mind wanders off into some train of thought or it falls asleep. What if there was a way to quick and easy way to learn how to meditate?

In the late 50’s a radio broadcaster named Robert Monroe was experimenting with sound tones for super-learning. He discovered that sound frequencies created certain effects in the brain. When two different frequencies are played in both ears the brain will resonate at the vibration that is the difference between the two tones. If one tone is played in the left ear at 110hz and 100 is played in the right ear the brain waves will resonate at 10hz, which is the same as Alpha Waves. The same effect is triggered by flashing or flickering light. That is why looking at a campfire is so relaxing. The flames just happen to flicker at the alpha rate. He coined the term Frequency Following Response (FFR).

Light and Sound Machines are devices that bring that experience from the lab into your home for a fraction of the cost. Typically they consist of a controller, stereo headphones and lightglasses. The controller is a computer that creates the light and sound sessions. There is a user interface for selection of time, and the combination of desired frequencies or brain states. They can be selected manually, or a pre-programmed session can be picked. Headphones provide the sound with high quality comfort. The lightglasses are like opaque sunglasses with two or more LED lights positioned over the eyelids.

Here are some features that can be found in superior brain machines:

• Rechargeable batteries – nothing worse than a blissful L&S session cut short due to dead batteries.

• Input jack – add music or hypnosis recordings to the sessions

• Programmability – custom design your own sessions.

• Two or more output jacks – share the experience

• Ramp up ramp down – a gentle beginning and end

• Download sessions via computer – add to your collection

• Color choice – red, green or yellow -what is your preference?

• Carry case or bag – safely store and transport

• Ongoing customer support – what happens when you have a question or problem?

My personal experience with brain machines started in the late eighties. I discovered the book Megabrain by Michael Hutchison. He described various technologies for accessing and enhancing brain states such as brain machines, float tanks, nutrition, and electro-stimulation.

I purchased a basic AVS unit from a direct mail advertisement and began to use it regularly. I experienced some sublime peak experiences using it along with meditation tapes.

The system I am using now is called Nova Pro by Photosonix. I have used it for approximately ten years. It is a real workhorse and creates beautiful experiences for me. The only trouble I have had is with the headphones. They had to be replaced after the phone cord got sucked into a vacuum cleaner. Totally my fault, but easy enough to go to any department store and pick up a new set of headphones.

So, where do you get a Light and Sound Machine? There are a number of manufacturers and even more distributors for them. I have discovered that there is a cost savings by going directly to the manufacture if you can. That is why I picked the Photosonix unit. I got a great price for it. I am still using it after all this time.

Ebay is a good source for a great bargain on an L&S machine. Some are sold brand new, others are used and at a remarkable savings.

Amazon is an excellent source. They carry the book Megabrain and Light and Sound Machines

I was shocked to learn that some college students take psychostimulant drugs like Ritalin and Adderall illegally so that they can do better in exams and get through college. No, they are not suffering from ADHD or hyperactivity – they just want to have an edge over honest students.
When we are looking at medication for hyperactive children we are more concerned with the alarming side effects of these drugs than anything else. Apart from deciding which ADHD medication, there are other ways of helping a hyperactive child.

Hyperactivity in children, if left untreated may well continue into adulthood- often with disastrous consequences – an adult with ADHD loses about 22 days work a year, car accidents are caused by extreme irritation exploding in impulsive acts and distraction causes great losses in productivity.

Helping A Hyperactive Child

As a parent of a hyperactive child, what can you do to help him or her. The first strategy is to make sure that the child gets enough exercise and the amount of media exposure time is strictly controlled. There is more than enough evidence to show that time on Internet, watching DVDs and cell phone use, may lead to obesity, diabetes and experimentation with early sex. So, kids just need exercise and various fitness programs have shown promising results. The ABC for Fitness program (Kansas ) had very encouraging results when they tried this program with a group of kids in 13 elementary schools in the Independence, MO school district. Those kids who actively participated were able to reduce their medication for ADHD – up to 33%! The other kids who were monitored and who did no sports showed a mere 7% reduction. So, lots of outdoor (preferably) activities such as biking, hiking and skating are going to help the hyperactive child. But any fitness program, such as the one mentioned above is bound to have beneficial effects.

Is There A Diet For ADHD ?

The second strategy is to make sure that the food the child eats is not rubbish! One paediatrician has described ADHD children as having, what he calls an NDD condition. Another acronym- this one stands for Nutritional Deficit Disorder ! Did you know that the famous Omega 3 ‘good’ fats are found in great quantity in mothers’ breast milk? These are definitely good for the brain so any foods which contain these are recommended – fish (or fish oil supplements), fruits, nuts, whole grains and green leafy vegetables. Yogurt is a better option than ice- cream or lollies. Smoothies made with healthy ingredients are a great standby. There are lots of recipe sites on the Internet if you are stuck for healthy food ideas for kids. The foods/ ingredients to avoid are fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated oils, MSG and any food or pop which has artificial colourings,additives and preservatives.

These two strategies will be key elements in your plan to help your hyperactive child. As regards ADHD medication with psychostimulants, you will be shocked if you visit the FDA site as it is full of warnings about the risks and dangers associated with these drugs. If you want to find out about a perfectly safe alternative ADHD therapy, visit the site below. It will answer a lot of your questions.

Almost 30 years ago, the USDA made an earnest attempt to classify ketchup as a fresh vegetable in school lunches. For obvious reasons, the proposal was widely ridiculed and shot down. In 2004, the department had another go, this time championing batter-coated french fries. So don’t feel guilty about super-sizing your fries anymore; just think of them as a salad—the USDA does.

The food industry has always influenced our eating habits, making it more difficult for parents to control what their children eat. But now the industry’s marketing strategies have become much more sophisticated and invasive, bombarding children with products and advertisements from every conceivable angle, even infiltrating our schools.

The food lobby is a profit-driven business like any other and would never voluntarily enforce non-mandatory health regulations—that’s why we need to demand more vigilance from school boards and the FDA in keeping profiteering corporations out of our kids’ schools. With fast fooderies sprouting up on every corner and a national obesity epidemic that—appallingly—is increasingly afflicting even toddlers, (According to National Academies’ Institute of Medicine, the rate of childhood obesity has doubled in 2-5 year olds over the past 30 years) it’s no surprise that parents are laying the blame with those who have the most to gain.

Certainly, many food companies neglect the social responsibility that comes with the territory, and sometimes it can seem like the media has replaced us as our kids’ role models, but the ability, and responsibility, to instill good eating habits ultimately lies with the parents— the ones actually selecting and buying the food. There is absolutely no excuse for having a junk-food stocked kitchen in which your sole function is that of an on-call chef. It’s especially essential to instill a healthy routine in children from a young age to teach them about and adjust them to good nutrition practices.

If a 2-5 year old is obese, only the parents are to blame for his/her poor dietary habits. But the good news is that it’s never too late to start eating healthy, and according to leading experts, the benefits of doing so extend beyond physical wellbeing to improve general attitude and mental health.

A common obstacle many mothers and fathers face before taking the first step toward healthy living is knowing where to start. With the intimidating litany of books and opposing ideas on health topics available today, it’s easy to think the laws of nutrition have no rhyme or reason. (After all, the medical communities’ position on children drinking coffee seems to change almost monthly, and just last November a study in Aberdeen revealed that slouching is actually good for your back!) To help sort out some of the confusion, we’ve compiled several general guidelines below to help make sense of it all and debunk a few common misconceptions.

THE CLAIM

Children should be allowed to eat until they are content.

THE FACTS

There is no consensus on this issue, but many experts agree that children should be allowed to choose their own portions. The Weight-Control Information Network additionally recommends starting with small portions and letting your child ask for more if s/he is still hungry.

There are two caveats: children should only eat their fill if the meal is healthy (limiting your child’s daily juice intake is an acceptable and recommended weight management method); secondly, coercing a child who’s not hungry to eat can facilitate bingeing and is discouraged. Even if your child seems overly-lean but grows at a normal rate, there’s no reason to worry. If you are concerned your child may not be eating enough, start a log of his/her growth progress to identify a potential development stunt in addition to consulting with a pediatrician.

Lastly, keep an eye out for various factors that can further mitigate eating habits: for instance, children have been shown to eat more in groups, making playtime the right time to have plenty of wholesome and portioned snacks available. A study released by researchers at the University of Buffalo last Friday showed that children also tend to eat more while watching TV. It’s easy to overeat when distracted, so we suggest limiting television time to one hour a night.

THE CLAIM

Athletic children need more nutrients, particularly protein, in their diet.

THE FACTS

Along with watching what you eat, exercising is one of the best gifts you can give yourself and building muscle is just one of its many advantages. While kids who are active use more energy and certainly require more calories to replace it, more protein does not, contrary to popular opinion, add up to more muscle. This misconception most likely stems from the deterioration associated with protein deficiency, an extremely rare condition among American children. Nutritionists recommend a mere 15% daily intake of protein for athletes, with 50% allotted for carbs—the body’s primary fuel.

Another common misconception is that kids who are active need more vitamins. In fact, taking too many supplements (such as iron) can lead to an overdose. Fluid requirements, on the other hand, are greatly elevated during any strenuous exercise, especially since thirst is not considered a reliable indicator of hydration. The Center for Disease Control recommends drinking water every 15-20 minutes before, during and after exercising, especially in the heat.

This brings us to debunk another myth: though water quenches thirst better than Gatorade, Sports Drinks are better suited for strenuous or prolonged exercise because they contains electrolytes which help maintain body fluid levels as well as the power-fuel glucose. This means that sports drinks not only slow dehydration but also provide energy. To sum up the key points, athletic children need extra food-energy but shouldn’t change the balance of calorie-type ratios in their diet. Even more important than a balanced diet for an athlete is constant attentiveness to his/her hydration schedule.

Tip: Eating or exercising directly before a vigorous activity will slow your performance.

THE CLAIM

Eating sugar provides a temporary energy boost.

THE FACTS

The energy rush we get from sugar strolls by leisurely more than it rushes; the body relies on stored energy—glucose stored in the muscles and liver—so not only is the sugar useless, but it can even increase the risk of gastrointestinal problems such as cramps and nausea according to Suzanne Nelson Sc.D. RD, University of Washington.

The most important thing to remember is that no matter how difficult junk-food companies make it to change your kids’ eating habits, your role as a parent holds more influence—we think you’ll be surprised by how painless the transition can be when you incorporate a little fun and variety in the menu! Keep in mind that meal times are a perfect opportunity to embed a positive outlook on eating healthy in your children, so try to keep it fun and avoid conflict. Also, feel free to indulge in your favorite foods occasionally (variety is a great way to build excitement and a positive attitude towards nutrition), just don’t compromise healthy eating right out of your routine!—always remember who decides the menu.

The use of condition-specific supplements more than doubled between 1999 and 2005. There are two possible reasons for this increase:

•Consumers could be switching from single-nutrient supplements to treat and prevent health issues to combination and condition-specific formulas
•Americans are more confident of their ability to take care of their own health

Consumers may be switching from single-nutrient supplements to condition-specific formulas because it is an easier and less costly route toward one-stop shopping for health.

Dietary supplements are a way for Americans to self manage and treat specific health issues.

The prevention of specific health issues and medical conditions has become the number one reason why 57% of consumers took a vitamin-mineral supplement for the first time over the past 5 years.

I personally had a rise in triglycerides for the first time. Instead of a prescription drug my doctor elected to try a dietary supplement, Niacin, in the hopes of reducing the triglyceride level. At my last exam, apparently this supplement worked for me. My triglyceride level was lowered after 6 months of taking the dietary supplement of Niacin. It has been more cost effective than a prescription drug.

Young people are specifically interested in improving physical performance as a motivator for starting vitamin and mineral supplements. The number one reason for adults aged 18 to 29 years to go on a vitamin-mineral regimen or make a dietary change is to enhance performance. Weight control is the second reason.

There continues to be steady growth of the belief in vitamin-mineral supplements as an effective means of treating and preventing health problems and conditions.

There is also a growing concern about vitamin-mineral supplements interacting with prescription medications. Some people are dissatisfied about the quantity of pills taken and other people have difficulty swallowing pills.

Condition-Specific Supplements

Condition-specific supplements are the fastest growing sector of the supplement business. The use of vitamins E and C have dropped since the year 2000. Multivitamin sales continue to grow at a modest rate. Consumers still take vitamin-mineral supplements because they believe their diets lack vitamins and minerals. Calcium and Vitamin C are the most frequently taken vitamin supplements.

For those people who used a condition-specific supplement in 2005, joint pain was the most frequently mentioned condition, after that was for heart health, osteoporosis and arthritis. Also on the rise are vitamin and mineral supplements for osteoporosis and memory concentration.

In 2005, nearly half (44%) of all US supplements sold were for a specific health condition, such as arthritis, joint pain, heart health, osteoporosis, weight loss.

There were 14 conditions that account for 84% of the condition-specific supplement sales in 2005. The top two conditions consumers took condition-specific supplements for was sports/energy/weight/loss and general health. Other conditions include:

•Sports/energy/weight loss
•General health
•Joint health
•Cold/flu-immune
•Anticancer
•Heart health
•Bone health
•Gastrointestinal health
•Diabetes
•Menopause
•Brain mental
•Mood
•Sexual health
•Insomnia

The trend toward taking supplements for condition-specific reasons is expected to continue to grow. Baby Boomers now aged 42 to 60 years and the 72 million Generation Y members who will be the audiences for supplement marketers. Those who are not currently using a supplement say they are most likely to do so to prevent/treat arthritis.

As baby boomers begin to experience age-associated conditions for the first time, they are most likely to opt for supplements directed at particular conditions such as arthritis, cholesterol, wrinkles, eye health, and hypertension.

When it comes to making choices for the overall health of our bodies, food plays one of the most predominant roles. While poor nutrition can lead to obesity, high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, and a host of illness and disease, good nutrition can be the most important tool to achieving optimum health and ideal weight.

Good nutrition comes in the form of a healthy diet; a diet focused around whole, natural foods such as fresh fruits, green leafy vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, and low-fat dairy. A healthy diet should resemble a colorful palette – deep, vibrant colors that reflect the concentration of vitamins and minerals essential to good health.

Protein, a part of good nutrition, can be found in foods such as lean meats, whole nuts, and soy products. Healthy carbohydrates are found in whole grain breads, sweet potatoes, brown rice, and wheat pasta. Low-fat dairy provides adequate reserves of calcium. And Vitamin C is found in citrus fruits. Many people choose to eat only organic foods as a way to minimize additives and ensure that the foods they eat contain the highest nutritional value possible.

Additionally, experts agree that good nutrition includes adequate hydration. The drinking of at least eight glasses of water a day flushes the body of toxins, speeds metabolism, aids digestion, and acts as a natural appetite suppressant.

In combination with this diet regime, it is essential to minimize – and even avoid altogether – foods that are fried, processed, and high in salt, sugar, and saturated fats.

In the search for optimum nutrition it is important to first analyze the diet you currently follow. Look for ways to gradually add more natural foods to your diet and minimize those foods that lack fundamental nutrients and are highly caloric. If you find it difficult to make these adjustments, it may be beneficial to work with a nutritionist who can tailor a diet to your particular lifestyle.

Ultimately, nutrition that positively affects health, vitality, and longevity, means a commitment to a varied diet of vitamin and mineral packed food.

It is in the public interest that the manner in which the testosterone based supplements function or work be explained. This is as a result of the influx in demand and popularity of the testosterone supplements in bodybuilding. As many persons take to the bodybuilding activity, many do not know the probable effects that may be sustained after using these types of anabolic steroids. Many have been left with numerous side complications that are associated with excessive or continued use of these steroids. Testosterone is a natural steroid that is produced in the male body.

The natural body levels are not quite as sufficient for the requirements of serious bodybuilders. This prompts the oral intake of artificial testosterone to increase the body’s capacity to synthesize more proteins as well as to assist in quick muscular growth. Testosterone has therefore been used by the bodybuilding fraternity as a means to achieve high muscle growth and an avenue through which to increase the individual training ability. The side effects of continued steroid use are usually swept under the carpet of ignorance and many people have fallen for the flattering comments that are used in selling these substances.

As mentioned earlier, testosterone is naturally produced by the body. The artificial testosterone supplements are available in the form of pills, tablets, powders and gels. These applications tend to be unavailable and unsuitable for users below the ages of 25. Persons below this age are at the prime of the body’s secretion of testosterone. They are supposed to take full advantage of this and make as many gains in terms of muscle growth and development before this stage expires. After the age of 25 the body’s natural production of testosterone starts to diminish and it is at this juncture that many athletes begin using the artificial testosterone products.

When the body is still capable of producing sufficient testosterone it is really unnecessary to take in the synthesized form of the hormone. For young persons who cannot resist the urge to do so, a word of caution is in the air. Excess testosterone will mess up with your natural hormone balances which are set to bring about various health complications. The other factor is that excess testosterone will bring about various psychological imbalances that will make the user more readily vulnerable to possible mental and physical complications.

What therefore is the use of using substances that have the potential of causing you much harm? Well, the only piece of advice that can be offered in this instance is to ensure moderation and proper use. The bodybuilder should realize that the steroids are not an end in themselves but a means to attaining that desired level of muscle and physical growth. Steroids should only be used by those persons who are really intent on working out. It does not mean that the side effects of testosterone and by extension any other steroid will disappear. The user needs to be aware that with steroid use you expose yourself to many eventualities including health and physiological complications.
