Have A Fitness Shake!

When you workout, you burn calories and body loses nutrients that need to be replaced in order for you to recover from the exercise and repair your body. There are many specifics about nutrition that can affect recovery, but the major components of nutrition are (macronutrients) Protein, Carbohydrates and Fats, yes I said fats!

Drinking a shake before, during or after your workout allows you to replenish the macronutrients that your body is looking for at those times. Replenishing your body with proper nutrition will allow your body to repair and transform.

The human body absorbs and utilizes the nutrition from a liquid (shake) much faster than from a solid food (it is digested faster) because it doesn't have to be broken down in your stomach. Therefore, a shake is an ideal vehicle for replacing those macronutrients. So experiment with some flavors and find what shake works best for your tastebuds!

Nutrition shakes can also help a person lose weight by acting as a meal replacement. Instead of eating a meal high in calories, you can drink a calorie controlled shake filled with plenty of vitamins and minerals.

Start your day off right with a nutritional shake that will replenish your body. See the ingredients below for a quick and simple way to power up for whatever’s in store for the day. These shakes are perfect on-the-go.

Eat This Food!

Americans love fast food. We love the convenience of being able to order breakfast, lunch or dinner from the comfort of our cars.1 out of 4 Americans eats fast food every day. Fast food focuses on high volume, low cost, and high speed product. Normally the food is preheated or precooked and served to go. The downside of “convenient food” is the health risk.

A study published in the Canadian Journal of Cardiology, indicates that damage to the arteries occurs almost immediately after just one junk food-type meal. Also The World Health Organization has linked fast food to the sharp rise in obesity and chronic disease. With that being said, many fast food restaurants are trying to counteract “bad fast food” by offering healthier choices and smaller portions.

Eat This	Toss This
Burger King Whopper Jr w/o mayo and a Garden Salad 470 calories	Burger King BK Big Fish Sandwich and Medium Fries 1000 calories
Chick-fil-A Chick-fil- A Grilled Chicken Sandwich 320 calories	Chick-fil-A Cobb Salad w/ Ranch Dressing 430 calories
Chipotle Chicken Burrito Bowl w/ Lettuce, Black Beans, Green Tomatillo Salsa, and Sour Cream 489 calories	Chipotle Chicken Burrito w/ Black Beans, Rice, Green Tomatillo Salsa, and Sour Cream 1092 calories
Dunkin Donuts Ham Egg & Cheese English Muffin Sandwich 440 calories	Dunkin Donuts Multigrain Bagel w/ Cream Cheese 540 calories
McDonald’s Quarter Pounder w/o cheese 410 calories	McDonald’s Premium Grilled Chicken Bacon Club Sandwich 610 calories

Everything we eat has a direct impact on our bodies. We as people love the convenience of fast food, but we hate the end result of fast food. Eat consciously; all fast foods should be eaten in moderation. Eat, Drink and be Merry!

Syntha-6 Is Good for Weight Loss

Syntha-6 is a protein supplement often used by athletes or individuals looking for a boost in their daily protein intake. Diets with a moderately high protein intake, along with modestly restricted carbohydrates and fats, can have beneficial effects on weight and body composition, notes a 2008 review published in "Current Opinion in Endocrinology, Diabetes and Obesity." Because Syntha-6 is a low-calorie food, it can be used in place of a normal meal to lower total calorie intake, increase protein intake and help promote weight loss.

Syntha-6 contains a blend of several types of protein, including whey, casein, milk and egg. Whey is a fast-acting protein, whereas casein is a slower-burning form of protein. Milk protein contains both whey and casein. Eggs are another high quality source of protein, with a very complete amino acid profile. In all, the proteins in Syntha-6 are high quality animal-source proteins, which means they can be easily digested and utilized by the body. Syntha-6 contains a total of 22 grams of protein per 47-gram serving. With 200 calories and 6 grams of fat per serving, Syntha-6, combined with water, can serve as a low- calorie meal.

Whey protein, the primary form of protein in Syntha-6, has been studied for its role in reducing body weight. A study published in 2008 in "Nutrition & Metabolism" administered a whey protein supplement to participants on a 500-calorie reduced diet. Compared to a control group, which was also on a 500-calorie reduced diet, the group consuming the whey protein supplement lost significantly more body fat. The difference in total weight lost, however, was not significant, because of the preservation of lean body mass by the whey protein supplement.

Casein protein has also been researched for its potential to aid in weight loss. A study published in 2007 in "Metabolism" found that both soy and casein protein shakes contributed to significant weight loss in obese women, when used as part of a reduced-calorie diet.

If you're interested in using Syntha-6 for weight-loss purposes, consume it as a meal replacement, rather than an addition to your diet. According to a study published in 2004 in the "Journal of Nutrition," meal replacements are not only as effective as conventional weight-loss strategies, but they offer more convenience and a higher adherence rate. Another study published in 2009 in the "International Journal of Clinical Practice" found that high-protein meal replacements, such as Syntha-6, were more effective in reducing abdominal fat when compared to conventional meal replacements.

Syntha-6 is not fortified with vitamins or minerals. When you plan to consume it to replace more than one meal per day, take it along with a multivitamin supplement. Alternatively, blend Syntha-6 protein powder with fruits and vegetables to create a vitamin- and mineral-rich protein shake.

6 Best Foods to Eat When Your Drinking Alcohol

Hey team, its holiday time and plenty of us will be visiting our families, eating dinners, watching sports, and having an occasional drink while enjoying festivities. There is a health conscious approach to consuming alcohol. An approach that considers the body (our temple) as a whole and how its various organs will respond biologically to the consumption of alcohol. Below are 6 of the best foods to eat when you are drinking! Remember any thing in access isn't good for you. And this advise is considering that we are also working out regularly to burn off some calories. Enjoy!

As long as you’re not downing cream-laden varieties, soup is a great option. Chicken noodle replenishes sodium levels and also contains cysteine, an amino acid that helps your liver break down a headache-causing toxin found in alcohol.

These guys are loaded with potassium, an electrolyte that gets wiped out when you drink alcohol. Maybe even eat the peel too.

Whole grains are made up of complex carbs that absorb alcohol. They also contain B vitamins, which help prevent a dear-lord-why hangover.

Not quite as virtuous as whole wheat, but pancakes, waffles and other carby, delicious, often off-limits foods are actually kind of solid for a post-bar meal, again, because carbs soak up the alcohol in your system. Bonus points if you can avoid drowning them in butter and sugar.

High in vitamins B-6 and C, iron and folate, hummus is a super-healthy way to satisfy your cravings for something oily without the added fat of, say, fries. Pair it with whole-wheat pita chips or veggie sticks for a snack that’s satisfying and good for you.

While pizza isn’t exactly advisable, chances are you have or will be at a greasy pizza place post drinks at some point in your life. Don’t resist it; just be smart. Order a slice loaded with vegetables, and blot as much oil off the top as you can.

ONLIVE OIL MAY HELP PREVENT BREAST CANCER

Women who eat a Mediterranean diet with a little extra virgin olive oil have a lower risk of breast cancer, researchers reported in yet another study showing the health benefits of the approach.

Women who participated in the study who added extra-virgin olive oil to their diet had a 62 percent lower risk of breast cancer over the next five years or so, according to researchers at the University of Navarra in Pamplona.

The study was done in Spain, where people presumably eat the Mediterranean diet. The diet is characterized by lots of salad, fruit, vegetables, nuts, a little fish, a little lean meat, a small amount of cheese — and olive oil, of course. Wine is also served at meals.

The volunteers in the trial, however, were given extra counseling, and a weekly supply of either extra-virgin olive oil or mixed nuts.

The 4,282 women in the trial were, on average, about 68 and obese, with an average body massindex of 30.4 — just over the line for clinical obesity.

“After a median follow-up of 4.8 years, we identified 35 confirmed incident cases of breast cancer," Miguel Martínez-González and colleagues wrote in the Journal of the American Medical Association's JAMA Internal Medicine.

The study is considered unusually strong because people are randomly assigned to different diets. It accounts for the possibility that people who choose to follow a certain healthy diet pattern may do other things differently, too.

The study's already shown some startling effects — the healthful diet with extra nuts and olive oil has been shown to help people live longer and avoid heart disease cutting the risk of heart attacks and strokes by 30 percent, and it may also help preserve their brains.

Now breast cancer is added to the list - but only among those who got the extra olive oil. The women who got the nut mixture also had a slightly lower risk of breast cancer, but the results were not strong enough to be considered significant.

"TheMediterranean dietary pattern has attracted considerable attention because, historically, breast cancer rates have been lower in Mediterranean countries than in Northern or Central European countries or the United States," the researchers wrote.

It took a lot of olive oil to get the protection - it had to make up 15 percent or more of calories.

What's in extra-virgin olive oil that's so special? Extra-virgin means the olive oil is squeezed mechanically, without the use of heat or chemicals that can alter its chemical properties. It usually has a stronger flavor than processed olive oil.

"Several biological mechanisms could explain the putative anticarcinogenic properties of extra virgin olive oil," the researchers wrote.

"All types of olive oil provide a high supply of monounsaturated fatty acids, mainly oleic acid, as well as squalene, whereas extra virgin olive oil also contains various biologically active compounds, such as the polyphenols oleocanthal, oleuropein, hydroxytyrosol, and lignans," they added.

Oleic acid may act directly on cancer-causing genetic mutations, studies have shown. Squalene may help reverse damage caused by oxidation, which is a damaging chemical reaction linked to both cancer and heart disease.

Polar Loop Fitness Watch Review

SHOP POLAR NOW!

Wrist-based heart rate measurement

PROS / The To-Go feature tells you how long you need to walk or jog to reach your goal. This is a great way to get practical guidance and gives you exact times and activities.

CONS / Fresh out of the box, the Polar Loop bracelet is huge, so you have to measure and cut it down to your own size. Thankfully, Polar will replace the wristband if you cut off too much.

VERDICT / The Polar Loop is great if you're already active and want a little extra info about your activity. It's also waterproof for swimming and surfing.

Click here to check out the Polar Loop.

Polar specializes in heart rate monitors, so health and fitness is already the company's cup of tea. The Polar Loop is Polar's first attempt at a bracelet pedometer. The sturdy, rubberized wristband features an LED screen bright enough to check in direct sunlight. The tri-axis accelerometer counts your steps, distance and calories. This activity tracker monitors all types of exercises, and it is waterproof, so you can bring it swimming or surfing, too. Polar also makes a heart rate monitor that is designed to work in conjunction with the Loop, but it is something you’ll have to purchase separately. Get the results you want with Polar! Free shipping on orders $100+.Shop now!

FREE SHIPPING on Orders $100+ !!

24/7 Activity Tracking

Tracks your daily activity at five intensity levels for 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and provides a complete picture of all of your activity. It counts your active time, daily burnt calories, steps, distance from steps and sleep.
It’s based on the analyses of the frequency, intensity and regularity of your movements together with your physical information.

Everyone's body is different, so when you set up the Polar Loop, the Smart Calories feature uses your weight, height, age, gender and physical intensity to calculate your burned calorie count. The memory on this digital pedometer lasts 12 days without syncing. The mobile app provides in-depth information on your long-term activity with different types of graphs. Syncing this pedometer to the mobile app works best for iOS 6 devices. This is good news if you have an iPhone 4S, 5, 5C, 5s or iPod Touch, but it is bad news if you're an Android user. However, there is also a web-based platform – Polar Flow – you can use to check your status and activity data if you don’t have a compatible mobile device. The Polar Loop uses a USB cord and Bluetooth Smart to sync information to the mobile app or web platform.

The app categorizes your activity with five intensity levels: resting, sitting, low, medium and high. The higher the intensity, the sooner you meet your goal. The bracelet displays different commands to get you moving at different intensities. Up means you should stop sitting and do low intensity activity. Walk means medium intensity and Jog means high intensity. We love the To Go feature because it gives you practical guidance on what you need to do. Notifications tell you to walk or jog for an allotted amount of time help you reach your daily goal.

Smart Calories

The Polar Loop does have some disadvantages. It does not have an altimeter, so doesn't measure how many flights of stairs you climb daily. Also, be aware that the display on the Loop doesn't count steps immediately, but it has a 30-60 second delay before displaying new steps. To fit the wristband to your size, you need to cut it based on the provided measuring strip. To fit the wristband to your size, measure your wrist and cut the band. We're not a big fan of this because there's such a large margin for error, but the good news is Polar will replace the band if you cut too much.

The Bluetooth tech does take up a considerable amount of battery power. The Polar Loop's battery life typically lasts about five days. The USB port on the inside of the bracelet connects to your computer for charging.

Summary

The Polar Loop isn't perfect, but we like the style and bright LED display. The To Go feature is a great way to get practical guidance from the pedometer on reaching your activity goals. The app is easy to use and makes activity fun and motivating. We would like to see an altimeter to count stairs, but love the step-counting accuracy of the Polar Loop. Learn to love the burn! The new Polar helps you workout at the right intensity and get results. Free shipping on orders $100+.Shop now!
