Weight Gain Tips : Weight Lifting Exercise

For those who keep on visiting my blogs, i am sure you noticed that i ever post an entry about how skinny people can gain their weight by eating more right? And today, i want to write another weight gain tips for those who need it. But for today's tips, i will stress on about the exercise in regard with weight gain process stage and what it can do in order to help the gain weight process. 

Well, exercise is another component in gaining process. As you want to add pounds to yourself and avoid it from becoming flab instead, you need to exercise and focus on strength training. I suggests that you do weight lifting exercise and implement it for at least around 3 - 4 sessions a week. This is because when you lift weight, you actually force your muscles to expand. From there, your muscles will grown big and therefore requires you to eat more in order to fill in the expanded muscles part. But do remember to go hard for hard after each exercise and lift as much as you can handle but also aware for not to overdo it. Just gradually increase it over time and repeat the exercise for around 7 - 8 times per sessions depend on your capabilities. 

As what one quote always state that, "No pain, no gain". So, this means you need to feel the pain then you will gain the benefits from the pain itself. Same goes to this exercise as well. 

After you done with the exercise, give yourself one or two days to rest as your muscles need to recover itself. As you lift weight, your muscle tissue will tear and then will build more efficiently when you give it some time to recover. During this period, the process of healing of those muscle tissue will take place means your muscles will become stronger the next time you lift. 

When your muscles become stronger and stronger, do not forget to increase the weight for you to lift. But however, do not rush the process by increasing the weight more than you could handle as this will lead to great injuries to your muscles. Do it gradually and play safe, that is the better way since even though just by small increment in weight over from time to time will increases your strength and you will notice a big difference in just a few weeks. But of course, with rigid passion and perseverance too. 

Simply put, as you gaining weight by eating more or plenty of foods with high calories capacity, and at the same time you do weight lifting exercise and those calories you ate been burnt during the workout process. The you will have to fill the expanded muscles part by eating more foods again and this repetitive process will make your body grow healthily and fit. From here you already get the big picture of the art of this gaining weight stages. 

Instead of weight lifting exercise, you can also do a push-up exercise. This also another way for you to stay fit during weight gaining process. It is the best and the most enjoyable one i ever try for myself and still doing it until today. Try it out yourself and you can feel the difference too!

There are several organs in our body that involved in detoxification process which are the liver and kidneys. Detoxification of toxin in human's body will happen when someone is fasting. Toxin is actually can caused by those additives derived from processed foods which you consumed daily and most of these toxins are store in fats. So, fat is burnt during fasting especially when the fasting duration is prolonged. 

Rests digestive system

Human body needs energy during fasting. So, fasting can increase the breakdown of glucose so that the body can get enough energy. Fasting reduces the production of insulin and at the same time rests the pancreas as well. As glucagon is produced during this period in order to facilitate the breakdown of glucose, it will results to the reduction of blood sugar.  

Increases fast breakdown 

As been mentioned earlier, the first response of the body due to fasting is the breakdown of glucose. So, when the storage of glucose is exhausted, ketosis will begins and this indicates that fats stored in the kidney and other muscles are been broken down in order to release energy. 

Corrects high blood pressure 

This process is the continuance of the previous stage indeed. During fasting, glucose and fat store are been used to produce energy. In addition, metabolic rate is also decreased and the fear-flight hormones such as adrenaline and noradrenaline are also reduced at the same time. This will keep the metabolic rate steady, within limit and the benefit of this is reduction in blood pressure. 

Promotes weight loss 

Even though fasting is not a very good weight loss strategy but it can promotes rapid weight loss as it reduces the store of fats in the body. It is just another suggestion for you if in case you would like to give it out a try. But however, in order to successfully achieve weight reduction, you must reduce fat and sugar intake, increasing fruits intake instead and gives yourself an enough rest.

Fasting is also believed able to reduces craving for processed foods. In fact, it will increases thedesire for natural foods especially water and fruits. By consuming those, you definitely can obtain a healthy lifestyle too. 

Boost immunity 

It is stated by experts that when individuals is on balance diet and between fast, this can boost immunity. The elimination of toxins and also the reduction of fats also helps the body. So, when someone break a fast by consuming fruits, he or she increases the body's store of essential vitamins and minerals. Fruits that contains vitamin A and vitamin E are good antioxidants and also help in boosting up the body's immunity.

This is what you actually can do to reduce your stress. Some of us might feel stressful for being stuck with daily work routine that we all know which might never end. Workplace is indeed stressful place ever. With daily paperwork, demand bosses and the hectic environment due to many assignments deadlines can give you the unbearable stress level. So, why don't you take leave and spend your time to go for a holiday or vacation with your family or best friends. And just leave your thought about paperwork and workplace behind, because thinking about it might stress you even more. So, you may plan or go for a holiday and release your stress by enjoying sunset at the beach or mountains view are also considerable depends on your mood. 

Exercise 

This is the part that i love the most. Exercise here does not mean that you need to do powerlifting or need to go to the gym for having a benchpress but the need for you to stretch your muscles out. Well, i can mention here that even just sitting in the office can be even stressful for myself so why don't you do simple exercise to stretch your muscles and free your mind from those paperwork you have. Simple exercise like push-up is the best one or else, you also can just walk around your office area and not just stay at your room or cubicle as you need space, adequate spacious space for you to settle down your mind. 

Listen to Music 

You also can reduce your stress by listening to your favourite music and this way has been practised by many people out there in order for them to deal with their stress. Doesn't matter whether the songs you prefer is rock, pop, hip-hop or ballad, as long it is your favourite one and you love to listen to them as you can leave all your problem behind and be stress-free, it is best for you to practise indeed. 

Get Enough Rest and Sleep 

This part is actually a circular part and it is best and better for you to fully understand the facts. Most people cannot be denied that they cannot sleep well due to stress, but don't forget that if you did not get enough rest or sleep, it will also lead to stress. So, it is kind of circular issue that essentials to be understood by everyone. So, what i can suggests you is, you must rest accordingly and put gap between your work and rest. And for sleep, you should sleep healthily. "Healthily" here means that you must sleep for 7 - 8 hours a day like what been recommended by doctors. And if you get too much sleep, you will become more lazy and even more stressful for not being active and less energetic throughout your day.

Do Not Take Things Too Seriously
Well, getting what you really want in life can be really stressful indeed. But, we also cannot simply not focus and not being serious in putting efforts to your heart desire as well. It is kind of circular issue here. So, i suggests you to moderately think about your desire, and not to put too much hope in it and just move forward without thinking so much about one particular thing or more. And just believe in one thing, being hardworking with good efforts will definitely brings you success in future. So, do not fret for being a looser or left behind because comparing yourself with other people can make you feel stress even more. Just feel neutral about it and turn your head-on for yourself.

Breathe Easy 

The most simple one i guess. Well, when your mind agitated, and you do not have the idea of what you should do and where you must go in order for you to escape from the tense environment, just sit and calm yourself down first. Get your body and mind feels relax, focus on your lungs and inhale deeply to make it fully expand in your chest with oxygen and hold it for 5 seconds and then exhale all of it it at once. Repeat it until you feel very relax and cool your minds down from your stress. Maybe the advise of "take a deep breath" sound lame and even more cliche to some of you, but it holds true when it comes to overcome stress.

Call Good Friends
When you feeling stress, please don't keep it to yourself. Everyone need someone to talk to when they have problem regardless how big the problem is because the more you keep it to yourself, the greater pressure you will get. So, why don't you call your best friends and share what you experience, what makes you feel tense and seek for their advise if possible. Even if they cannot really help you in certain issue like finance problems for instance, but at least even by sharing it with best friends will ease your minds and lessen the big burden on your shoulders. And trust me, everyone need supports from someone they trust and same goes to you as well.

Playing with Pets
Apart from calling your friends, if you think the methods not really applies to you, you can play with your pets instead. Not everyone has pet, so for those who have it, you can take this method as for you to release your pressure. And yes, for some people, playing with their beloved pets can relief them from their pressure indeed. But however, for those who don't, you can apply the methods i mentioned earlier instead.

Watch A Comedy
Watching comedy is another way for you to release your stress. This method is believed to be very effective to those who has intense level of pressure indeed. As mentioned by experts, many working adults getting stress from family and even workplace are rarely watch movies due to their hectic life. So, the rare things to do can be the most effective methods to release pressure as well. But of course, it must be a movies that have many hilarious scene instead of horror. So why don't you spend time, switch-on your television and watch any comedies with your family members or friends. Only you can feel the difference when watching comedies with them instead of sitting in front of your television alone.

Try Aromatherapy Massage 

Maybe some of you ever heard of the aromatherapy before right? For for those who don't, let me explain briefly about what aromatherapy is about. Well, aromatherapy is actually a treatment for pressure by the uses of certain scents and then inhale them accordingly to release pressure. As massage also another way to release pressure, it actually can deploy the feel-good hormones in human's brain as well. And of course, by getting your tension worked out of your muscles will help to work out the tension out from your mind as well. And by combining these 2 factors, it is definitely good and beneficial for those who practise it. 

Well, i think these methods are very useful for those who want to relieve their pressure. There are many other ways that also suitable and good for you to practise them, but what i had mentioned above is quite popular ones and best for you to consider.

Muay Thai : The Art of Eight Limbs

Muay Thai or also known as "The Art of Eight Limbs" is a combat sport originate from Thailand and yet tremendously been spread worldwide due to its fame of skills and attacking techniques. For sure, you might feel unsure but quite attracted to know of what it mean by "The Art of Eight Limbs" right? So, let me tell you a bit about what i personally know and i guess it suffice for you to gain knowledge about Muay Thai. 

Basically, Muay Thai uses stand-up striking together with various clinching techniques that requires rigid physical and mental discipline which includes combat on foot. But however, foot alone will not make the perfect striking techniques unless been used simultaneously with the combination of the elbows, fists, knees, feet and also shins to create the great impact when striking the opponents. These combinations along with good physical preparations make the full-contact fight become very efficient indeed. 

Apart from striking, there are also techniques for self-defense too. These self-defense techniques are meant to against potential harmful attacks. Defense techniques in Muay Thai are classified into six methods which are blocking, redirection, avoidance, evasion, disruption and anticipation. Lets go further into these six methods one by one shall we? 

Blocking 

This defense technique refers o the defender's hand blocks to stop a strike in its path and preventing it from reaching its target part which can cause harmful effect.

Redirection 

This method explains about the defender's soft parries to change the direction of the strike by the opponents so that it misses the pointed target from being hit. 

Avoidance 

This method explains about how we can make an avoidance to the opponent's attack and protect ourselves from injuries. Avoidance can be made by moving you body part out of the range of a strike so you remains in range for counter-strike. For instance, you moves your legs backwards to avoid the opponent's low kick, then immediately counters with a roundhorse kick. Or else, you may lay your head back from the opponent's high roundhorse kick then you can counter-attack with a side kick. 

Evasion 

Evasion can be made by moving your body out of the range of a strike so you has to move close again to counter-attack. For instance, you may jump laterally or back from the opponent's kicks. 

Disruption 

This method also known as pre-empting an attack. For instance, you may use disruptive techniques like jab, foot-thrust or low roundhorse kick, generally called as "leg-kick" to the outside or inside of the opponent's front leg, just above the knee as the opponent's attempt to close distance. 

Anticipation 

And last but not least, this methods explains you catching a strike. For instance, you catch a roundhorse kick to the body or else you can counter it before it lands. 

Well, so far this would be all information about Muay Thai that i able to gain myself from various resources.If you have the same interest like mine and might have more knowledge about this particular combat sport, we are on the same boat mate. Hence, you are very much welcome to add other important and appropriate information too! Cheers!

Hair Loss Problem : Causes and Solutions

Good day readers! And gain we meet for another post of my blog. For today, i will write about the possible causes of hair loss problem and then propose solutions to overcome the problem. And to be honest, i also suffer from hair loss since early 2010 but i was not aware of the problem back then. Assumed that was just a normal hair fall, i kept on ignoring it until i reached the stage where the frontal part of my head is getting lesser number of hair and the scalp became obviously seen. This has make me looks very different in appearance and looks far older compared to my actual age and further drag to lost of self-confidence in myself. 

In fact, to covers the bald part of my head, i have to keep on wearing cap everytime i am going outdoor. I hate it actually since i do not really like to wears cap and been never use it before this "disaster" befall me. I had no other options but to keep on wearing it to avoid surrounding peers staring at my head with that very little hair left which is so embarrassing indeed. 

And now, let me explains the possible causes of the hair loss problem after made some research about it. As from what i had discovered, as been quite obvious to myself as well, there are many causes which directed to this hair loss problem. The first would be the most common one which is a genetic factor. The genetic factor also called as "Alopecia"; which is the most common baldness among men. The second one would be food you consume daily and the third one would be you lifestyle. 

These causes can be break down into several other factors which correlated with the hair loss problem. So, let me explains on how we can overcome the problem from becoming worst. There are several methods you may consider to practise for yourself. 

The first one is you can take additional supplement in your daily intake like multivitamins. The hair loss problem may caused by lack of nutrients in your body. So, by obtaining additional supplement, you can restoring back the lost nutrients in your body. 

The second one is you should drink plenty of plain water daily for at least 14 - 15 cups per day. this is because to prevent dehydration to your body. Dehydration is actually hazardous to your hair since it will dries out your hair root then makes your hair fall and results to hair loss problem. 

The third one is your rest factor. This "rest" is actually refers to your sleep time. As been explained by experts, one must sleep for at least 8 hours daily. This because when you sleep, your body try to regenerates itself and gain its ability to heal your mental and physical. From getting enough sleep, you can avoid the hair loss problem as well. 

The fourth one is you should stop taking caffeine in your daily intake. To be honest, this is the most difficult one to myself too but in order to get back my hair, i must stop take caffeine based drink like coffee. Well, i love coffee so much and i drank it almost 4 - 5 cups daily previously. But since i has this hair loss issue, i take an initiative to stop taking it at once. Caffeine also can dries out the hair root the result to hair loss. 

Well, despite of those steps you may take like what been mentioned above, there are also types of foods that you may consider to take in your daily consumption. For instance, you can consume high protein foods like meet, fish, egg, avocado and nuts. Plus, you also can take foods that rich in folic acid like soy bean, green veges and carrot.

I guess that would be all of the information i can generate for the time being regarding the hair loss problem and what cause the problem then propose several solutions for you to consider. If you have any additional information regarding this topic, you are very welcome to add on and maybe i will write an updates in another post later. Cheers!

The Art of Push-Up Exercise

Maybe most of the people out there ever heard about the push-up exercise but based on my own observations, there are only some of them know about the benefits of this simple exercise. And yes, i also practise this particular exercise myself since couple of years ago and i am quite happy with the result so far. Better yet, no costs involved since the exercise can be done anywhere as you wish i.e. house, office and also recreational park. 

First and foremost, let's starts with the introduction part first. The push-up exercise is actually a common body movements exercise performed by one person in a prone position by raising and lowering the body using arms. But however, there are certain rules that need to be followed and remembered by those who practise it. Mind the position as you need to place your hands in a wide position since it will increases the push-up's use of chest muscles opposed to arm muscles. 

Push-up targets or worked out the muscles around the chest, arms and shoulders. Hence, the supports required from other muscles results in a wider range of muscles integrated into one simple exercise itself. So meaning that t is quite worthy and again, it is totally free and easy to be done anywhere as you wish. 

For those who wish to try this exercise, i suggests you to start gradually. During your first time, you may experience a minor pain around your arms as your muscle starts to stretch itself in order to pull your weight all over both of your hands. But do not fret, the pain will decreases over a short period of time.

So, i advise you to starts with low capacity first. For instance, 15 - 20 push-ups per set each session; 3 - 4 sessions per week with a day or two days gap for each session. And the following week, try to increase the capacity to 30 - 40 push-ups per set and further increase it over time and keep doing it over and all over again. 

The reason why i ask you to put a gap between the session is actually to give your muscles time to rest in order for it to gain itself up. You can try to do the exercise once every 2 days. So from there you can see the shape gradually formed around the affected areas. Or maybe you can take photos to monitor and compare the changes of your body shape over the time since you started the exercise. And trust me, you will never regret to practise this simple exercise because apart from getting best desired body shape, you will gain a good health too!
