There is a commonly held belief that muscle burns fat. That the more muscle you gain, the more fat you naturally burn as your metabolism gets ramped up. Is this true? As a result of this belief, many people advocate an intense weightlifting regimen for some 3 – 4 weeks before you begin your diet, banking on the idea that the lean muscle mass you will gain will help tremendously with the results of your diet. Is this true? Does muscle burn a significant amount of calories? Should you work out before dieting, and if not, what should you do instead?
Go back two hundred thousand years ago. Imagine our ancient ancestors, the first Homo sapiens, exploring the African countryside where they originated, hunting for food. They probably ate a diet composed of meat, nuts, fruit, and assorted vegetables. Simple, clean, nutritious. The only sugar they ever ingested was that found in ripe fruit, or the occasional bee hive that they managed to plunder. Sugar was a rare treat, and over the next 199,000 years, we as a species were genetically programmed to like eating it, since food containing sugar was nutritionally dense and high energy. Our body learned to release certain chemicals at the sight of sugary food, giving our body pleasurable feelings so that we associated sugar with feeling good.

Oranges are one of the world's most popular citrus fruits. Originally from Southeast Asia, they are now grown in almost every area with an appropriate warm climate. While many people prefer to enjoy just the juice of this fruit, the whole orange possesses more impressive
nutrition stats when consumed whole.
While oranges vary in size, it is possible to take some average nutritional values by looking at the content of 100 grams of the fruit. In this portion, there are roughly 50 calories and no fat at all. Additionally, some 87% of the orange is made up of water. This makes the orange a very diet-friendly fruit. Additionally, 100 grams of oranges are 12 percent carbohydrates, mostly from natural fruit sugars. However, some of these carbohydrates also come from fiber, and an average organe has 5 grams of this important nutrient. Since fiber is only found in the pulp, though, orange juice only has carbohydrates from sugar. Lastly, oranges have more protein than some other fruits, with almost 2 grams per orange.

I recently got a phone call that was rather shocking. A friend of mine had just died of a heart attack. “So what?” you might ask, “People die every day from heart attacks.” Well, that’s true but most of them aren’t my friend’s age. He was only 45.
A definition of cardiovascular disease doesn’t include an age. In fact, early signs of cardiovascular disease have been noted during surgeries performed on young soldiers wounded in battle. It has been estimated that plaque build-up was seen in the arteries of nearly 90% of the troops wounded in Vietnam. That’s pretty amazing when one considers that these soldiers were in their teens and early twenties. So, we need to take a good look at exactly what cardiovascular disease is, what causes it, and how we can prevent it.
Home workouts can be just as effective as going to the community gym. In considering a home gym,you want to have as a complete a workout session as you would in the community gym. What equipment does this take? You will need something for cardiovascular exercise. And, you will need equipment for weight and strength training.
You can purchase any equipment you need for your home gym, used. Check out the want ads in local papers. Check the Craiglist on your computer. There is also used sporting goods stores. Using these ideas, will save a considerable amount of money. Most times the equipment is in good shape. If the person was using it, they would not be selling it. You can get some phenomenal deals from people moving to a new location. They do not want to disassemble and reassemble the equipment, or don not want to haul the extra weight.
