Brisbane Personal Training: Improving our Physique!



Building a body is a lot like building a house. Start with a great framework and then when the house is built, decorate it. Many people get distracted with doing 'decoration' type exercises before they have built solid foundations, and then become disappointed with the results.

Consider the following tips

1. Prioritise - Health before physique. Focus on general health and injuries before working specifically on your physique.
2. Choose exercises that minimize risk to your body and that use more than one joint Eg. squats, deadlifts, bench press, chin-ups, and lat pull down. These will create the most change.
3. Focus on technique. Do not compromise - posture is everything.
4. Set realistic goals and accept that they may need to be adjusted to accommodate life's unexpected surprises.
5. Allow sufficient recovery time between workouts.
6. Be patient - don't try to break records weekly.


Good luck and remember that change requires both effort and consistency.

thexton.com.au:Cranberry Extract & Urinary Tract Infections!



For almost ninety years, cranberries have been used by countless women to prevent and treat urinary tract infections (UTIs).

Originally, scientists believed drinking cranberry juice cocktail acidified the urine, hindering the ability of the toxic bacteria that cause UTIs to proliferate. At the time, this practice was one of the few effective treatments for women with recurrent UTI.

Acidification?

A 1967 study shows consumption of commercial cranberry juice cocktail did not acidify the urine as was previously believed. Despite this, UTI sufferers continued to use cranberry juice with beneficial results.

A second study, published in The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) in 1994, confirmed the beneficial effects of regular consumption of cranberry juice.

In this study 153 female subjects were randomized into two groups, cranberry juice drinkers (10 ounces daily) and placebo, using a cranberry flavored beverage with no cranberry juice. After six months the results conclusively demonstrated that the drinkers of cranberry juice experienced fewer bacterial infections. Those with bacteria counts indicating an increased likelihood of infection diminished in the cranberry group as reflected by a 25% decrease in positive bacterial urine samples relative to the controls.

Because no assessment was made as to urinary tract infection symptoms, the study did not enable researchers to determine if cranberry actually cured full blown infections. Nevertheless, the evidence to support regular use of cranberry to prevent recurrent or chronic UTI is compelling to say the least.

Adhesions

Modern research has now led us to the discovery that cranberry helps relieve UTI not by any process of acidification, but rather due to its ability to prevent microorganisms from adhering to the epithelial cells that line the urinary tract. Escherichia coli (E. coli), the most common UTI-causing bacteria, produces chemicals known as adhesions, enabling the organism to cling to epithelial cells where they proliferate and cause infection. Cranberry juice was found to contain two substances which inhibit the adhesion activity of bacteria: fructose and an, as yet, unidentified polymeric compound.

It is now known that cranberry can reduce the bacteria responsible for UTIs. However, cranberry's effects on full blown UTI infections have not been studied, so women experiencing UTI or UTI symptoms should still seek medical intervention in addition to supplementing their diets with cranberry.

Because of the high sugar and moderate calorie content of cranberry juice, coupled with the amount required each day for optimum effect, some people prefer to take a cranberry extract instead of juice.

The dosage of concentrated cranberry extract (as used in clinical trials that demonstrated effectiveness against UTIs) is 400 mg per day.

The Return of Cod Liver Oil By Joanne Hay

Sally Fallon, Mary Enig and the Weston A Price Foundation have been saying it for years. Good old fashioned Cod Liver Oil is one of the most important whole food supplements. Mid 20th century, Dr Price found that the traditional diet of “primitive” groups of humans, no matter where in the world they lived, included 10 times more Vitamin A than “westerners”. He also found that they suffered none of the debilitating disease we suffer, the incidence of which has escalated since his findings were quashed by the emerging agribusiness feudalism of North America. Finally, we begin to hear his widom from other scientists mouths..

“Dosing children from a young age with cod-liver oil may have prevented previous generations from contracting asthma, according to a study released today.”

Short and Sweet: Herbel!

By Joanne Hay

A traditional recipe for wheat. Similar to Cream of Wheat, Herbel is traditionally eaten by Moroccans on the mornings of Id al-Fitr, the Feast of the Sacrifice, and the Prophet's birthday.

6 cups whole wheat grains 12 cups water (for soaking) 12 cups water (for cooking) 2 cups milk 2 cups rapadura 1 cup butter Honey and cream to taste Bring 12 cups of water to a boil, then pour it over the wheat grains and let them soak overnight.

The next day, drain the wheat and pound it with a mortar and pestle to loosen and remove the husks. Pass the husks through a sieve, then cook the wheat in 12 cups of fresh water for 3-4 hours, until the wheat is soft and creamy. Whisk in milk rapadura and butter, and serve hot with honey and cream.

Laughter is the best medicine!

Juan was driving down a country lane in his pickup when suddenly a chicken darted into the road in front of him. He slammed on his brakes, but realized that the chicken was speeding off down the road at about 30 miles an hour. Intrigued, he tried to follow the bird with his truck, but he couldn't catch up to the accelerating chicken.

Seeing it turn into a small farm, Juan followed it. To his astonishment, he realized that the chicken had three legs. Looking around the small farm, he noticed that ALL of the chickens had three legs. The farmer came out of his house, and Juan said, "Three-legged chickens? That's astonishing!" The farmer replied, "Yep. I bred 'em that way because I love drumsticks." Juan was curious. "How does a three-legged chicken taste?" The farmer smiled. "Dunno. Haven't been able to catch one yet."
