Why You Can’t Shed Lbs.

Post author By admin
Post date July 14, 2020

Why You Can’t Shed Lbs.

1.) Undoing all of your hard work during the week by overeating while binge watching tv shows or out at parties over the weekend.

2.) Lack of physical activity when you are not at the gym. If you sit most of the day (at home, at work) but only work out 1 hour per day, your metabolism is only revved during certain hours. It is important to move constantly throughout each day.

3.) Portion distortion of healthy foods… Eating too much healthy food such as olive oil can cause weight gain. If you are eating “half of an avocado” will be different if you are eating half of a large or half of a small Hass. Make sure you weigh out or measure portions in order to know the exact amount you are consuming.

4.) High Cortisol levels (stress hormone) causes weight gain around the midsection. It is important to practice mindfulness by meditating and breathing.

5.) Licking your spoon every time you bake or trying a bite or two of your child’s dinner can lead to weight gain over time.

6.) If you diet for months at a time, and eat the same things over without giving your body a break, your body will begin to stall. It is important to switch up the amounts and kinds of food you consume.

7.) Low Vitamin D is linked to trouble losing weight according to various studies.

8.) Chronic inflammation (pain) can make it harder to shed pounds.

9.) Lack of sleep (which can also cause stress) makes making healthy choices harder throughout the day.

10.) Hypothyroidism regulates your body temperature, in turn making your metabolism slower and weight loss harder to reach.

11.) Overdoing exercise and not getting proper rest will cause cortisol levels to rise and stay elevated.

Nighttime Routine for your Best Morning Yet

Post author By admin
Post date July 14, 2020

Nighttime Routine For Your Best Morning Ever:

Wake up happy and motivated by doing this at night:

Brush your teeth when you feel like having a nighttime snack. You should brush your teeth before bed anyways, but this will help ward off the urge to eat things before bed (especially since it does not taste as good with a minty mouth 😉
Prepare your outfit for the morning and have your workout gear and shoes ready for you to jump into the second you get out of bed. This will motivate you and not give you an excuse or waste any morning time. Don’t forget your headphones, a water bottle, shoes and jacket!
Go to bed early (so you can get at least 7-9 hours) of sleep per night! Skip the late night snacks, which helps you sleep better and burn more calories in the morning on an empty stomach.
Make a dream board, to-do agenda, or goal list (not just before bed) but make sure to note what you want to accomplish the next day. Then the next day, mark it off. If you have a clearer idea of what you want to do, you are more likely to do it. AND GET SPECIFIC! Your brain craves routine, so literally write down that you want to run 1.5 miles and do 15 push-up burpees at 6AM. (yes, that specific)
Imagine your morning (picture it in your mind, the feels, the temperature, and how happy you will be). When you wake up in the morning, go back to that picture in your head, and you will be more likely to experience it. The motivation to achieve that feeling will be worthwhile.
MEAL PREP! And do it with intention…If you go for a run at 6AM, either run on an empty stomach or have a small piece of fruit for quick energy. Follow it up with a complete balanced meal with PROTEIN, some healthy fat, and some greens for more energy.
Set your alarm to a tune or tone that is inspiring and amusing…not a dinging banging noise that you hate listening to. Pandora actually has an alarm and turn on a certain radio station at the time you wake up. Set it to your favorite music, which is going to make your mornings SO MUCH BETTER…promise 😉
Have a back-up plan… If it is raining, OR SNOWING!…What is your plan B? Can you still run or go to the gym? What about a free online workout video on Youtube, BeachBodyOnDemand.com or Barre3.com? (Ps-Those are my favorites for free online workouts). Maybe call a friend and see if they want to go for a walk later in the day so you don’t skip out completely.
Challenge yourself but DO NOT COMPARE YOURSELF! You are only in competition with yourself, not others. Some days are better than others, but be your own cheerleader. When you do not feel like getting up in the morning, ask yourself if your favorite athlete would ever skip out on a day just because they wanted to hit snooze one more time. Cheer and motivate yourself to get it done because of the rewards after are more fulfilling than the actual task at hand. When you say you won’t do something out of laziness, you are actually sending a neural pathway that tells your brain that is true! TELL YOURSELF A DIFFERENT STORY, THAT YOU ARE BEAST AND GOING TO KILL YOUR WORKOUT….and watch yourself JUST DO IT.

Best and Worst Cereal to Eat

Post author By admin
Post date July 14, 2020

Eat this… Not that

Not all Cereal is created equal, but many are filled with carbs and sugar.

Eat this: Freedom Foods Barley+ Toasted Muesli actually contains real, and natural antioxidants coming from its fruits, nuts, and non-gmo whole grains. It contains 3 different types of fiber including prebiotics and 3 grams of added sugar with 8 grams of protein to keep you satisfied.
NOT THAT: Kellogg’s Smart Start Antioxidant cereal: made with synthetic multivitamins, you are better off just having a piece of fruit. It contains 14 grams of sugar and 43! grams of total carbs. It has artificial coloring (yellow) and is filled with 4 different types of sugar!

Vs.

2.Eat this: Lydia’s Sprouted Berry Crunch: has only 5 grams of sugar and 11 grams protein; is non-gmo made with real organic dried berries
NOT THAT Captain Crunch Berries has several different types of food dyes and 1 cup has 16 grams of sugar and 1 gram of fiber.

Vs.

3.Eat this: Cascadian Farms O’s is made with Organic Whole grain oats and barley, and contains absolutely NO BHT! It contains ONLY 1 gram sugar for 1.25 cups (-13 grams less than Cheerios) and still has 3 grams of natural protein.
NOT THAT: Cheerios Protein Oats and Honey contains soybean crisps and corn which is genetically modified and can cause antibiotic resistance. It also contains plenty of sugar, BHT and caramel coloring, which is an endocrine disruptor. 1 cup ONLY has 6 grams Protein (even though they label it as a protein cereal), 34 grams of total carbs and 14 grams total sugars.

VS.

4.Eat this: Ezekiel Cinnamon Raisin is vegan and made with EVERYTHING organic…organic raisins, sprouted lentils, sprouted wheat, sprouted barley, sprouted spelt, sprouted organic soybeans, cinnamon and sea salt…that is it! It does have 41 grams of carbs but has 8 grams of natural sugars (from raisins) and 5 grams of fiber and 7 grams protein.
NOT THAT: Cinnamon Toast Crunch is a sugar bomb to say the least. Just touching it can rub a gram of 2 of sugar on to your finger tips.. It may contain “real cinnamon” but it has loads of other junk like sugar, fructose, maltodextrin and dextrose (all sneaky little names of unhealthy sugars). It also has canola oil which causes inflammation, trisodium phosphate which is a chemical grade stain remover and degreaser, BHT for freshness (which is linked to endocrine disorders and cancer).

Vs.

5.Eat this: Erewhon Crispy Brown Rice Cereal is much healthier than cocoa pebbles and rice krispies because it contains ONLY 3 simple ingredients…. which is rare to find in ALMOST ALL CEREALS! It contains brown rice, brown rice syrup and sea salt with less than 1 gram of sugar per serving and 25 grams of total carbs with 2 grams of protein. It is non-gmo and organic certified as well.
NOT THAT: Cocoa Krispies Rice Krispies Cereal with sugar being its second main ingredient, be concerned with the rest of the 14+ ingredients listed. It also contains hydrogenated oil (cottonseed and soybean oil).

ED Treatments

Post author By admin
Post date July 14, 2020

ED affects approximately 30 to 40 million males across the United States—ED and erectile dysfunction treatments are more common than you might think.

In fact, the words “erectile dysfunction treatments” are searched over 5000 times every month on Google. This simple statistic validates the existence of large numbers of men seeking effective treatment options.

As a male with ED, you may be experiencing some degree of depression or even be suffering from a loss of self-esteem or self-confidence. This may decrease your willingness to engage in any form of intimacy, disrupting the integrity of your long-term sexual relationship. The good news? As an expert in men’s sexual health, I can tell you that nearly 100% of men with ED can be treated successfully

…nearly 100% of men with ED can be treated successfully.

Although there are thousands of pages of online content regarding erectile dysfunction treatments, only four medical treatment options are commonly prescribed by urologists:

Oral Pills
Intra-Urethral Suppositories
Penile Injections
Vacuum Erection Devices
Uro-Gold 100
Surgery

These ED treatment options are all long-term therapies that can help manage the problem, but none of them actually provide cures for erectile dysfunction. Although many patients utilize these erectile dysfunction treatments successfully, approximately 70% discontinue their therapy within one year of follow-up due to the lack of efficacy and spontaneity, as well as high cost and ongoing side effects. Ultimately, it is the task of the urologist to identify the best erectile dysfunction treatments for each individual patient, focusing on the specific attributes that are most likely to achieve the greatest long-term success rates.

FORTUNATELY, WHEN MEDICAL TREATMENTS FAIL, THERE IS STILL HOPE! EVU CENTER HAS THE ANSWERS!

The single best solution for erectile dysfunction is the penile implant. As opposed to the medical therapies listed above, the penile implant is the only long-term solution that will definitively address ED.

The penile implant is a water-filled device that is placed through a small incision located just above the penis in the midline. After the device is placed, you will not need medications to perform sex, and the device is free of maintenance. Overwhelmingly, the implant allows you to achieve an erection for as long as you want, whenever you want. Your penile sensations, orgasms, and ejaculations remain normal and unaffected by the procedure. When the implant is deflated, the implant is soft and invisible. And when the implant is inflated, it appears natural for both you and your partner. Based on my extensive experience with penile implants over the last 18 years, the procedure can be absolutely transformational.

While the penile implant is often the best solution for men who have failed other conservative therapies, it still remains a secret to the community at-large due to a lack of education and marketing. For many years, penile implants have been misunderstood, and both primary care physicians and urologists have failed to educate their patients about this highly successful option. The Penile Implant procedure is relatively quick and straight-forward to perform, and has a modest recovery time of only 2–3 weeks. Importantly, only a small percentage of urologists perform penile implants in high volume. Therefore, it is very important to find a urologist who specializes in men’s health and penile implants (a prosthetic urologist) in order to obtain the most comprehensive evaluation and effective erectile dysfunction treatments.

Lemon Water

10 Benefits Of Drinking Lemon Water Every Morning

What we do first thing after waking up in the morning is what sets the theme for how the rest of the day may go, whether it is what we think, eat, or drink.

After coming out of our sleepy states – post the night-long work of fixing, cleansing, and repairing cells – our bodies need some hydration to clean the residue of the body’s toxins and revive its cells.

It is advisable to drink warm water instead of cold water in the morning as it fuels our systems a lot easier and processes functions better, too.

So, why not add a twist of lemon to that morning gulp of water? All you need to do is fill a 1-liter bottle with warm, cold, or room-temperature water and add about 4 slices of lemon to it. That citrus burst of flavor in your water, may also motivate you to want to drink more.

Our bodies are made up of around 60% water; however, we do not drink enough to keep our body’s water content at a healthy level. To counter this, adding some lemon slices to your daily dose of water can help your body’s cells get hydrated, absorb lemon’s natural and needed nutrients of vitamin C, limonene, citric acid, fiber, calcium, antioxidants like flavonoids, potassium, magnesium, pectin, and iron.

Here are some more reasons to drink some lemon water today and every day.

Boosts The Brain

Lemon water is said to reduce headaches, help you think clearly, focus better, and even increase brain power.

Acts As A Mouth Freshener

Just drinking lemon water or even making your own antiseptic mouthwash with lemon juice in it can help keep your breath fresh by killing bad bacteria built up in your mouth. Lemon stimulates saliva and helps to reverse dry mouth when consumed with water.

Stabilizes The Heart And Blood

The American Heart Association claimed that lemon water can reduce the risk of getting a stroke. Lemon being one of the top seven sources of potassium, it also helps stabilize blood pressure.

Cleanses Your Lungs

It helps your respiratory system stay in top function and reduce the accumulation of mucus or phlegm so that you can breathe easier and better.

Purifies Your Stomach

Having just a 500-ml glass of water with lemon first thing in the morning can improve your digestion and energy levels for the whole day. It also keeps you from getting hungry too easily, as it fills you up for longer. It further promotes the overall cleansing of your digestive and intestinal tracts and keeps your body from experiencing issues like constipation.

Detoxes The Liver

It purifies and detoxes your entire system, which is done by optimizing your liver function.

Washes The Kidneys And Urinary Tracts

Drinking lemon water can prevent urinary tract infections (UTI) and kidney stones. Citric acid in lemons may help prevent calcium kidney stones. UW Health recommends increasing citric acid intake to decrease your risk of getting new calcium stones.

Acts As A Youth Serum For The Skin

It has also been said to reduce your body and skin’s natural aging effects, including reducing wrinkles and making you look younger. A few drops of lemon juice rubbed all over your skin can also act as a natural insect repellent.

Fights Pain And Illnesses

Lemon water is known to lower inflammation in the body, especially in your joints, reduce pains of most kinds, and even reduce a high fever.

Provides A Healthier Lifestyle/Weight Loss Aid

A study published in the Journal of Clinical Biochemistry and Nutrition showed that polyphenol antioxidants found in lemons significantly reduced weight gain caused by a high-fat diet in mice. In addition, insulin resistance was improved. If you’re trying to cut down on the amount of coffee you drink, use some hot lemon water as a substitute. In terms of overall physical health, it regulates your metabolic rates, strengthens your immune system to prevent diseases, and helps burn calories as there are only 4 calories in a tablespoon of fresh lemon juice. It also gives your body its needed hydration and oxygen and even stabilizes the pH levels to make you feel lighter, have more energy, and be healthier overall.
