Best way to cut fat is to build muscle

Tuesday, October 18th, 2011

Good offense is the best defense. So if you need to decrease that extra weight, go for muscle building or bodybuilding. In that way you will not be fighting  a loosing battle against fat, but will be consciously working towards a better health and a better body. As a men’s magazine we at HealthHunch always like you to be in the best shape. Best physique is a very good asset for men, period. You might want to dismiss it if you are touching forty and have a flat tyre of fat around your waist, but it is not sexy. No sir it is not.

Apart from other health benefits a good toned muscular body gves you self confidence and a sense of heightened masculinity that you might be lacking till now.

So all in all it is essential Males should have a toned body. But as a fat cutter program how much the build muscle dream holds water? In other words, is it an achievable target? Well if you think of Arnold Schwarzenegger, then it is not possible, but if you want to have a flat belly with no pot belly, then it is definitely achievable. Just hang in there.

You will need two things.

1. Half an hour each day

2.  Restriction on fattening foods

Thats it.  You might be astonished, but that is what is required. Just do some squats without weights/situps. Say you manage only 25, good. Now do not panic that you just did 25. Now as your lower body has done some exercise, you should loosen up your arms by doing some warm ups. Just do some jumping jacks, say 25 again. Now do push ups. You will find push ups a little bit difficult. Say you manage only 15. Do not get alarmed.

If you have a pull up bar go for 5 pull ups, if you do not have, no problem, just  do some stretching s.

Then the most important part. Repeat this cycle 2-3 times. You will be in sweat, and panting for air. This is good and trust me you will have increased strength for doing more reps and for more sets soon.

Your body will get accustomed. Remember the key Just Do It everyday with a weekly off. webmd has some very good images demonstrating exercise postures, you can follow them too, WebMd.

You will gain muscle mass and you will loose that fat for sure.

So men go get that figure you always wanted

Being at a health magazine ourselves we know how to spot the good from the evil. So when Kyle K. tells the number one reason of weight gain is a hormone called insulin we know he knows what he is doing. I mean we have seen many and I mean literally many health products over the year, but nobody tells you upfront the REAL Basis of weight management in human body. So we were interested.

Autism Sensory Integration - Where Do Parents Start?

Friday, September 17th, 2010

By Mylinda Elliott

Unfortunately in this day and age there are still people who do not see Sensory Integration as a treatment therapy for children with Autism. Unfortunately many people do not see it as a therapy in its own right.

It is a therapy so intense that is can be puzzling and daunting to people. It is also a therapy so simple with gains that are so important and significant. Whether working with a child who is over sensitive or under sensitive there is help to be had.

The first thing for a parent to think about when considering Sensory Integration is being able to suspend their thoughts and feelings. They have to be able to do that to acquire the empathy of thought and feeling needed to figure out what to do to help their child.

If a child is screaming because they are over sensitive to their environment they will not be able to learn. If a child is so under stimulated that they can not work up the energy to engage they will not be able to learn.

Parents can help a child with Autism that has these characteristics. There are several areas associated with Sensory Integration. These areas are oral, tactile, aural, visual, and proprioceptive. Another way to say this is mouthing, touching, hearing, seeing, and being able to tell where your body is in relation to people and things.

Early consistent speech therapy is critical to a child with Autism. Some children with and without Autism may not need speech therapy or as much speech therapy if they get it early. The same theory works with Sensory Integration.

Early consistent Sensory Integration in all areas may help a child to the extent is may not be needed or needed to that level later. It is not voodoo or magic. It is a consistent application of techniques that work.

Autism Behaviors - What Signs Do I Look For?

Wednesday, September 15th, 2010

By Mylinda Elliott

One of the hardest parts of being a parent of a child with Autism is figuring out the meaning of the different signs that my child shows me. Some behaviors are typically signs present in a lot of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders. Other behaviors that might seem to be signs might be typical behavior for a child that age.

Examples might be a child that does not play with other children. One of the first things to consider as a parent is how old the child is. Parents would want to be a lot more concerned about a five year old that does not want to play with other children than with a three year old.

We would expect a three year old to be doing more parallel playing and be more demanding about possessing a toy. It would help to know how much opportunity there is for the three year old or the five year old to play with other children. If there are few opportunities then it would not be surprising to see issues in playing with other children.

When parents look at a list of signs of Autism parents have to remember to look at more than just the description. They also need to remember not all children have even most of the items on the list. Then when we have a handle on which characteristics our child has we look at what else might be going on in our child’s life.

This process is not unlike what parents do with their typical children. When issues come up they look at what exactly the issues or signs are. Then we look at what else is going on in our child’s life.

This is also a similar process that a careful medical evaluation will use. Just the way no two typical children are alike, no two children with Autism are alike. A careful medical evaluation will also look at compensatory skills our child with Autism has learned to be able to survive and keep up.

Parents are the first line at looking for issues their children are having. With a little thought about the signs and their meanings, they can be the best reporters when participating in the evaluation process. They have insight and information no one else has available.

Creating Healthy Snacks - A Fun Time With Food

Monday, September 13th, 2010

By Lynn Bakken

What is a healthy snack? Something eaten not at a regular meal time. Do we need snacks? Do kids need snacks? Snacks are fun, and at times can be lost in junk food and eaten in mindless inattention. What if snack time could be something totally fun AND nutritious? Check it out!

What if a healthy snack was a time for presence, full focus of the food being eaten. What if, since a snack is small and eaten faster than a “meal” you and your children could play a game of the senses. What does the food smell like? Is it savory, sweet, minty? What does it smell like? How about the colors, the brighter the foods the better, especially with fruits an vegs. Really spend some time here before you and your child bite into the food. Then take a very small bite and roll it around in the mouth. What is the texture and finally the taste. Oh, the outstanding taste, salty, sour, sweet, yummy, yucky, allow for all and any responses. Kids don’t have to like every thing that you offer, but keep offering new options. Snacks are a great time to make these offerings since it s not a big deal if the child doesn’t eat them. It’s not like their entire food for the day depends on them eating this food. It’s a snack for God’s sake! Have fun at snack time.

So now that you have spent time with the senses and the food, next time try different foods with the eyes closed and no touching, feed each other a food, kids feed parent and parent to kids, the can guild trust and a new game. See if you each can get the snack into your mouth without touching it.

Snacks can be the funnest thing in the world. What about going to the store and seeing what new snack you can create that takes nothing other than your hands to eat. No needing for tableware,like any fruits, OK most fruits and vegs. Go beyond the fruits and vegs to other nutritious foods that can be a hands only snack. Get creative! Try some interesting sauces on snacks, try making humus with new ingredients, let your kids pick the new ingredients for the humus or salsa, that way then can learn what things taste good together and what things they don’t like.

Remember what you ate as a snack as a kid and share those experiences with your kids. Talk about those that were great and great for you and those that were so yummy and not so good for the tummy. Discuss what makes one snack better than another. Perhaps it’s the taste, texture, the nutrition or not. How about making a new snack that no one has ever had before. Create a new mix of granola rolls with new and exciting grains. Again anything can be a snack and it’s a great time to play with food, do you allow your kids to play with their foods, snack time is play time.

Can you take these suggestions and begin to use them at your snack time at work? Take the time to truly experience the foods that you eat. Know them intimately then you can be more open to your kids playing with their snacks.

Snack: what is a snack but a time out with food. Make snacks fun and healthy. Time out of the rush and stress of the day to play and enjoy the foods we are eating and knowing that.
