Multi-Vitamins

A controversial topic among health professionals is multivitamin / mineral use. The purists (mostly tree-huggers) say that we can get all of the nutrition we need from food. This is obviously true if we eat a healthy, well-planned, varied diet that is very high in fruits and vegetables. Unfortunately, this kind of diet is about as common as sightings of dodo birds and unicorns – let’s face it, most people just don’t know enough or care enough to adopt this type of diet! For these people, it makes perfect sense to take a “multi” to avoid deficiencies of any of the essential nutrients. However, be aware that taking a multi definitely cannot provide the health benefits available from the hundreds of other healthy components of good foods.

The arguments for taking a multi are many. Even people who have a reasonably good diet could possibly benefit from a multi – just as a nutritional insurance policy. Remember, many countries like the USA and Canada add vitamin D, iron, folate, iodine and other nutrients to various foods and this has been proven to effectively minimize birth defects and other diseases that could result from deficiencies. A Harvard Medical School survey showed that health professionals, especially those who know the most about supplements, are big users. In fact, 81 percent of them had used a vitamin, mineral or fish oil supplement in the previous week.

Now for the recent research – beyond just using a multi for nutritional “insurance”, research suggests that they may decrease appetite and are associated with lower body weight, body fat and higher energy expenditure. It turns out that obese subjects who took supplements experienced all of these advantages and when obese subjects who didn’t take supplements were given them, they had lower appetite scores than the group who receive the inactive placebo pill.

So the take-home message here is that unless your diet is very good and includes a large variety of foods, you could likely benefit from a multi but the best advice is to try to optimize your diet, as this will have the most beneficial effects up your health. Additionally, taking a multi may decrease appetite and decrease fat mass and body weight. You will find pretty every brand will do a multi, here are a few suggestions as to some that I find to be very good. PHD – Catalyst, Reflex – Nexgen, Animal – Animal Pak, MuscleTech – Vitakic

Silvio Samuel Skipping The Arnold

Buy discount sport supplements and nutrition.

Silvio Samuel Skipping The Arnold

Bodybuilder Silvio Samuel has bowed out of the 2010 Arnold Classic Bodybuilding Show. Since his poor placing at the Mr Olympia Show (11th versus 7th the last two years), he has decided he needs to pack on more muscle to compete with the freaks in bodybuilding’s top 5. Despite being in the top 5 at his last two Arnold Shows, Silvio has probably made the correct decision if he seriously wants to be one of the world’s top pros and I take my hat off to him for taking the long-term approach. Too many bodybuilders hit a plateau at which they stop growing and look the same size show after show. By avoiding the stress of dieting and travelling and just focussing on eating and training, Silvio is giving himself the best chance of adding quality muscle and becoming one of bodybuilding’s big players. We could all learn a lesson from Silvio’s wise decision. I wish I could count how many times people ask me how they can gain muscle whilst losing fat! The answer is, if you’ve been training hard for several years it’s probably impossible for most people except those with exceptionally lucky genetics. So here’s a top tip, put on the mass you want first and THEN burn the fat later!

    The 6 Pac, Enough Said…

    The 6 Pac, enough said.

    Regardless of whether you love training your abs or view it as a chore that needs to be done, there’s no doubt you want a six-pack. It’s the piece de resistance of a human body honed to its most artistic and exceptional physical form, a hallmark of Roman statues of yore and the bodybuilding stages of present. The abs, however, aren’t only for show. They exist for functionality and play a role in all movement patterns, whether it’s just holding your body stable or acting dynamically as you bend, reach, twist and lift an object. Because of this, it’s critical that training your abs not become a mere afterthought in your workout, but a part taken as seriously as your efforts for back, legs, chest, delts and arms. The following workout will help you in you in this pursuit, as they’re all devised to not only improve your core power, but also etch in the deep ridges, lines and crisscrossed latticework that complete a physique worthy of admiration.

    If your abs are relatively lean but lack the peakes and valleys that make up an extraordinary midsection, this routine is for you. It uses added resistance beyond your bodyweight to prompt muscle growth where you need it, helping transform a merely flat or underdeveloped washboard into a three-dimensional, Six Pac. The workout is also developed between the three key areas of the midsection, those being the upper abs, lower abs and obliques, to ensure top-to-bottom, side-to-side development.
