5 Ways to Keep Your Body Young

Keep Your Cells Healthy

Every day in your body 432 billion cells die and are replaced with new cells. This is the key to regenerating your body and staying young. Because of this you could have a better functioning body next year if you want, skinnier, with less pains and more energy…if you take the right steps.

That 432 billion number is a just a scientific estimate. Cells are so small and there are so many in your body (somewhere between 60 -100 trillion) that no one could ever count them individually. This is also why you don’t notice your body renewing itself all the time, but it is!

Factor N 5: Hi-tech biomedicine

For the individual concerned, medical treatment may obviously have a literally vital role in permitting a long and healthy life. But we should not forget that such "crisis-management", necessary and important as it is, is not the same as dealing with the aging process itself.

There is sometimes a temptation (and even, from the narrow "medical-industry" point of view, a commercial incentive) to live recklessly -- the most obvious example is of course smoking; closely followed by eating the typical "junk" diet -- and assume that the "repair depot" will be able to magically fix any resulting problems. (This is alas, all too often, a young person's perspective.)

Perhaps, by outlining examples of the "nitty-gritty" detail involved in some of the latest techniques, we may be able to give such a reader pause for thought. Prevention, where this is feasible (and in many cases it is), is incomparably better than cure!

3 Easy Full-Body Exercises, 1 Piece of Equipment

If you are looking for one very efficient piece of exercise, look no further than the kettlebell. Kettlebell workouts are famous for burning fat by increasing lean muscle while building balance and grace. Plus it is an amazing stress-reliever that relieves tension in both the muscles and the mind. The exercises are simple, yet effective.

When used correctly, kettleballs are wonderful conditioning tools. They can be used for various purposes such as:

• Cardiovascular conditioning
• Fat loss
• Strength and stamina
• Muscular endurance, especially the legs, buttocks and lower back

The Ultimate Muscle-Building Vegetarian Menu!

When you hear the words "buff vegetarian," does anyone come to mind? How about former Mr. Universe Bill Pearl and six-time Ms. Olympia Cory Everson? These eye-popping physiques were both supported by a vegetarian diet.

It's more than possible to build lean muscle without eating meat. If it sounds crazy, keep reading.

Do you want to expand your grocery-shopping horizons, pack in new sources of high-quality nutrients, and still consume 150-plus grams of protein in one day? Well, you'll get all that and more from the meatless meal plan below.

So if your tastebuds and food sensibilities are begging for a change—Ah! Not another chicken breast!—why not try vegetarian for a day?

You don't have to eat like a rabbit, and you don't have to commit to lifelong veggie-worship to take vegetarianism for a test drive.

It's all about complementary proteins and taking in all of your amino acids, minus the meat. But let's skip the science and get to the mouthwatering recipes, shall we?

Super-Low Carb Or Intermittent Fasting?

Q

Low-carb diets seem to be king of the hill at the moment, but I've been hearing a lot about intermittent fasting lately. Which is a better fat-loss diet?

This is a great question. The two approaches are more similar on a biochemical level than most people would think. Both are low-insulin diets, meaning they provoke a minimal insulin response from your body. Both also qualify as demanding diets, because they're in dead contrast with the way most people eat and can require a drastic change in eating habits and priorities.

The Road Warrior Program: 5 Ways To Make Hotel Gyms Work

Hotel gyms can be depressing, but your program doesn't have to suffer. With a little imagination and planning, your time on the road can leave you better off than when you left home!

If you're one of my fellow Frequent Flyer Club members, you know how difficult it can be to stay on a regular training schedule. With limited access to quality gyms, an agenda of back-to-back-to-back meetings, and the ever-constant pull to cozy up in your freshly made bed and watchFriends reruns in the evening, fitness quickly moves down the priority list.

If hotel gyms were 6,000-foot elite training facilities, this wouldn't be the case. As it is, their dumbbells top out at 50 pounds—if you're lucky—and the exercise equipment is usually limited to the creaky ol' treadmill, a half-inflated Swiss ball, and a laughable ab device of indeterminate origin.

The easiest option is wing it and try to be satisfied with a half-decent improvised workout. Wait, scratch that: The easiest option is to forego training altogether and order room service. Of course, you could also always revert to sweating away on whatever cardio machine is available, but for some of us, that's not the same thing as "training."

Weight Loss Plateaus: How to Get Over the Hump

You've put in the hard work. You've overhauled your diet. You've put in countless hours at the gym, sticking to those grueling workouts time and time again. You've been rewarded with continuously-dropping numbers on the scale. And then it happens: you hit a weight-lossplateau. Hitting a plateau can be more than just frustrating, it can be downright dispiriting. But you're not alone--this eventually happens to nearly everybody who has tried to lose weight, and it's perfectly normal for your weight loss to gradually slow down and even come to a complete halt. Don't let this discourage you to the point that you revert back to old habits.

Reasons for Weight-Loss Plateaus

4 TRX Suspension Training Exercises You Can Do at Home.

The benefits of training with a TRX Suspension Training System for just about everyone are undeniable.

From hard core athletes to traveling executives to the busy stay at home mom, the portability and versatility make the TRX one of the best fitness gadgets invented for a time-effective workout.

Exercising with a TRX provides a more comprehensive and beneficial strength workout than you can get using dumbbells or machines by utilizing gravity and the user's body weight when exercising for a total body workout.

Here is a sampling of some of the many exercises that can be done utilizing the TRX.

TRX Squat
Face the system, stand with the handles at mid chest, arms are tight to your sides and elbows are bent. Position feet approximately shoulder width apart. Contract your abs and keep them tight as you bend the knees and slowly squat. Sit back and down like you're sitting into an imaginary chair, keeping your back straight and knees pointed in the same direction and in line with your toes. Descend until your thighs are parallel to the floor and your knees are over your ankles. Keep your body tight and push through your heels to bring yourself back to the starting position.
