A report was released yesterday from the Kings College of London and although the details are tough to find right now on the internet, the study still shows a lot of evidence that drinking tea is very good for you. Drinking three or more cups of tea a day is as good for you as drinking plenty of water and may even have extra health benefits, say researchers. The work in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition dispels the common belief that tea dehydrates. Tea not only rehydrates as well … [Read more...] about Health Report On Tea

Bodybuilding Myths
There are a lot of myths in bodybuilding. When I was young, I took many things at face value. I just didn't think there was a whole lot of written material meant to entertain me at best or mislead me at worst. I eagerly perused bodybuilding periodicals from cover to cover in search of what would satiate my desire to obtain a muscular physique. I spent thousands of dollars on supplements that were probably all worthy of the fate that befell a bottle of colostrum I purchased in 1990. I chucked … [Read more...] about Bodybuilding Myths

There are at least five detox diet options when it comes to trying to clean out your body. I am going to stay away at this point from the battle between the detoxers and the non-detoxers.

Eating better on a business trip
I think I may have covered this before but I am struggling with my eating this week as I am on a short business trip. Yesterday I started my eating easily enough and left town before lunch to do some computer work in Winnipeg. I didn't eat again until almost 9:30 at night and even then it was chicken strips at the hotel lounge (high protein, low carbs, still does not make up for the grease). Today I tried to get back on track but with an empty backpack I had a breakfast bagel at the … [Read more...] about Eating better on a business trip
Bigger steak is not always better
It is barbequing season, well yes I kn ow it is always a good time for a bbq but tonight while eating I was thinking about the giant steaks that we get everytime I order from a restaurant in the US.

I love steak probably as much as anyone but the best thing that you can do is to eat half of your steak with dinner and then … [Read more...] about Bigger steak is not always better

Spacing out your meals
How often do you eat? I know that when I was lifting a lot of weights a few years back I tried to eat every 2 hours, actually it was a bit of a race to see how many meals a day I could eat. I am a little more responsible now ass far as eating is concerned. I eat breakfast, lunch and dinner and then stuff snacks between each meal and then have an evening snack. To be sure I may not be eating enough protein as I try to push but each of those meals that i eat I try to keep smaller than the … [Read more...] about Spacing out your meals
