6 Bodily Tissues That Can Be Regenerated Through Nutrition It may come as a surprise to some, especially those with conventional medical training, but the default state of the body is one of ceaseless regeneration. Without the flame-like process of continual cell turnover within the body – life and death ceaselessly intertwined – the miracle of the human body would not exist. In times of illness, however, regenerative processes are overcome by degenerative ones. This is where medicine may perform its most noble feat, nudging the body back into balance with foods, herbs, nutrients, healing energies, i.e. healing intention. Today, however, drug-based medicine invariably uses chemicals that have not one iota of regenerative potential; to the contrary, they almost always interfere with bodily self-renewal in order to suppress the symptoms against which they are applied. Nerve Regeneration – There are actually a broad range of natural compounds with proven nerve-regenerative effects.

Eat Big and Gain Nothing But Muscle What you eat will either be used by muscle or stored as fat. This process is called nutrient partitioning. If your body partitions nutrients well, they'll go to muscle. If it doesn't, count on gaining 2 to 3 pounds of fat for every pound of muscle you try to build. Bad Genetics? Do you know anybody who's built? Almost every calorie these gifted men and women eat goes straight to muscle. You? The difference between you and them is largely genetic. Another hugely significant advantage possessed by the gifted has to do with how well they partition nutrients, which, luckily, is a gift you can acquire, too. Not All Calories Are Treated the Same Nutrient partitioning is the process by which the body decides what to do with the energy you get from your diet. When you eat something, the nutrients are either burned or they're stored for future use. That's why the old statement that "a calorie is a calorie" isn't really true, at least in the way that calorie is treated by the body. Two Roads to Take

Shredded in 6 Days There's lean and then there's really lean and dry, like how a bodybuilder looks on stage. If you're already lean, this 6-day plan will take you to the next level, just in time for a contest or photo shoot. You don't just want to dump water weight; you want the muscles to look full and round. This will require special techniques. The 4 Levels of Leanness There's more than one level of leanness. Level 1: Not overweight, but no visible abs either. Level 2: In shape. Level 3: Nicely cut. Level 4: Shredded. Level 4 leanness involves not only a very low level of body fat, but also a certain extent of dryness. The goal of this peaking procedure is to minimize subcutaneous water (just beneath the skin) while keeping the muscle as full as possible. A full muscle will push against the skin, and if there's no water between the muscle and skin... voilà: separated and full muscle bellies. Accidentally Ripped? A lot of times we accidentally manipulate our subcutaneous fluid levels. Overview 1. 2. 3. A1.

Orange and Fennel Salad Recipe Signs Your Body Is Too Acidic And 9 Ways To Quickly Alkalize It A variety of physical problems and diseases are caused by acidity. The vast majority of the populace in industrialized nations suffers from problems caused by acidification, because both diet and modern lifestyle promote acidification of the body's internal environment. Acidic bodies are unhealthy bodies. When the body is acidic, it creates an unwanted environment where illness, bacteria, and yeast thrive. Because of this, the body's mineral reserves such as calcium, sodium, potassium and magnesium can run dangerously low and cause damage that can go undetected for years, until it reaches unhealthy levels, causing acidosis. Most of us are already consuming enough acid forming foods, such as dairy, grains, meats and sugar. Consider The Health Problems Caused By Mild Acidosis (Poor pH Balance): Doesn't The Body Adjust pH On Its Own? Yes it can, but it does so at a price. Start By Knowing Your pH You Can't Tell If Food Is Acidic Or Alkaline By taste Alone The Body Has Limits What You Eat Matters

Bodyweight Isometrics for Improved Strength (No, Really!) We already know what you're thinking. "Bodyweight isometrics in my strength program? You've got to be kidding me!" If we were trying to come up with an article topic that would simultaneously draw the ire of the entire strength and conditioning world, destroy our credibility, and raise the estrogen levels of anyone unfortunate enough to lay their eyes upon it, bodyweight isometrics would hit the bull's-eye. Hear us out. This article is about leveraging the benefits of an extremely powerful training tool that's been used by bodybuilders, Russian power athletes, and Olympic gymnasts for centuries. Enter the World of Isometrics Bodybuilding legend Charles Atlas first introduced isometrics to the fitness world in the 1920s under the term, "dynamic tension." The popularity of isometrics surged again in the 1950s after a study by Hettinger and Mueller showed that a small dose of daily isometrics could increase strength by 5% per week for up to 10 weeks.
