“Anti-oxidant dietary supplement” is a joke, do not clarify the mantra. American ’s in the simple definition of antioxidants have been education: cancer fighter. Really have to explain more about these add how it works. Is still the real thing is undoubtedly the high incidence of cancer, especially in the elderly.

American Cancer Society reports that from 1997 to 2001 for all types of cancer between the new case diagnosed in the United States rate of about 470 per 100,000 individuals. During the same period, about 200 individuals per 100,000 cancer deaths each year. It further reported that 76% of all cancers are diagnosed in people 55 years of age. When the cancer rate is high, it will recommend that; the death rate from cancer is not as high.

Not surprisingly, the population of that cancer, many people decided on preventive medicine route. However, an antioxidant dietary supplement how to do and it really work? First, we must explain the villain, as long as scientists know so far is the “free radicals”. These are likely to damage human cells of oxygen molecules and other reactive compounds. Human health, these villains from viruses, pollutants, solar radiation and even the process of normal cell production.

There is the stability of free radicals in the fit, and wash them from the body of the three types of antioxidants.

You work your tail off. You go to all your kids’ school and extracurricular activities. You help with the housework and maybe even cook a little (God bless ya).

And let’s not forget that your belly keeps growing and growing. Year by year, month by month, that gut just keeps getting bigger.

You may not even drink beer, but you’ve got a beer belly and don’t know how to get rid of it.

You don’t have any free time, so how are you going to fit in a decent workout. And even if you had the time, you wouldn’t know what to do other than what you read in a magazine article written by some bodybuilder or fitness model who doesn’t understand what it’s like to be a busy dad these days.

Your idea of healthy eating is one less burger or cutting back on the bagels in the break room.

So how does a busy dad lose fat? How does a dad who’s got little free time to workout lose stomach fat? How do you get rid of that gut and maybe even get some good looking muscles in the right places?

1. You have to do resistance training

OK, that one’s obvious, but are you doing it correctly? Do you wander into the gym not knowing what the heck to do so you pick the nearest machine or head straight for the dumbbell rack and proceed to do bicep curls or bench press, or maybe you want to work on that stomach fat and do a few hundred sets of crunches or other abs exercises?

That is not how you do resistance training if you want to lose stomach fat and get in better shape. You’ve got to head in to the gym with a plan. On second thought, you don’t even have to go to the gym. You can get an awesome workout from home using nothing but your own bodyweight and some dumbbells. So let’s just take the gym out of the equation totally.

You can get an effective, intense fat burning workout in from home in as little as 15 minutes, which is great for you because you don’t think you have time to devote to a longer workout.

When coming up with your workout program you need to throw out all those crunches, the bicep curls and the endless amounts of chest presses and focus on a fat loss workout that will work your entire body and work it hard. You also need to incorporate supersets and mini-circuits to help you get done in as little time possible.

Here’s an example of a full body fat loss workout, after you’ve warmed up:

1A) Push-up – 15 reps 1B) DB Lunge – 10 reps per leg, rest 30 seconds them repeat 2x

2A) DB Row – 8 reps 2B) DB Overhead Squat – 10 reps, rest 30 seconds them repeat 2x

3A) DB Incline Chest Press – 8 reps 3B) Mt. Climber – 30 seconds, rest 30 seconds them repeat 2x

That workout should only take you around 15 minutes to complete and will have you burning fat like crazy. It worked your entire body, including your beach muscles. Read more…

Well, to begin with, there isn’t really any one Mediterranean Diet! There’s a whole swag of countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea. The basic Mediterranean Diet has common characteristics even if the sourrounding countries differ in culture, language and recipes to some extent.

* an extensive intake of fruits, vegetables, bread and cereals, potatoes, beans, nuts and seeds
* olive oil is a source of mono-unsaturated fat – common to the Mediterranean area
* some dairy products, fish and even poultry are consumed in sparing to moderate amounts, and some red meat(not much)
* eggs are consumed in low to moderate amount say 1 to 4 eggs a week
* fortunately wine is acceptable but in low quantities ie. 1 – 3 glasses per day

A good question to ask is – Does a Mediterranean-style diet follow American Heart Association dietary guidelines?

Mediterranean-style diets are often close to US dietary guidelines, but not exactly.

People who follow the average Mediterranean diet eat less saturated fat than those who eat the average American diet. In fact, saturated fat consumption is well within US dietary guidelines. More than half the fat calories in a Mediterranean diet come from mono-unsaturated fats (mainly from olive oil). Mono-unsaturated fat doesn’t raise blood cholesterol levels the way saturated fat does.

The incidence of heart disease in Mediterranean countries is lower than in the United States. Death rates are lower, too.
However there are some who feel this may not be entirely due to the diet. Lifestyle factors (ie. more physical activity and extended social family support structures) may also play a part. At this stage this is just a theory. However the research tells all – the diet has existed for umpteen years.

If you would like further proof of the mediterranean diet benefits resulting from research and qualified researchers you could try visiting http://content.nejm.org/cgi/content/short/348/26/2599 or http://my.webmd.com/content/article/67/80070.htm. Both of these sites give good ‘food for thought’(excuse the pun).

“Olive oil plays a central role, but it is not alone,” says Dimitrios Trichopoulos, MD, PhD, of Harvard School of Public Health.

“It’s among the divine mix of several factors that, when used in combination, help provide strong evidence of something that is very important — eating the proper diet can significantly reduce your risk of early death.”

He and researchers from Greece studied some 22,000 adults, aged 20 to 86, from all regions of that country; most previous studies tracked only older people who were more likely to die during the study. The participants answered detailed questionnaires about their eating habits throughout the four-year study. Then they were rated on how closely they followed the key principles of the Mediterranean diet. Read more…
