Top 5 Combination Exercises

Posted by Matt - July 19, 2008 on 9:00 am | In Diet Blog | No Comments

Combination Exercises consist of two different lifts at the same time. This type of exercise gets the heart rate up and sheds the inches quickly. I use this style of lifting with my clients at least once a week. I recommend doing 2 sets of 15 to 20 reps.

Posted by db@diet-blog.com - July 18, 2008 on 6:28 am | In Diet Blog | No Comments

Health experts often blame poor neighborhood's inaccessibility to healthy food--like fruits and vegetables--for their community's declining health. In May, The New York Times reported that supermarkets are leaving areas like Queens and Harlem, making it difficult for residents to find fresh food within walking distance of their homes.

That's why the Veggie Mobile is a great idea! The Veggie Mobile is a basically a farmers market on wheels. Serving neighborhoods around Albany, New York, the Veggie Mobile sells wholesale produce to low-income communities and senior living communities.

Posted by db@diet-blog.com - July 17, 2008 on 6:24 am | In Diet Blog | No Comments

Us guys can be pretty daft...at least when it comes to our health. June 9th to June 15th was men's health week and it is as good a time as any for us men to take an honest look at ourselves and ask: Am I healthy? If the answer is "no", "not as healthy as I could be", or "Are you kidding - I played football in high school", it may be time to figure out how you can answer that question with a confident "yes".

Here are some less-than-cheery facts about men's health that can hopefully act as a wake-up call.

John Agnesini bit into a foot-long Subway and discovered a little extra: a 7 inch serrated knife. It appeared to be baked into the bread.

"It's shocking. You see this metal knife. I mean, it's one thing seeing a hair or something," Agnesini said. "If I didn't look at it, could you imagine what would happen? I could've slashed the side of my mouth." (NY Post)

Weight Loss Stalls: Are Weekends to Blame?

Posted by db@diet-blog.com - July 16, 2008 on 6:08 am | In Diet Blog | No Comments

If you're finding your weight loss efforts are stalling, don't take weekends off your diet. According to a new study out of Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, weekend eating patterns could be a key reason for sluggish weight loss.

This is the first study to carefully monitor daily body weight, calorie intake and calorie expenditure for several weeks throughout a year, and to demonstrate that increased caloric intake is a problem on most weekends.

Mediterranean Diet: Worth Taking a Second Look

Posted by db@diet-blog.com - July 15, 2008 on 6:41 am | In Diet Blog | No Comments

It's not terribly sexy.

As diets go, it floats under the radar. It's not promoted heavily by any celebrities and if it were, it wouldn't get much press anyway. It's been permutated, repackaged and resold by diet book authors, and it quietly goes about its business preventing disease, prolonging life, cutting heart disease risk, dodging type II diabetes, curbing Alzheimer's and fighting allergies among other health-boosting attributes.

The latest on the Mediterranean diet is its impact on cancer, with a recent study showing a 12% reduced risk by implementing just a couple of Mediterranean-inspired easy-to-make changes.

New Guidelines: Exercise More, not Harder

Posted by db@diet-blog.com - July 14, 2008 on 6:59 am | In Diet Blog | No Comments

This will likely be the battle cry from the U.S. Government when they release their policy on exercise later this year. William Kraus, a Duke University cardiologist and professor of medicine, is one of 13 fitness experts who helped compile information for the guidelines and summarizes the 638 pages of recommendations like this:

Basically, don't sit around all day, and when you do move, you don't have to go at breakneck speed...."Whether you walk a mile, jog a mile or sprint a mile, it burns about 100 kilocalories," with the same health benefits.
