Prohormone Ban 01/04/2010

As most of us have heard the DEA has banned some very effective prohormone compounds as of January 4^th 2010. With the issuance of this final rule, the Deputy Administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) classifies the following three prohormone ingredients as ‘‘anabolic steroids’’ under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA): This includes the following ingredients Boldione, desoxymethyltestosterone, and 19-nor-4,9(10)-androstadienedione. These steroids and their salts, esters, and ethers are schedule III controlled substances subject to the regulatory control provisions of the CSA.  Effective Date: January 4, 2010.

Those of use that have used any type of prohormone supplement with the above listed ingredients know that they work. But, unfortunately so does the government. I doubt that we will ever know the real reason why the DEA has decided to ban these muscle building supplements but in the mean time I suggest stocking up as quickly as possible.

 Here are some ideas to help keep your stock of prohormone muscle building supplements lasting as long as possible. Most dietary supplements of this nature have an average shelf life of 2 to 3 years before expiration. Plus having to cycle on and off for maximum effects helps to not drain your stock up as fast but, also increases the length of time you will have them sitting on a shelf wasting away.

 1.       Keep your supplements in a cool yet very dry place, away from any moisture. Moisture has a way of making supplements breakdown faster than they should.

2.       Try to eliminate oxygen getting to your supplements; putting them into an air tight container will help. Oxygen is factor that can speed up the breakdown and the effectiveness of certain supplements. Just putting your un-opened prohormone supplements in a zip lock bag can really help to extend their shelf life.

3.       Keeping opened containers stored in cool dry places without moisture will help to extend their life. You can also go ahead and keep these in air tight containers as well. This will help to ensure a longer more beneficial supplement while you are using it.

 By taking the following steps you can ensure that your prohormone supplements will last longer than their normal shelf life.  Buying in bulk is not always feasible for everyone but, those of us who use prohormone’s correctly and safely may not have a choice for quite awhile thanks to this ban.

Macro Greens

After starting to use Macro Greens, I noticed substantial increases in my energy reserves, and over all well-being. I felt healthier all over; I hardly ever get sick anymore, and I have even lost a little weight, which is always a bonus! I love this stuff, but my taste buds don’t really like it, so to ease their suffering I like to add my greens to prune juice or my vanilla protein.  Jean Tacoma, Washington

So, you’re trying to pack on muscle, but nothing seems to stick to your thin frame. What to do?

The Hardgainer

First off, be sure you are eating plenty of calories. When I tell most hardgainers to eat, their usual response is, “I never stop eating.” I’m going to say that most of the time, they’re not accurate. Eating 6 hot dogs at a family get-together may seem like a lot, but it’s mostly junk and usually that’s the highlight of their eating habits.

The foods you need to be consuming should be calorie-dense, and beneficial to gaining muscle. Here’s a sample list.

 Peanut Butter
 Whole Milk
 Whole Eggs
 Red Meat
 Cheese
 
Some of these foods you would not be able to get away with eating if you weren’t a hardgainer, but they are great additions to typical muscle-building meals. These are calorie-dense and nutrient-dense to help you pack on solid mass.

Of course, eating enough calories overall is essential as well. For starters, try to get in about 18 calories per pound of bodyweight a day. You may need to adjust this based on how quickly the weight comes on or, if it doesn’t come on fast enough.

Use the above foods to compliment your meals. Add a glass of milk to meals 1 and 3. Add a couple tablespoons of peanut butter to your protein shakes, etc.

With smarter food choices, you’ll find that it’s not too hard being a hardgainer.

Five foods all women should Consume

This is just a limited list of the top 5 foods all women should make a priority to consume weekly.  Consuming these foods in the organic form boosts the benefits immensely.  Check it out:

1. Dairy:  women need calcium and vitamin D for bone health, especially as they age, to fight osteoporosis.  Using organic yogurt and milk, not only decreases the chances of antibiotic and hormone consumption, but also promotes more humane treatment of the cows and the pastures they live on.

2. Super Salads:  women are big salad eaters.  By simply choosing organic lettuce, and the veggies you top on it, you can add up to 25% more antioxidants in the same amount of food, and even add an extra serving of veggies to your daily intake.

3. Fruits:  add variety for texture, color, and fiber content.  The thinner the skin, the more important it is to choose organic.  Thoroughly washing, even organic fruits, is very important, to remove any residue or transfer from other items in the store.  Fruits provide an abundance of antioxidants and phytochemicals that fight cancer and cell damage.

4. Tomatoes:  organic tomatoes contain more lycopene than non-organic.  Even better, try getting an organic “just picked” tomato for the most beneficial nutrient content. Lycopene lowers risk for cancer and heart disease.

5. Grass-Fed Beef:  red meat is beneficial for its iron and lean protein content.  By choosing free range, grass-fed beef, you are promoting more environmentally friendly farming (as with the dairy), and the beef itself is leaner and contains five times the omega-3’s as compared to its grain-fed counterparts.

As a bonus, organic Red wine (in moderation, of course), has 32% more antioxidants than non-organic.  The antioxidants found in the skin of grapes has been shown to lower blood pressure, slow the aging process, and prevent some cancers.  Be smart, drink up!

Setting New Nutritional Marketing Standards for Kids

The federal government is headed in exactly the right direction with the new draft nutritional standards proposed recently for foods that are specifically marketed to children. If adopted, the landscape of kids food advertising would shift dramatically in favor of foods that promote health, and away from foods that promote obesity and disease. If these standards are adopted, it would be one of the most significant developments in this area in over 30 years.

Food Marketers, and their self-regulatory body, the Children’s Food and Beverage Advertising Initiative, should adopt these standards on a voluntary basis. Rather than trying to weaken these standards, we hope that the industry sees these recommendations as a wake-up call, and soon phases out the discredited practice of marketing junk food to kids alltogether.

800,000 Doses of H1N1 Vaccination Have been Recalled

Health officials announced that they are recalling hundreds of thousands of doses of the swine flu vaccine after tests indicated they may not be potent enough to protect against the virus.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, GA notified doctors about the recall Tuesday. The recall involves about 800,000 doses made by Sanofi Pasteur. The doses are pre-filled syringes intended for young children, ages 6 months to 3 years.

Health officials recommend children of those ages get two doses, spaced about a month apart. Officials whom may have received doses of this particular vaccine are told to immediately send them back.

New MMA Fighter Phil Davis

The UFC signed a highly touted wrestling prospect out of Penn State University by the name of Phill Davis.  The Pennsylvania native is training at the Alliance Training Center in San Diego and the American Kickboxing Academy in San Jose, Calif.  Davis is 4-0 in MMA since turning pro in 2008 so he has a little experience in much smaller shows.  Only time will tell if Davis can handle big fights a stiff competition in the UFC or will he be another star wrestler turned bust MMA fighter like Jake Rosholt.  Hopefully the UFC brass will give him a few fights to help build his confidence in the octagon.
