When the weather outside drops in temperature, take some time to restore your energy. Don’t resist the urge to nestle into your snug, warm home, wrapped up in blankets comfortable and cozy. Here are 5 secrets that will help preserve your energy, bringing you health and tranquility not only in the winter months, but all year round.

The winter season is when nature sleeps, and everything experiences the slowing of natural processes, including our bodies. Humans stopped hibernating like their ancestral cousins long ago, but our bodies still experience the natural inclination to slow down during winter. The winter is a time to come back to quietness and rebuild your energy reserves for warm weather months when the hunt is back on!

 1. Bedtime comes earlier, wake with the sunrise


Try to go to sleep earlier and wait (if you can of course) to let the sun bathe the house before rising from bed. Get your zzz’s in — at least 8 hours of sleep every night. Try taking a 20- to 30-minute easy walk one hour before you go to bed to improve the quality of your sleep.

2. Be contented


Avoid experiencing excessive emotions in the winter because they drain your energy reserves. De-stress with relaxation tips, breathing methods or even yoga!

3. Be wise with your energy reserves


The three months of winter are when all living things should return home and be conserved. Engage in activities that are in harmony with the energies of winter. Avoid perspiring excessively; be active in a moderate way. Walking is a simple activity to keep your energy up.

4. Eat for the season

To keep your health and energy up in the cold months of winter, avoid cold and raw foods, reducing salt to protect your kidneys, and increasing bitter flavors (like kale, for instance.) So steer clear of raw vegetables, cold salads, and icy cold foods and beverages. Instead your diet should follow nature’s menu for the seasons. Hearty soups are good for you during the winter months. Drink only warm or hot water.

5. Avoid coldness and linger around warmth

Dress warmly, paying special attention to your middle section. The abdomen is considered the storehouse of the body’s energy reserves. Keeping your abdomen warm and protected from weather extremes has immense immunity benefits. A good way to replenish your energy bank is to regularly place a hot water bottle on your stomach.

If you choose to go against these winter rules, it is said that weakness and coldness in the extremities will leave your energy levels weakened in the spring.

Making Your Prohormones Last as Long as Possible

Dec 31, 2009

Anabolic Power Stack by Schwartz Labs

Prohormone Ban 01/04/2010

As most of us have heard the DEA has banned some very effective prohormone compounds as of January 4th 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.

New Nutritional Standards For Foods Marketed To Kids

Dec 24, 2009

New Proposed Federal Standards to be Reviewed For Foods Marketed To Kids Being Praised

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.

Man Jumps – Horrifying! Would Happy Pills Have Helped ?

Nov 16, 2009

The following clip is an example of what could happen when the stresses in life reach overload. Happy Pills offer a natural buffer to help. I tried happy pills for my weight lifting session on saturday. Wow. I really felt them. I had that feeling that I was hovering a little above myself (kinda floating) during the peak of the “happy time”. It went away pretty fast and I felt great the rest of the day.

High Protein Diet? Get Plenty of Fiber

Nov 5, 2009

If you have ever followed or are following a high protein diet, you know that it can cause stomach discomfort and/or digestive problems. A common mistake that many followers of the high protein lifestyle make, is not getting enough fiber.

Whether it’s obtained from fruits and vegetables or a supplement, fiber is essential to maintaining a healthy digestive system and keeping you regular.fiber foods

As an added bonus, eating sufficient fiber helps to provide a fuller, more satiated feeling from a meal. This means you eat less, so fiber can benefit your weight loss goals as well.

Fiber should not be an option in your diet. It is essential in maintaining a healthy internal environment.
