Want Big Muscle? Try Small Weights, Study Says
Significantly increasing lean muscle tissue is a combination of several disciplines and requires a high level of focus, effort, dedication, and knowledge.
The three primary factors that are required to promote serious gains in muscle density are regularly performing your strength training routine with a high level of effort, consuming well balanced protein rich foods day in and day out, and receiving plenty of sleep to allow your body to repair the muscle tissue that was damaged, torn, from the workout.
Further, when it comes to strength training, the conventional wisdom is that smaller amounts of weight should be used for toning and sculpting, while heavier weights are more appropriate for creating large gains in muscle mass, density and strength.
However, a new clinical study that was recently published concluded that regularly lifting lighter weights to increase your lean muscle tissue density, size, and mass can occur at the same rate as if you were consistently lifting heavier weights.

Want to Lose Weight? Don’t Forget Your Immune System
You’ve finally done it. You purchased a membership at a fitness center, you’re watching what you eat, you’re actually enjoying exercise routines, and you’re finally getting accustomed to your new healthy lifestyle. Even better, you’re starting to fit into that pair of jeans that have been collecting dust in the closet for years. And then you get sick.
Your weight loss progress is halted for two weeks as you recover from your illness as you battle with your immune system health, and you come out feeling less motivated than ever, returning to your old eating habits and dreading your next session on the elliptical. In order to avoid this all-too-common scenario, you need the think of immune system health as a crucial pillar of your weight loss program, just as important as sticking to your exercise routine and paying attention to your diet.

Children of Obese Mothers have Higher Asthma Risk
We have all heard the statistics associated with the increases in the number of individuals that are either overweight or obese. In addition, most individuals also understand that being obese increases their personal risk of developing a wide variety of diseases and health disorders, including several types of cancer, heart disease, stroke, hypertension, high cholesterol, osteoarthritis, diabetes and more.
However, many women may not realize that obesity during their pregnancy can also increase the probability of their children contracting a variety of diseases at a very young age as well – including asthma. In fact, a recent Swedish study indicates that obese mothers have a significantly higher likelihood of birthing a child that will develop asthma when compared to mothers that were of a normal body weight.

Study: High Vitamin Supplement Intake Increases Death Risk
It’s a commonly known fact that the United States is not only one of the most overweight nations in the world, but one of the most nutritionally undernourished as well.
Lacking the necessary vitamins and minerals in their regular daily dietary intake routine, many Americans have turned to taking vitamin supplements in order to ensure that they receive the nutrients that their bodies require to sustain various bodily functions, maintain energy levels and to ward off a variety of seasonal and chronic diseases.
However, a recent study indicates that high vitamin supplement intake, especially over a prolonged period of time, may possibly create more health problems than it alleviates, especially with vitamin supplement overdoses.
Overall, the study’s findings suggest that while vitamin and mineral supplements have their appropriate uses, the best way to receive proper nutrition and nourishment is still through regularly consuming highly nutritional, well balanced whole foods.

Want to Keep Your Hair? Start with Your Diet
Hair loss impinges upon the mental well-being of millions of individuals every year, lowering self-confidence in social situations and changing the physical appearance of those as young as teenagers. Contrary to popular belief, thinning hair isn’t just a problem for men – while 35 million American men are affected by hair loss, nearly 21 million American women are affected just the same. In fact, the American Hair Loss Association states that roughly 66% of the male population notice significant hair loss by age 35, while 85% experience the same by age 50.
Most people don’t even consider the health of their hair until they start losing it. However, new research shows that there are steps you can take – many of which are part of a hair loss diet – to help keep your hair and prevent thinning before it’s noticeable.
