Low levels of potassium could put you at an increased risk of stroke. Men who lack the mineral have more than double the chance of dying from a stroke, while this deficiency can raise those stakes fivefold for women.

Research has shown that getting regular doses of potassium and calcium is beneficial for most people with hypertension.

Consuming too little potassium can raise your blood pressure and your risk of stroke. A 12–year study determined that men who consumed low amounts of potassium were 2.6 times more likely to die from stroke than men who consumed moderate to high amounts of it. The results were even more sobering for women. Women with the lowest potassium intake had a nearly fivefold increase in risk. In other studies, researchers induced a rise in blood pressure in both normal and hypertensive people simply by restricting potassium.

Increasing dietary potassium may allow some people to reduce the dose of their blood pressure medication. In a study in Italy, 27 people with hypertension increased their potassium intake while another 27 followed their usual diets. After one year, 81 percent of people on the high-potassium diet were able to cut their medications by more than half, while only 29 percent of the people who followed their usual diets could cut back that far.

Before increasing your intake of potassium, check with your doctor. Some people — for example, those with kidney disease — may need to avoid both potassium and salt.

While risk factors, age and family history play a role in a man’s health, there are things that can be done — and habits that should be avoided — to prevent problems down the road. Here are the  preventive health guidelines for men:

• Eat healthy foods. Maintain a diet that’s low in fat and salt, and rich in fruits and vegetables.
• Consume only moderate amounts of alcohol and caffeine, and don’t smoke.
• Have regular dental and vision checkups.
• Get regular exercise for 30 minutes to 40 minutes, three to five days per week.
• Protect your skin with sunscreen any time you are outside.
• Guard against hearing loss by wearing ear protection when exposed to loud noise.
• Take safety precautions whenever you can: wear a seatbelt, practice safe sex, and wear protective gear when playing sports.

4. Paste it into a new blog post in “Compose” mode so all the links are preserved.
5. Add your blog’s URL to the end of the list. If you intend to submit multiple blogs then put this list on all your blogs please to be fair to everyone else.
6. Post everything using the title “TechnoFav Train”
7. Next contact 5 friends who aren’t on the list and get them to join. The more the better. I am aiming at 1,000 group members, but I’m confident we can find more than that.

Causes
Cells are the building blocks of living things. Cancer grows out of normal cells in the body. Normal cells multiply when the body needs them, and die when the body doesn’t. Cancer appears to occur when the growth of cells in the body is out of control and cells divide too rapidly. It can also occur when cells “forget” how to die.

There are many different kinds of cancers. Cancer can develop in almost any organ or tissue, such as the lung, colon, breast, skin, bones, or nerve tissue.

There are multiple causes of cancers, including:

• Radiation
• Sunlight
• Tobacco
• Certain viruses
• Benzene
• Certain poisonous mushrooms and aflatoxins (a poison produced by organisms that can grow on peanut plants)

However, the cause of many cancers remains unknown. The most common cause of cancer-related death is lung cancer. Read the rest of this entry »

With beach season in full swing, you’re probably looking for ways to make the time you spend in the gym more productive in order to get a killer upper body that will garner a second glance from the hot girl tanning a few feet away.

To do so, you have to tone up that body of yours and build some muscle mass in key regions of your body.

Muscle groups
The major muscle groups you should focus on are, in order of importance, your abs, chest, biceps, triceps, back, and shoulders. These are all the important muscles in your upper body and the ones that get noticed most.

By performing a full upper body workout up to 3 times a week, you will be sure to hit each muscle frequently enough to see some fast changes, but still allow enough time between sessions for recovery. Also, since you will also be working your triceps and biceps during some chest and back exercises, you will indirectly be stimulating more than one muscle group in a single exercise.

Through time, a vast number of bodybuilding statements have come and gone. Some of them are true, while others are far from it. Unfortunately, all it takes is one well-muscled guy to start spreading the word to bodybuilder beginners before it becomes “the new way.”

Below are some common myths and truths that seem to have passed the test of time. If you haven’t heard of them before, it’s time to take note so that you can integrate the positive ones into your workout and avoid letting the negative myths hurt you. Read the rest of this entry »

While a common workout goal of many men is to develop a muscular body, leanness plays a large part in the equation. Simply put: If you aren’t lean, you won’t see muscle definition. Most would rather err on the smaller side and have good muscle definition than work on getting “huge.” This preference leaves men questioning which approach is best: building muscle mass first and then working on becoming lean, or vice versa.

Since building muscle mass requires a hypercaloric state and losing body fat requires a hypocaloric state, it’s unlikely you’ll accomplish both processes at once. To see results you’ll need to pick the right type of training cycle.

Here are some things to consider when building muscle mass and picking the appropriate training cycle. Read the rest of this entry »

Definition of a Hardgainer
The popular definition of a hardgainer is a person that works out hard with weights but has a hard time putting on muscle. Six weeks of working out can go by and no significant changes in muscle size are noted other than perhaps a bit of an increase in muscle tone.

According to this popular definition of a hardgainer, all of us are “hardgainers” because for the most part, putting on muscle is not an easy endeavor. The easiest period to gain muscle is during puberty. After that, gaining muscle becomes progressively harder as we age due to the fact that hormonal production starts declining between the ages of 25 and 30. Read the rest of this entry »

Myth 1: You can get a six-pack if you do a thousand crunches a day
The one thing every guy wants from his workout is a nice defined six-pack. Guys will do crunch upon crunch in their quest for perfect abs, but the reality is that if they have a layer of fat covering their muscles, definition will never come.

Their time would be much better spent doing some quality cardio sessions and making sure they are eating well, which would help them lose body fat — the key to unveiling remarkable abs. Read the rest of this entry »

Here are so many different diet and fitness programs out there today that it’s hard to know what will give you noticeable results and what will leave you wishing you had spent all those hours in the gym doing something more productive.

There are many knowledgeable people out there who can offer you some great advice on how to achieve your goals, but you also need to be aware of some of the major myths that exist in the bodybuilding and fitness world, such as the ever-popular “carbs are evil” untruth. Over time, though, this myth is being corrected; people are starting to learn not to leave out this vital nutrient and are working it back into their diets.

So make sure you are not falling for the following common myths, or you will likely see your progression begin to slow and could even set yourself up for injury. Read the rest of this entry »

While there are a few men out there who just look at a weight and put on muscle, for most men, gaining muscle mass means working hard. Whether genetics have been working against you since birth or you simply don’t have the anabolic environment in your body naturally, if you have trouble putting on muscle, you could be one of those who have to work hard. This means there are some key things you need to do differently in your program.

A hardgainer can be defined as a man who has difficulty putting on muscle mass despite consistent workouts in the gym and consumption of vast amounts of food. It is not uncommon to see some of these individuals eating upwards of 5,000 calories per day to simply maintain the mass they have, let alone add new muscle tissue. For the average guy, consuming 5,000 calories per day would be a short track to a rather robust stomach.

The major issue here is likely a very fast metabolism; one that, when fed more, just speeds right up. Along with the increased intake, burning off the extra calories as heat or through additional movements also means that large amounts of food will have little or no effect on this individual’s weight and size. If you ever notice a guy who just can’t seem to sit still, he is likely the type who would be a hardgainer at the gym. Read the rest of this entry »

If you’ve been doing cardiovascular training to burn fat, you may have heard various theories regarding the best fat-burning techniques, such as doing cardio at low intensity instead of at high intensity or doing cardio on an empty stomach.

Different fitness professionals have different beliefs, and all the conflicting information out there can lead to misconceptions. Thus, I will attempt to provide some solutions for common mistakes and presumptions about cardio and fat burning.

While none of these theories are set in stone, you will come away with a clearer understanding of how different types of cardiovascular training affect fat burning.

1. Thinking long cardio workouts at low intensity are best
Since your heart rate is not high enough, your body doesn’t really get a workout from it.
Solution: Slow/fast workouts (interval training), where you sprint for one minute and then walk for two are best for burning fat. Simply put, a higher heart rate burns more calories. For example, you burn 100 calories in 20 minutes of low-intensity work compared to 160 calories in 10 minutes of high intensity, and you also burn more total fat in less time during a high-intensity workout.
Like anaerobic weight training (training intensity where you are burning fuel without oxygen), combining high-intensity sprints (anaerobic) for 1 minute with walking (aerobic training intensity where you are burning fuel with oxygen) for 2 minutes also boosts your metabolism long after the workout, so you’re still burning fat and calories hours after you’ve left the gym.

With work and the general chaos of everyday life getting in the way, many men have a limited amount of time available for exercising and taking care of their bodies. Enter the easy 3-day workout routine.

Since this is only a 3-day workout routine, you can’t include each body part and sufficient cardiovascular training in such a short amount of time. The trick to getting a complete workout is to be efficient; so follow this easy 3-day workout routine and you’ll be performing a complete body workout in just a few days.

easy routine

Usually, training programs are designed to be completed within a 7-day cycle — meaning one day of working out per day of the week. One of the benefits of this easy 3-day workout routine is that it can be scheduled on any given day of the week depending on your availability and the days you feel like going to the gym.

Even though you can choose which days to go to the gym, it is recommended to leave at least one day of rest between each workout. Read the rest of this entry »
