Turbulence Training - Ever heard of it?

There is a new thing causing a bit of a stir among us health freaks called Turbulence Training, that claim all those old boring so called experts and doctors are dead wrong. You should NOT do hours and hours of running, pedaling and stepping... or whatever you're told by them to do.

Recently, several new studies have revealed that long, slow and boring cardio workouts actually SABOTAGE your natural ability to burn ugly belly fat. Instead you should do it all relatively fast and in one go... Sounds like a good business plan to me, 80% of your results come from 20% of your efforts - so why do endless amounts of cardio and redundant strength training exercises?

In fact, research shows that all those different treadmills, elliptical machines and stairmasters can actually train your body to STORE fat instead of burning it. Other studies again show that cardio not only makes you fatter, it also ages you faster.

In a study published in the Journal of Sports Medicine and Physical Fitness (Vol. 52(3):255-62), sixty overweight young women were separated in 3 groups. The Turbulence Training group achieved significantly “better results than those in the cardio group.” And they did it in less time and lost 9 times more fat per calorie than the long, slow and boring cardio group!

This actually makes a lot of sense to me, I have often wondered why all those people spend all of their free time in workouts and gyms. Heck, a few I know even go there on their lunch break!

Major study finds anti-depressants work...

Scientists say they finally have settled one of medicine's biggest debates, after a huge study found that anti-depressants work. A study, published in the Lancet , which analysed data from 522 trials involving 116,477 people, found 21 common anti-depressants were all more effective at reducing symptoms of acute depression than dummy pills. This is big news. Many people, myself included, have been convinced that in many cases those pills are only placebo. I am very happy to have been wrong on this one, because major depressive disorder is one of the most common, burdensome, and costly psychiatric disorders worldwide in adults According to lead researcher Dr Andrea Cipriani, from the University of Oxford, the most commonly prescribed anti-depressants work for moderate to severe depression. And that is very good news for many patients. “ End Your Depression ” is a complete source of information that will guide you through the different types and causes of depression and give ...

Coffee can reduce your risk of early death

Yes, one minute you die from it the next is it healthy. We all know how this goes, it all depend on who do the study, and why, it seem. However, a new study made by European Society of Cardiology and involving close to 20,000 individuals, and published late last year, people who consumed at least four cups of coffee daily had a 64% lower risk of early death compared to those never or rarely consumed coffee. Coffee has also been shown to reduce the risk of many diseases, including type 2 diabetes, liver disease, colorectal cancer, Alzheimer's and skin cancer, too. Coffee is loaded with antioxidants, many are naturally occurring antioxidants found in the coffee bean, while others are created during the roasting process. It's these compounds that science links with positive effects in reducing the risk of several diseases. So, there we go. Think it's time for a good cup of Java!

Drinking red wine gets better and better...

Many are the studies showing different health benefits of red wine. Alex Therrien over at BBC use a nice headline today: " Red wine compound 'could help tooth decay and gum disease fight '". How lovely and wonderful isn't this nectar of gods, it cures everything from diabetes to bad teeth depending on what researchers you believe. Well, this time, according to a study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry , scientists looked into whether wine polyphenols might also be good for oral health. And sure enough it is. And jumping over all the cellular and microbiota talk, you can head over to the original article if you want to glance at those, they the findings said could ultimately lead to new dental treatments. I admit I rather have a glass of red wine than a visit at the dentist. These polyphenols, however, are also found in coffee, green- black- and red tea, lemon juice, blueberries... Well, in a lot of different stuff. Don't...
