Adrienne Power (my best friend) sponsored by Rivalus products

Posted by admin at 6:33 pm

So my best friend and roommate from University is being sponsored by Rivalus Supplements. I got the following article from their website.

Adrienne Power is Canada’s fastest woman and is an internationally ranked track and field athlete. She has been a proud member of Team Canada since 2003 and has recently become an official member of Team RIVALUS, a handpicked group of elite athletes devoted to “clean competition”.

Adrienne first became interested in sports while watching the Olympics with her grandfather as a child. “I remember sitting with him and watching the Olympics. I would get chills hearing the Canadian National anthem and watching the Canadian athletes compete.” Adrienne found she was naturally gifted in most sports and credits this to being hardworking, fast, and naturally competitive. Her athletic ability did not go unnoticed – Adrienne was scouted to join the Dalhousie University track team where she trained hard and excelled at her sport.

Adrienne’s hard work and focus certainly paid off. Her long list of accomplishments include: Olympian, Canada’s Fastest Female, National Champion 200m, 4th All Time Fastest Canadian 200m, All Time Fastest Canadian 300m, 2005 Canadian University Female Athlete of the Year, Canadian University Record Holder 300m, National Champion & Undefeated in the 300m and Team Canada Member since 2003. Adrienne’s goal is to become an Olympic medalist at the 2012 Olympic Games. With a goal like that, Adrienne knows how important the proper nutrition and the right supplements are. “I compete with the best athletes in the world so I need to make sure my body is getting exactly what it needs to beat the best. RIVALUS products are always in my gym bag because they give me that extra edge and most importantly, they’re safe!”

Not only is Adrienne an outstanding athlete, she is also a leader in her community. She volunteers as a relay coach for Dalhousie University’s varsity team, she acts as a team leader in an athlete support role and she has given over 260 motivational speeches to schools, business groups, community groups and sport teams. Adrienne’s message is simple but powerful “work hard toward what you want, focus on each and everything that takes you closer to your goal. I guarantee you’ll get there”.

RIVALUS is continuously seeking genuine athletic talent and Adrienne Power certainly has it. Dr. Darren Burke, RIVALUS founder and CEO speaks very highly of Adrienne. “Adrienne is the perfect athlete for RIVALUS. She is not only dedicated to excelling in her sport, but she’s also dedicated to her community”.
RIVALUS proudly welcomes Adrienne Power and looks forward to a long lasting relationship with this truly outstanding athlete.

Alicia Bell’s 11 Rules to Avoid Hangovers

Posted by admin at 3:05 pm

The following is an article that will be published in the March Issue of Enfluenz Online Mens Magazine. Written by me

With the economy today we all have pretty busy work schedules. However to keep our sanity we still make time to go out and have fun. Most of the time we try and plan for weekend party time. Unfortunately sometimes we just can’t fit any days off. That’s when fun ends up being on a week night. We have all had those nights that last until 5am or 6am in the morning and have had to be up at 8:30am for an important meeting or to punch in on time at the office with a pounding headache, churning stomach, the room feeling like it’s spinning and smelling like a bottle of patron.

Well you should know that you’re not the only one that has ever gone to work with the hangover from hell, many people go to work with a hangover. As we all know going to work with a hangover is never a positive outcome and can reflect badly upon your professionalism. The following are 12 rules that you can follow to prevent hangovers so you can enjoy the next day after a wild night, rather than dreading it.

Rule #1

Take vitamins on a regular basis.

Alcohol depletes the body of important nutrients. So you are doing yourself a favor, especially if you are regularly taking Vitamin B and C. According to Wikipedia (2010) the depletion of Vitamin B in the human body can lead to hangovers. Vitamins are particularly good to take because some are antioxidants that rid the body of free radicals. Which are the little buggers that cause damage at a cellular level. Some work directly on he liver which will help you fight off that hangover.

Rule #2

Make sure to eat before heading out for a big night on the town.

When you stomach is full the alcohol that you consume won’t be absorbed as fast into your blood stream. Also sometimes when you drink on an empty stomach your body can’t handle it and wants to expell the toxins. Vomitting at the club is never a good look.

Rule #3

Try to avoid mixing different types of alcohols at all costs.

When you drink different types of alcohol at once such as liquor, wine, champagne and beer you are usually concocting a mixture of disaster. Some people have sensitive stomachs. So remember that each type of alcohol is made differently and sometimes your own body can’t handle all of that at once.

Rule #4

Try and avoid sweet drinks containing sugars or cocktails with a sweet juice base such as having too many red bull vodka, patron and pineapple, Rum and Cokes, Daiquiris, Margaritas or mojitos.

Sugar causes a spike in your insulin levels. You may feel great for a minute with lots of energy but your body will quickly crash. This is what is known as a high HIGH followed by a low LOW. This can cause the dreaded hangover so I suggest you stick to diet or sugar free mixes.

Rule #5

Keep your body hydrated during the day and while you are out at night.

I know we all hate running to the bathroom every five minutes but it is important to keep your body hydrated. Especially when you drink. H20 is the best thing one can take. Particularly PH water. I know when you’re out all you want to drink is alcohol but try and slip in a few glasses of water here and there it helps. Also try and down a glass or two before hitting the sheets when you get home. I guess Vodka waters kind of count in this department but don’t go overboard.

Rule #6

Eat Something before bed.

Just like rule #2 When you stomach is full the alcohol that you consume won’t be absorbed as fast into your blood stream. I find when you eat something before going to bed after a hard night of drinking it also helps. Something like a few soda crackers or a slice of bread to help absorb the alcohol helps.

Rule #7

Try to get a good sleep. 2hrs won’t cut it.

Sleep is when your body regenerates and recovers. Therefore the less sleep you get, the harder it is for you body to recover. A good amount is between 5 and 8 hours. Any less than that and you aren’t getting the proper sleep to help your body recover properly.

Rule #8

The next day, try to avoid caffeine.

A of caffeine will continue to dehydrate you, the opposite of what you want if you are trying to do to cure a hang over. So try and reach for some water instead of that regular cup of joe.

Rule #9

Take a Contrast Bath or a Shower.

Taking a shower always helps. Try switching between cold and hot water. This will help with sore muscles from a night of dancing and also help to wake you up. Plus it will help you not smell like the bar, the booze and the brauds that you encountered the night before.

Rule#10

Get some exercise.

Try doing some sort of physical activity. Try anything that will keep you sweating. It takes a bit of willpower to move like that when standing seems like a challenge, but trust me sweat it out and get the endorphins going and you’ll feel 1000x better.

Rule#11

Call in Sick to Work if non of the above remedies works.

No one wants to tarnish their reputation or professionalism at their place of work. So It is best to stay in bed. Tell them that you think that you have the flu. You will already be In rough shape and most likely sound horrible on the phone so they will believe you. Just make sure that none of them saw you at the bar, and that you didn’t do anything to make the news or tmz the next day.

GOOD LUCK and happy hangover free partying!

UFC Fighters food favorites and Suggestions

Posted by admin at 3:37 pm

Minotauro Nogueria
“Japanese food. It’s the best – it’s healthy, it’s light, and I love Japan.”

Cain Velasquez
“Anything Mexican: tacos from 8th street in Yuma AZ, BBQ sandwiches, machaca burritos. When we have people over we normally make carne asada, chicken tacos, guacamole, salsa and our famous Brown Pride sangria that knocks everyone on their asses.”

Wanderlei Silva
“Japanese food for sure. My specialty is a big piece of salmon that I pick up from the supermarket here. Man, it’s great and it’s great for my diet too. I love Japanese food.”

Michael Bisping
“Meatball or chicken Subway followed by cookies.”

Joe Stevenson
“I love fruit snacks because of my kids, but for a party, Canadian bacon and pineapple pizza!”

George Sotiropoulos
“Pizza, nachos covered in melted cheese with chunks of beef and chicken, steak and lobster, sushi. An oven-baked Turducken with baked vegetables and potatoes, covered in gravy. Right now anything sounds good because I have been dieting for months.”

Ryan Bader
“You have to have variety at a party, I like to taste everything; so some pizza, burgers with some Lipton soup mix mixed in, wings with ranch, an assortment of dips and you have a party. Have a couple good beers around, my favorites are Blue Moon and Hefeweizen. After a couple of those ill just move onto some Bud Light.”

Elvis Sinosic
“I think to get into the spirit of the event in Australia, it has to be a barbie. Or if you are living somewhere cold, get a sandwhich with BBQ sauce.”

Chris Haseman
“Nothing beats a big Aussie barbie for a UFC party down under. Plenty of fresh reef seafood and BIG Australian steak slapped on the BBQ and cooked to perfection! Most important thing on the menu…plenty of good mates to share an icy cold beer to wash it down.”

Brian Foster
“My favorite party food is hot wings; my favorite cocktails are Oklahoma Eyeopeners — vodka and Red Bull — and berrybombs.”

I found this on the UFC website. I love the food that some of these “elite athletes” eat. Some are good times, some are unhealthy and some are just plain entertaining.

ENJOY.

Determine Your Daily Caloric Needs

Posted by admin at 11:00 pm

This is a really easy 3 step program to determine your Daily Caloric Needs. It is called “THE HARRIS BENEDICT EQUATION.”

The formula calculates to determine basal energy requirements (to maintain current weight without exercise to survive). After completed then you can determine what you need to intake for WEIGHT LOSS.

STEP 1
Women:
655 + (4.35 X WEIGHT IN POUNDS) + (4.7 X HEIGHT IN INCHES) – (4.7 X AGE IN YEARS)

Men:
66 + (6.23 X WEIHT IN POUNDS) + (12.7 X HEIGHT IN INCHES) – (6.8 X AGE IN YEARS)

STEP 2

Now take your number from step 1 and multiply it by the level listed below:

Step 3
The number that you now have will tell you your calorie needs for weight maintenance.

FOR WEIGHT LOSS
- subtract 500 calories per day from your number in step 2
FOR WEIGHT MAINTENANCE
- Just use the number from Step 2
FOR WEIGHT GAIN
- add 250 to 300 calories per day from step number 2

ALSO WHEN TO EAT
- Meals should be had every few hours, for example.

1. Breakfast time
2. Mid Morning snack
3. Lunch time
4. Afternoon Snack
5. Dinner

My Health Tip Of The Day

Posted by admin at 10:36 am

No Carbs Before Bed

To slip into stage 3 or 4 sleep, you need to have a high level of ghrelin before bedtime.

Carbohydrates depress ghrelin faster than any other nutrient, so eating anything, especially carbs, before bed can delay your entry into stages 3 or 4 for several hours.

So what does this mean? Well if you don’t get enough restful sleep, you’re likely to be hungrier and then you will eat more. This is why research has shown that on average people who aren’t getting restful sleep tend to be heavier.

So to help you sleep well and deeply, let the hormones do their thing and don’t eat after 9 p.m. especially no carbs!
