If you feel bloated and sluggish all the time, then your diet is probably to blame. Bloating is usually caused when the food consumed is not digested properly which results in stomach gas. While digestion problems can be due to a variety of factors including food intolerance, some food items are generally harder to digest than others. By avoiding or reducing the consumption of such items, you can stop feeling bloated all the time and feel energized.
Foods that cause bloating
High fat food items are the biggest culprits when it comes to stomach bloating. Fried items, most dairy products including milk, most baked goods and desserts are all very high in their fat content and should be avoided if you want to feel less bloated. Carbonated fizzy drinks including diet sodas and beer as well as soft drinks can also cause bloating. In addition, while…

Rapid weight loss is not healthy, or so the experts say. There are ways to rapidly lose weight and we mean, rapid weight loss. Some will keep the weight off permanently, others may lead to a slow regaining of the lost weight so it is crucial you read this article in its entirety.
Fastest Way To Lose Big Numbers
The fastest way to lose big numbers, and we are talking 20% of your body mass, is to have a limb amputated.

It appears that there is no end to the confusion surrounding creatine, the latest one being is using creatine in womensafe? Follow us as we address this issue.
Don't be a Girl!
The first thing that needs to be clarified is this simple question; what would make creatine act different in a woman’s body compared to a man’s?, the answer is straight forward, nothing. Creatine has been proven to aid athletic performance by enhancing short burst energy output. Many women might be thinking at this time “ but I don’t want to lift heavy weights to look like a man”, well this belief is unfounded. Creatine in women has the same effect as it does in men. Many women are simply ignorant to the many beneficial effects this supplement may offer, and are sabotaging their hard work in the gym.

Have you had yours today?
Since the development of supplements in the 1950’s, no other has generated as much buzz as Creatine. Creatine is the single most researched supplement, and multiple times has proven itself effective and safe.
Creatine is composed of three amino acids, arginine, methionine and glycine, although not being an amino acid itself.
Creatine is found in the liver as well as skeletal muscle tissue, where its function is to provide phosphate to produce more ATP, helping promote intense activity (although only for a short time).
Our body is able to synthesize approximately 1 gram of Creatine daily, and on average another gram is obtained from the diet, although cooking generally breaks it down. Creatine, is however not suited for endurance training, since it is used for short burst training.

You can lose weight by sweating. In fact you could probably lost up to 60% of your body weight through fluid loss, although I doubt doing this by sweating would work. If it did, you would be a desiccated corpse, just like something a spider might fancy for lunch. Not what you had in mind for your beach body this summer, I’m sure.
Sweat Loss Can Be Good Or Bad
Good sweat loss is when you lose fluids by burning up fat and sweating to cool off. Bad sweat loss is when you simply sweat fluid because your body is being heated, by the sun or a sauna and you are not moving. If you generate the heat by burning fat to fuel the muscles to work and move you then a by-product is the fluid from the fat cells expunged from…

There is a term used in business, especially small to medium enterprises (SME) and very much by entrepreneurs and the self-employed and that is ‘sweat equity’. What it means its that you invest a lot of hard work into a business or project, just as much as you might invest money. Sweat equity includes your most precious resource, time, as well as your intellectual property such as ideas and your own personal stamp on things, or branding. It is no different losing weight and getting healthy.
Sweat Equity Can Be Literal
By that we mean that when it comes to losing weight, sweating might be a big part of the process. You can buy a weight loss supplement, such as a fat blocker like Phen 375 or African Mango, but supplements alone won’t do the job. You need to make major changes and actually…
