Health Risks Of Obesity

Published by superadmin on June 15, 2021 | Leave a response

Obesity means that a person has a BMI—body mass index—of 30 or higher. To find your BMI, you need to know your height and weight to use the chart. Another way of measuring it is to measure the waistline. It’s called abdominal obesity. Women with a waistline of 35 or more and men with a waistline of 40 or larger are considered to be abdominally obese. Obesity can cause many changes in your body and create health issues. It can change your metabolism, hormones and increase inflammation. Just being obese doesn’t mean you’ll have all the health conditions listed, or any for that matter, but it does increase the probability.

The potential for heart disease and stroke increases when you’re obese.

Not only does obesity increase blood pressure by increasing extra pressure on artery walls to ensure it gets to all parts of the body, it also increases the effort your heart has to make to pump it through the extra fat tissue. That can cause damage to the heart. People who are obese have more LDL(bad cholesterol), triglycerides, blood sugar and cholesterol in the blood. That can cause fat deposits to accumulate in arteries to the heart and cause disease. Obesity can cause arteries to narrow from built up plaque, which can cause clotting, heart attack and stroke that can damage brain tissue and heart tissue.

The potential for type 2 diabetes can increase if you’re obese.

If your blood sugar levels are higher than normal, you’ll increase your potential for insulin resistance, the precursor of type 2 diabetes. While the body produces enough insulin, the cells don’t react as they should to it because of constantly higher amounts of blood glucose levels. It occurs due to overconsumption of food that puts stress on the ER—endoplasmic reticulum—the membranous network that occurs inside cells. That causes the ER to send out a signal to turn off the insulin receptors or dampen them down. That makes sugar levels higher, so more insulin is made, creating a vicious circle that ends in diabetes.

Obesity can cause a lot of pregnancy complications.

Whether it’s developing gestational diabetes, insulin resistance or high blood pressure, obesity causes many risks during pregnancy. It can cause pre-eclampsia, blood clots, premature birth, miscarriage and excessive bleeding after delivery. It may cause the need to do a C-section, result in a miscarriage, still birth or cause fetal defects of the brain and spinal cord. Women who became pregnant when they had a BMI of 40 or more had at least one of those complications.

Sleep apnea causes people to quit breathing for a short time when they sleep. Obese people are at a higher risk because the fat on their neck narrows the airway. That causes snoring and difficulty breathing when sleeping.
Obese people can develop a non-alcoholic liver disease called fatty liver disease. Fat builds up in the liver and damages it, causing scar tissue—cirrhosis. It has no symptoms, but can lead to liver failure.
You’re at a higher risk of developing gall stones if you’re obese. The gall bladder stores bile that goes to the small intestines for digestion. It aids in digesting fat. Obese individuals have higher cholesterol levels in their bile, or larger gallbladders that work inefficiently and can lead to painful gallstones.
The potential for some types of cancer increases in obese people. Those cancers include breast cancer, gallbladder, pancreatic, colon, kidney, cervix, uterus, endometrium, ovaries and prostate.

Best Moves For Better Posture

Published by superadmin on June 5, 2021 | Leave a response

At Thrive 24hr Fitness in Brookhaven, GA, we aim for the healthiest, fittest you possible. That means building strength, flexibility and endurance. All those things help you achieve better posture and better posture can lead to less pain and a healthier life. Your posture is how your body is aligned when you stand, sit or lay. It determines whether you’ll be tugging on muscles and causing strains or sprains when you lift or easily lifting objects without a problem. Good posture can help prevent fatigue, reduce backaches and prevent wear and tear of the joints.

Check out your posture in the mirror when you stand.

Your posture tells the world a lot about you. If you look in the mirror and see an image of defeat or misery that’s signaled by that slump in your posture, the rest of the world is seeing it too. Start by standing tall. Strengthening and building shoulders, back and chest muscles can help. Try a set of wall angels to help. Stand with your back and bottom against the wall, flattening your back. Stretch your arms up, palms facing out and squeeze your shoulder blades together, pull elbows down to shoulder height and then stretch back up again.

Identify the correct posture and try to maintain it.

If you’re unsure what correct standing posture looks and feels like, it’s tough to know if you have it. Use a wall to gauge your posture. Stand with your back to the wall. The back of your head, buttocks and shoulder blade should touch the wall. Your heels should be two to four inches away. You should be able to barely slide a flat hand behind the small of your back. If there’s too much space, pull your mid belly toward your spine to bring it closer to the wall. Arch your back if you can’t fit your hand there. Hold the position as you walk away from the wall.

Seated pelvic tilts can help improve sitting posture.

Use a sturdy straight back chair for this one. Sit on the edge, placing your hands on your thighs, while your feet are flat on the floor. Inhale as you tilt your pelvis and ribs forward, opening your chest as you look upward. Exhale while you tilt your hips backward and look downward at the floor. It’s a good exercise if you sit at the computer for long hours and not only helps posture, but can relieve back pain.

Walking posture includes standing erect and trying to push the top of your head toward the sky. Focus your eyes on a spot approximately20 feet ahead. Your chin should be parallel to the ground and shoulders back. Pull in your stomach, tuck in your bottom while rotating your hips slightly forward.
Sleeping posture is important. Don’t sleep on your stomach. If you sleep on your back, use a lumbar roll under your lower back. If you sleep on your side, put a pillow between your knees and keep them slightly bent.
Build your abdominal and other core muscles. Doing a plank can help improve them dramatically. If you have back issues, always tell your personal trainer, so he or she can modify your workout to address the issue.
If you’re sitting at the computer for long hours, get up and move around every 55 minutes. Don’t walk and watch or text on your cell phone, since it can result in text neck.

Physiological Responses To Sugar

Published by superadmin on May 25, 2021 | Leave a response

Whether your mouth waters when you see a sweet, delicous cupcake or you’re smiling when you munch on an apple, your brain and body react to sugar. While the sugar found in fresh fruit can be quite satisfying and even provide benefits, added sugar, like in sweet treats like cupcakes, donuts and cookies, have a negative effect. That’s because fresh fruit and natural foods contain fiber that slows the physiological responses to sugar in the body. The biggest problem is that almost all processed foods on the market seem to have added sugar.

Sugar impacts your health negatively.

A huge number of studies show that sugar negatively impacts the health, whether it’s in food or in drinks. For instance, one study from the University of California in San Francisco showed the effect of sugar at the cellular level. It can age the body at the cellular level, just as smoking does. It causes stress to all parts of the body and damages your health. Your insulin will spike and drop suddenly, which can cause you to crave even more sugar.

Is the brain hard-wired to crave sugar?

There are anthropological studies that indicate that we might be hard-wired to crave sugar. Sweet tasting plants were often the safe ones to eat when man foraged for food. Sugar also has an addictive quality. It gives you a rush of energy that makes you feel good. That’s because it activates the opiate receptors and releases dopamine and seratoning that makes you feel great. Like cocaine, it gives a mild feeling of euphoria an a rush, so you want even more.

Excess sugar can damage the body.

The more sugar you eat, the more insulin you produce. There comes a point when you develop insulin resistance, so it leaves added sugar in your blood stream, even though cells may be starved for the glucose—sugar—in the blood. The insulin tells the cells to open and intake the glucose they need to survive. If they don’t remove the sugar from the blood stream, it remains in the blood causing even more insulin to be produced. That causes insulin resistance and ultimately diabetes.

Extra sugar in the blood can clog small blood vessels that service the heart, eyes, kidneys and brain. It can cause blood pressure to increase and also lead to stroke. It can cause the liver to work to hard and become damaged.
A diet high in sugar often leads people to chronic exhaustion, as well as deprive the body of the nutrients it would get from a healthy diet.
Too much sugar can affect the aging process and your skin. Collagen and elastin are necessary for youthful skin, but glucose from high blood sugar levels attaches to them, so they can’t do skin repairs.
HFCS—high fructose corn syrup is a processed product that combines sugars. It can cause leptin resistance. That means no matter how much leptin—the hormone that tells you that you’re full—is sent to the body, you still won’t feel full.

Is A Mediterranean Diet Good For Me?

Published by superadmin on May 15, 2021 | Leave a response

If you asked what exactly is a Mediterranean diet, there’s a broad definition, which includes the foods traditionally eaten by people that live in countries that border the Mediterranean Sea. The diet is chock filled with whole foods like vegetables, fruits, beans, nuts, whole grains and olive oil. There’s no breaded and fried foods like you’d find at today’s fast food places. If eating a healthy diet is your goal, a Mediterranean diet could be the perfect choice.

The Mediterranean diet has other unifying components.

Eating plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, beans, nuts whole grains and healthy oils is always a good option and important to any diet. Red meat and dairy products are more limited in the Mediterranean diet. While some people find they have less congestion from limiting milk, it’s hard to take for others. Studies do show that cutting back on red meat is a healthy option.

A plant based diet has been touted as being healthier and the Mediterranean diet is more plant based.

Having a meatless Monday can be good for both your wallet and your health. The Mediterranean diet is created more around vegetables than meat. Even other animal products, like milk, eggs and poultry are more limited. There’s more seafood in the diet than red meat, but even that is more limited to twice a week. Fatty fish, which is high in Omega-3 fatty acids, are often used. Deep-fried fish isn’t part of the diet.

Healthy fat is an important part of the Mediterranean diet.

Rather than eating foods cooked in saturated or trans fats, the Mediterranean diet uses healthy fats. Olive oil is one of the primary oils. It’s a monounsaturated oil that helps lower LDL—the bad cholesterol levels. Nuts and seeds, which also contain the monounsaturated fats are also part of the Mediterranean diet. The diet also focuses on fatty fish, which has Omega-3 a polyunsaturated fat thats’ also healthy.

Part of the joy of following a Mediterranean diet is making a meal a social event to share with family and friends. A glass of wine with the meal is also good for health, as is the laugher and comradery.
Many of the herbs and spices that are used liberally in the Mediterranean diet also have additional nutrients, no calories and some health benefits. They reduce the need for salt.
Just like any healthy diet, increasing your servings of fruits and vegetables to seven to ten a day can be a very healthy change. Not only does it add more vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients, it adds fiber, which can keep your blood pressure lower and regulate blood sugar levels.
Whole grains are used for breads and pasta. Whole grains provide far more nutrients than white bread or products made from refined flour. Our nutritional program can help you find if a Mediterranean diet is right for you.

Should I Count Calories Or Carbs?

Published by superadmin on May 5, 2021 | Leave a response

Everyone wants to know the best way to shed those extra pounds. There are so many diets and ways of doing it but the two primary ones are to count calories or carbs. At Thrive 24hr Fitness in Brookhaven, GA, we know that there’s no simple answer or one-size-fits-all response. We focus more personalized nutritional programs. Counting calories and counting carbs are a lot alike. Higher carbohydrate foods like sugar, also have higher calories. However, a diet higher in fat and protein may be high in calories, but low in carbs. The key is that you’ll feel fuller faster and longer, so you won’t eat as much.

The keys are what you eat and how much you eat.

What you eat is probably the most important factor. If you ate a pound of frosted donuts, you’ll gain more weight than eating a pound of iceberg lettuce or a pound of celery. There are some advantages to counting calories and carbs, but not a big one. Oats, quinoa and bananas are high carb foods that are incredibly healthy. However, a diet that consists of just rice cakes and celery may be low in calories, but isn’t healthy either. Counting both makes you more aware of everything you mindlessly eat throughout the day, whether it’s a handful of candy at a coworkers desk or that last bite of potatoes left in the bowl.

Noting portion size is also important no matter which you count.

Learning what the portion size is for any food can also help you be more mindful of how much your consuming. Counting both calories and carbs also make you aware of the added calories in what you drink, which is often forgotten or dismissed, but plays a big role. Both tracking techniques help you become aware and learn more about your eating habits so you can change them.

It’s better to learn how to eat healthier rather than focusing on counting either.

Making smarter choices in food is what it’s all about if you want to get healthier. If you use a nutritional program that identifies portion size and can help you become more aware at foods that are healthy and nutritious or those that are empty calories, you’re bound to benefit, regardless of whether you count calories or carbs or even count at all.

Just slowing down how fast you eat and savoring every bite can be a big help in losing weight. It’s called mindful eating. It slows your consumption down so your stomach can message your brain that you’re full and helps you enjoy the food more.
Calorie counting, carb counting, mindful eating and learning to eat healthier are all retraining your brain to develop new habits to help you keep weight from returning.
Another benefit of tracking every morsel is that it helps you learn about when you’re hungry and when you’re not. If you have to write down every bite, you’ll be more inclined to only take that bite if you’re really hungry.
No matter which type of healthy eating you choose, it only works if you stick with it. Changing your eating habits to healthier eating is far easier to stick with than endless calorie and carb counting.

Are Morning Workouts More Effective?

Published by superadmin on April 25, 2021 | Leave a response

Some people put off starting a program of exercise, because they aren’t sure when the best time to do it is. Are morning workouts more effective or should you do them at the end of the day to burn off stress? The answer is simple. Do your workout when it’s best for you. Don’t waste time worrying about whether one time is better than another. There are benefits to every time of the day, but doing the workout is the most important issue. If you’re a night owl, a morning workout probably won’t be your best time, but for others, working out before bed might make it difficult to sleep.

Working out before you go to the office has some benefits, but so does after work or lunch.

The benefit of working out earlier in the morning is that you get it out of the way. No matter how cluttered your day becomes, it’s finished, so you don’t have to worry about it. You normally workout on an empty stomach in the morning, so you’ll be burning your stored fat for energy, training your body to burn fat more efficiently. If you’re trying to build muscles, it’s probably best to do after you’ve eaten some protein, so either do it later in the day or after a protein shake.

Are you trying to improve your endurance?

You need to do your training when you have adequate glycogen stores. If you’re training for a marathon and any endurance event, try to train in the late morning, afternoon or evening, when your glycogen stores are at their maximum. It happens several hours after you’ve eaten a full meal that contains carbohydrates. If you tend to skip breakfast, do the workout later in the day after you ate. You’ll get more from your workout if you don’t run out of steam in the middle of it.

Boosting your power and strength depends on your body temperature.

While we’re not advocating taking your temperature before working out, your body temperature does affect how powerful you are. During your sleep, your body temperature drops and the discs in your back fill with liquid. Once your body is functioning for a while, the fluid in the spine returns to normal and the body temperature rises. That’s the best time to do power lifting. Normalizing your body by being up for a while is important for power lifting, especially if you tend to have problems with your back.

Consistency is extremely important, no matter what time of day you choose. That’s why finding a specific time in your schedule and sticking with it is important. It helps working out become a habit.
There’s no “best time” for everyone. It’s based on your body and your needs. If your schedule is constantly changing, you probably should workout the first thing in the morning or you’ll miss workouts.
Not everyone gets insomnia from working out later. If you find it doesn’t bother your sleep and you like working out in the evening, by all means, do it. Eat something small after you workout for recovery.
Eating something light before a strenuous morning workout is important for supplementing depleted glycogen reserves.

How To Do A Leg Day At Home

Published by superadmin on April 15, 2021 | Leave a response

If you’re working out in the gym and focused on maximizing the benefits, only to have a bump in the road where you can’t make it into the gym for a few days, don’t worry. You can do leg day at home and stay on track for your goal. Working those larger muscles that are done on leg day means burning all those extra calories. It takes more energy for leg day, so ensuring you do it is important.

Do a bodyweight workout and start with squats.

Bodyweight squats can be done anywhere without any need for equipment. You’re using the weight of your body and gravity as the resistance. Bodyweigh squats target glutes, quads and muscles like that hamstrings that support the body. It starts with feet shoulder-width apart, feet turned outward. Shift your weight toward your heels, pushing your hips behind you as you lower your body until your thighs are almost parallel to the floor with knees directly above the toes. Push through the heels to raise yourself, keeping core muscles tight.

There are a variety of lunges to add and they all have benefits.

Lunges can improve your functional fitness, give you better balance and increase hip flexibility. They aid in glute activation, create core stability and more. While there are a variety of different ways to do lunges, they’re all based on positioning one leg forward with the knee bent, feet flat on the floor and placing the other foot on the floor behind you with the knees and toes touching the floor. Alternate jump lunges, regular lunges and reverse lunges are just a few good ones to add.

A glute bridge can bring benefits for the core and leg muscles.

A glute bridge starts laying on your back on the floor with knees bent and feet flat on the floor, hip-width apart. Contract your stomach muscles, flattening your back to the floor, then hold that as you exhale pushing your hips upward, contracting your glutes. Lower that position slowly back to starting position, inhaling as you do. You can make it tougher by raising one leg and extending it as you lift.

Start in plank position to do a mountain climber for the legs. Once in position, alternate bringing one knee to your chest at a time, as though you’re walking. Do it until you can set your pace to a run.
A Belgium split squat has one leg resting on a table behind you and then a squat is performed. It’s basically a one legged squat with support from the back leg. Use a coffee table or chair to rest the back foot.
Do a single leg deadlift as part of your workout. Stand on one leg and lean forward, extending the opposite leg directly behind you until your body is parallel to the floor. Return to starting position.
Skipping, jumping rope, walking fast and riding a bike can also help improve your leg muscles if you want a change of pace.

Tips To Break A Plateau

Published by superadmin on April 5, 2021 | Leave a response

One reason clients come to Thrive 24hr Fitness in Brookhaven, GA, is because they’ve hit a plateau. They’ve tried to shed those last few pounds for quite a while and see no results. It’s tough to break a plateau and can mean you need to change either your eating pattern or workout. Why do plateaus occur? Some plateaus are short lived and may last a week or two. They aren’t signals that you need to make changes, but often that you’re building muscle tissue. Muscle tissue weighs more per cubic inch than fat. Someone with a lot of muscle tissue will look thinner than a person weighing the same with more fat tissue than muscles. Taking measurements can be the real proof of progress in this case. If your measurements are smaller, you’re on the right track.

Plateauing can come from not changing your routine.

If you’re working with a personal trainer, you probably wonder why he or she changes your workout so often. It’s to ensure you work all muscle groups, but also to ensure you don’t hit a plateau. The body is amazing and will become efficient at a movement when you’re doing the same workout repeatedly. That efficiency means you’ll burn fewer calories. Switch your workout frequently, rather than sticking with one for months or years.

You need to adjust your caloric intake for your new weight.

If you’re walking around with twenty extra pounds, it’s like walking around with weights all the time. Of course, you’ll burn more calories than you would without those weights. When you lose weight, you’re not burning as many calories 24 hours a day because you weigh less. It’s often why losing those last few pounds are harder, since you’re not burning as many calories.

Strength training should be top priority, but you also need flexibility and endurance training.

Strength training can set your calorie burning on fire by building more muscle tissue. The more muscle tissue you have, the more calories you burn, since muscle tissue requires more calories to maintain than fat tissue does. However, you need all types of training to stay healthy. Endurance training can give you the extra oomph to get through the tough workouts and flexibility training can protect you from muscle injury.

Try a simple trick to help you overcome a plateau. Drink more water. Water flushes your system, curbs your appetite, acts like a diuretic and fills you up. Drinking a glass of water a few minutes before eating will help you eat less.
Maybe your sleep habits are getting in the way of weight loss. If you get too little sleep, it causes an overproduction of the hunger hormone, ghrelin and minimizes the production of leptin, which makes you feel full.
Could you be eating food without realizing it when you calculate calories. Maybe it’s just licking a spoon or grabbing a few M&Ms as you pass the candy dish. Keep a food diary and record everything you eat.
Make sure you have a well balanced diet with adequate protein and healthy fat. Both protein and fat are important for weight loss and make you feel fuller. Protein also is important for building muscle tissue.

Benefits Of Strength Training As You Age

Published by superadmin on March 25, 2021 | Leave a response

If you’re reaching middle age, you may have noticed that you aren’t as powerful as you were ten years ago and chalk it up to age. While age has something to do with loss of muscle and strength, it doesn’t have to be that way. At Thrive 24HR Fitness in Brookhaven, GA, we focus on strength training as you age, plus include balance, flexibility and endurance training. One study shows that with the right strength training throughout life, a man who is 70 will have the same muscle mass as a man who is in his twenties. Don’t feel bad if the heaviest thing you’ve lifted recently is a remote. It’s never too late to start.

You’d have to work really hard to build muscle tissue if you’ve never worked out previously.

It’s not as easy or as likely you’ll build huge rippling muscles if you’re older and if you do, it simply won’t look the same if your skin isn’t as elastic as it used to be. However, you’ll still look better than if you didn’t work out and have more strength. That can help prevent injury and keep you living independently longer. Strength training improves the quality of life and that’s what is important.

Osteoporosis can occur if you let muscles atrophy.

While taking calcium and drugs for osteoporosis may help, one study shows that strength training can combat it just as well as some medications. In fact, it may even help reverse the process, according to some studies. Unlike medication, the only side effects of strength training for the average person is looking and feeling better. Of course, before you begin any program of exercise always consult your physician and let your personal trainer know any limitations. Exercising should be a prescription for every senior.

Every type of movement is easier when you build strength, even walking.

If your stride is longer and your gate speed faster, it can tell a lot about your overall health. In fact, studies now suggest that in seniors, gait speed may be an indicator of functional fitness and overall health. It makes sense that if your muscles are weaker, you’d walk slower and more carefully. High intensity resistance exercises are ways to boost your walking speed and overall health. You could improve your endurance, strength and longevity, while avoiding many of the problems faced by seniors.

Upper body strength is important, but so is lower body strength. Strength training isn’t all about how much weight you can lift, but total body strength.
You don’t need weights to build muscles and work on strength training. You can use inexpensive resistance bands or simply focus on lifting everything from food cans to milk or detergent jugs filled with water.
You’ll find you can walk faster the fitter you get and the more you build lower body strength. That’s because lower body strength helps with balance and can deter many falls.
If you want to look and feel younger, a program of exercise that includes strength training can help you do it. It won’t completely turn back the hands of time, but it will make you look and feel years younger.

Best Quick Workouts On The Go

Published by superadmin on March 15, 2021 | Leave a response

The biggest excuse for not exercising is the “no time” excuse. While it might seem legitimate, especially for someone with a jam packed schedule, there are ways to fit exercise into your schedule and quick workouts on the go. Most people don’t realize that you don’t have to do thirty-minutes of workout a day in one session. It can be broken down to as little as three ten-minute sessions. Just doing ten minutes in the morning when you first get up, adding another ten minutes at noon and finishing your last ten-minutes when you get home can round out your daily workout schedule.

Work out smarter and spend less time.

Everyone would agree that saving time is important in today’s busy world. That’s why HIIT—high intensity interval training can be a real benefit. What is HIIT training? It’s a way of doing any type of workout routine. It involves moving at maximum and intensity for a few minutes, followed by doing your workout at a recovery pace for equal or longer time and then back to high intensity. You volley between these two as you workout and it not only cuts workout time in half, you get more improvement in health. One study showed that sprinting one minute followed by nine minutes of recovery demonstrated the same amount of improvement as someone who kept a moderate pace for fifty-minutes.

Try a group of quick exercises several times a day.

Nitric oxide is a compound that is made in the body, which helps stimulate the creation of human growth hormone and causes blood vessels to widen, lowering blood pressure. It also increases the release of insulin. You can boost your nitric oxide by doing four quick exercises. They’re combined to be done in four minutes. Do ten repetitions of each and three sets of the combination that includes deep squats, tin soldier, snow angel and military press. It’s called the nitric oxide dump and was created by Dr. Zachary Bush.

Use your regular activities as a workout.

Have you ever thought of a non-exercise workout? It sounds confusing, but it shouldn’t. Exercise mimics actual movements to help build strength, but are more defined and intense. If you go for a walk, walk faster, climb stairs as rapidly as you can. Make the neighbors envious at how fast you do yard work or wash your windows with vigor. You can even turn chores into a HIIT workout by varying your speed. Getting housework and chores completed can be as effective as any type of workout when you put some muscle into it and move as fast as you can.

Make time by starting your workout earlier Not only will you be able to get your workout out of the way, you also won’t have to worry about being interrupted or having to deal with small emergencies.
There are some exercises you can do anywhere, such as squat jumps, side-to-side jumps, planks, lunges and calf raises. Have a list of them with you and do them when you get five to ten minutes throughout the day.
Do exercises you enjoy. If you hate running, why do it? Nobody says you have to run. Get your aerobic workout from dancing or bike riding instead. Focus on variety and try everything from yoga to weight lifting to find a workout to use as a reward.
Do something, whether it’s parking further from the store, taking the stairs and not the elevator or turning your social group after work into a workout group at the gym.
