Water is important

Monday, August 1st, 2011

Water is the most essential of all nutrients in a moderate heat. The elimination of water intake causes the death of an individual, on average, within 48 hours.
The water supply originates: from drinks (one.5 liters per day) from food (one liter per day), water, or metabolic synthesis. The oxidation of one g of carbs (carbohydrates) produce 0.6 ml of water, one g protein, 0.4 ml of water, a g of lipids (fats), one.07 ml. Indicates an average in 120 ml of water, the water intake of 1000 calories metabolized.
Body Composition: The amount of water in an adult body weight of 70 kg is 42 kg, 60% of the total weight. divided as follows in kg of water: three plasma, interstitial 8.5 (important for all athletes participating in bodybuilding competitions. & ‘possible to promote the “passage” temporary intravascular interstitial water, a technique that tends to unbalance the electrolyte balance. Specialists recommend three to 6 liters of water a day Fiuggi, for days before the competition, coupled with the overcompensation of glucose / glycogen), the supporting tissues of 7.5, 19 exstracellulare, intracellular 23. Total 42 kg.
The amount of water in the body weight is affected by cell mass, which is hydrated to 72%. The amount of water is greater the longer the person has a nice muscle mass & decreases it at higher lipid weight. fat is only 10% hydrated. These information ought to be an indication of interest to all body builders who mistakenly do not drink water & do not adequately hydrate in the hours before the competition. & ‘a practice risky & counterproductive. Because of increased fat mass & a lower muscle mass, females have a lower capital water than men, females in the water is on average 50% of body weight.
Water content of some foods: Fruit: avocado, bananas, olives, 75% – 80% Apricot – 90% lemon & melon. Meat, average 60%. Dairy products & eggs: cow’s milk 87% – 75% egg – cheese (average) 40% – 15% butter. Other foods: bread 35% – 33% jam – rusks 6% – Chocolate 2% – 0% oil.
The elimination of water with feces is 100 ml per day (except diarrhea). In the coursework of diarrhea, the water content in the faeces can reach 95% & water losses can reach several liters. The loss of water due to temperature regulation may amount to several liters in 24 hours. The transition from liquid to gaseous state consumes 0.58 calories per gram, whether it takes place by skin sweat (sweat), which through the lungs (breathing). Sweating has a radiofrequency variable depending on the sweat evaporates on the skin or is removed as a liquid. The amount of urine is the most variable part of the loss of water, dependent on the function of antidiuretic hormone.
Need water: In an atmosphere of twenty °, 50% saturated with water vaprio, the demand for water is an average of two liters per day. Increases if the person has fever, if it carries a heavy work, physical activities, if practical, if it is a dynamic, in case you train regularly at the gym, if the outside temperature is high (summer) & if the air is drier . In the desert after about 6 hours of dehydration, death occurs.

Physiology of nutrition: lipids

Sunday, July 31st, 2011

Often known as “fat” in the diet are a concentrated type of energy, as well as in the body are a appropriate type of energy storage.

The activities that I recommend are: slow jogging & uphill jogging. (F.C. 220 – Age x 65/75%). The dietary lipids are composed chiefly of triglycerides, fatty acids + glycerol.

Lipids are present chiefly in the subcutaneous adipose tissue & from where they are more basically mobilized & transported in the blood as free fatty acids & used. Can be demolished only aerobically, this implies a greater production of energy but over an extended time (aerobic metabolism or lipid has the characteristic of the potential for countless life time, while the% of maximal intensity of motor activity seen as the choice shall not exceed 20%).

All but of fatty acids: linoleic acid, can be synthesized from other fatty acids or other non-lipid precursors, chiefly from carbohydrates.

Linoleic acid, which must be fornicates with the diet, it is essential to maintaining the state of health because it enters in the composition of cell membranes & substances for hormone action.

To meet this need the recommended amount of linoleic acid is about 1% of total calories (two / four tablespoons of olive oil every day). Huge mistake is to remove the olive oil from your diet.

Bodybuilding nutrition and balance

Monday, July 25th, 2011

Many inexperienced (sometimes even experienced!) Gym regulars believe that muscles grow while lifting weights. But lifting weights is only a small part of the process of building muscle. muscle development takes place at night during deep sleep in which the body synthesizes new cells with nutrients from our diet. Thus power is a very important part of a bodybuilding program.

The body uses nutrients in food to perform daily metabolic and what is commonly referred to as the “wear and tear process.” With bodybuilding, additional strain is put on the body to make new muscle tissue. Therefore, the nutrient requirements also shoots up to stay with the demand.

The best bodybuilding nutrition comes from a balanced intake of carbohydrates, adequate protein, vitamins, minerals, fat and large amounts of water. So if you are serious about getting lean and ripped it’s time to say goodbye to mayo burgers, colas and other synthetic foods. Adopt absorbing dietary fruits, whole grains, milk, eggs and fresh farm products.

How much protein do you need?

Your muscles need amino acids to create new growing tissues. The amino acids provided by protein in the diet. There are a lot of debate about the exact amount of protein needed in bodybuilding. The caution to maintain is that extreme amounts of protein in the diet can cause gastric and renal complications. Recent studies have suggested that a protein intake of 1 to 1.4. This Means That the protein requirement of a 70 kg individual would be around 70 to 98 grams. To give an estimate of the amount involved consideration aguenti: 100 gm chicken breast has 22 grams protein, 8 grams a glass of milk, one egg and about 5 grams a slice of bread 3 grgrammi. This means that the protein requirement of a 70 kg individual would be around 70 to 98 grams. To give an estimate of the amount involved consider the following: A 100 gm chicken breast has 22 grams protein, 8 grams a glass of milk, one egg and about 5 grams a slice of bread 3 grgrammi

A word of caution against the tide of bodybuilding supplements in the market. Many times you will come across advertisements proclaiming, ‘Gain 20 pounds of muscle in 3 months flat!’. Stay clear of these money hungry advertisers. Building lean muscle takes time and effort. Making use of synthetic products that alter the body’s natural mechanism would be compensated for what should be your true purpose in bodybuilding, which is to keep the body fit and healthy.

Finally in bodybuilding is not, ‘the more the better’. Rather it is ‘the more precise the better’. No more exercise, eat balanced food and include plenty of rest. With everything good in life, patience, commitment, and balance will ensure your success. With these tips in mind everything is ready to pump iron!

Bodybuilders NUTRITION

Thursday, July 7th, 2011

Nutritional significance of the body builder is just as important as the workout. Optimized quality and quantity of food and achieve good results and achieved as much as possible the new muscle mass as possible with a small amount of added fat on the body. Body builders tend to be either a period or during the diet. This means that the increase in muscle mass during the diet period and try to reduce the period, the accumulated body fat. During the mass the body’s energy balance will be kept as a positive while on a diet it must be negative. The body is always either anabolic (tissue constructive) or catabolic (tissue dismantle) mode. A bodybuilder will get her body anabolic state as much meat and constructive to the catabolic state as saving a lot of meat.
Proteins from the energy content (4 kcal / g)

Proteins are the fats in addition to the major macronutrients, without which a man can not survive. Proteins are the building blocks of muscles, and they consist of aminohappomolekyyleistä. Sports, and especially the body’s hobbies include building the human need for protein is greater (about 2 g / kg body weight), as physically Inactive people (0.8 g / kg body weight). In addition to the amount of protein, the body builder should pay attention to the quality of the protein. Animal origin of the protein is a suitable muscle building material than the plant kingdom come.

Body building well-functioning protein sources include meat, fish, chicken, eggs and dairy products. Plant proteins in the body is probably the highest quality soy protein. Protein produced by a variety of sources. Whey protein is popular in recovery, because it is absorbed quickly, especially isolaattimuodossaan. Konsentraattimuoto whey is absorbed more slowly. Välipalaproteiinina while the best is milk protein, which is the rate of absorption for several hours. The body may be uniformly available to the protein. Soy protein is the absorption rate between the two, and often it is used in mixed drinks, a snack of milk protein. Eggs are a protein powder but it is priced more expensive than the others.
Carbohydrates (energy content of 4 kcal / g)

Carbohydrate is the body with the easiest and quickest source of energy. Maybe the other hand, the authorities view, carbohydrate is the body with vital macronutrient. Yes man comes along without it. Bodybuilders, however, it is an important part of the diet, because it put the pancreas to produce insulin, a hormone, which is a highly anabolic effect on the body. Without insulin to increase muscle mass is very difficult. When the body is insulin, it knows that it is time to store and then stored in the body, whether it is fat, carbohydrate or protein. If the blood does not have hardly any protein available, storage is only fattening, mainly because of the effect of muscle mass is not built at the same time, when the body would otherwise be stored state. Carbohydrates can be stored glykogeenimuodossa muscles and liver. This form of carbohydrate is the body’s use quickly, for example in heavy physical exertion.

Carbohydrates often comes up when talking about the term glycemic index. It describes a variety of food substances in blood glucose nostamiskykyä. According to a standard, pure glucose is the glycemic index of one hundred (100). All carbohydrate is broken down into glucose in the body, so this quickly absorbed carbohydrate is not. The lower the glycemic index of food material, the slower it will raise your blood sugar. Bodybuilders should enjoy the hard training after high glycemic index carbohydrates to turn the body’s status as quickly as possible catabolic anabolic. For this purpose, a good example, maltodextrin is a carbohydrate. Alone after the workout your body may have a catabolic state, especially if prior training has not been taken care of adequately feed themselves. Suitable for a snack while hiilihydaatti, which is a small or medium glycemic index, as of carbohydrates to blood sugar levels remain steady and the body can be considered anabolic state for longer without having to eat all the time.

Good sources of carbohydrate food for the body builder in mind are: rice, pasta, potatoes, and whole-grain products. Very sugary foods to eat with caution, because their nutrient density is low. White sugar, it is said that it is empty calories. The body gets energy from without, however, no other nutrients, so it will only destroy the body’s vitamin and mineral stocks by going through the body’s metabolism giving your body other than energy.

If the body consists of fat mass during the easy, eating carbohydrates can be arranged on a so-called. periods, when the fat accumulation is limited to dropping the amount of carbohydrates for a few days. Daily amount of carbohydrates can then be 3-4 g / kg body weight. Otherwise, the daily amount of carbohydrates should be 5-8 g / kg body weight as the way in which you want to increase muscle mass. A diet rich in carbohydrate intake is restricted to approximately 2 g / kg body weight.
Fats (the energy content of 9 kcal / g)

Fat contains the nutrients most energy-intensive, and perhaps because the amount of fat in the diet is a hotly debated topic, and talking about jealousy can easily get expert advice. The food industry uses a lot of vähärasvaisuutta myyntikikkana products and lightness, but on the other hand, there are also fat advocates, who believe that carbohydrates are hazardous to health and cause weight gain. One point worth noting in this battle is the fact that low-carbohydrate diet advocates rarely is the case any commercial interests. Just Facts is simplified by the fact that the body is insuliinihormoonilla fattening effect, and that which causes the pancreas to produce insulin, is a carbohydrate.

Fat is an essential nutrient for humans, and it has many important functions in the body. For instance, for example. Vitamins A, D, E, and K need to be absorbed into the body fat. Fat is vital to the cells. Very low-fat diet of vitamins in the body it may cause nutrient deficiencies, especially if it is respected for a long time. The body needs fat to include. the production of testosterone which is a body builder, an important muscle of insulin-increasing hormooni. One significant feature of fat digestion, it is the fact that the fat in food slows gastric emptying so fat increases satiety and slows down the eating carbohydrate foods increase blood insulin levels.

Dietary fats, fatty acids are contained in two types: saturated and unsaturated. Unsaturated fatty acids are then divided into two categories, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated. Saturated fats often associated with cardiovascular disease, but it is what is happening and why, when the vascular kalkkeutuu, not yet fully known. It is, however, presented in a variety of different theories.

“Dietary Fat Science” is evolving and changing all the time and much is still unknown and inadmissible. One example of this is that previously thought to be a healthy vegetable-derived omega-6 fatty acid seems according to some studies of prostate cancer predisposing. Another example is a study conducted at the University of Oulu, which revealed that “healthy” low-fat diet increases LDL-cholesterol in the blood. LDL-cholesterol, high blood levels considered to be one risk factor for heart disease. There is at least quite a consensus that omega-3 fatty acids are necessary for humans, and their enjoyment of a dietary supplement is generally recommended. Omega-3 fatty acids also prevent the omega-6 fatty acids disadvantages. There is agreement on the so-called. trans fats are harmful to health and, in particular blood vessels.

The optimal amount of fat in the body builder’s diet is probably a 30-40 per cent of energy in the middle ground. Percent of energy in this context means that the food materials, quantities are measured in percentage of their energy on that.
