I went bikini shopping the other day, and I was actually pretty excited about it. Since the Olympics, I’ve been playing some beach volleyball — always a good way to boost my self confidence when it comes to wearing a two piece. Plus, I’d spent much of the day discussing body image and self confidence and the importance of really, truly owning your space and loving yourself. But bikini shopping has never been my favorite, so even though I was going into it feeling pretty awesome about myself, I knew it would be a bit of a test. There are two shops next to … The post What Happens When an FBG Gets Body Shamed appeared first on Fit Bottomed Girls. via Tumblr http://vincentpennington.tumblr.com/post/149695492354 It’s no longer a secret that interval training gets results. Time and time again, intervals have been shown to outperform steady state exercise sessions when it comes to burning calories and reducing body fat. Intervals work. Got it. Where do you begin? Well, there are all sorts of interval training programs you can follow to help reduce your time spent in the gym. There are yoga intervals, group fitness intervals, body-weight intervals, and many others. But what if you want to keep it simple? Intervals have got that covered, too.

http://ifttt.com/images/no_image_card.png Meats with the most protein can indeed be good news for many out there who need to have their daily dose of meat products, especially those who want to build mass. Meats with the most protein can be a delicious piece of steakYes you got that right. Topping the list of the top three protein meat sources can be grilled to perfection, but still a word of caution to make sure that it is taken in moderation and balanced with other food types for a balanced and nutritious meal. Proteins play a crucial and essential role in maintaining and building a healthy body, grows muscle mass and develops the bones. Two of the most common protein products in the body are the hair and fingernails. The proteins that we put into our bodies are the dietary proteins that we source from food and most of the beneficial proteins that our bodies need are those from vegetables and meats that we consume. The building blocks of protein are called amino acids and considered as necessary nutrients present in every cell and are precursors to nucleic acids, hormones, co-enzymes, immune response, repair and other molecules essential for life. Pork tenderloinWho says pork is bad for the body? Well, experts say that pork tenderloin can be a veritable source of animal protein that helps build muscles mass. A 3-gram serving of pork tenderloin gives you 26 grams of protein. The key here is that pork tenderloin is lean meat and contains and does not contain fat. Turkey and chicken breastA favourite among weight lifters and body builders, chicken and turkey breast meat packs a lot of protein. It contains 24 grams for every 3 ounces of cooked meat. Steak roundThe quintessential beef cut is a harmony of protein and flavour. Whether top or bottom part, the steak round is taken from the hind leg of the cow, which makes it a bit juicier compared to its other tough counterparts. A single 3-ounce serving can give you 23 grams of protein. FishOf course, fish is also an animal and this is not one to be singled out because fish like tuna, cod or salmon, contains 22 grams of protein for every 3 ounce serving. Veal (low fat)A lean cutlet of veal can provide you with 10 grams of protein for every 3-ounce serving.

http://ifttt.com/images/no_image_card.png Chest training exercises are the way to go and in ways that you’d least expect to let you get those well carved chest muscles. Chest training exercises need focusSometimes it takes some well-earned fitness knowledge and body mechanics to understand how you could start attacking your chest muscles and maximize the effects in the shortest time possible. Mind you, it’s not about the number repetitions nor the intensity of the workouts, but by the way you strategize and target the right muscle groups for your chest muscles. Open your chest by retracting your shouldersDoing the bench press seems like a fairly simple process. How difficult can it be to pump the iron by lowering it to your chest and pushing it back up, but as mentioned earlier, there are ways to ensure that you are properly doing it to enhance the results. Have you considered checking the position of your shoulder blades for your bench press exercise? As you lower the barbell, retract both shoulder blades to open up the chest. It is usually characterized by a slight exaggeration of the thoracic spine that make your chest expand. This movement recruits the lats and even help you to perform the press safer. Utilize several bench anglesAngles are critical when doing the press. One of the main benefits of the incline press in addition to the flat bench press is that you are aiming for the thorough pecs development. This concept is similar to the intermediate bench press then halfway through the routine you shift to a flat and incline press that gives you an overall upper body and core muscle workout. All you need to do is to start with a flat bench, followed by a second set by moving it up a notch, then higher every set until you end up to the normal incline position. Remember that the steeper you go, the higher it moves up to the chest muscle network. Consider your liftoff and lockoutAlways remember from where you started off so that you’ll know what to do in order to lower your range of motion. Start building strength from the bottom by adapting the paused bench presses, also called the dead benches. Allow the bar to settle on the safety latches in a power rack just lightly off your chest for 2 seconds before you power out. Make sure that the bar settles at the safety latches between each rep to be able to develop strength from the bottom of each rep. Building at the topUse bench press boards or adjust the safety latches in the power rack, then train over a smaller portion of the range of motion. You can add more weight for full-range reps to allow for an ascending strength curve. Building along the natural strength curveFor this, use bands or chains with the bench to create additional resistance when you push the weight away from your chest. This allows for developing your ascending strength curve. Stress the tricepsApply a bit more aggressive approach to your triceps. Incorporate weighted dips, machine dips, weighted bench dips and closed-grip bench presses. Strength gains call for lower reps while close grip benches allow you to take in more advanced techniques. Also do more tricep pushdowns if you feel you need to do more. Follow a consistent bench programBuild bigger chests with substantial strength training, so make sure you follow the same bench program consistently. Also, diet and rest are also crucial at this state of muscle development so make sure you have the right food and adequate rest for your muscles to recover and grow.

http://ifttt.com/images/no_image_card.png Bacteria based nanorobots are now being developed by researchers to help in cancer treatments by way of accurately targeting tumour cells in the body through these minute bots that transports the drug directly on affected cells. Bacteria based nanorobots getting the nodMedical experts lauded this invention as a revolutionary step forward into the treatment of cancer and help improve health conditions for many who are plagued with the deadly disease. The work was recently published in the Journal Nature Nanotechnology, where researchers from the Nanorobotics Laboratory of Polytechnique Montreal. Prof. Sylvain Martel, who head the research team, points out that conventional chemotherapy treatments often get to affect all cells in the body and do not isolate it to the specific or affected cells. As the drugs travel through the bloodstream, it affects other healthy cells along the way. “So we thought that if we could navigate it directly from point A to point B where we need to do the treatment, exactly inside the tumour, all those agents would become extremely efficient,” Martel said. This is when they started to develop bacteria-based nanorobots that would help the magnetococcus marinus bacteria that contain magnetically metallic crystals, which can be injected close to the affected tumour site and controlled by computer-guided magnetic fields. Nanorobots testingDuring the testing phase, Sylvain and his team were able to successfully inject the nanorobots into laboratory mice with colorectal cancer tumour. As the expected, the nanorobots did its job. The nanorobots gravitated towards the tumour cells that it found to be low-oxygen areas. “When you’ve got something with propulsion, navigation, and sensors, it starts looking like the nanorobots of the future,” he said, adding: “…They behave exactly like futuristic nanorobots and deliver the drug exactly where the drug will be the most effective,” says Martel Martel also says that the possibilities of using these nanorobots are endless, not just limited to treating patents with cancer. He said it also has a high potential for use to deliver diagnostic and imaging agents throughout the body. They are hoping that clinical trials be undertaken soon, but they are also still trying to study if the bacteria they are working on for the nanorobots are safe for humans . The National Cancer Institute reports that there is an increasing number of cancer incidents all over the world. This year, more than 1.5 million estimated new cases of cancer were diagnosed in the United States alone and almost 600,000 are expected to die from various cancer types.

http://ifttt.com/images/no_image_card.png Scalpel-free brain surgery may soon be the safest technology adopting a non-invasive ultrasound therapy to improve symptoms of a neurological disorder that causes intermittent and uncontrollable tremors. Scalpel-free brain surgery gets a facelift Not to be confused with Parkinson’s disease, the essential tremor – as what it is commonly called – is a common disorder that mainly affects the head and hands. In a recent publication of the New England Journal of Medicine, researchers from The Sunnybrook Hospital on Toronto, Canada, introduced a new ultrasound thalamotomy, which is a scalpel-free procedure that destroys bits and pieces of brain tissue in the thalamus region which is responsible for controlling muscle activity. Essential tremors can occur at anytime, without regard to age or gender, but should not be confused with Parkinson’s disease which is a degenerative disease that results to brain damage. Improved quality of life“It has a significant impact on (patients’) quality of life – without making a hole in the skull or an incision,” says Dr. Nir Lipsman, co-author of the study and a neurosurgeon at the Sunnybrook Research Institute where this form of treatment is currently being exclusively provided by The Sunnybrook Hospital. The study involved some 76 patients who were diagnosed with moderate to severe essential tremor conditions that were not responsive to any medication. The test participants were enrolled in a randomly controlled test where some were administrated MRI-guided focused ultrasound thalamotomy while others went through a placebo treatment. After three months, those who underwent the non-invasive procedure had their conditions improve by 46 percent compared to the control group. Lipsman said that the results have been ‘extremely rewarding’ and were thrilled to see the improvement among the patients. Other test participants noted significant improvement over their conditions, where one of them was now able to write when it was not a possibility prior to the treatment. Not effective for allThere’s just one downside to the process, since it did not work for some of the patients and doctors still do not have the answer as to why, but are now conducting ongoing research to find out. Essential tremor is typically not a dangerous condition, but has been found to be an embarrassing by many of those who are afflicted by it. It may sometimes disappear over time, but there are cases where it could get worse over time. It may occur at anytime and at any age, but is most common with people aged 40 and up.
