Solving Sports-Related Health Problems
     

Losing a few pounds is not easy, and keeping them off is even harder. But by being aware of what you consume and following a good exercise and nutrition plan, you can dramatically improve your health through weight management.

  Write down everything you eat, as well as serving sizes, for one week. This can help you figure out what kind of meal pattern you’re comfortable with, as well as reveal how much you are actually eating.

Calculate if your calorie intake for that week was within the recommended limits (around 2500 calories for an active, average man). If you went over, it’s time to make some cuts.

 Avoid drinking calories and drink plenty of water. Many men don’t realize that beverages are often loaded with empty calories. Even fortified waters can contain as many calories as a can of soda.

 Eat a wider variety of food in smaller serving sizes. Don’t deny yourself your favorite foods, but eat them in moderation.

 Set regular mealtimes and stick with them. Don’t starve and then binge. By skipping meals and then playing catch-up, you could end up promoting more fat storage and lowering your metabolism due to fluctuating insulin and blood sugar levels.

 Protein is more filling than carbohydrates and tends to have fewer calories, making it an excellent diet choice. However, make sure it’s “good protein,” low in saturated fat: fish, lean beef and pork, white-meat poultry, eggs, nuts and beans.

 Exercise regularly…and we emphasize regularly (3-4 times a week). Diet alone will not get your body in the shape it needs to be in. Add strength-building exercises a few times a week: as you build up muscle tissue, you’ll be burning more calories.

 Take Thermogenic Formula Advanced Supplement in the morning to help promote greater weight loss and Advanced CLA Supplement Formula in the afternoon to help improve lean muscle growth.

Stick to the Game Plan for Excellent Results
   

When summer heat, sun and humidity get the best of your skin, follow these simple guidelines to get it looking relaxed, revitalized and re-invigorated.

1. Regularly cleanse body at least once a day or after sweating heavily with Daily Body Wash. Exfoliate the entire body 1 – 2 times a week using the Buff Body Gloves to remove dirt and sweat, while smoothing rough areas.

2. Apply Acne Spot Repair to existing blemishes or Acne Therapy Lotion to problem areas on your face, back and body. Allow to dry completely before putting on clothes (it can cause bleaching).

3. Apply TiO2 Sunblock SPF 30 to your face and body. Allow 20 minutes to fully absorb. Pay extra attention to sensitive areas like the hairline, back of neck and tops of feet. Be sure to thoroughly wash face and body later on to remove sunblock from skin’s surface.

4. Treat lips with Advanced Lip Protection SPF 30 to prevent sunburn and chapping.

5. Apply Advanced Face Lotion before bedtime to rebalance moisture levels and keep skin hydrated.

6. Two – three times a week, apply a thin layer of Microfine Face Scrub to face. Allow to set for 1 minute, then gently rub into skin. Wash completely away with warm water. (IMPORTANT: Exfoliating your face can produce a more even tan, but wait a day or two before heading out into the sun to protect newly-revealed skin cells.)
