Be Careful with Water

- Never apply cold hydrotherapeutic treatments when the body is also cold and especially not if the person is also shivering.

- It is necessary to warm up first through physical exercise, very hot foot or arm baths or by following any other hydrotherapeutic procedure at alternate temperatures.

- After the treament it is important you avoid feeling cold. Therefore, it is recommended you:

>Carry out moderate physical exercise or,

>Get into bed until sufficiently warm again.

- People who are not used to cold hydrotherapy should initially use it during very brief periods of time.

- It is better not to carry out these treaments when tired or pressed for time or when you do not have sufficient perseverance.

- If these treatments are to be effective, they most be carried out in a relaxed manner so that the neurovegetative system can react correctly.

Cardiovascular Exercise Training

Basically, the food that we take in provides the necessary nutrients and fuel your body needs in order to function well. However, if we take in more fuel than we actually need, the excess is stored in the form of body fat. Hence, physical activity, like cardiorespiratory exercise can actually help in increasing your usage of body fat or energy stores in order for us to lose weight.

Finding the Right Intensity for Weight Loss:

We’ve been wondering on how intense our cardiovascular exercise should be in order for weight loss to happen. There are many programs which promote either high intensity or low intensity training.

HIGH INTENSITY TRAINING

Advantages:

- stimulates cardiorespiratory system adaptation sufficiently.

- more total energy consumption in a given exercise time period.

Disadvantages:

- it may lead to overtraining which may decrease performance and the overall training effect.

- for beginners, the load of intensity may be overwhelming and may promote discouragement.

- high intensity training may increase your risk for injury.

LOW INTENSITY TRAINING

Advantages:

- reduce risk for injury

- more suitable for beginners

- given the same duration, it may lead to fair amount of cardiorespiratory adaptation.

- low intensity training utilizes more of your body fat stores as a source of fuel.

Disadvantages:

- workouts may become stale and boring.

- you need more time to induce sufficient calorie expenditure.

- lesser total caloric consumption per given session.

How Do I Know If I’m Overweight or Obese?

Check your Ideal Body Weight (IBW) or Desirable Body Weight (DBW). IBW for women can be estimated as 100 lbs for the first 5 feet +/- 5 lbs per additional inch over and below 5 feet.

Example: For 5′3″ female, her IBW is 115 lbs.

Using the MODIFIED TANHAUSER’s FORMULA:

IBW or DBW = (height in cm. - 100) - 10% of (height in cm. - 100)

YOU ARE:

NORMAL - if ABW is +/- 10% ABW

OVERWEIGHT - if ABW is 10 - 20% DBW

OBESE - if ABW is >20% DBW

Sex for Better Health:

Today, more and more people are having health problems, especially with their weight. Most of the time, fitness training at the nearby gym is the sought after solution but not everybody can give the needed commitment. Basically, at first one would get so excited but after a month or so, the excitement wears off and is replaced by boredom and laziness. Problem with most of us is that we want instant results. We don’t want to plant seeds, we want to harvest the crops directly. Gym goers that has put a hault in their fitness training generally do so out of frustration. Frustrated that they don’t see any progress after a month of training. Actually, you reap the good results of fitness training after 6 months of doing it so exercise deligently.

Regular exercise strengthens your heart muscle, lower your blood pressure, reduce your cholesterol level and generally helps you lose weight and keep it off. Contrary to the common belief, after a rigourous exercise, you wouldn’t feel tired at all. As a matter of fact, you get more energetic and you feel more in control of your health. Research has shown that brisk walking for about 20 minutes at least three times a week can help ward off cardiovascular crisis.

Its a sad fact that not all people see the many benefits exercise can give. Although some understand the result one could potentially reap, still not everybody has the needed discipline to carry out this form of regimen. As the title of this article suggests, sex, coitus or love making can be a substitute to your exercise training. One obvious reason why this is such a good news is that you wouldn’t think of it as a tedious scheduled chore but rather a healthy and enjoyable health treat.

Sex can improve your health, there is the sweat and the vigourous motion. If you think, I’m this perve trying to justify my not so ordinary sexual activities because you’re this pseudo-prude that finds sex a taboo, I will medically prove you wrong.

If you recently had a heart attack, you can have sex again within three to four weeks. Compared with other types of physical activity, you may need to start out slowly and work your way back into your normal patterns.

“About 2,400 men in the town of Caerphilly in Wales were surveyed about their habits, including how often they had sex? Then they were followed up for ten years. Those who reported the most frequent sexual activity were only half as likely to suffer a stroke or heart attack during that time.” -(journal)

Statistics show that half an hour of sex can burn around 53 calories. That is equivalent to running three minutes up and down the stairs, six minutes of tennis or seven minutes on an exercise bike. Here are the metabolic equivalents of sex versus other form of exercise:

METABOLIC Equivalents:

1 MET = 3.5 ml of oxygen/
kilogram body weight / minute

having SEX with partner = 5 METS
having SEX with mistress = 9 METS
playing basketball = 9 METS
playing tennis = 6 METS
skiing = 8 METS
walking 1mile = 2.3 METS
walking 2miles = 3.1 METS
walking 3miles = 4.3 MET
