13 Ways To Get More Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Hi Everyone,

I found a great post over at Diet.com by Shauna Shultz, Diet.com Chief Nutritionist

We have all heard about Omeg-3 Fatty Acids and that they are a must for good health. But what exactly are they?  How do we easily incorporate the necessary amount in our daily diet without hiring a personal nutritionist? Read on to find out how!

Enjoy!
Your Total Fitness Team

The Dietary Guidelines for Americans, American Dietetic Association, American Heart Association and many other health organizations call for eating more Omega-3 rich foods.

So, what are these Omega-3 fatty acids and where can we find them? In this blog, we’ll give you the scoop on Omega-3 fatty acids.

What are they?
These essential fatty acids are building blocks of fat – our body can’t produce them so we must obtain them from our diet. Another essential fatty acid, Omega-6, is readily obtained in our diet. However, Americans may benefit from increasing the amount of Omega-3’s and lowering the Omega-6’s in their diet to improve the balance to an optimum level.

Why are they good?
Omega-3’s are believed to lower the risk of heart disease, reduce the risk of dying from a heart attack, boost immunity and reduce artery inflammation. They may even benefit other inflammatory diseases such as Alzheimer’s and arthritis and lower blood pressure, along with reducing the effects of mood disorders.

Omega-3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fats and can raise “good” or HDL cholesterol when substituted for saturated and trans fats in the diet.
Where are they found?

Rev Your Metabolism: Burn fat fast!

Hi everyone,

 Here is another great workout that I came accross.  This is from http://www.self.com/

Learn how to burn more fat, even while you are sitting on the couch!

The workout

These multitasking moves, designed by Kira Stokes, an instructor at Reebok Sports Club/NY in New York City, will create sleek, sexy curves and accelerate your metabolism. How? By building lean muscle, which burns about three times as many calories as fat. Twice-a-week strength sessions, in fact, can rev your engine so dramatically that your body will automatically zap up to 150 extra calories every day, even when you’re sitting on the couch. That can really add up!

You’ll need A pair of 5- to 8-pound dumbbells, a resistance band or piece of tubing tied into a loop and a stability ball

Try it Do two sets of 15 reps of each toner twice a week, giving your body a day to recover between strength sessions.

Include cardio Also do 40 minutes of heart-pumping activity three days a week. It will be challenging, but it’s the ideal dose to deliver a postexercise metabolism boost, a study in Obesity notes. Your body’s calorie-burning furnace will remain fired up for 24 to 48 hours after you swap your sneaks for sandals, says study author Gary Hunter, Ph.D., of the University of Alabama at Birmingham, adding, “You can burn 150 bonus calories a day.” Coupled with our toners, that’s 300 calories daily that are gone, poof, history, in addition to the tons you’ll torch doing the routine.

When Gourmet Meets Nutrition, Part 1

by Dr. John Berardi, CSCS

Sometimes “health food” is just plain awful.
And it’s this simple fact that drives some folks away from eating healthy altogether.

While I lament this fact, I have to admit
I feel most sorry for those poor folks who decide to lower their heads and keep at it —
those who keep eating miserable tasting food because they want to lose weight or
accomplish some other health or physique-type goal.

And I feel sorry for
them because they don’t even know there’s a better way.

You see, every day, there are people
out there eating healthy, easy-to-make meals that might easily be found in gourmet restaurants. Meals that could impress the most discerning foodie. Meals that could
fool a first date, a reluctant spouse, or picky-eating kids. Meals that just plain taste
good. Meals that, when planned and eaten consistently, can improve and even
completely transform your body.

And how do they do it?

Strut Your Stuff: 7 Moves for Runway Legs

It is not too soon to start thinking about showing off your legs.  We are at the end of February and spring and summer will be here before you know it. More clothes will come off and I don’t want you to go into shock because you did not work on those legs!

I found a great article by Jeanette Jenkins over at the Fit List: Workout Tips for Celebrity Trainers over at MSNBC. Here is part of what she had to say:

Ever wonder how supermodels like Gisele Bundchen, Heidi Klum and Naomi Campbell keep their legs looking runway-ready? Of course, there is no denying they have great genes. But they also work at those gorgeous gams. When they have a runway show coming up, such as the ones this month in Milan and Rio, they call on a trainer to get their legs looking fierce and fabulous!

To help you get your own pair of runway legs, incorporate some of the following lower-body exercises and activities into your workout regimen. For the best results, try using two to three different methods of training each week so your muscles are constantly challenged.

She recommends: Ballet, Call-me-the-’B'-word-today-but-love-me-tomorrow-lunges!, Uphill hiking,Yoga, Strength-training, Pilates, a Spinning.
