ACTION OF ALCOHOL ON INTERNAL ORGANS
The action of alcohol on the stomach is extremely dangerous. So much so that the stomach eventually is unable to produce the natural digestive fluid in sufficient quantity. In addition to that, the stomach will fail to absorb the food it takes in properly, imperfectly digesting it. A condition marked by the sense of nausea, emptiness, prostration and distention will always be faced by an alcoholic. This results in a loathing for food and is teased with a craving for more drink. Thus there is engendered a permanent disorder which is called dyspepsia. The disastrous forms of confirmed indigestion originate by this practice.

45 Ways to Burn Calories
Bonus Tip: Supercharge Your Calorie-Burning Workouts
There are little
tricks you can use to make your cardio workouts a little more
heart-pounding. For example, if you like to run or jog, try doing so
on a surface other than concrete. Loosely packed dirt, sand, or water
will provide lots of resistance, making your body work harder than
ever. Jogging through water can burn up to 17 calories a minute!
You can also add
resistance by wearing wrist and ankle weights. They make it just a
bit harder to lift your arms and legs, which means more calories
burned during your workout.
Calorie-Burning Recap
Let’s review
some of the many ways you can burn more calories:
- Eat the right foods, several times throughout the day.
- Use ginger and green tea to heat up your metabolism.
- Rev up your workouts with added resistance.
- Do something fun for your cardio exercise.
- Use heart-healthy fats in your meals.
- Don’t cut out any food groups.
- Stay hydrated.
- Learn to stretch and relax.
- Get plenty of Vitamin C, B complex, and calcium.
- Get adequate rest at night and between workouts.
- Know how many calories you need and how many you burn.
- Learn to work around holidays, children, and other distractions.
- Do the most effective exercises for your abs, arms, and legs.
- If you’re stuck at your desk, stretch or fidget to burn calories.
- Keep burning calories by exercising while you run errands.
- Nourish your muscles with lean protein.
- Take up gardening – your lawn and your waistline will thank you!
Once you’ve calculated your BMR,
you’ll have a good idea of how many calories your body requires
each day. Take into account the calories you expend during exercise.
Then start keeping track of the food you eat each day.
Between diet and exercise, you’ll
need to create a calorie deficit of 3,500 calories per week to lose a
pound of fat. That’s a healthy rate of weight loss. Any faster, and
you risk gaining the weight back very quickly.
Fortunately, for those of us who aren’t
exactly fans of exercise, you can burn hundreds of calories each hour
just by doing fun things. Get inspired to dance, play childhood
games, join a sports league, or dive into a pool. You’ll have a
great time while the calories burn away.
Good luck!

Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle
By Tom Venuto
Tom is one of the most respected names
in the bodybuilding game because of the amazing physique he has built
without the use of steroids or other drugs.
Here is a guy who has competed in
bodybuilding 28 times at between 3.7% and 4.5% body fat, which is a
phenomenal achievement when you realize that it's been done
naturally.
Therefore when Tom decides to write
down his fat loss secrets then you just have to take a look.
Tom's program is based on using the
right type, frequency and intensity of exercise (BURN), which allows
you to actually eat more (FEED) and still easily shed your unwanted
body fat. There is NO starvation dieting involved.
This program also allows you to keep
your muscle, which is important because most conventional diets cause
you to lose at least a pound of lean tissue for every pound of fat
you lose. Retaining muscle is the key to optimal fat burning
metabolism.

Now for today's tips.
Tip 43: The Best Vitamins for Fat Burning
We’ve learned
about tea and herbs; now let’s take a look at how vitamins can help
you burn more calories.
The B vitamins
help your body metabolize the food you eat, turning it into energy
rather than storing it as fat. Taking B vitamins will result in a
higher level of energy and could speed up your weight loss.
Calcium is an
important part of weight loss. People who consume more calcium lose
more weight. Numerous studies have proven this to be the case. Make
sure your multivitamin contains at least 100% of your daily calcium
requirement, or drink 3 glasses of low-fat milk each day.
Vitamin C has
recently been labeled a fat-burner as well. One study by the
University of Colorado suggests that Vitamin C protects the body from
the effects of stress, helping all functions – including metabolism
– work more efficiently.
Tip 44: Carb & Cortisol Blockers
There are several
products on the market that claim to block the absorption of
carbohydrates and the production of cortisol. In theory, they sound
like a good idea; excessive carb consumption can lead to obesity,
particularly in insulin-resistant individuals and diabetics. And
cortisol is a hormone that tells the body to store fat in the
abdominal region – not a good thing.
Unfortunately,
science does not support the claims of carb and cortisol blockers. To
reduce your carb intake, it’s better to cut out refined sugars and
white flour products, and replace them with fruits, vegetables, and
whole grains. To reduce the amount of cortisol in your body, reduce
your stress level by exercising regularly, getting plenty of sleep,
and practicing yoga and other relaxing techniques.
Tip 45: What About Ephedra?
Ephedra used to be
featured in numerous weight loss products, including the popular
E-P-A stack (marketed as Stacker). Due to some unfortunate side
effects, the Food and Drug Administration banned the use of ephedra
in diet aids.
However, there are
still some herbal equivalents in use. Fans of guarana and ma huang
say that these herbs give their metabolisms a boost just like
ephedra. Bitter orange peel extract acts in a similar fashion.
These supplements
can be dangerous when taken in large amounts, or even when used
regularly in people with heart conditions. That’s because they are
known to stimulate the heart and raise blood pressure. If you have
any health concerns at all, please get your doctor’s approval
before taking ephedra or ephedra-like herbs.

Tip 40: Fun Aerobic Exercises that Won’t Bore You
Aerobic exercise
doesn’t have to be a chore. In fact, boredom is a leading reason
why many people don’t stick to their exercise routines. Who wants
to jog in one place on a treadmill every day?
Luckily, some of
the coolest activities are also great calorie-burners! A 150-pound
person burns 408 calories an hour playing a casual game of
basketball. That same person would burn 400 calories by hitting a
punching bag for an hour, or 340 calories during an hour of
playground games.
A touch football
game burns 544 calories per hour. Horseback riding burns 270 calories
per hour, and an additional 232 if you unsaddle and groom the horse
afterward. Motocross also burns 270 calories an hour.
One hour of
roller-skating will provide lots of entertainment (and burn 476
calories). An easy-paced game of softball or baseball burns 340
calories an hour, while a casual racquetball game burns 476.
What’s a quick,
easy, fun and inexpensive way to burn major calories? Jumping rope! A
150-pound person will burn a whopping 680 calories an hour.
Tip 41: Fat-Burning Green Tea
Many weight loss
supplements contain green tea extract, and green tea has definitely
been promoted in the headlines as a healthy drink that can help you
burn fat. But are the claims true?
Yes! Green tea can
help you burn more calories in a variety of ways. First, because
green tea contains caffeine, it acts as an appetite suppressant. The
caffeine content can also perk you up, making you more active. And
while you’re working out, the caffeine in green tea can keep your
heart rate up for longer periods of time.
Green tea also
contains plant substances that help you burn an additional 60
calories per day, according to Swiss researchers. That’s 60
calories gone, from doing nothing more than drinking a few cups of
green tea.
Finally, if you
substitute calorie-free green tea for sodas and creamy coffee
beverages, you can save a lot of calories and still get your caffeine
fix.
Tip 42: Ginger
Among the foods
rumored to be thermogenic, ginger stands out as a popular fat-burner.
But how effective is it? Can an herb really increase the rate at
which your body turns calories into energy?
While the
scientific jury is still out, ginger does act as a vasodilator. It
opens the veins and promotes better blood circulation. This could
increase the body’s metabolic rate by pumping more blood to the
liver, which metabolizes fat.
Ginger also
soothes the stomach and can promote more efficient digestion. Try
adding some pickled ginger to salads, or sipping ginger tea before
your workouts.

Tip 37: Find Your Target Heart Rate
To get the most
benefit from your workouts, the American Heart Association recommends
staying within your target heart rate range. Your target heart rate
is your resting heart rate plus 50 – 85%. The Mayo Clinic web site
has a quick target heart rate calculator you can use.
Of course,
measuring your target heart rate can be a little complicated. The AHA
also recommends the “conversation pace” measurement. If you can
talk while you workout, you’re probably going at a good pace. If
you can sing while working out, you need to push yourself a little
harder. If you cannot talk without a lot of effort, you could be
working out too hard.
Tip 38: Burn Calories While You Work
Do you have a desk
job that doesn’t provide many opportunities to be physically
active? If so, don’t despair; with a little creativity, you can
burn extra calories while you sit at your desk.
You can certainly
stretch your arms, shoulders, and neck while sitting down. These
stretches will keep you from becoming cramped, and they will also
burn a few calories. Conscious fidgeting (tapping your feet, changing
position, and getting up to walk around) can burn several hundreds of
calories each day. Even chewing gum will burn an additional 11
calories per hour, according to Mayo Clinic researchers.
If you have the
space and money, you can even find tiny exercise bikes that fit
beneath a desk. You can pedal while you work, burning 200 – 300
calories per hour.
Tip 39: Burn Calories in Your Garden
Many people don’t
realize that gardening is hard work until they try it for themselves.
But gardening is a real calorie-burner. Check out the number of
calories a 150-pound person would burn during an hour of the
following activities:
* General gardening tasks burn about 270 calories per hour.
* One hour of digging and spading burns 340 calories.
* An hour of picking fruit, vegetables, and flowers results in a loss of 210 calories.
* Laying sod for an hour will burn 340 calories.
* Planting trees and shrubs burns 310 calories per hour.
* Trimming shrubs and trees for an hour will burn 306 calories. So will an hour of weeding.
* Raking the lawn for an hour burns 292 calories.
* And the best gardening activity for burning calories is mowing the yard with a push mower. One hour at this task will leave you with a better-looking yard and 400 calories burned!
So don't entertain excuses. There are many way to burn those calories and lose that weight.

Tip 34: Exercising with Kids Underfoot
As any new parent
will tell you, kids are a full-time job unto themselves. But many
moms and dads regard the birth of a child as a new phase in life, and
they want to take the opportunity to shed excess pounds and be the
best parent they can be.
So how do busy
parents make time when they have a demanding infant or toddler
underfoot? There are several tactics, actually.
First, try to get
someone to watch the baby while you sneak in a workout. You never
know; your spouse or parents might cherish the thought of having some
regular one-on-one time with the new arrival.
If babysitters are
scarce, try some exercises you can do with the baby. If you have an
infant, join a stroller walking club for fun and fitness. If you have
a toddler or older child, take them to the park or swimming pool.
You’ll have a good time while you get fit!
Tip 35: Burn More Calories While You Run Errands
Your calorie
burning doesn’t have to be limited to workout sessions. In fact,
you can burn calories all day long while you go about your daily
tasks.
Think about it:
How much time do you spend sitting in traffic, standing in line at
the grocery store, and sitting at a desk? That’s a lot of sedentary
time you could spend getting a little extra calorie burn.
When you’re
driving around, try sitting up straight and sucking in your stomach.
Visualize your bellybutton pulling back toward your spine. Hold this
clench for 10 seconds, then release. Repeat as often as you can.
Butt-squeezes
sound funny, but they are an excellent way to tone your backside.
Plus, nobody will even realize you’re doing them! While sitting or
standing, clench your glutes as hard as you can. Hold for a count of
10, then release and repeat. Practice until you can hold the clench
for 30 seconds.
Of course, you can
always burn more calories by parking far away from store entrances
and taking stairs instead of elevators. Every little bit helps!
Tip 36: Calculate your BMR
Before you burn
calories, you need to know how many calories your body needs in order
to function properly. You can find this out by calculating your basal
metabolic rate, or BMR.
There are many
detailed BMR calculators online, but here are some simple rules that
will give you a good estimate of your caloric needs:
- To lose weight, you need to eat 12 to 13 calories per pound of body weight.
- To maintain your weight, you need 15 to 16 calories per pound.
- To gain weight, you need 18 to 19 calories per pound.
Thus, a 150 pound
person needs at least 1,800 calories each day to lose weight and keep
their body running efficiently. This requirement can vary according
to gender, age, medical conditions, and activity level. You can
receive more customized results from online BMR calculators or your
health care provider.
