Physical activity and cancer :: stumptuous.com
-
From a recent study:
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States, accounting for 1 in 4 deaths annually. It has been estimated that one third of all cancer deaths are related to overweight/obesity, physical inactivity, and poor diet. Epidemiological studies have shown that regular physical activity reduces the risk for some types of cancer as well as postdiagnosis mortality.
Let’s break it down. Physical activity reduces risk of:
Breast cancer: by at least 20%. Higher levels of recreational physical activity especially demonstrated greater risk reduction.
Colon cancer: by 20% or more.
Endometrial cancer: about 30%.
And for the manpeople, prostate cancer: exact risk reduction unclear; however physical activity may protect against the more aggressive forms of the disease.
Practical Nutrition Tips for Busy Lifestyles
-
• Start off your mornings with a blender shake consisting of dry oats, a
protein powder blend, and some healthy fats like walnuts or flaxseed oil.
Prepare the shake “dry” at night by putting all the ingredients in a Tupperware
container. In the morning, all you’ll have to do is put some ice and water in
the blender, dump in the contents of the container, and blend for about thirty
seconds. This way, you can prepare and consume your first meal of the day in
just a few minutes. -
• Prepare all your meals on one day of the week. Choose a day when
you're not very busy, like Sunday, to cook all your meats, vegetables,
rice, etc. Divide what you prepare into meals you can freeze in separate
containers,
then each night before you go to bed take out what you need for the
following day and let it thaw overnight in the fridge. This might sound
like a lot of work at first, but after a couple of weeks it will become
part of your regular routine.

Get Your Back into Your Lifting
-
I’m becoming a deadlift supremacist more and more. Louie Simmons recently
wrote in Powerlifting USA, “A weak man has a weak back, and a strong man
has a strong back. It’s that simple.” Today’s gyms contain few examples of this
fundamental fact. In the American male’s preoccupation with supine, anterior
upper body strength—that is, the bench press—many neglect the vital importance
of posterior upper body strength. -
I realize that deadlifts aren’t popular in most gyms. (Some gyms even ban
them!) They’re not popular for the same reason that real squats aren’t
popular—deadlifts are tough. You have to stay on your feet, coordinate an
immense amount of muscle, and tap into primal identity. Deadlifting is a
systemically taxing movement that does not tolerate candy asses.

This guy's clearly a little bit crazy.

Worldliness and all the false concepts that depend upon ignorance for their
survival: To the average person, it seems impossible that the accumulated
bullshit that passes for knowledge can be comparatively value-less.We hasten to embrace that which has been made “respectable” by general
acceptance and then wonder why WE SHARE IN THE COMMON DISASTER!
T-Nation.com | 20 Reps Squat Challenge

As I approached the throne of the great God Squat
My legs began to tremble and my face grew hot
I knew he was a difficult God to please
And that before him all must bend their knees
I quivered and I shook as I stood before the throne
For by his mighty power many weak legs had grown
His penetrating gaze was almost more than I could bear
So I bowed my head in a brief and silent prayer
The bar in his hands held many a blackened plate
Poised as if to crush me with their awesome weight
Slowly I approached as if this act would be my last
In my head I saw visions of memories from the past
As scenes from my life flashed within my mind
I realized that this God was neither benevolent nor kind
His purpose was to torture and inflict terrible pain
His excuse was that without these, there would be no gain
As the great God Squat placed the bar upon my back
My muscles began to twitch and my joints began to crack
"Bow down before me!" he screamed inside my head
As he laid his hand upon me I wished that I was dead
I screamed and cursed and pushed with all my might
Until my heart was pounding and my face turned white
My head was throbbing as stars burst inside my skull
My vision gew dimmer and my senses began to dull
No longer could I stand to bear this evil abuse
As slippery with sweat my grip began to loose
The bar refused to budge no matter how I tried
As I plunged to the depths and in agony I cried
As I staggered away from within his clutching grasp
My head was reeling and my breath came in a gasp
The heaving of my stomach could no longer be restrained
As I spewed upon the ground the contents that remained
Little did I realize that he hadn't finished with me yet
As I gazed into his eyes he beckoned me for another set
It was there upon the floor that I knew at once within
That never again would I be able to live a life of sin !
Figure Athlete - The Final Nail in the Cardio Coffin

• December 2006, Canadian researchers reported that just two weeks of interval training boosted women's ability to burn fat during exercise by 36%.
• In January 2007, a six-month study was published showing that adding aerobic exercise had no additional effect on body composition, over diet alone.
• In June of 2007, a twelve-month study was published which had the subjects doing six hours of aerobic exercise per week, training six days a week, for one year. The average weight loss was only three pounds for that one-year period.
• According to a British study, levels of Human Growth Hormone, which assists in building muscle and burning fat, skyrocketed 530% in subjects after just thirty seconds of sprinting as fast as they could on a stationary bike.
• Australian fitness researchers had eighteen women perform twenty minutes of interval training on a stationary bike — eight-seconds of sprinting followed by twelve seconds of recovery — throughout the workout, three days a week.
The women lost an average of five-and-a-half pounds over fifteen weeks, without dieting. Similar groups performing forty minutes of moderate cycling, three days a week, actually gained a pound of fat over the same period. Two of the heavier women who did intervals dropped eighteen pounds.
• In a side-by-side comparison, researchers at McMaster University in Ontario measured fitness gains in eight interval exercisers — using twenty to thirty minute cycling workouts that included four to six thirty-second sprints — against eight volunteers who pedaled at a lower intensity for 90 to 120 minutes.
After two weeks, the interval group was every bit as fit as those who worked out three to four times as long.
Association between muscular strength and mortality in men: prospective cohort study -- Ruiz et al. 337 (12): a439 -- BMJ
-
Main outcome measures All cause mortality up to 31 December 2003; muscular strength, quantified by combining one repetition maximal measures for leg and bench presses and further categorised as age specific thirds of the combined strength variable; and cardiorespiratory fitness assessed by a maximal exercise test on a treadmill.
-
Conclusion Muscular strength is inversely and independently associated with death from all causes and cancer in men, even after adjusting for cardiorespiratory fitness and other potential confounders.

• To fix a problem, consider a short experiment with dead stop (FIC) movements exactly at your sticking point. Don't do a billion reps, just a few.
• Ab work won't give you a six-pack. It will, however, be the best support work you can do for your entire training regimen.
• Instead of embarrassing yourself on a treadmill, burn fat using a barbell or dumbbell with either Tabata front squats or a HIIT version of farmer's walks.
Eggs: Nutritionists Look at Eggs Health Benefits - Healthy Recipes, Nutrition and Cooking Tips to Improve Health or Lose Weight on MedicineNet.com

How could anyone hate an egg? Yet, 20 years ago, the dietary naysayers decided that the cholesterol in eggs was translating to artery-clogging cholesterol in the blood -- and eggs splattered onto the no-no list.

</div>-->Finally, some scientists at the Harvard School of Public Health looked at a population of 117,000 nurses who had been followed for eight to 14 years and found no difference in heart disease risk between those who ate one egg a week and those who ate more than one egg a day.
Another study reported in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition found that eggs tended to satisfy obese and overweight subjects more than a bagel breakfast with an equal calorie count. Eggs might even be a good diet food!

athletes, firefighters, industrial workers, and people susceptible to
heat stress.CoreControl TM powered by RTX cools you quickly and safely from the inside
out. With patented, cutting-edge technology, it rapidly cools your body
