More H2O...is the answer. Ask yourself how much water you are drinking in a 24 hour period. I will bet it is not even 16 oz.

A colleague of mine just found out she has celiac disease and this article is a great resource for her and many of us. While I don't have Celiac Disease, my bodybuilding mentor has taught me many of the benefits of a gluten-free diet. I highly recommend glutenfreegal.com for anyone interested in a healthy diet, whether they are sensitive to gluten, or not. Here is a great segment from the article: 2 years ago, most people didn’t know what gluten free or Celiac Disease, or gluten sensitivity was. Now, Gluten-Free is on the top ten list of the most overused words that people are sick of hearing. Yet I wonder, how much further are we along in educating the masses about Gluten, about what exactly having a gluten issue means?

Interesting information here. What do you think about the following, myth, or not? 2. Myth: It’s not a good idea to train on an empty stomach The body burns calories even more when you are practicing before breakfast, then on an empty stomach, and this is confirmed by recent research. Regardless, the entry of water into the body can not be reduced.

Effective nutritional and workout plans are the answer to how to start losing weight successfully.
AlGonzalezinfo's insight:
Good article here, easy and simple read on how to start with good nutrition and workout plans. This is a good source.
From the post: Your Nutritional PlanFirst, you must devise the right nutritional plan to learn how to lose fat effectively. You must analyze your present eating habits to see where changes need to be made.Keeping a food diary of everything you eat will help you record not only the foods you consume, but also their calories. You can also see the foods clearly that are high in unhealthy fats, sugar and salt. These all have a tremendous affect on your weight.

AlGonzalezinfo's insight:
Good article on the possible causes of low-T and good suggestions on how to address it. If you need another reason to stop using plastic bottles, here it is:
From the article: The million dollar question is why are so many young men having inadequate hormone levels and what can a person do to prevent this problem? There are many theories on what causes this problem and one of them is someone getting too much exposer to something known as BPA or bisphenol A. This BPA stuff is inside plastic that is used in water bottles; it's used on the outside of cans and leftover containers. In a study done in China they tested two groups of men. One group was constantly exposed to BPA for six months and the other group was not. The end result was that the group that was exposed to this chemical had lower testosterone levels, a lower sperm count and more love making problems. To protect yourself do not heat anything in plastic, this includes the microwave. Reduce the amount of canned food you consume, don't drink out of plastic bottles and use glass containers to store food.

AlGonzalezinfo's insight:
An amazing story about the benefits of exercise and bodybuilding! Wow!
From the post:
Mrs Bradley said: ‘It was amazing to be able to walk down the aisle – I nearly ran it. I had no pain whatsoever and felt so confident. My GP is completely amazed and can’t believe the difference in me.
‘My condition got so severe, it would hurt if I sneezed or moved my toes. I needed assistance for everything, even moving in bed. Mrs Bradley was diagnosed with syringomyelia in 2009 after suffering years of chronic back pain and shaking in her legs.
It causes cysts to develop in her spinal cord causing pain, muscle weakness and even paralysis

Mindfulness techniques are becoming popular and one of the more potent combinations for achieving deeper mindfulness is exercise and meditation.
AlGonzalezinfo's insight:
This is wonderful post on mindfulness and exercise from an expert on both, Morgan Mix @ModernMeditator. From the post: Reasons Why You Should Try Mindful Exercise Now, many years later, and after a good deal of training, I am finding that there is a fluid and fruitful relationship between my meditation practice and mindful exercise. Maybe you can relate? Here are my top five observations on why meditation and working out, among many mindfulness techniques, are such a good combination.

AlGonzalezinfo's insight:
Wow, I have not downloaded their guide yet, but check this out: Office workers are not compensating for this sedentary life once they are away from the office, the research suggests 47% do less than an hour of exercise a week. Again work appears to be part of the problem. Almost a quarter (24%) surveyed can't fit any exercise into their working day and say it's too late by the time they get home to do it. As a result, 52% are worried about their weight, only 31% are the right weight for their height, 30% say they have worrying stress levels and 53% fear for their health.

Here is my favorite one: 4. They Don’t Waste Energy on Things They Can’t Control You won’t hear a mentally strong person complaining over lost luggage or traffic jams. Instead, they focus on what they can control in their lives. They recognize that sometimes, the only thing they can control is their attitude.
