Due to the relative nature of HIIT, we believe it can be performed by (almost) everyone.
However, we are certainly not saying that everyone should do it; nor is HIIT necessarily the best thing since sliced bread. The best form of exercise is the one that you will actually do, and do safely.

You can choose any 8-hour window to consume calories. Some people opt to skip breakfast and fast from noon to 8 p.m., while others avoid eating late and stick to a 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. schedule. Limiting the number of hours that you can eat during the day may help you lose weight and lower your blood pressure
This infographic is about High Intensity Interval Training, the most effective way of doing cardio to burn extra calories.

In this presentation, I provide useful tips for busy people who can't seem the find the time to exercise. The keys: (1) "exercise snacks," and (2) "think outside the gym." Broaden your horizons about what counts as exercise and try 10 minutes at a time. It works!
Similar to HIGH INTENSITY INTERVAL TRAINING (HIIT) (20)
We’ve all heard this before: “Don’t lift weights when you are too young, otherwise your growth will be stunted!”
Indeed, this is one of the most common concern for young individuals looking to lift weights at the gym, and it is a perfectly understandable one. After all, while you can always gain muscle later in life, the window for growing taller won’t last forever.
Naturally we at FitnessFlash are going to inspect this claim. Is it true that resistance training can harm growth? And how young is too young when it comes to resistance training?
Tabata training was developed by Izumi Tabata, Ph.D., at the National Institute of Fitness and Sports in Tokyo. It’s a timed interval method that alternates between 20-second intervals performed at maximum effort and 10-second stages of rest, repeated eight times for the ultimate exhaustive four-minute workout. It is a type of High Intensity Interval Training which is famously effective for fat loss.
While TABATA training requires only one exercise, athletes are free to put together a TABATA workout from a huge array of strength and aerobic exercises. The key is simply to adhere to the 2:1 exercise-to-rest ratio, in order to incorporate a greater work load or intensity and hit a greater range of muscle groups than traditional cardio in a shorter amount of time.
At the end of the day, doing CrossFit is infinitely better than doing nothing, provided you can perform the exercises properly. Knowing your own limitations–and constantly pushing it within the boundaries of safety–will be your key to success.
Benefits of training calves
Injury prevention, especially protecting from calf pulls.
Feet and ankle stabilization.
More explosive power.
Better aeshtetics.
In reality, there are three places for the calories to go:
1. Toward building new muscle. This is the desired result of bulking and caloric surplus.
2. Toward new body fat. This is what no one wants, and fat gain is usually exacerbated by a) lack of muscle-growth-signaling workout program, and b) excessive and/or long lasting caloric surplus.
3. Toward a combination of both. This is the most common case. For every X pounds of muscle we gain, it seems Y pounds of fat always come along with it.
So that’s why gaining fat while trying to build muscle is not only a possibility, but an extremely common reality. The caloric surplus we need to consume can just as easily go toward muscle growth, fat storage, or both.
While compound movements can grow the arms to an extent, the fact of the matter is that many lifters also need isolation movements to grow their arms. Let’s look at some of the most effective exercises in growing your biceps and triceps.
For biceps: EZ-bar curls, Barbell Curl, Preacher Curl, Zottman Curl, Incline Dumbbell Curl, One-Arm Cable Curl
For triceps: Dips, Close-grip Bench Press, Pushups, Skull Crusher, Tricep Pushdown (with rope or V-bar), Bent Over Rope Triceps Extension
These are some of the most popular arm exercises for good reason: they are effective when done in proper form and with the appropriate frequency and rep ranges.
It is important to note that IIFYM and clean eating aren’t exclusive to each other.
Upon doing IIFYM, you will quickly realize that eating healthier foods like veggies uses up less of your macro counts than junk food, so IIFYM can naturally encourage you to eat more healthy food.
Likewise, while clean eating theoretically allows us to eat as much ‘clean’ food as we want, the healthy mindset that it promotes can also encourage us to eat in moderation.
Plyometric is able to
1. Strengthen fast-twitch fibers in the muscles, increase power
2. Increase the strength of tendons, decrease injuries
3. Booss the efficiency of neuromuscular system
4. Boost overall athletic performance
The TRX System, also known as Total Resistance eXercise, refers to a specialized form of suspension training that utilizes equipment developed by former U.S. Navy SEAL, Randy Hetrick. TRX is a form of suspension training that uses body weight exercises to develop strength, balance, flexibility and core stability simultaneously. It requires the use of the TRX Suspension Trainer, a performance training tool that leverages gravity and the user’s body weight to complete the exercises. TRX’s designers claim that it draws on research from the military, pro sports, and academic institutions along with experience gathered from the TRX team, who work “with thousands of athletes, coaches, trainers, first responders, subject matter experts, professors, and service members in all branches.”
The main reason why we deload is to break through plateau.
Deloading helps prevent injuries from overtraining by giving your joints, tendons, and ligaments a breather from high volume or high intensity training that it couldn’t otherwise get only from a couple of rest days per week. In addition, a planned week away from weightlifting often works wonders for a lifter’s mental health. Many lifters are not aware of how strenuous weight training can be on the central nervous system.
In short, if you feel banged up, demotivated, or stuck in a training plateau, adding a deload phase will likely do you the world of good–ultimately propelling you on to greater gym gains.
Should we eat frozen or canned vegetablesHugo Harrison
By now, it should be clear that fresh is the way to go when it comes to food produce, especially vegetables. Frozen vegetables is not that far behind. While we should be wary of canned food in general, canned vegetables have the obvious advantage of longer shelf life. Your main priority when picking canned vegetables should be whether the can contains BPA, and avoid acidic produce such as tomatoes if that is the case.
Superfood is such an appealing buzzword because it suggests a quick fix to our health and fitness problems. While these superfoods are great additions to one’s diet, expecting them to be the be-all-end-all miracle to our health issues is simply unrealistic. On top of consuming these superfoods, you will need a good diet, exercise routine, and plenty of sleep as well. When all of this is met, rest assured that you will move towards a better and stronger version of yourself.
Here, we will talk about elements of overtraining, signs of overtraining, causes of overtraining, and how you can avoid it in order to maximize your muscle and strength gains.
Direct core training will not only improve abs aesthetic–a stronger core will positively impact your core lifts such as squat, deadlift, pull-up, and bench press.
Cutting Done Right - Lose Fat and Build MuscleHugo Harrison
The three most important factors for weight loss are: (1) Good diet with plenty of leafy greens and protein, making sure daily calorie intake is below maintenance; (2) Cardio training coupled with some form of weight training to preserve lean muscle mass; (3) At least 7 hours of sleep.
After fasting, you’ll feel more energized, healthier and somehow purified. Food will taste better and be better processed by your digestive system, and chances are you will find it easy break through previous plateaus in terms of weight training. If your goal is to diet after the fast, it’s a great jump-start since it ditches a few pounds right off the bat.
Standing will yield a higher exercise intensity because more of your muscles are involved in the lift. Standing should also be your preference if you’re looking for improvements in power, performance and coordination.
Sitting may be more appropriate for you if you are working with heavy weights. Although you can stand while lifting heavy, you’ll likely fatigue quickly and experience a breakdown in proper technique, which could lead to injury. Sitting is also preferable if you’re working on isolating specific muscles.
Nitrogen balance is a measure of nitrogen consumption minus nitrogen excretion. Lifting weights puts your body into a catabolic state–that is, it breaks down muscle tissue for later rebuild, thus excreting nitrogen.
Protein is the only macronutrient that has nitrogen as a constituent inside its chemical make-up. As such, the fundamental way to achieve a state of positive nitrogen balance is to have nitrogen consumption exceed nitrogen excretion, i.e. increase protein intake.
Rest between sets and exercises has as large an impact on your fitness as the number of sets and reps do. If your breaks are too short, you rob yourself of their benefits, or worse, increase your risk for injury. If they’re too long, you’re not exercising hard enough. This can mean less than optimal muscle and strength gains. The sweet spot is based on your workout goal and the exercise movement you perform.
Ketones are produced if you eat very few carbs (that are quickly broken down into blood sugar) and only moderate amounts of protein (excess protein can also be converted to blood sugar).
On a ketogenic diet your entire body switches its fuel supply to run almost entirely on fat. Insulin levels become very low and fat burning increases dramatically. It becomes easy to access your fat stores to burn them off. This is obviously great if you’re trying to lose weight, but there are also other less obvious benefits, like for example less hunger and a steady supply of energy.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

Dr Sujoy Dasgupta presented the study on "Couples presenting to the infertility clinic- Do they really have infertility? – The unexplored stories of non-consummation" in the 13th Congress of the Asia Pacific Initiative on Reproduction (ASPIRE 2024) at Manila on 24 May, 2024.
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.
Anti ulcer drugs and their Advance pharmacology ||
Anti-ulcer drugs are medications used to prevent and treat ulcers in the stomach and upper part of the small intestine (duodenal ulcers). These ulcers are often caused by an imbalance between stomach acid and the mucosal lining, which protects the stomach lining.

4. Advantages of HIIT
•It saves time.
•Because HIIT is an anaerobic activity like weight lifting, it will actually help you
preserve muscle mass.
•You boost HGH levels, which help you burn fat and preserve muscle.
•It mimics real life situations where you actually perform short intense bursts of
activity.
6. Disadvantages of HIIT
•It’s hard. If you’re going to do HIIT, then you can’t half-ass it. If you’re told sprint for
30 seconds, then you better perform your best attempt at an all out sprint for 30
seconds.
•HIIT can impair recovery. This is not a workout that you can do every day.
•HIIT does not go well with a super low calorie diet.
8. The most common misconception that deters people from trying HIIT is the
notion that it is only for certain people. It is too hard.
While HIIT is certainly challenging, the important thing is the amount of effort you
put in, and you can easily tweak the variables in HIIT to suit your fitness level. In
other words, the high-intensity component of HIIT is relative to each individual.
9. Due to the relative nature of HIIT, we believe it can be performed by (almost)
everyone.
However, we are certainly not saying that everyone should do it; nor is HIIT
necessarily the best thing since sliced bread. The best form of exercise is the one
that you will actually do, and do safely.
