Will “Cheat Day” Ruin My Progress?

Published by superadmin on June 5, 2022 | Leave a response

At Iron Fit, we provide a nutritional program that will help you eat healthier and change your eating habits. We believe that’s the healthiest and best way to help you lose weight. However, some people still diet and to avoid several downfalls, schedule a cheat day. What is a cheat day? It’s a day that restrictions are dropped or partially removed. The dieter can eat their favorite junk food or overindulge. It’s not done frequently, but the belief is that it can actually help you lose weight.

The theory is that the cheat day boosts the metabolism.

Based on the theory of boosting metabolism, the idea that your body has more calories to burn, so the metabolism increases to do that, eating more occasionally should either rev up your metabolism or keep it running higher. According to the theory behind cheat days, the body also increases the amount of leptin—the satiety hormone, so you’ll feel full faster. Whether that is true is still up for debate. Cheat days have been found to boost metabolism, but only from 3 to 10% during a 24 hour period.

Replace the glycogen stores in the muscles with cheat days.

One thing that is also addressed with cheat days, is the diminishing glycogen stores caused by a super low calorie diet. Your workout won’t be as good when that happens. You’ll get tired quicker and that can increase the potential for injury. When you have a cheat day, the glycogen reserves are replenished. Much like carb loading before a marathon, it can improve your performance.

A less aggressive approach is a cheat meal, rather than a cheat day.

There are two ways to approach this method. One is a cheat day when everything from sunrise to sunset are no longer off limits. In fact, some people actually eat as much as three times their daily calorie allotment. The other type is the less aggressive cheat meal. It’s a more compact version of the cheat day, where one meal is the “anything goes” style and the rest are within calorie restrictions. No matter what method you use, if you stick with a program of healthy lower calorie eating the rest of the days, you’ll still lose weight, but perhaps at a slower rate.

If you have a serious condition, such as blood pressure irregularities, high cholesterol or diabetes, cheat days and even strict dieting that goes with it, may not be right for you. Always check with your doctor first.
People with eating disorders should also avoid strict dieting with the occasional cheat day. It can create a cycle of extremely strict dieting, then binging on other days.
For some people, cheat days and cheat meals are perfect. It gives them a psychological edge that tells them they aren’t giving up their favorite foods forever and get to indulge in them on cheat days.
We provide a healthy menu that’s personalized for your needs. You won’t have to have a cheat day, since the menu isn’t restrictive. If you slip and eat a dessert or candy bar, you simply continue on with healthy eating without feeling guilty.

Why Am I Craving Sweets?

Published by superadmin on May 25, 2022 | Leave a response

If you’re craving sweets, it can happen at any hour, but some people find it normally occurs in the wee hours of the morning, about 1 or 2 AM. It may wake you up or prevent you from ever falling asleep. For some, anything sweet, even if it’s sugar on toast, will do. Once you that perfect sweetness makes it to your mouth, you can go back to bed and rest easy. What causes that craving? Is it an addiction to sugar and you’re having withdrawals or something else?

There’s no doubt about it, sugar is addictive.

Think about the pleasure you get when you taste that first bite of a candy bar that you like. It melts in your mouth and not long afterward, you get a rush of energy. That satisfied feeling comes from changes in the brain that occur, which are similar to those that occur with cocaine. It is part of the brain’s reward system, which releases dopamine, the hormone that makes you feel good. One short animal study gave animals unrestricted access to sugar water for an hour a day and at the same time gave normal food. They focused on only the sugar water, just as cocaine addicts tend to focus only on cocaine, forgetting other needs. Just like all addictions, when that rush wears off, you’ll crave sugar again.

How does that affect your sleep?

Everyone is unique, but for the majority of people, that rush of sugar boosts the energy level. A sudden withdrawal can cause sleeplessness and keep you awake, craving the next “hit” of sugar. If you’re trying to withdraw from sugar, it can cause insomnia and craving. If that sugar low occurs during the day, you’ll also crave it, but it won’t be as noticeable as it is late at night. It can become a vicious cycle, where the more you eat, the more you’ll crave it and the more you’ll eat.

Maybe your body is lacking other types of nutrients.

Sugar comes in many packages. Some contain other nutrients your body needs. Is it a specific type of sugar, like chocolate? You may have a micronutrient deficiency, such as magnesium. Chocolate is a good source of magnesium, which may be what your body really needs. If you think that may be the problem, either opt for dark chocolate with the highest cacao content or foods that contain magnesium, like nuts, seeds and dark leafy greens.

Is your gut microbiome balanced? Too much sugar can cause an overgrowth of yeast. Yeast love sugar. To help reduce your cravings, cut out sugar and eat probiotic foods like sauerkraut, yogurt or kimchi to replenish the beneficial bacteria and get back in balance.
You may be craving sugar because you’re not getting enough calories during the day and too few carbs. The body requires carbohydrates to make serotonin that helps you sleep. It kept caveman awake to hunt for food in lean times.
Look at your emotions. Sometimes people eat their way through problems and sugary treats are certainly comforting. If the problem is more psychological than biological, try unsweetened applesauce instead.
You can deal with sugar craving by diverting your attention. Go for a walk, exercise or drink a glass of water. If you’re eating candy and sweets out of habit, keep them out of your home and form a new habit, like eating a piece of fruit.

Is Honey Bad For You?

Published by superadmin on May 15, 2022 | Leave a response

If you’ve never been to one of the bee ranches near San Antonio, Texas, it can be an education. What is honey? How bees make it is amazing. Forager bees collect the nectar of flower, then consume that nectar, storing it in their crop—honey stomach—taking it back to the hive. It’s not digested, but regurgitated into the crop of a processor bee at the entrance of the hive. Processor bees have an enzyme, invertase, that is mixed with the honey when they regurgitate it into the comb cells. That breaks the sucrose and water from the nectar down to glucose and fructose. Then the bees remove the water from the nectar by flapping their wings and increasing air flow.

Honey has its downside.

The nectar collected is sucrose. That’s table sugar. It’s converted to glucose and fructose. Both of these are simple sugars. Sugar, no matter what form, has calories and isn’t healthy used in higher quantities. Babies under a year shouldn’t be given honey. The ripening process removes the water to a point no microbes can grow. Once it’s dry, it’s capped with a wax seal. While there are no live microbes, there still can be spores, like botulinum spores. Once consumed they can become viable. For adults, it’s not a problem, but babies have undeveloped immune systems that can’t fight them off, so it can be dangerous to give to infants.

Clear honey looks more inviting, but is it better for you?

When you process honey, it makes it clearer. The more processed it is, the clearer it is. Raw honey is hazier because it contains more beneficial enzymes and pollen. It has minerals, antioxidants and many health benefits. Many doctors and medical groups endorse giving natural honey with lemon as a treatment for coughs. It has anti-inflammatory properties to reduce inflammation that can cause heart disease, Alzheimer’s, cancer and autoimmune disorders.

The type of nectar used to make the honey determines the health benefits.

Acacia honey is honey that comes from the black locust trees, also known as false acacia. It can help treat resistant bacteria and certain types of cancer. Buckwheat honey may be the top choice for coughs and scratchy throats because it’s high in antioxidants. It’s also known for wound healing and lowering cholesterol. Manuka honey, originally only found in New Zealand, comes from the honey of the manuka bush. It is exceptional in treating diabetic ulcers and burns. It keeps the area moist, while reducing inflammation. It’s also antibacterial and maintains the proper pH for healing. All are important to help proper healing.

Honey has different colors and flavors based on the pollen used. Wildflower honey is pale and is excellent for cough suppression and fighting seasonal allergies.
Basswood honey has a light delicate taste. It can help with bronchitis and colds. People who have digestive issues often turn to sage honey and to boost immunity for chronic illness, blueberry honey is the solution.
One of the mildest types of honey, which may taste like the sweetest, with an almost buttery taste, is tupelo honey. It has antibacterial and antioxidant benefits.
Orange blossom honey provides immune support. While never proven, many believe that local raw honey can help with allergies.

Benefits Of Weighted Dips

Published by superadmin on May 5, 2022 | Leave a response

Exactly what are weighted dips? To get that answer, you need to know what regular chest dips are. To do a dip, you hold the parallel bars and push yourself up until your arms are straight, leaning forward at a 45 degree angle, bent at the waist. Then pull your toes up toward the back of your shins, while your shoulders are pulled down and back. Hold and slowly lower your body into a dip until the elbows are bent at approximately 90 degrees and parallel to the floor. Push yourself back up into straight arm position.

Now you add weight to the dip.

You need parallel bars, a weighted dip belt and weight plates. It’s best to do these in the gym with a trainer watching, to make sure you have proper form. You start by putting the dip belt around your waist with the side for the chain in front. Put the carabiner through the belt loop to tighten, attach the weight plate on the side hanging then loop it around and clip it to the other side of the belt. Now you do the dip, but with the weight around your waist.

How do weighted dips benefit your body?

If you want to build upper body strength, weighted dips can certainly help you do it. They can build the muscles in the chest, shoulders and triceps, plus improve the strength of the muscle in the upper and lower back. They not only add strength, they can help build mass. Weighted dips work opposing muscle groups at the same time.

You can do variations.

You don’t have to use the dip belt and weight plates to do weighted dips, you can use a specially made weighted vest or take it one step further. Instead of attaching the weight to the upper body, try lifting a dumbbell between your ankles as you’re doing dips. You’ll need a helping hand to do this. You have to have someone put the dumbbell into place, between your ankles, once you’re in position on the dip bars.

Before you ever attempt to do weighted dips, which are more advanced, make sure you can do at least ten repetitions of regular chest dips. Start with lower weights and work toward more weight as you improve.
Always take precautions and let your trainer know of any preexisting conditions that this exercise might exacerbate. Never do weighted dips if you’re pregnant.
Ensuring you have proper form is extremely important. Keep your head and neck stable and make sure your elbows bend to the side, not out toward the back when you go up and down. By leaning slightly forward, you’re making sure the exercise works the chest.
Always give your body 48 to 72 hours of rest between sessions where you’re doing this or other upper body strength building exercises. It allows the body to heal and build muscle tissue.

Why Cardio Workouts Are Important

Published by superadmin on April 25, 2022 | Leave a response

No matter where you train or how you train, you need all types of workouts to become fit. Strength training is important, but so are flexibility, balance and cardio workouts. Luckily, many of these workouts can be combined and done at the same time. If you’re doing HIIT training, regardless of the type of exercise you’re doing, it’s cardio. Other names for cardio training are aerobic and endurance training. It can be as simple as walking flight of stairs or more complicated like pushing through circuit training with very little rest between stations.

Aerobic literally means “with oxygen.”

You need a fit cardio-vascular system to intake the oxygen you need for moving and functioning. The heart pumps the blood and the lungs supply the oxygen for it. The oxygen rich blood is sent to every cell in the body. When you exercise, you increase circulation, which increases oxygen and nutrient delivery to every cell. Your heart gets stronger and you breathe deeper, making both more efficient. Your muscles work more efficiently and you build more muscular strength and endurance. Cardio training is necessary for strong muscles, too.

If you’re depressed, perhaps cardio training can help.

Runners’ high is real. It’s the body’s way of helping you get past pain. Early man probably didn’t run for fun, but to stay alive. If he felt sore and wanted to quit too soon, it could mean his life ending. The same is true in battle, after a point of almost exhaustion, the body kicks in hormones like endorphins to make you feel better. These are natural pain relievers. Aerobic—cardio—workouts, provide those endorphins. It improves your mood and boosts your energy level. Feel good hormones include dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin.

No matter what part of your body, cardio helps it function better.

Even your brain benefits from cardio. Increased blood circulation increases oxygen and nutrients to all parts of the body, including the brain. Studies show it can improve cognitive functioning, recall and alertness. In fact, studies show that cardio can help slow dementia and Alzheimer’s too. The brain is 70% water and cardio helps it stay hydrated, while also aiding in the removal of toxins.

Something as simple as walking can boost your cardio health. Try to walk as fast as possible or vary your walking speed to make it a HIIT workout. One study showed that people who had longer and faster strides lived longer.
Cardio workouts can help you sleep better. One of the hormones produced during cardio is serotonin, which is necessary for adequate sleep. A good night’s sleep is not only heart healthy, it helps keep the hunger/satiety hormones in check. The body creates more hunger hormones when you lack sleep.
You need at least 150 minutes of cardio workouts every week. You’ll get some when you workout at the gym, but can fill in the gap on your days off with walking. You can keep sessions as short as five to ten minutes and still get benefits.
Cardio workouts can help lower blood pressure and reduce pain and stiffness of arthritis. It helps maintain blood sugar levels and reduces the risk of osteoporosis if it’s weight bearing, like walking.

Best Workouts For Your Butt

Published by superadmin on April 15, 2022 | Leave a response

We focus on total body workouts at Iron Fit in San Antonio, TX. If clients feel their tushie is too big, overall fitness is important. In order to lose weight in your derriere, you have to lose it all over your body. There is no spot exercise that can magically take weight off a specific area, but there are ways to tone the muscles to make specific areas more toned and tighter. Here are workouts for your butt that will help you get the bootie you want.

Everyone’s body is different.

Bottoms can be totally toned and still not be the shape you want. Some tushies are round, some are heart-shaped, some square and some look like an inverted V. However, with exercise, you can tone that area to make it look its best, even if you don’t have a Jennifer Lopez, Kim Kardashian or Beyonce behind. Start with the legs and work up toward your bottom. Weighted calf raises, jumping rope and going up on toe like a ballerina can give you great ankles and calves. Then move on to the thighs.

Your booty requires toned thighs to look its best.

You can’t just work on your bottom to get the look you want, you have to focus on your thighs, as well. One connects to the other and affects how the other looks. Jumping plyometric squats, where you jump up, landing down in a squat and then jump up again to starting position in rapid succession builds strength in all your leg and butt muscles.

Work the thighs and bum with lateral lunges.

Focus on the total leg and bootie with ballerina plie squats. Your legs are at a wider stance and you turn your feet outward at 90 degrees to do those and go up on toe in a squat position. The width of the feet and how the feet are angled cause you to work a variety of leg and booty muscles. Explosive lunges also work the legs and bum. Explosive lunges start with hands on the hips, lunging forward on one leg, then jumping and switching the leg in front in midair. Continue jumping, switching and lunging for a full minute.

You can do all your squats and lunges as bodyweight exercises, but if you want to add a challenge and build muscle faster, hold dumbbells or other weight as you do.
Core exercises are also good for the derriere. A bridge exercise is one of those. Lie on your back on the floor with knees bent and your hands at your sides. Lift your hips five inches off the floor. Hold as you press your palms to the floor and squeeze your butt muscles for four seconds. Relax and repeat.
You can do mini workouts for the legs everywhere, even at work. Chair squats, like a squat but your bottom lightly touches the chair, but you don’t put your weight on the seat, are excellent for your bottom.
Our trainers at Iron Fit will create a workout that will help you reach your fitness goal quickly, even if you only want a better looking backside. You’ll get the benefit of achieving that goal and more.

Ever Tried Workouts With Bands?

Published by superadmin on April 5, 2022 | Leave a response

There are a lot of ways to build strength. Bodyweight workouts, battle ropes and workouts with bands or weights are a few. While most people think of weights the minute they hear strength-building, resistance bands can be just as beneficial. You have to focus more on working muscles on a variety of planes, since gravity isn’t the providing the resistance. Bands are about the resistance of the stretch.

Resistance bands are excellent for the newbie that wants to workout at home.

Free weights and barbells are not only more expensive than bands, but also harder to store. You can tuck the bands in a drawer but need a full corner to store a complete set of weights. Bands come in different colors to indicate how much resistance they provide, but a whole pack with a variety of resistance weights would require less space than one dumbbell. They’re also far less expensive. In fact, most cost less than the shipping and handling on weights.

Your need determines what is best.

If you’re doing strength-building, but aren’t looking for a lot of bulk, then resistance bands are perfect. If you’re going for a competition bodybuilder body, look more to free weights. You can do it with resistance bands, but it requires more planning and thought. To get that type of body, you have to focus on progressive overload, increasing sets and reps as you improve and increasing intensity.

Building muscles is all about trying to move something that resists that movement.

The weight of dumbbells, kettlebells and barbells work against gravity to resist movement. It’s Newtons law of motion—an object at rest remains at rest—that helps you move the sandbags and medicine balls. With resistance bands, it’s all about the resistance of the rubbery stretch of the bands. No matter what the resistance is, when you’re going against that force, you’re building muscles. How you hold your body and move that object makes the difference on which muscles you work.

Many people consider weights the gold standard, since it provides constant resistance, where bands only provide resistance when they’re stretched to the maximum.
Bands can be a benefit if you’re bored with regular weights. They’re excellent for the home gym and great for people who travel frequently. They’re also good for flexibility training and rehabbing muscles.
Bands let you train differently. The difference allows a more well-rounded approach to your workout, since they also help stabilizing muscles. While you may not want to make them your only tool, they’re a good addition to a well-rounded program.
Some people don’t use resistance bands, since they’re allergic to latex. They now come in a non-latex version. Always inspect your bands for wear and tear before every workout.

How Much Sodium Daily Is Healthy?

Published by superadmin on March 25, 2022 | Leave a response

Sodium is necessary for regulation of blood pressure, nerve functioning, muscle contraction and regulating the volume of the blood, but you can get too much. If you cut out all the salt you sprinkled on meals, you might still have more sodium daily than what is actually healthy. Sodium is beneficial for the body, but many of the foods we eat have sodium chloride and other forms of sodium already added when food is packaged, bottled, canned or frozen.

Why do manufacturers add sodium?

In the average American diet, more than 70% of the sodium comes from the commercial and manufacturing of food with less than 30% found naturally in food or sprinkled on at the table. It’s added for several reasons. One is for flavor, but it also extends shelf life and helps reduce the growth of microbes and preserve the food. That limits the potential for foodborne illnesses.

How much sodium do you need every day.

That answer varies. If you workout and sweat or live in a hot area and are out in the sun, you need more sodium to replace the sodium lost through perspiration. Your age, weight and sex are other variables. However, on the average, anyone older than 14 years old should limit their consumption of sodium to 2,300 mg per day or less or face the risk of health conditions like high blood pressure. If you have hypertension, reducing sodium intake to 1,500 mg per day is recommended.

Sodium is an acquired taste.

Like sugar, the more salt you put on something, the more your taste buds adapt to the higher intake. Reducing the amount of sodium you add slowly can make it easier and keep food palatable and delicious. Cutting out many of the highly processed manufactured foods can dramatically reduce the intake of sodium, plus lower the intake of other ingredients like refined flour and sugar.

You can improve the taste of food without the salt shaker and also boost the nutrient content by adding herbs. Sprinkle on some basil instead and you’ll boost your memory, reduce strokes and lower your blood pressure.
If you like spicy chili, put away that salt shaker and get creative. Adding cinnamon or cinnamon basil can bring out the flavor. Both also help lower, not raise blood pressure.
When you eat prepackaged food, check the food labels for the number of milligrams of sodium per serving. The words salt, sodium and soda in the ingredients list are also a giveaway. MSG is high in sodium. It’s the acronym for monosodium glutamate.
There are ways to reduce sodium if you’re on a budget and using canned vegetables. For instance, you can drain and rinse green beans if they have sodium added to reduce the sodium content.

Teas That Help Reduce Bloating

Published by superadmin on March 15, 2022 | Leave a response

Normally people think of traditional teas, like green tea, black tea, Darjeeling and Earl Gray, which are all teas made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, picked at various times and processed different ways. However, there are other types of tea, such as peppermint tea, hibiscus tea and other herbal creations that are not only delicious, but also have some health giving properties. While some teas can boost your immune system, others are more beneficial for immediate results, like those that reduce bloating.

Peppermint tea is probably one of the most popular for stomach issues.

Peppermint tea is soothing for the stomach and also great to relieve a stuffy nose. The flavonoids in peppermint tea can help slow or stop the overactivity of the mast cells in your stomach, which are responsible for bloating. It also helps soothe the pain, based on studies showing it’s effective for both bloating and the pain it causes. It’s the peppermint oil in the tea that provides the benefits and it six times stronger in a cup of tea than in peppermint oil capsules.

If your mother made you ginger tea or gave you ginger ale for stomach problems, she was right.

Ginger is soothing for the stomach and studies show that ginger capsules can provide aid for nausea and bring relief for stomach distress. It helps speed up how fast your stomach empties, which aids in reducing bloating cramping and other digestive issues. The root of the ginger plant is used and it’s the gingerols in the root that’s infused in the hot water when you steep the grated ginger root.

Chew a fennel seed or steep some tea.

Licorice is good for digestion and so is its impersonator, fennel. It has a taste that also compares to anise or cumin. If you’ve ever sprinkled fennel seed onto a pizza or simply chewed a fennel seed, you know it has that delicious anise flavor that often complements Italian or Chinese cooking. Fennel tea is traditionally used for bloating, gas, constipation or abdominal pain. Animal studies showed it can provide some protection from bloating and even ulcers. Another study done on nursing-home patients showed fennel helped prevent constipation.

Many companies provide herbal teas, including ginger, but you can make your own by slicing ginger root and putting it in boiling water for ten minutes. Remove the root and enjoy the relief it provides.
If you want an ornamental plant that returns each spring because of self-seeding, grow your own fennel. In the fall the flower heads die leaving seeds you can gather and a bulb that can be steamed and eaten.
Lemon balm and chamomile tea also help reduce bloating, gas and nausea. Both can also help you sleep. Lemon balm is also a natural bug repellent and may slow age-related memory loss.
Always check with your health care professionals before using natural supplements or herbal teas, especially if you’re taking medication, as they can interact with some meds.

Black Seed Oil Can Be Used For Alternative Healing

Published by superadmin on March 5, 2022 | Leave a response

Herbs and spices have long been used for medicine and to add flavor to local cuisine. Today we focus on herbs as primarily a way to make food taste better, but adding spice to meals also boost your health and actually be an alternative healing technique? In San Antonio, Texas, many people are looking at black seed oil, which comes from the seeds of the N. sativa plant, for both its culinary and health benefits. It’s called black caraway, black cumin, black seeds and kalonji. It has a hint of the aromas of onion, oregano and black pepper and can be used like oregano or cumin for pickles, bread or curry dishes.

Why look into alternatives and preventatives.

There are many philosophies on medicine, but one thing most doctors agree with is the philosophy that the medicine should cause less harm than the condition it’s fighting. It’s the reason many people are looking at ways to help prevent serious problems by focusing on staying healthy, rather than fighting disease. The use of antibiotics, for instance, has caused a strain of superbugs that have mutated to resist most antibiotics. These superbugs kill up to 90,000 people each year and the number grows each year. If you go to the hospital, you have a 5 to 10% potential of getting infected with a superbug. Studies show that black seed oil and oregano oil were effective in inhibiting several strains of superbugs that were resistant to antibiotics.

What gives black seed oil its antimicrobial potency.

Black seed oil contains several phytonutrients, like thymohydroquinone, thymoquinone and thymol. When used alone they are powerful protectors but boost the effectiveness exponentially when used together in proportions found naturally in black seed oil. Studies show that the oil can slow or prevent MRSA found in nursing homes and hospitals. It’s been shown effective for candida ablicans overgrowth, athletes’ foot and even herpes. In the lab, black seed oil inhibited replication of HIV-1, herpes simplex, hepatitis A and C, influenza, and even found more effective against covid 19 than hydroxychloroquine in slowing replication.

Protect your heart and respiratory system.

Black seed oil has been studied extensively and a review of those studies showed it’s an effective remedy for respiratory disease like allergies and emphysema. One study using guinea pigs showed it even protected the lungs against mustard gas! An extract of black seed oil helped reduce the symptoms of asthma by widening the bronchioles and letting air into the lungs. It helps lower blood pressure and regulate cholesterol levels of HDL, LDL and triglycerides in the blood.

Many parts of your body can benefit from the anti-inflammatory properties of black seed oil. It can reduce the swelling and pain of rheumatoid arthritis; help prevent other diseases associated with inflammation.
Black seed oil has been found effective as a complementary treatment for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes but in differing ways. It improves glucose tolerance without side effects compared to metformin that’s often used for diabetics.
It’s been used for centuries for skin problems and is good for treating skin inflammation, eczema, rashes, psoriasis and acne when dabbed on the skin.
Black seed oil has antibacterial benefits aids ulcers and diarrhea. It promotes liver health, aids in weight loss and has been used to prevent hair loss and improved scalp and hair health. Always check with your health care professional first before using for health issues.
