Just as to lose weight there are slow but safe methods, such as a healthy and balanced diet, and shortcuts that can be unhealthy (in addition to ineffective in the medium term), such as undergoing very restrictive diets, also in the field of muscle building there are traps what one can do to get more results in less time.

One of those tricks is the use of anabolic steroids , substances and medications that help to gain muscle mass . But what are they and exactly how do they work? And what is equally important: what can be its side effects?

HIIT or training at high intensity intervals is well known as the most effective method to burn fat , however, its benefits go further and today we show you other advantages of working with HIIT routines to get fit.

Promotes muscle gain and muscle power

A study conducted with athletes last year evaluated changes in muscle power levels before and after performing a HIIT training for six weeks and the conclusions were very positive, finding in addition to power gain that is the strength-muscle speed ratio, an increase in free testosterone levels .

If you are a runner and you are looking for another activity with which to complement your workouts, it is a good idea to take a look at the Pilates classes and studies that are near your home. Remember that running is not just running , and that the specific work of strength, joint mobility and career technique is essential to improve your brands and to run safely.

The Yoga is one of the most fashionable activities in recent years: every time we find more offer classes in both gyms and studios or even different types of associations. And the fact is that the practice of Yoga brings us many benefits for our body and for our mind ( many of them scientifically proven ) and it is an activity that can be practiced by anyone (with their proper progressions and regressions in the postures) regardless of their age, sex or physical condition.

Fats were always the “enemies” of the diets until now , which we know are not the villain of our diet but their consumption is necessary and we should only choose the appropriate alternatives. Therefore, we suggest you eat fat to lose weight of course, looking for healthy fats for that purpose.

Throughout the years when certain foods have been mentioned, we have always taken our hands to the head or they have always been seen as foods to avoid in our diet. The truth is that in the collective feeling these foods occupy a lower position and therefore it is important that we take into account that they are not as bad as they think . Our mission with this post is to end with the stigma of these foods.

Excess calories, excess cholesterol, too much sugar, you should not eat at certain times … These have been some of the statements that we have tired of listening to over time about certain foods. Many of them are totally unfounded or the result of studies that have become obsolete in many cases.

Good morning and welcome to the January cost, those weeks that follow the Christmas holidays and that are felt in your pocket and on the scale. It is the time to lose weight par excellence, the time to propose it as a goal for the new year.

Put to make that effort (lose weight is not easy, and keep it even less), it is best to do so based on what science has shown that works . Of course this is not always easy because some things have not been unequivocally demonstrated so far and the supporters of some ideas and others defend yours as the most appropriate, healthy or effective.

Blue Gold. That is the nickname that mineral water receives, referring to the usual color of the bottles that contain it, but also to the enormous business that has been mounted around it.

A surprising business, where tap water is potable throughout the country, and significantly cheaper . Are there then reasons to pay for drinking bottled water?

We have the Christmas holidays around the corner , and with them come the business lunches and dinners, family events, the Christmas Eve celebrations, the end of the year and the night of kings … And staying true to our diet is done in difficult occasions, so skipping the diet is usually something more common than we think, but then on January 1 we all repent and make new amendment purposes (as every year at this time).

Although we all think that in summer we are only at risk of dehydration, the reality is that in the cold season we are also vulnerable , especially because we are less thirsty, we do not feel the sweat as in summer and we become reluctant to consume foods with high water content . Therefore, we remind you that staying well hydrated in winter is also important and we left nine ideas to achieve it.
