Concentrated food for Healthy Body

Concentrates haven't always been harbingers of good health. Remember the days spent stirring (and stirring) a frozen log of orange juice in a pitcher of cold water until it dissolved into an ice-cold sugar bomb that you promptly drained? Not-from-concentrate is now all the rage at grocery stores, but in the supplement world concentrated powders and pills derived from extracting nature's vital elements might be the best way to feed your body to meet specific training goals. These six supplements not only represent some of the best extracts on the market but require little if any stirring.

A FISH CALLED DHA

Not everyone enjoys eating fish, or the way the house smells when you cook it. Yet the benefits of the omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil are critical for numerous reasons, not the least of which are muscle growth and fat loss. One key fat with these potent effects is docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

While flaxseeds and walnuts are good whole-food options, they don't provide DHA directly. Instead they yield alpha-lipoic acid, an omega-3 fat that must be converted to DHA in the body, and unfortunately this conversion isn't always plentiful. The good news is that fish oil provides key fats without any conversion needed. Your best bet is to supplement directly or take a high-yield DHA product.

BEST FOR: Fat loss, muscle growth, joint recovery and cardiovascular health

TRY IT: 1-3 grams of a fish-oil supplement 2-3 times per day or 500-1,000 mg of DHA in two divided doses

Take Care of Your Digestive System

In this article, I'm going to suggest a few steps that are likely to yield a much better result. And, of course, reading this article is free.

First, have your doctor evaluate your particular issue. This is always the first step. Consider getting a second opinion. If doctors can't help much, keep reading.

Second, do your own research on the internet. Be cautious though--there's a lot of health advice on the internet that is wrong or even dangerous.

Third, eat a healthy diet. This is essential. "Don't eat man made foods." Eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. Avoid candy, cookies, chips, foods made from white flour and other junk foods.

Fourth, exercise. This can be as easy as walking up a few flights of stairs at work, riding your bicycle or jogging.

Fifth, consider whether or not you are creating your own problem as a result of the pills you are taking. The offending pills can be illegal drugs, over the counter medications, excessive vitamins or other supplements, or even the medication that is being prescribed by your doctor!

Don't allow yourself to worry about your digestive problems. I know that's a lot easier said than done. However, worrying will only make things worse. In fact, if you spend a lot of time worrying, that may make any real progress impossible!

Finally, pray. And get others to pray with you and for you. God is fully capable of doing miracles today. And He does.

So these are my suggestions. I think, if you follow these steps, you can make real progress--even if you've suffered with these issues for a very long time.
