Mens Health 300 Workout - March 2007

You can find the very popular "300" workout in this month's issue (March 2007) of Mens Health magazine. Check out the 300 workout challenge.

And here's my favorite quote from the April '07 MH, from an actor asked about when he works out...

"I go to the gym early in the morning. I don't even think about it. I just go."

That's what you have to do sometimes. Just go. Don't think. Don't let your mind play tricks on you, arguing you out of a great training session.

Back to the best tips from the magazine...

The top 3 fruits you should buy organic whenever possible:
peaches, apples, strawberries. I'll make you track down the magazine to find out the 3 fruits that are fine to buy without choosing organic.

I'm sure by now you don't need to be told that fast food is bad for you (do you?). But can you guess how many calories are in a meal of 10 chicken nuggets, large fries, and a large soda?

1340.

Ouch.

And MH also quotes research stating that since soda pop doesn't fill you up, you'll end up eating more calories at any meal when you choose that as your beverage. Again, not groundbreaking info, but something you might want to pass on to a friend.

MH also reports that chewing gum can help curb food cravings. In addition, brushing your teeth after dinner is another way to help prevent eating un-necessary calories.

And now some tips from Women's Health (caught these in their online newsletter in an article about Eating for Life Extension):

"By eating right, you maximize the probability that you won't develop conditions like diabetes or Alzheimer's," says James Joseph, Ph.D., a neuroscientist at the USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University.

Natural foods contain "thousands of compounds that interact in complex ways, and if you take one out, there's no predicting how it will function on its own," says Frank Hu, Ph.D., associate professor of nutrition and epidemiology at the Harvard School of Public Health. He points out that large-scale trials of individual antioxidant supplements have been largely disappointing.

A recent study in the Journal of Food Science found that, of all 77 U.S. brands tested, Stash Darjeeling Organic Green Tea delivers the greatest number of catechins (catechins are the compounds associated with the health benefits of Green Tea).

And a mug a day of Green Tea will decrease your chance of developing high blood pressure by 46 percent. Drink more and reduce your risk by 65 percent.
