Muscle or Fat

September 19th 2006 09:59
There is nothing worse than a thin figure without definition or tone. Without muscles the feminine figure can never be considered 'ideal'. In an evolutionary sense, we were meant to have strength to carry our young around, and speed to be able to get away from predators. This gave us the ability and neccesity to develope muscles as we grew into adulthood, never the possibilty that we might not manage to maintain our shapely fibres.
Today one can go through one's life without lifting anything heavier than a handbag, so it's no wonder we so many of us our all out of proportion even though we may not be considered 'fat'.

My advice to all women who wish to obtain the best figure possible; do weights, not excessively, not for more than an hour a day (even a few times a week will make a difference), and don't fear that you'll end up looking like She-ra training for the female wrestling world championships, you won't.
What you will have is a muscular system that builds itself in the female proportions it was programmed to, not like the fatty, bulky deposits you see on people who have nothing but skin bone and fat. Muscle will give you smooth toned lines, and help with the cellulite better than any cream will. And you'll look healthy, feminine, as long as you don't over-do it.
It takes a heck of a lot of weight training to look anything like a body builder though so don't stress. And use all areas of the body! Don't spot train unless you already have a built up area, like lower body, and you want everything else to catch up. Keep it varied and fun and most of all keep it regular.

Women Judged for Staying at Home

September 11th 2006 10:25
It absolutely amazes me that post feminism, we are still bombarded with this 'poor you' attitude towards the luckiest people in society, mothers!

Why on earth do shrivelled up old femiinsts insist on the idea that women who chose to stay at home make some kind of sacrifice, that they are missing out on a 'more important meaningful role in society'.

What could possible be more important to society than raising and caring for the next generation? What could possibly be more meaningful than creating another human life and dedicating your self to bring it up a happy, positive human being? We all know the devastating effects of a shaky childhood on one's life, do you think mere acadmia meaningful? Working for money in an office meaningful compared to all this?


Thank god some young women have the strength and grace to fulfill the ultimate task in today's warped world.

The Hunza people in Paradise

September 4th 2006 05:22
The Hunza people are some of the most isolated people in the world, living high up in the mountains of the Himalayas. They were discovered by westerners in the 70s and at the time, it was a remarkable discovery. The Hunza people had prefect teeth but no dentists, they didnt get cancer, heart problems, diabetes or any detectable degenerative disease. And they didn't have doctors.
The Hunzas lived until 110, sometimes up to 130 and more. Scientists were astonished to find that people who were in there triple figures were out playing sport and carrying boulders up and down the mountains.
It is because they were isolated that they were able to live like this, as close to paradise as perhaps we could get.
Their diet totally unprocessed, full of fresh fruit and vegetables in the most nutrient rich soil in the world, with vitamens and minerals quadruple the amount found in the fresh produce of western countries.
The complexion of the women flawless, the strength and energy levels and good nature in abundance. No mental institutions here, not even a hospital.
Now that tourism and trading have opened up the area to our debilitating habits of life, who can say if these people will survive in this way. It seems they are already showing signs of going down hill, even though they try to keep things the way they've been for centuries. Even though they've never had an insect problem, the authorities told them they had to use pesticides on their crops, they used a special charcoal combination with pure water instead, it did the same trick.
I guess the lesson here is, don't fix something that aint broke.

Did you know your body needs vitamen D in order to successfully process calcium? Bet your milk carton doesn't tell you that! 10-20 minutes of sunshine on your bare skin every day is an essentual part of your diet and your health.

But won't I get skin cancer? I hear you rant, you won't get any sun damage if you don't over-do it for the same reason you won't get fat if you don't over-eat. Eating too much, even of the right foods, is bad for us but does that mean we shouldn't eat at all? Of course not. It's the same with the sun. All the hype over the evils of sunshine and never going outside without sunscreen is absurd

There's the Zone. There's the low G.I. There's the 'walk around the clothesline unti you can't walk no more' diet. Any-one else get a light bulb going off when they put these diets together? Gee umm what could they possibly have in common? How about FRUIT, VEGETABLES, WHOLE MEATS and GETTING OFF THE COUCH? How about the same things that humans did instinctively for hundreds of thousands of years before they decided planting a crop of wheat and watching it grow might be easier?
Yes, it's looking like those original couch potatoes stuffed it up for all of us. Prior to the agricultural revolution humans had perfectly dense bones, were 5 inches taller than there neolithic successors, had better teeth than the average westerner with dental plus today, and didn't suffer from Arthritis or any other bone disease we suffer from. No, I didn't just make it up, their health was buried with them in their bones so that scientists today can discover where we went wrong.
Next time you hear someone ask 'does that diet actually work?', try explaining to them what happens when you feed a chimpanzee processed grass seed fried in an oil composed of fat-chains unknown to the natural world and to top it off some chemical agents designed to make it immortal. Add to the that the prospect of tieing that chimpanzee to a chair 8 hours a day and maybe, just maybe the light bulb will go off.

The Creams Don't Work

August 25th 2006 01:31
Every time you flick on the telly it seems there's a newly discovered secret ingredient to make us appear 10 years younger. Last week it was green tea, before that it was vitamen C, an exotic unknown plant with a long name, mud, you get the idea. Does any-one ever stop and think what's really going on here? A cream that has 20% green tea to which has been added a mutlitude of chemicals slapped on your face is going to do what exactly?
It's been said a hundred times before, but if there was a wrinkle smoothing cream out there that actually worked you'd be hard pressed to come acroos someone who looked a day over 30.
The truth is a cream, with all it's micro technology, will never erase wrinkles because the only thing that can regulate the hydration and cell make-up of your skin is your body
