vegetarians findbuild muscles

The myth that vegetarians find it tough to build muscles, stems from the lesser known fact that humans digest animal protein far more than plant protein. "If you are a veggie, simply up your take of high quality protein," says Sunita Pant Bansal, dietician, MH contributor, and author of Healing Power of Food.
"Milk and milk products are easiest to assimilate as their protein content is very high, as have milk, cheese, cottage cheese, and dahi." And sprouts are another great way to get protein into your body. In fact, sprouting dals and beans breaks their proteins down. "It makes it easier for the body to digest them," says Bansal. Best time to have proteins? Before 6pm, after which the body's metabolism decreases.

Even if your lip balm is crawling with cold bugs, it is unlikely that you will re-infect yourself. "When you have a cold from one particular virus, your body builds antibodies for that particular virus," says Charles Zugerman, an associate professor of clinical dermatology at Northwestern University. The same thing applies to your toothbrush. But if someone else uses your lip balm or, heaven forbid, your toothbrush or tongue-cleaner, there's a slim chance that person could become infected. Viruses don't survive very long on an inanimate surface. They dry out and die as the moisture on the lip-balm evaporates.

A study in the New England Journal of Medicine found that frequent daily cigar smoking may double the risk of throat, laryngeal, nose, oesophageal and lung cancers. Even a few puffs can up heart rate and BP, as well as breathing trouble if you have a lung condition, such as asthma, says study author Carlos Iribarren, MD, PhD. Plus, brains at University of Texas at Austin found that men who chewed 6mg worth of nicotine in gum form for 40 minutes had 23 per cent weaker erections than those who took a placebo-and your average cigar has about 25 times more nicotine than that.

To get bigger arms, you need variety in your workout. Try this triceps kickback on the cable machine. The muscle won't be overloaded through the whole range of motion as it is with a dumbbell, says Michael Mejia, CSCS, trainer and MH advisor. Stand inside the cable station, holding one of the low handles with your left hand. Lean over at the waist so that your torso is almost parallel to the floor, keeping your right knee bent in front and your left leg straight behind.
With your right arm supported on your right knee, start with your left arm tucked in next to your rib cage (A). Keeping your left upper arm parallel to the floor, exhale, and extend your arm until your elbow is straight (B). After pausing momentarily, return the handle to the starting position. Tip: You can use either one end of a rope handle or an underhand grip with a regular handle to stress different segments of the triceps. Do two or three sets of 10 repetitions with each arm.We never argue with history. Spas and saunas have been used for centuries throughout the world-from Himalayan hot springs to Russian banyas- for good reason. "The heat relieves any aches and pains caused by muscle soreness," says Mark Liponis, MD, medical director at Canyon Ranch Spas. Both promote sweating which helps leach toxins like mercury and pesticides from your body. It gets better: Japanese doctors found that 15 minutes of sauna once a day can prevent atherosclerosis by decreasing levels of oxidants known to harden arteries. The heat can also cause your veins to dilate, lowering your BP.
