Are generic drugs cheaper?
Not always, and not by as much as you might think. "If you check drugstore.com, the difference is huge--say, $30 for generic versus $200 for brand name," says Douglas Kamerow, M.D., chief scientist for RTI International, an independent research institute. "But if you have insurance, the difference may not be so big--maybe $3 versus $12." With some drug plans, brand-name meds may actually cost less than their generic equivalents. This happens, for example, when major ... Continue reading ...

You Don't Need to Train Them Every Day-
If you perform ab exercises daily in the pursuit of a perfect belly, you could be overtaxing your muscles. Some train abs 7 days a week and won’t allow for any rest. That just damages the muscles. Focus on abs three or four times a week.
Abs Exercises Alone Aren't Enough-
It’s also important to mix things up: New research published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research shows that doing a routine of core-strengthening exercises alone won... Continue reading ...

A number of supplements are great for packing on muscle. However, if you want to get lean and mean protein is great. You are more likely to get a leaner mid section with whey protein, and not one full of sugar (Myofusion is one of my favorites since it is sugar and aspartame free). Whey protein enhances fat-burning and decreases the manufacture of fat by the liver. Something simpler? try ingesting fish oil to enhance the efficiency of leptin. Leptin is a protein hormone with important effects... Continue reading ...

Why do kettlebells produce results? Because of the way you use them. You don't "workout" or "train" with a kettlebell, you practice. It's like practicing the piano - you try to improve your performance by refining your technique, learning when to work hard and when to relax - you don't just "go through the motions." These concepts can and should be applied to all exercise but it's easy to be mindless when you're on a treadmill or exercise bicycle or swinging lightweight dumbells or pushi... Continue reading ...

On food labels, they base the percentages on a 2,000-calorie adult diet. So looking at the label above for two crackers, a grownup would see that they provide less than 1 gram of fiber, only 3% of the person’s daily needs. So that means he or she would have to eat other foods to get 100% of the fiber needed each day. Similarly, the person would see that the crackers provide nothing toward the daily goals for vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, or iron.Food labels aren’t ideal for kids because t... Continue reading ...
