Reason why a lot of Health and Fitness Athletes are dying from a last couple of years!

I account above to an unplanned use and overuse of protein powder or whey powder. In developing countries where athletes run out of money for their dietary and supplementary needs and as Bodybuilding is a very expensive game, they take protein or whey powder as one and only cheap and best way to fulfill their dietary and supplementary needs.  For that, they seem overusing it repeatedly and taking it anytime and any extent they feel they need that. It can be seen athletes taking one scoop of protein powder in every half an hour while working out intensely in gym. There is a psychological fact behind this as well. A good whey protein powder costs $37-$40 in market. With that much cost and feeling a scoop of protein powder will provide them all nutrients with at least 25g of protein, athletes are overdoing it. How whey is being extracted from milk is a matter of concern. There is a very vast volume of cheese consumption in developed countries and it’s becoming popular in developing countries with time. In cheese factories, the pure cheese is being separated from its water content. This water content has small chunks and particulates of cheese floating on water. Whey protein factories separate those chunks and particulates through evaporation and process it to makeover whey protein that is being used by customers or athletes throughout the world. But we have to think, why those chunks and particulates float on so called water. The reason is they have higher plasticity thus lower density than pure cheese that has been separated and processed for use. The low density and high plasticity make them lighter to float. 

When athletes overuse whey protein they get in market and cause its plasticity is higher, the alveoli of their lungs slowly start to get blocked with it with time. And a time comes when the normal functioning of their lungs is rendered ineffective. This atypical lung failure may be the reason why a lot of Health and Fitness athletes are dying from a last couple of years. 

Drawbacks of doing cardio over the limit

High fatigue levels: You put extra effort and will to get to your ever increasing targets thus your fatigue levels are higher with time that may bring a lots of complications. 

Chronic soreness: Your extra effort and ever increasing will make your muscles and joints fatigued. Thus, your muscles are in a state of great stress which brings chronic soreness to your muscles and joints. 

High heart rate: Your heart pumps more blood and more quickly that increases your resting heart rate.

Joint pain, arthritis, arrhythmia, atherosclerosis, cardiovascular complications and diseases: Higher level of effort and exaggeration brings MSK, neurological and cardiovascular injuries, pain and impairments. 

Cause easy workout or errands feel harder: Your higher fatigue level, muscle and joint soreness, less energy and less motivation makes your easy jobs feel harder. 

Low energy: As you burn more calories than a limit, you may feel less energy and enthusiasm even doing simple tasks.

Getting sick often: As you have soreness, less energy and fatigue, and high level of stress your balance in life may be negatively impacted causing sickness often. 

Binge eating: Extra burned calories and high level of fatigue may cause binge eating. 

Lack of motivation: You feel lethargic whole day which makes you feel lack of motivation doing your duties.

You can gain weight: Extra cardio activity,  binge eating and adversely impacted sleep or sleeping pattern may cause you gain weight. 

Negative impact on your hormones: Your overall homeostasis inc. hormonal balance will be negatively impacted with more cardio activity. 

Loss of muscles mass: Extra cardio activity may burn your muscles if you don’t feed and sleep adequately. 

Your workout will and interest degrades: With high level of fatigue, soreness and stress you will feel less strength, low motivation and lethargic that slowly degrades your will and interest for workout. 

High volume single exercise hypertrophy!

Medium weight high volume exercise is meant for achieving more reps. If you perform multiple-facet of different exercises for same muscle group you get fatigued. Better doing same exercise for only five sets and trying best to achieve more reps. Trying perfecting your form, posture and technique is mandatory. This will enhance sarcoplasm in your muscle stream, enhance capillary development in muscles, enhance endurance or stamina, enhance strength, enhance hypertrophy and improve muscle definition. Just you need trying out a bit more intense workout. 

 

Benefits of Meditation

Increase in concentration: Better neurotransmission and neuropsychology enhances concentration and coherency. 

Improvement in self-esteem and empathy: Self-actualization and self-visualization with changing conditions enhances self-esteem and empathy to nature and natural creations. 

Decrease in stress, anxiety and depression: Overall relaxation achieved through connecting muscles to mind or mindfulness helps out decreasing stress, anxiety and depression. 

Increase in control: Meditation brings control over impairments in joints and muscles and initiates a healing and recovery process. Enhances musculoskeletal balance, coordination and cooperation.

Overcoming bad habits: Regular meditation is a habit itself. It brings complete relaxation, contentment and focus on right things. Self-actualization and self-visualization through meditation enables to analyze pros and cons of each and every thing we do in our lives.

Managing medical conditions: As neurophysiology, neurotransmission, cellular metabolism, digestion, self-control and self-regulation is enhanced with meditation, all healing, recovery and remedy processes are accelerated which helps us in managing medical conditions. 

What is the main purpose of exercise therapy?

Encourage activity while reducing the effects of overactivity, resulting in increased neuromuscular functionality

Extend your normal range of motion by proper stretching and strengthening joints and tendons

Strengthen the weak muscles by enhancing neurophysiological activity and muscular hypertrophy

Enhance your performance in daily activities by increasing endurance/stamina, strength and power

Allow for interdependency by decreasing ambulation

Relax the tense muscles, tendons, and fascia by avoiding all soreness and stress and decreases disease ability

Increase your circulation of blood into muscles and joints through better heart conditioning and proper neuromuscular tension

Increase your respiratory capacity through enhancing aerobic capacity

Enhance your coordination through musculoskeletal coordination and cooperation

Reduce your rigidity by increasing musculoskeletal mobility, balance and muscular toning and conditioning

Improve your balance by improving body deformities and imbalances through proper exercise, nutrition and lifestyle management

Improvements in motor or sensory function through proper neurotransmission

Medication reduction, fewer hospital visits, and improved overall health through regular exercise, proper nutrition and better lifestyle management 

 

10 BENEFITS OF PHYSICAL THERAPY

MANAGE AGE-RELATED HEALTH

ISSUES: Regular physical therapy is very helpful with growing age as it ensures proper health, well being and longevity through curing physical impairments and improving limitations and decreasing disease ability 

MANAGE NEUROMUSCULAR

CHRONIC CONDITIONS: It helps stabilize your  neuromuscular health through proper proprioception

TREAT WOMEN'S HEALTH ISSUES: Women’s get obese and obsolete with growing age so can get greater benefits with regular physical therapy. Their prenatal and postnatal health and overall health is affirmatively impacted by regular physical therapy

Should I do a bit heavy weight training or keep it a bit low?

Heavy weight training definition is - When you make extra effort to pull or push a bit more weights. This means, not only your muscles or muscles tendons will make extra effort but your ligaments and joints will also make extra effort to compensate extra torque provided through extra load or weight. As I have experienced, when you work out with medium weight your form and posture is not compromised and you don’t exaggerate. This will keep liable tension to your muscles and muscles groups even on joints. In contrary, when you make extra effort to push or pull more weights your respective bones attached to respective muscles will be pulled or pushed outside their limit. Every time you push or pull heavy weight, due to extra tension gaps between different joints is increased. This may cause ligaments tare over time and you may have different complications related to bones and joints like osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, joint pain, joint swelling, joint bending or curvature, limbs or joints dislocation and many more. 

So, it’s wise to keep your weight medium not low so that we can grow exponentially. But always performing heavy weight training may bring a lots of physical and mental complications, impairments and challenges with growing age. It’s not good always performing heavy weight training for your permanent health, fitness, wealth, wellbeing and longevity.
