The first one is growth hormone. Remember that this is the antiaging, fat-burning, lean-body-mass-producing hormone, which also helps prevent the breakdown of proteins—like your bones, muscles, hair, skin and nails.

I can’t tell you how many people just cannot get enough restful quality sleep at night. Your sleep is controlled by hormones, and these hormones are affected by darkness and light. The entire cycle is called the circadian rhythm. The term circadian comes from the Latin circa, “about,” and dies, “day,” meaning literally “about a day.” You typically go through four 90-minute cycles of sleep during the night, each one ranging from light sleep to deep, rejuvenating sleep. If everything is working, you can go to sleep, stay asleep, and …

Is there a way to burn fat using the same amount of time exercising?Exercise in itself doesn’t trigger fat burning. The process of exercise doesn’t “heat your body” and melt the fat off. That’s called sweating and losing water weight.

Dr. Berg offers his thoughts on the value of some of the most popular diets around today, including Atkins, South Beach, Mediterranean, Caveman, Low-Carb, and Low-Fat diets.

Nutrients (vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and fatty acids) are the foundation of a healthy body.

All of the benefits of exercise occur during recovery, not during the exercise itself.
There are three components of exercise, (1) duration, (2) intensity and (3) recovery (below). Frequency is just a repeat of …

Could it be that the diet program you’re doing is the wrong one for your body?
When I first got married, I surprised my wife by making here an incredibly delicious desert. It was my first attempt and really didn’t have time to read all steps in the cookbook, which was a small omission, later turning into a huge disaster.
