Fat Burning Tips – Use These Tricks Of The Trade

The key to a maintaining a well-toned physique and a healthy body composition is fat burning. There are many ways to approach fat burning, both in your diet and exercise routine. Each approach is effective on its own, but the best results come when you combine them, helping you to burn the most fat that you can at all times. Here are some useful fat burning tips.

STAY WELL HYDRATED
One important tip when it comes to fat burning is a very simple one: drink more water. Since our bodies are made up of over 50% water, being properly hydrated helps your body perform its most basic cellular functions better, like the transportation and burning of fat. The amount of water an individual needs every day varies depending on their activity level, but in general, you should drink at least one ounce of water per two pounds of body weight a day to stay sufficiently hydrated.

FOODS TO AVOID FOR FAT BURNING
Another good fat burning tip is to reduce your consumption of starchy carbs such as pasta, rice and potatoes. This should come as no surprise to anyone who has ever researched this subject, but it’s worth repeating because it’s a very important component of a fat burning regime. Consuming too many complex carbohydrates at once provides your body with more energy and glycogen stores than it needs, so it stores the excess as fat. This isn’t to say you should give up carbs altogether, but you should stick to 3-5 starch servings a day when you are trying to burn fat.

Insomnia Cheat Sheet – Tips For A Better Night Sleep

Has bedtime become a battle that you just can’t win? Insomnia is a health condition that can make it impossible to get a good night’s rest. Tossing and turning, staring at the clock and frequent waking are just a few of the symptoms you may experience. While insomnia is frustrating, it is important to remember that there are some things that can be done. Use this insomnia cheat sheet to identify the underlying cause of your insomnia, and learn a few tricks for finally getting some sleep.

Importance of Curing Insomnia
Some people brag about not needing sleep. Yet, seven to eight hours of sleep is necessary for staying healthy. A lack of sleep can also have serious consequences. For example, your body requires rest for healing. You also build memories during sleep. Daytime drowsiness can also lead to car accidents. Insomnia may also cause problems with your job.

Identifying Potential Causes
You can try to wait out one night of no sleep. However, more than three nights without sleep should be cause for concern. It is important to find out the cause of your insomnia 9the point of writing this insomnia cheat sheet). A journal is a good place to start. Place a journal by your bed. Write down any times you wake up. Also write down things you did before bed. Try to notice patterns in your routine. You can use this log to talk to your doctor. Remember that you may still have to do some detective work to find the cause.

Find A Sport You Love To Get In Shape

Find a sport to play for fun and fitness

What I am going to suggest here is that you find a sport to play. It’s never too late to start a new sport, or go back to an old one (as long as it’s not softball or bowling, please! Not a sport, fun to pound a few beers with the boys though). I started playing
tennis at 41. I can honestly say it’s the greatest thing I
ever did. I love it and I get a great workout every time I play. My hope for all of you is that you can find your “tennis” that motivates you to exercise and compete on a regular basis. To steal a quote from Robert Plant –
