Using Amino Acids In Your Diet

Are you getting the right amount of these Amino Acids to
keep you healthy and help with slimming down?

GLUTAMIC ACID (Non-Essential Amino Acid)

Considered to be nature’s “Brain food” by improving mental
capacities; helps speed the healing of ulcers; gives a
“lift” from fatigue; helps control alcoholism,
schizophrenia and the craving for sugar.

ASPARTIC ACID (Non-Essential Amino Acid)

Aids in the expulsion of harmful ammonia from the body.
When ammonia enters the circulatory system it acts as a
highly toxic substance which can be harmful to the central
nervous system. Recent studies have shown that Aspartic
Acid may increase resistance to fatigue and increase
endurance.

TAURINE (Non-Essential Amino Acid)

Helps stabilize the excitability of membranes which is very
important in the control of epileptic seizures. Taurine and
sulfur are considered to be factors necessary for the
control of many biochemical changes that take place in the
aging process; aids in the clearing of free radical wastes.

CYSTINE (Non-Essential Amino Acid)

Functions as an antioxidant and is a powerful aid to the
body in protecting against radiation and pollution. It can
help slow down the aging process, deactivate free radicals,
neutralize toxins; aids in protein synthesis and presents
cellular change. It is necessary for the formation of the
skin, which aids in the recovery from burns and surgical
operations. Hair and skin are made up 10-14% Cystine.

HISTIDINE (Non-Essential Amino Acid)

Is found abundantly in hemoglobin; has been used in the
treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, allergic diseases,
ulcers & anemia. A deficiency can cause poor hearing.

Ab Tips : From Flabby To Firm

You can work out till you drop, but you will not get flat
abs until you lose the layer of fat in front of the
abdominal muscles. Here are some tips to losing the fat
that forms around your mid-section.

No Hands Push up

Laying face-down with arms extended above the head, lift
chest and lower rib cage off the floor. You may wish to
have a partner hold down your feet. Start with 10-15 reps
and work up 50 reps.

Curl

Sit on the floor with legs spread (wider is easier, narrow
is difficult). Lace your fingers behind your head, and keep
your back straight. Tip to the right, allowing your right
elbow to touch the floor. Keep those elbows drawn back.
Straighten your back and tip to the left. Back and forth.
Do 3 sets of 12 to 15 repetitions.

I recently had my annual physical examination, which I get
once every seven years, and when the nurse weighed me, I
was shocked to discover how much stronger the Earth’s
gravitational pull has become since 1990.
