Multivitamins for Men

Multivitamins for Men – Protect Your Health & Youth – For Life!

Along with a balanced diet and regular exercise, multivitamins are a good way to stay in good Multivitamins for Men
health. Complete multivitamins are usually safe for everyone. You do not have to worry about getting too much of a certain supplement. They give you only what your body needs for the day. When taken as directed, they are not expected to cause serious side effects. Medical community concedes that multivitamins are important for health, but only after decades of denying benefit from vitamins.

Multivitamins for Men

No matter how important it is to take multivitamins and how high the quality of a product is, it is useless if you cannot take it. Most people take daily multivitamins for general well being and to improve overall health. Liquid multivitamins are much easier to swallow for children and seniors. Good, high quality liquid (this form is easier to swallow and has a higher rate of absorption) multivitamins are available at low cost and are advised for all children. Never take more than the recommended dose of multivitamins with iron.

Multivitamins are the most commonly used product in the dietary supplement category. About half of American consumers now use supplements, according to recent surveys. If you have an excellent diet, you may be able to get these essential nutrients without a supplement. But this is often difficult. Supplements and homeopathic remedies have become more affordable to consumers in recent years. An expanding middle class has led to rising income levels. Now, consumers can use new food and supplements to improve eating habits and build a sensible long-term supplement program.

To get the recommended amount of this B vitamin from food alone, you’d have to eat about 8 servings of fruit or 4 to 6 cups of vegetables every day. Even the people who eat healthy food fail to get the recommended daily amount of vitamins and minerals.

No matter how good your diet is, multivitamins are a smart move. Multivitamins are the most convenient way to get vitamins to your body that would otherwise be left out. Multivitamins are also recommended for people with nutrient-depleting diseases.

It is the long-term use of multivitamins for men that is most beneficial, so consumers should resolve to make this a lifelong habit.

Coping with Anxiety When People Aren’t There for You

Sad girl

“People aren’t always going to be there for you. That’s why you need to learn to handle things on your own.” ~Unknown

Anxiety is a box around your mind. It’s the cage in which your deepest worries start to pace, then walk, and gain momentum until they’re out of control.

Once these worries and scenarios take off and hit the walls of this box, they’re trapped, and tension starts building.

It can be an exhausting cycle of stress that you might think you have to face alone if you want to avoid opening yourself up to pity or rejection.

You may think others will judge or stereotype you if they know about your struggle. Or, you might worry that if they do know, they’ll assume you’re either looking for attention or not doing enough to function like everyone else.

Here’s the kicker: You don’t have to function like everyone else. When you struggle with anxiety, just functioning is something to be proud of.

The absence of another’s approval or input when progressing can make you feel like you’re not making improvement at all. It’s hard to pull yourself out of an anxiety attack or downturn of emotions, and it can feel lonely when you think you can’t call on anyone, but there are times when self-reliance is your only option.

How to Read a Recipe and Not Want to Punch a Hole in the Wall

Source: http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2016/06/02/how-to-read-a-recipe-and-not-want-to-punch-a-hole-in-the-wall/

This is a recipe from NF Rebel Chef Noel.

I don’t know about you, but I have never liked reading the instructions for board games. The tutorials at the beginnings of video games bore me to death. When I play a game, I go basic. No fancy moves, no secret codes, and no strategy guides. I figure it out as I go.

I suppose you could say that this is why I’m also not very good at games.

But something has recently begun to change my mind. I attended a game night at a friend’s house, and they told me to go read the instructions for the game we were about to play. They wouldn’t tell me the rules, no, they made me read (the horror!). And when we played, I still didn’t win, but I was far better than I usually was. I could even see how I would be a force to be reckoned with if we played again.

I imagine a lot of you are like me and games when it comes to cooking. It’s not fun. You don’t enjoy it. You tried it once or twice, but you’ve lost interest.

The instructions for a game feel tedious to me, and I wouldn’t blame you if recipes feel tedious for you.

The recipe for a dish is not only the basic instructions, but it’s also a sheet of cheat codes for the cook. So today, we’re going to learn how to use a recipe to your advantage.

Why I Came Back to Meditation After Complete Disillusionment

Source: http://www.sonima.com/meditation/reasons-to-meditate/

There are many reasons to meditate, and lots of reasons why people don’t, or don’t want to. My friend Adam Grant wrote a hilariously grumpy screed in the New York Times late last year about how he’s exhausted with everyone telling him to meditate. You could certainly say meditation is having a moment, but then again, meditation has been having a moment for a while now.

The myriad benefits of meditation practice include lower blood pressure, less anxiety, and a greater ability to focus. A growing body of research supports these and other positive health effects.

I have been meditating since I was three years old, so it is sometimes hard for me to put my finger on what meditation does. I can’t tell you that I am a stress-free, vice-free yogini. While those 36 years of practice—give or take—have given me a lot of quiet, it hasn’t made me quiet. And I should say that I dropped my practice for years, choosing instead a nice glass (or three) of Chablis, or the ease of an anti-anxiety medication, or the rigor of an hour-long trail run. Or countless episodes of Law & Order. All of those things do something for me, which is tune out, for a little while, the chatter in my head.

The Senate’s (mostly unfunded) agenda for the FDA

Source: http://www.foodpolitics.com/2016/06/the-senates-mostly-unfunded-agenda-for-the-fda/

Food Chemical News reports that the Senate Appropriations bill comes with report language instructing the FDA to:

Conduct a risk assessment to see how harmful it really is to eat Listeria-tainted frozen vegetables [these, presumably, would be cooked before eating].  CRF Frozen Foods had to recall of 358 organic products after 7 people became ill.
Release no sodium guidelines before the National Academies of Science has a chance to update the Daily Reference Intake (DRI) for sodium [which will take years].  The report says “it is “imperative that any guidance be issued using the latest sound science…based upon an updated DRI report.”  House directives said the same thing.  [The FDA has just released voluntary sodium guidelines for public comment].
Release its overdue report on food traceability systems: “The Committee directs the FDA to collaborate with science-based international and industry-led food traceability initiatives of the type recommended by the pilot projects…[and] to make publicly available information on FDA’s efforts to encourage…traceability initiatives.”
Reconsider its E. coli standard.  The Senate views this standard as too stringent and disruptive of raw milk cheese businesses.
Actively engage stakeholders in best practice standards for medical foods. “They should work together on “forming a framework for a distinct regulatory pathway for medical foods that does not encumber its progress towards approval for patient …

Today is a really cool day for me and Team Nerd Fitness, as I get to make two massive announcements.

This first announcement is about our flagship program, the Nerd Fitness Academy. 

For those who don’t know, The Academy is an online, self-paced course and fitness “quest” tracking system with over 20,000 students from every corner of the globe. We’re proud of it!

4 Keys To Getting In The Zone [512]

workshop

Flow state. The zone. Those special moments when you feel like you’re able to just let go and do. It’s the feeling of being fully immersed in the activity. You’re able to perform naturally and with ease. You’re totally wrapped up in the moment, and time seems to pause or fall away.

Have you ever been there? Where something just feels spot on? Where everything is clicking and your body is just doing and it feels surreal yet incredible?

“Flow state” is achieved when certain variables all come together. It’s a magical experience and it’s rare to feel totally “in the zone.”

4 Keys To Getting in The Zone

1. Do something you’re incredibly passionate about that really matters to you. This way the activity you’re doing is intrinsically rewarding and you’re receiving the benefits by participating. When you’re excited about the opportunity and enjoying yourself, you’ll  If you’re doing it to appease someone else or because you feel you “should,” it’s less likely you’ll get in the zone.

2. Prep your mind before you start. Remind yourself why you’re doing it, what you want out of it, and what you gotta do to perform well and enjoy yourself. This way your attent…

Homeward Bound!

Hi friends! Matt and I are traveling back to DC today after a wonderful week and a half western Canada hiking extravaganza! Our trip went by way too quickly – we’re sad it’s over already!

You guys weren’t kidding when you said that area of the country is beautiful. Beyond beautiful – we had the best time exploring the Canadian Rockies (and Vancouver)!

I’ll be spending the plane rides today catching up on emails and editing photos (I took approximately 4 million) and will be back tomorrow to resume normal posting. I’m trying to figure out how much detail to share about the trip – I was originally planning to do 3 large recaps (one from each portion of the trip – Banff, Jasper, and Vancouver), but I have so many photos and we di…
