How To Build Muscle and Avoid The Aging Effects Of Free Radical Damage

Skinny Guy Secrets To Insane Muscle Gain. X Skinny Guy Teachs How To Train And Eat To Gain 20-40 Lbs Of Muscle.

Free radicals are chemicals that are produced through normal metabolic processes that have the ability to "rip" electrons away from the molecules in the walls of your cells as well as essential proteins such as DNA. What's more they tend to be produced in excess with intense activities like body building. If they are not "mopped up" by what have been called natural and supplemented antioxidants the free radicals can lead to many health problems i.e.

Accelerated Aging, Cancers , Heart Disease, Arthritis, Autoimmune Disorders, Alzheimer's, Cataracts, Etc.

One of the main free radicals to be concerned about is a natural biochemical called Superoxide.

This free radical in early life is kept in check, so to speak, by naturally produced biochemicals also called "free radical scavengers" such as superoxide dismutase and glutathione which have a tendency to decline with age. This decline accelerates the aging process because the free radical load rises steadily unchecked unless one's diet is supplemented with antioxidants.

Examples of antioxidants commonly used are: vitamin E, beta-carotene, vitamin A, and coenzyme Q10, vitamin C, glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, and catalase.

Tip! People do not see great results with their muscle building endeavors simply because they are misinformed and misled as to what works and needs to be done. My job as a trainer is to inform and to educate people as to what really works.

In 1994 a Tufts University scientist, Dr. Guoha Cao, developed a new and powerful method for determining the antioxidant capacity of common foods. This test came to be known as the ORAC assay* (which stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity which measures a foods free radical fighting capacity). ORAC assays have become the most sensitive and reliable method for determining a food's capacity to deal with free radicals.

Below I give a list of some common foods and their corresponding ORAC** levels (the higher level is equivalent to greater efficacy):

Ningxia Wolfberry 303

Tip! Lose Fat – As mentioned earlier the only way to get muscle and cuts defined is by losing fat. You can do this in a variety of ways.

Chinese Wolfberry 202

Acai 184

Tip! Reduce rest intervals - giving the muscles less time to recover before exposing them to further work has the effect of increasing intensity.

Pomegranate 105

Prune 57

Body Building & Muscle Gain. 6lbs of muscle in 15 Days. Totally remarkable and Guaranteed. Without the use of drugs.

Blackberry 51

Boysenberry 35

Tip! Find out the proper amount of calories you need to gain muscle weight without adding a lot of fat.

Plum 28

Tip! Adequate carbohydrate availability (to convert to muscle glycogen).

Red Raspberry 27

Strawberry 26

Burn The Fat Feed The Muscle. Diet & Weight Loss Secrets of Bodybuilders and Fitness Models: #1 Best Selling Diet & Fitness E-Book In Internet History.

Orange 24

Cherry 21

Tip! For best results with building muscle and losing fat, 5 days a week, 30 minutes a day is most beneficial. More than 5 days and you risk overtraining.

Garlic 19

Kale 18

Spinach 12

Broccoli florets 9

Beet 8

Tip! Soft-Tissue Treatment*: Soft tissue treatment utilizing Effleurage and Trigger Point Therapy to reduce muscle spasm and relax the tight, restrictive overused muscles can be very effective in correcting muscle imbalances. Utilizing Transverse Friction Massage (TFM) on specifically weak, injured muscles and/or tendons to break down adhesions on the soft tissues can also be very effective in reducing overall pain and dysfunction.

Apple 3

Carrot 2

The Ningxia wolfberry is, according to Tufts, the highest known antioxidant food source. What is even more interesting is that it is also highly endowed with protein as it contains about 15.6% protein by weight and has more protein than Bee Pollen***.

Tip! HEAVY HEAVY HEAVY! Put everything into lifting heavier weights and getting as strong as possible. Use only one compound exercise per major muscle group and focus on a 5% increase in strength from week to week.

As a result it makes Ningxia Wolfberries an ideal source of protein and antioxidants for body builders.

The Chinese national census has also recently reported that the number of Ningxia (Ningxia Province is where Ningxia Wolfberries are harvested) residents living more than 100 years exceeds the national average by an amazing 400%

My personal experience with Ningxia Wolfberries came with an amazing product that changed my life dramatically. Over 7 years ago I was doing a great deal of body building and was trying to restrict myself to vegetable protein sources but found that I was neither able to maintain my energy level nor my routine. I was sensitive to whey products and was loath to supplement with egg albumin because of a family history of heart disease so I was in search of a safe natural product that would not only help build muscle but also address energy and antioxidant concerns. The two products I found were from Young Living. They were 1. Power Meal and 2. NingXia Red Juice.

Tip! Up your cardio rather than your strength training if you're pressed for workout time. Cardio both burns fat and sculpts and tones muscle.

Both contain the Ningxia Wolfberry that only Young Living now has the rights to.

After only a month of being on each of these I found my energy levels, my strength and my muscle bulk changed dramatically. Other benefits that I experienced as well included improved eye sight and enhanced over all well being.
