Can You Get Cancer from Eating French Fries?
Here are excerpts from an interesting article I found today on fried foods…
From French fries to ice cream, there’s no denying our love affair with fried foods – in spite of the fact that we know they’re bad for us. But in addition to contributing to heart disease and cholesterol problems, does eating fried food also cause cancer?

Dear Friend,
Have you ever stopped and listened to the sound of your heart during a workout? After a set of squats or leg presses, sometimes you can feel the beat in your eardrums. It’s an exercise in self-awareness to follow its beat as you lay the weights down and it begins to slow back to its normal rhythm. Your heart is an amazing piece of biological artwork, continuously pumping life-giving blood to all of the cells of your body. That’s 1900 gallons per day to be exact, or 700,000 gallons per year.

Looking back over my competitive history I can say with certainty that one of the greatest advantages I had over my competitors was having my contest preparation completed in all the details, well in advance of the day of the show. Like everyone else, I trained hard and dieted correctly; that goes without saying. What I am referring to is attention to the details. For example, making sure that I had practiced my posing routine so that I could do it with my eyes closed if necessary and having my competition tan applied perfectly.
Paying attention to the details allowed me to create a high degree of confidence on stage at the Mr.Universe, Mr.Olympia, and other high level pro bodybuilding shows in which I competed. When you come prepared to your show, it lessens your internal level of tension, and that increases your confidence. Simply put, you have less to worry about. If you are a competitive physique athlete, you can benefit from these 10 tips for improving your performance and increasing your confidence at your next physique show:

“What goes up, must come down.” When ‘70’s music sensation Billy Preston immortalized those words in his catchy tune, he must have been thinking about some of the professional bodybuilders gracing the posing dais these days. In case you haven’t noticed, it’s in vogue again to “bulk up” or should I say, “pork out” in the so-called off-season. This was a common practice from the 1950’s through the 1970’s, but I thought

Shopping in my local mall the other day (I was dragged in screaming and kicking by my lovely wife, Robin) I chanced on a Successories store. You know, these are the stores that sell everything under the sun that is motivational, except perhaps for cattle prods. I went in and started thumbing through the motivational posters that they had when I came across one that featured a picture of a lion. The saying underneath it said that:

This is from my friend Dr. Gabe Mirkin’s Fitness and Health E-Zine February 7, 2010:
Researchers in Homburg, Germany showed that 50-year-old men who ran more than 50 miles per week at a fast pace had telomeres (chromosome caps) that were almost the same length as those of 20-year-old runners on the German National Team, and more than 40 percent longer than those or inactive men of the same age (Circulation, December 2009). This is astounding because shortened telomeres represent aging.
