Health / 3 Supplements To Help You Build Muscle In A Healthy Natural Way by thebetterlyf: 3:26pm On Jun 04, 2018
t isn’t always difficult to determine which supplements are useful to purchase, especially with so many options on the market. If you want supplements to help you build muscle, you are going to need to know what to look for before you head to the supplement shop!
Luckily, you can read this guide!
Buying supplements are tricky because there are many options which sound similar, and they are almost always expensive!
Instead of wasting your money on something ineffective, read about these supplements that will help you build muscle!

Creatine Monohydrate
Creatine monohydrate is one of the most well-researched supplements in existence, and for a good reason. Not only is this an effective supplement, but it is cost-efficient as well.
Creatine is an organic acid that is produced naturally by the human body. However, taking in additional creatine is healthy for the body as well. Creatine is readily bioavailable in red meat, although it is difficult to obtain enough through food alone. If you are looking for supplements that will help you build muscle, this should be your first pick!
Creatine comes in many different forms, but the only one you need to be concerned with is Creatine Monohydrate. The other forms of creatine have not been proven to be as beneficial.
Essentially, creatine works by drawing additional water into your muscle cells; enabling you to train longer and harder. It is a very useful supplement!
To use creatine monohydrate properly, you should take 5g per day, about one hour before training. There are other methods of taking creatine monohydrate, but this is a consistent way with proven results.

Citrulline Malate
Creatine Monohydrate is great on its own, but it is not the only supplement you need! L-Citrulline is an amino acid found primarily in the rind of watermelons.
Citrulline malate helps with dilating your blood vessels to increase circulation and nitrous oxide in the blood. If you are a fan of “the pump,” you will love Citrulline Malate!
There have been many studies done on citrulline malate, primarily to analyze its effect on strength and endurance.
You can take 3g-6g of citrulline malate about 15 minutes of training to help fuel your muscles! Along with this, you can also take citrulline malate after training and before bed.
Taking a few grams of citrulline malate after training and before bed can substantially improve your recovery time between workouts!

BCAAs
Creatine monohydrate and citrulline malate are excellent for helping your muscles recover, but they cannot do their job if you are not taking in enough grams of protein on your own.
Although whey protein is the most purchased option for protein powder, BCAAs work effectively as well.
Unlike whey protein, Branch Chain Amino Acids do not need to pass through the digestive system to be absorbed by the human body. Instead, they become absorbed into the bloodstream.
The three amino acids are:

L-Leucine
L-Isoleucine
L-Valine
Not only are BCAAs perfect to be drunk directly after training, but you can also drink them during training and between meals as well!
BCAA supplements should not contain anything except amino acids and are an excellent way to fuel your body throughout the day. For people who are trying their hardest to build muscle, drinking BCAAs between meals is a great way to fuel your muscles and help them grow quicker.
A common dosage of BCAAs is 10 grams at a time, which is an easily digestible amount for most people.
You can try drinking 10 grams directly after training, and 5 grams at a couple of different times per intake.

Food / Learn About 5 Of The Most Effective And Popular Diets by thebetterlyf: 11:48am On May 28, 2018
Dieting is arguably one of the most effective ways to lose weight, from time immemorial humans have engaged in different forms of food control and restriction for one purpose or the other. However the most popular reason people diet is to control or reduce their weight. *unfortunately many people diet, simply to meet society’s standard of what a healthy or a beautiful person should look like, which may be unhealthy or detrimental to them in the long run.*

There are so many diets known and unknown and many have been restructured to suit particular individuals or purposes. This post details five of the most popular and effective diets known today and some of their drawbacks.

The effectiveness and drawbacks of these diets are judged based on results,statistics and testimonials of people who have tried them.

1. KETO DIET

The keto diet has gained extreme popularity recently all over the world and so many can swear by its effectiveness and quickness in achieving the end goal.

Keto diet is characterized by carb intake restriction, the goal of keto is to restrict carbohydrate consumption making the body to produce ketones in the liver as a result of break down of fat, to be used as the body’s source of energy. Carbohydrates produce glucose and insulin. The body uses glucose as its primary source of energy and stores the excess as fat, since these fats are not immediately needed they are stored up for future use. Over time, with continuous consumption of carbohydrates (glucose), the body would not need to make use of the stored fat therefore leading to more accumulation than may be immediately necessary causing the body to have excess fat.

By lowering the intake of carbs the body then goes into a state known as “ketosis”.

*ketosis is the process that will be initiated by the body to help us survive when food intake is low during this time the body begins to produce ketones which are as a result of the breakdown of fat in the liver.*

keto in a simple breakdown
Low to zero carb consumption
High fat consumption
Low – moderate protein consumption
Consumption of vegetables
Goal of keto: To reduce availability of glucose, so as to set the body into ketosis to trigger

Travel / Too Much Luggage Ruining Travel For You? by thebetterlyf: 2:22pm On May 11, 2018
Traveling is high up on my list of favorite things!

Really who doesn’t like the idea of changing their environment every once in a while, seeing new places and people? The thought alone is really exciting.

However there is a major downside to traveling, “LUGGAGE”

Minimalist Travel is quite the rave these days, and rightly so, as reducing your luggage and overall travel expenses certainly sounds like the way to go.
Minimalist travel starts with your mindset, you have to become more in tune with yourself and understand what you consider as your essentials, know clearly what you “want”and what you “need”. Embrace simplicity, declutter and learn to avoid unnecessary detail. This would greatly impact how comfortable you are during your travel, afford you more peace of mind and of course exponentially increase your packing speed. In adopting the minimalist travel style there are a few things to know.
