“Genetic factorssuch as limb length, number of satellite cells, joint size, neural innervation and a host of other factors play a role in the ability to build any and every muscle group. With that being said, I have yet to see someone reach their genetic limit in developing muscle so it...
Genetics can play a role in how fast and how much muscle you gain through training – studies have shown the activation of “satellite cells” which help repair and rebuild muscles can vary from person to person. Muscles are more metabolically active than fat which simply means they burn more...
“I burned off almost 20 lbs of fat while preserving my lean muscle. I reduced my waist measurement by almost 4 inches without losing much from my chest and shoulders. I reduced my body fat by 5%, and I am getting close to my overall goal of being below 10% body fat.” Jenny, Mom...
4.The word “muscle” comes from Latin term meaning “little mouse“, which is whatAncient Romansthought flexed bicep muscles resembled. 5.Bodies give off atiny amount of lightthat’s too weak for the eye to see. 6.The average person has67 different species of bacteriain their belly button...
Most of our body fat is stored in fat cells called adipocytes, but fat can also be stored as droplets within skeletal muscle cells. In addition, some triglycerides even roam freely in the blood stream. (These are the ones most easily broken down through exercise.) Fat is an organ. Fat ...
One of the most abundant bioactive molecules of cruciferous vegetables, sulforaphane, is capable of up-regulating GST in impaired aortic smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). This up-regulated GST activity was correlated with reduction in oxidative stress, which is the...
3. Myth: Cardio Kills Muscle Cells. Contrary to popular belief, cardio does not kill muscle cells. In fact, cardio training can actually help to preserve muscle cells. This is because cardio increases the amount of oxygen that is available to the muscle cells. This increased oxygenation helps...
The mantle of an octopus is a thick layer of skin and muscle that forms a bag-like structure covering the organs. These organs include the three hearts, the digestive, excretory, and reproductive organs, and the gills, which are used for breathing. The mantle moves as water flows under its...
The use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from perinatal tissue sources has gained attention due to their availability and lack of significant ethical or moral concerns. These cells have a higher proliferative capability than adult MSCs and less immunogen
Mushrooms also contain choline; an important nutrient found that helps with sleep, muscle movement, learning and memory. Choline assists in maintaining the structure of cellular membranes, aids in the transmission of nerve impulses, supports proper fat absorption and reduces chronic inflammation. ...
