Weight Loss Note

For many years there was a general belief that Calcium aids in weight loss. The theory was that this vital Mineral increases the levels of fats burned by our body. Recent studies tend to contradict this theory. An experiment was conducted by a team of scientists in Lausanne. They selected a group of overweight people that had low amounts of calcium in their daily eating habits.

All patients received extra Calcium under different forms during a 20 weeks period. The result did not show any positive results in terms of people burning more fats during the Calcium diet.

However this is no final verdict yet. Same scientist believe that Calcium plays indeed an important role in the human metabolism and weight regulation but this hasn’t been proved yet by studies like the ones performed in Lausanne. Read the rest of this entry »

It has been a while since I provided a new post for the WeightLossNote. The fact is that I am quite busy in this period of my life and sadly, I had to neglect my blogging hobby. Today I decided to post because I’ve been watching the Australian Open all week and I couldn’t abstain myself on sharing you the feeling that the Grand Slam tournaments bring.

I am not sure if you feel the same but in my case, watching the Aussie Open inspires me to play this sports too. This should explain that I already played tennis twice this week and I have another booking for this afternoon. Watching the likes of Jelena Jankovic the Williams sisters and of course all the stars from the men circuit: Rafael Nafal, Roger Federer, Andy Roddick, Andy Murray and so on makes me regret that I did not practice this sport as a professional level.

Did you know that 30 minutes of tennis help you burn around 300 (Kcals) calories. Considering that an average individual can easily play singles for 1 hour, we can conclude that you could drop 600 calories, having fun and building your health in the same time. If you play doubles the above values drop with about 30%.

OK, hopping that I determined you to play some tennis I will go now to watch the second set of Safin vs Federer. If I wasn’t that convincing watch the Australian Open live yourself and perhaps you will find your motivation and discover the sportsman from within. Read the rest of this entry »

Follow the Olympic Games Spirit

The 2008 Beijing Olympic Games have recently kicked-off. I want to profit from the worldwide presence of the 2008 Summer Games and determine you to increase your sports activity. The Olympic Games are a symbol of all around sports reigned under the fair play umbrella. As you might already know competing at the Olympic Games is a dream for almost every athlete. This is can be compared with a long Marathon. It’s not that important how you perform, rather than the actual participation.

Olympic Games have alway been a favorite moment in my life. They offer me the possibility to watch lots of my favorite athletes at work. Seeing them during their live performances, pushes me to go out on the pitch, track or swimming pool and try to get a small step closer to their performances. Have you ever had this feeling? I am sure you did. If not, watch live Olympic games online or on your favorite TV station and you should start feeling it. Read the rest of this entry »
