College students may have to give up happy hour for a healthy heart.

A recent article on www.time.com sites research from the American Heart Association (AHA) that drinking excessive amounts of alcohol in your college years can double levels of C-reactive protein (CRP). CRP is an inflammation that can lead to a increased risk of cardiovascular problems.

The research surveyed 25 college students and assessed their CRP risk factors, which included smoking, medication and alcohol use. It then compared the moderate drinkers with the heavy drinkers. The research found that the heavy drinkers' levels of CPR were more than double, making them "in the zone associated with a moderate risk of heart disease."

Commonly question about Fitness Happy Hour or a Healthy Heart?

Question :

Did you know that cardio is great for many things, however not good at all for weight loss?

I will start off by listing the things that make cardio very beneficial......

1. heart fitness (obviously)
2. better endurance and lung power
3. healthier skin
4. better digestion and elimination
5. much better sleep
6. antidepressive and anti-anxiety producer
7. probably more that i forgot to mention

BUT......cardio does not promote weight loss. nor does it change your physique.

Take a look in the gym the next time you go. Look at the people on the cardio machines. Obese folks who are not losing a pound of weight. Not one bloody pound of weight do they ever lose. They look miserable. Then go look at the people lifting the weights. They look happy and their bodies are for the most part, built very nicely.

Think about it. You do an hour of cardio, you get super hungry, and you eat 3 times the amount you would normally. You burned 600 calories and just consumed 1400 calories.
Answer :
It actually is good for weight loss - the problem, as you pointed out, is that most people don t eat healthy enough/small enough portions to reap the benefits.

Also, cardio should be combined with weight training, or other muscle building activities to optimize the results.

Doing cardio alone (although beneficial) is not going to make you super skinny and have a six pack. Combining cardio with a weight training program, and good diet is what will give you more results. Likewise, lifting alone won t give you a great body - it will help, and it will make you stronger, but you ll have difficulty losing weight. Similarly, diet alone won t get you into great shape. Starve yourself all you want, but if you re not running and lifting along with it, you ll just be a "skinny fat guy" rather than a "fat guy." (and of course, once you start eating, youll gain the weight back).

Like so many things, balance is the key to a good weight loss program.

Personally, I run for about 20 minutes (2.5 - 3 miles) either before or after lifting and keep on a strict diet 4 days a week, and loosely control it the other 3 (eat what I want, but watch my portions). It gets the job done for me.

Although cardio isn t the one and done workout method, it definitely does help sculpt your body and promote weight loss. Your legs will get stronger, and as long as you keep a healthy diet, you will lose weight. However, the problem is that doing more than 15 - 25 minutes of cardio is pointless - you are just burning excess energy at that point. That is what causes people to fall into the overfatigued/overeating traps.
Question :

My family, the pain :#(?

Everyone in my family dislikes me.. my brothers, sister and parents.. im the eldest at 19... its been going on for many years now! im currently at university having finished my first year at a local university (around an hour away).. i lived their for my first year and pretty much enjoyed.. it being so close i decided to go away and enjoy university life, but mainly to get away from my 18 years of hell at home!

the problem is my mum never appreciates anything i do.. shes very mean, deluded, and some things she says are very hurtful and disgusting!! like she always tells me that i do nothing to support or help clean the house, do the groceries etc... actually i do, and its like whenever i do it theres no signs of appreciation.. its just orders from her like put the groceries into the cupboards etc.. and the times i dont clean like she calls me useless and that she doesnt like me!
i once had a strong verbal altercation with one of my brothers (17) for having our differences in opinion.. she called the police on me saying she can t handle me and that i was bullyingg them.. when the police put me to my place for doing ( F.. ALL) 5 mins later she calls her bestfriend telling hwo she called the cops on me.. it made me feel belittled and embarassed specially over a silly situation! she always says hurtful things like i wish you have a heart-attack on the spot because i hate you, or i hope on your way to college/uni you get ran over by a bus! its absolutely horrible, since i m always apologising for things i have no clue or idea of happening! my friends tell me that i always apologise for litterally every little MINOR thing i do wrong. they say its pointless, but MY MUM MADE ME INTO THIS ALWAYS APOLOGETIC PERSON, since i always apologise for no reason to make her happy! i always pour my heart to my mum about how i feel but she s in denial about how i feel! and is always biased! she told me that our relationship is at 0% meaning (and also stating) that it ll never get fixed whatever i do! she tells her friends how i am (mostly wrong) and it makes me feel bad because they ll spread it! my mum blamed me for my nan dying ( that was evil since me and nana was so close and she used to tell me everything about life and used to defend me from her and my dad) she also said i caused my dad to get high blood pressure, and now if he dies ill feel the guilt (although it wasnt my fault)! she puts so much weight and horrible pressure on me! very horrible, yet i want it to work but it never will as she said! im 19 year old guy and i hate to say it but my family is the only thing that can make me cry and feel this horrible!! im a strong person.. its like this : my family means everything to me, and i tell everyone how nice my familyy is and how i love them above evrything, id give my life for them! (i mean it) and i smile proudly about it, then i get home and then realise the actual situation of my family (it being horrible and disastrous so i just get emotional having been through it 19).. mamma says ive started annoying her from birth (from when i wouldnt shut up from crying when young to now)!!! like common???!??!

my dad just shows making a big deal out of everything little thing such as dropping the remote controller, or for going for a jog whilst i ve not eat much (im on a healthy diet to gain fitness).. he neither appreciates me and in a recent arguement asked me not to speak to him again, or that he won t ever give me a lift in his car because for basically being later to his car when we where heading for the groceries and defending myself from my brothers mouthing off to me so i retaliate (verbally)... he plays the big, having hardly been there in my life as he lived abroad for some years!

i loved livng away, got the break last year at uni, but im not financially secure and in debts so can t move out this year! else i obviously would have! what can i do! its absolutely horriblle being 19! i can t even bring friends (lads and girls)!! i try speak to them but its pushed into my face!! im like we re adults and love you and it upsets me but they re just like whatever stop being so emotional and **** off....!!! i can t bear it anymore! its like speaking to a couple of rocks! when things happen in my life, and feel really upset, i lock myself in my room and stay there for days! and the tension builds especially from their daily demands and their one sided ways of looking at rules and things in general! they re supposed to be the ones i get advice from but i never have told them anything even as much i im itching to! if i cant trust my own parents and not being comfortable around them who can i be compfortable around? like my mum said if the relationship can t EVER be fixed (she won t ever appreciate what i do)!

im a young and broken 19 year old teenager! soon to enter manhood with a deluded, biased, hateful, ungrateful, singling out family :
