Diet Tips To Get Strong, Stay Lean And Build Muscles
Strong, lean muscles are what most fitness enthusiasts aspire for. Why, in spite of your efforts, are you still not making the cut? You have exercised consistently. You have slashed a significant amount of calories to ensure fat loss. Perhaps the problem lies in your metabolic activity. Diet, exercise and your lifestyle affects metabolism. Everything you eat and do has an impact on it, and your body needs the right kind of fuel to develop. Choosing the right diet and exercise is the way to achieve strong, lean muscles. Here are some great tips to definitely keep in mind.
Don't starve yourself. Eating too little is detrimental to your health and to your metabolic activity. It is one of the worst enemies of muscle development. Starving yourself will put your body into starvation mode, and this means that the body will conserve its energy sources by decreasing metabolism. Make it a point to eat breakfast everyday, even if it's just a small one. Fill your breakfast plate with whole grain products, fruits, vegetables and protein-rich foods. Egg whites, for example, are great source of dietary protein. Space your meals well. Eat every 3 to 4 hours. This will keep your metabolism burning.
Nuts have been classified as power foods because they're rich in good fats, good protein and provide lots of fiber. They are good snack alternatives. Unlike highly processed carbohydrates, nuts do not dull your sense of satiety. A handful of nuts can tide you over until your next meal. Get your daily protein requirement. Eat up to one gram of protein per pound of body weight. For women, do not exceed 150 grams per day. Men should have a maximum of 200 grams per day. Avoid or at least limit alcohol intake. It has lots of unwanted calories and no nutrient value. It may also diminish testosterone levels which is detrimental to muscle growth.
Getting enough sleep affects how much you weigh too. Sleep deprivation is linked to increased fat storage. Strive to get 7 to 8 hours of sleep per day. Rest and sleep is important in muscle building. It is during sleep that the muscles recuperate after working out. Workouts should be suited for the goal in mind. Do cardio exercises to trim fat faster and lift weights to build muscles.
The quality and quantity of foods that you eat affect muscle development. Make sure that you're getting enough protein. Eat small meals up to 6 to 8 times a day. This meal schedule keeps your metabolism burning. An efficient metabolism burns more calories. In turn, you develop lean, strong muscles. All of these things, when done together, all work synergistically to help you get strong, lean and build muscle.

Benefits Of Resistance Training Exercises
Resistance training is a great way to workout our muscles with the help of weights, resistance bands or actual body weight. When people hear this, they immediately jump to the conclusion that it would lead to a body like that of Arnold Schwarzenegger. That's not entirely true. It does help give you more prominent muscles but the main focus of resistance training is to improve our strength. That's why it is also known as strength training. There are actually several benefits that you can get from resistance training other than just great muscles.
One of the main benefits of resistance training is that increases bone mineral density. As we grow older, our bones are constantly in a process called remodeling where the tissues break down and bones build up at the same time but the process becomes a lot less active after puberty and is much less on older people. This causes our bone mineral density to decrease. Resistance training helps put some stress on your bones to stimulate remodeling and produces hormones that support the increase of bone mineral density. We know that resistance training also makes our muscles strong, and when you have strong muscles and bones, your overall strength improves allowing you to do more tasks with less effort.
Resistance training not only makes our muscles stronger but it also increases their mass and your muscle mass needs a constant supply of energy even at rest. This means that any fat that you have stored will be used to supply that energy for your muscles. Yes, resistance training helps you burn body fat. This will allow the muscles that you have already toned to become more noticeable. Studies have also shown that your glucose tolerance improves reducing the risk of diabetes. Your heart actually benefits from this type of exercise as well. Regular resistance training helps your heart rate and blood pressure to lower which prevents certain heart diseases. This is why older people should also do some resistance training because it not only keeps their hearts healthy but it also helps slow down the degenerative effects of aging.
Getting your doctor's advice before doing this exercise is important especially for older people and those who have a medical condition or are overweight. This is an exercise that you should not jump into because you need to have the right equipment and your body has to be in the condition to do this training. It is always better to be safe than sorry.
A lot of exercises have more than just one benefit to your body. That's why it is a recommended physical activity to have in our life. Always remember that you need to increase the intensity of the workout if it starts to get really easy so you can get the benefits your body needs and the results that you want.
