Fasting is not an excuse to get lazy, including the matter of physical activity. Sports for example, can be done by adjusting the time and intensity of exercise. Indolent habits when fasting it becomes weak and the resulting entity body of work force is not optimal. Weak stamina to make the disease easier to come.

In fact, if done correctly, fasting makes the body become healthy. If not fasting, the digestive tract to work extra hard, then when the job became more mild fasting. Stomach acid and enzymes can also be well rested. As fast as the source of toxic substances that were disposed of disease.

Regularity of dosing frequency with the right foods, make an impact on improving the quality of the blood profile. Therefore, when fasting is completed, the body becomes more healthy than ever before.

However, if fasting is made excuse for lazy, certainly will not benefit the body. Moreover, if the time to break the fast, it made arena revenge by uncontrolled eating. As a result, not the healthy who obtained, instead of growing fat.

"When it was added by leaving the sport, the effect of body weight will increase after Idul Fitri.Because, at night he ate all sorts, after which the body is not used for anything, "says Personal Trainer at Gold's Gym Leader Citraland Bobby Ferdian Jakarta.

According to him, the potential for weight gain is very strong, supported by the lack of attention to the pattern of eating and resting habits. Especially for those who previously used to exercise, fasting makes such activity ceases, there will be a drastic reduction in the body.

"Try not to stop altogether. May reduce the intensity of exercise, but do not stop, "said the plunge in a professional trainer as an instructor since seven years ago.

In addition to stabilizing the body condition, exercise is needed to train the cardiovascular system. Sports breathing during exercise by taking oxygen can improve the freshness of daily activities.

However, the sport should be conducted in accordance with the portion of the power of endurance. Therefore, every person has the endurance berbedabeda. Heavy exercise while weak body condition was also not good. That's why when fasting exercise intensity can be reduced, or other ways by taking a low-intensity exercise.

"Just before breaking, we can take a low intensity aerobic classes or medium, such as yoga, pilates, body balance, tai chi, or stretching class," said Bobby.

For other sports, can use a bicycle, treadmill spinning or street wear. Sports such as healthy walk or brisk walking can also be an option. Cardio exercise is recommended before actually fasting. Burning exercises that are beneficial cardiovascular function to an empty stomach.

One or half an hour before breaking the fast, cardio exercise can burn fat for use as energy.While waiting for the time, will last a maximum fat burning. "After he could drink the sweet to restore his physical as before," said Bobby.

According to personal trainer or other professional, Jeffery Sihite, such as exercise, yoga, pilates, body balance, more fitting done during fasting. In addition to low intensity, the exercise also has benefits for the mind and soul.

Exercises such as yoga may seem simple, but the movement did not just rely on physical strength. When practicing, the mind that the focus is urgently needed. Simple movements require intense concentration. The mind also must be relaxed to be able to do the exercises there.

"This exercise is good done during fasting. In addition to low intensity, this exercise also trains the mind and body, "said Jeffery who is currently the Group Exercise Coordinator at Gold's Gym Citraland Jakarta. (June Triyanto / Sindo / via)

Soonly we will enter the holy month of Ramadhan fasting month which is also called. In this month of Ramadhan, Muslims are not obliged to fast food and drink from dawn until sinking matahari.Banyak who use limp excuse for lack of food so that resulted in a decrease in the daily work productivity. With the above reasons, then emerged unhealthy behaviors performed without conscious and become habit during fasting.

In order not to weaken, resulting meal habits that many continue to overeat when breaking the fast, insufficient consumption of fruits and vegetables, sleeping all day to not exercising. As a result, unwittingly increasing body weight and condition of the body become less fit.

HEALTHY & FRESH
To avoid the less healthy habits, necessary arrangements at the time of eating and drinking or the meal breaking the fast, so our bodies stay healthy and fresh all day long fasting.
At the time of fasting major energy-producing foods such as carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, and proteins into our bodies is relatively not as much as a typical day.
Here are some specific tips when dawn and breaking fast in order to keep our bodies healthy and fresh during the fasting month, so avoid unhealthy habits:
When Sahur:
Do not forget to always eat a good nutritious meal or during fasting. Although a simple menu, which contains five important nutrients like complete proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals.
For you to be able to withstand hunger, perbanyaklah consume a lot of fibrous foods contained in vegetables and fruit. Our body takes longer to digest foods that contain lots of fiber.
Strive to prevent dehydration of the body by drinking lots of water at night. This is important, because in the daytime activities we tend to sweat a lot better outside the room or room air-conditioned.
In addition to multiply fibrous foods and foods containing protein, you should also provide the type of foods that contain vitamins and minerals and food supplements to keep the body alive and healthy throughout the day.
Essential vitamins that are consumed every day of vitamin A, B, and C. But if you've eaten the fruit is yellow or red, dark green vegetables, beans, it would not have to worry about vitamin deficiency.
For patients with stomach pain foods should be avoided is the sticky rice, noodles, lean meat, fish and preserved meats, raw vegetables, fibrous vegetables, beverages containing soda, and flavor that is sharp (vinegar, chili, sour). What kind of food can cause gas increased the production of stomach acid.
After the meal do not go straight to bed. The body needs time to digest the food.
When Breaking:
Do not just drink cold water or ice, on the contrary make it a habit to break the fast with a warm beverage. An empty stomach can become bloated, if you are directly breaking the fast with cold water, because the stomach acid in our body will be formed more and more.
Then rested for nearly an hour before eating a dish that has served to break the fast. The aim is to provide balance in our digestive beforehand. Remember, do not consume excessive food and pickled food.
Breaking the fast should be done gradually and not rush to the stomach does not "shock". Thus, the stomach does not work because the stomach takes too heavy a blank space to digesting food. To lighten the work of digestion, chew food well.
For those whose weight exceeds ideal body weight, preferably during fasting was fixed to avoid high cholesterol foods, such as animal fats, margarine, butter. In addition, you should avoid sweet foods, such as dodol, syrup, chocolate, cake, ice cream. "In addition to consume more vegetables, fruits, and lean meat, any food processing should not be fried."
As for those who are too skinny, during fasting should increase the share of milk and avoid foods that are difficult to digest such as coarse fibrous vegetables (cassava leaves, papaya).
For those who are elderly, arrange for a meal when breaking fast pattern also gradually. Eat smaller amounts, but done a few times.
After breaking the fast should not go straight to bed. The body needs time to digest the food.
FREE MOUTH STINKS
Fasting means no intake through the mouth so that not rarely even cause bad breath. Bad breath during fasting did seem a little disturbing. Especially when our work requires interaction with the crowd, we definitely do not want anyone to feel awkward because of bad breath.
If we know how menyiasatinya, it turns out we can run fast without the bad breath. We recommend that you check regularly to clean teeth of plaque / tartar and maintain healthy gums, so that during fasting will not be disrupted by problems with the mouth and teeth.
Here are some tips to be free from bad breath. Let's try it and see!
Avoid eating a dish that smelled of 'fantastic' like petai, jengkol, eating raw onions at dawn.
Finished meal, drink plenty of water.
Brushing teeth and tongue brushing after meals and at bedtime. Uneven surface of the tongue which enables the rest of the food stuck in there.
Gargling with a special solution (antiseptic) to eliminate bad breath.
Within the Arab family there is the custom of chewing a pinch of fennel after meals. Once chewed and inserted the water, the waste is disposed. The smell of the fragrant anise-like aroma of cough medicines is really 'dessert' that can be relied upon when fasting.
Meal with vegetable stir-fry or vegetable menu nodes and covered with a bowl of fresh fruit.
Betel leaves the cooking water can be used to rinse the mouth after eating a meal. Betel cooking water to function as antibacterial cause bad breath.

In some time we will face the holy month of Ramadan, where Muslims are obliged to implement them. Many experts agree that the fast will keep our body from several diseases including:
- Keeping the blood cholesterol level
- Reducing free radicals in the body
- Reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes

In addition, as described by Probosuseno SpPD doctor, a specialist in internal medicine from Dr Sardjito Hospital, Yogyakarta, there are several other benefits of fasting for health, namely:

* Dyspepsia (ulcer) will be improved thanks to the most functional fasting
* Skin diseases especially fungus will get better faster
* Fasting can increase semen volume, percentage of live spermatozoa and total spermatozoa.

Do it right
Here are the steps that should be done properly in accordance with religious rules of fasting for health also we provide optimal results:

1. Eating and drinking enough, about 8-10 glasses a day, drinking water here does not necessarily mean only white water, but drinking tea, milk, fruit juice, fruit cocktail, and even vegetable juices are also included in the amount of water we consume.

2. For calorie needs, usually a woman needs about 1900 calories calories, while men 2100 calories. This can be fulfilled as many calories from food and beverages consumed during the dawn and breaking fast. For food, you should choose natural foods because they are more secure. For example: carbohydrate derived from rice, potatoes, noodles or corn.
Protein from meat, fish, tempeh, tofu, and others. While there are sources of vitamins and minerals in vegetables and fruits are yellow, dark green, and red.

3. When breaking the fast, should not eat a lot at once, but gradually.
Starting with a light meal or drink sweet things. If you like dates, eat fruit with this sweet taste. In addition to supplying useful energy, dates are also rich content of nutrients such as potassium, magnesium, niacin, and fiber

AIDS (acquire immunodeficiency syndrome) is an immune deficiency disease. AIDS patients will be looked thin and weak because tubulmya immune system depleted by HIV virus.

The results showed that Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO), namely lauric acid and capric acids, can kill HIV in laboratory breeding. Obtained information that people are dying from AIDS virus infection decreases power after consuming coconut and drink santannya. Nutritious ingredients reduce HIV infection lauric acid which is transformed into monolaurin in the body. This will separate monolaurin virus cell membrane in a way weaken until finally released. In this condition, naked virus without protection again and finally was killed by monolaurin.

From the data the research minis ever made by an expert emeritus of pharmacology, the consumption of as many as nine tablespoons of VCO per day can reduce the power of viral infections during the 6 months. In these conditions, body weight and body condition will increase.

PREVENTION AND TREATMENT OF AIDS

After doing research for more than two decades, the AIDS epidemic is still strong. Has developed a drug to help slow the progression of the disease, but as in other viral diseases, there is no cure for it. However there is hope. One of the most exciting areas of research and active with this VCO is infected with HIV treatment, which, like many other organisms, have a lipid membrane that are exposed to VCO. Researchers found that medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA middle-chain fatty acid), lauric and capric acid in particular, effective to kill HIV in laboratory cultures. This opened the door for possible treatment of HIV / AIDS is far more secure than current antiviral drugs are used.

One problem that has antiviral drugs used against HIV is that they have undesirable side effects, including the downsizing of muscles, nausea, vomiting, anorexia, bone marrow suppression, ulcers, bleeding, skin rash, anemia, fatigue, and changes in mental function . Another problem is the AIDS virus can become resistant to drugs, often become more vulnerable to it. Certain combined viral resistance differs from patient to patient. To combat these resistant strains supervirus, doctors use the approach of a hit-or-miss by mixing a cocktail of patented AIDS drugs. The more drugs used, the greater the risk of unwanted side effects. Unlike the standard treatments used to treat HIV, which attacks the virus's genetic material, a fatty acid chain is only to destroy the virus. Almost like other fatty acids that form the lipid membrane of viruses, our VCO is absorbed by the virus; it weakens the membrane to be torn, thus killing the virus. Sekah unlikely for the virus to develop resistance to this mechanism, so the VCO we can attack and kill every strain of HIV, even supervirus that are genetically resistant to the drug.

Over the years, many people infected with HIV who reported a decrease in viral load (amount of virus in the blood) and improvements in general health after the MCFA as terkadung in our VCO. Some reported a decrease in viral load to undetectable levels after the type of MCFA for several weeks.

The first clinical study on the effectiveness of MCFA to treat HIV patients reported by Cornrado Dayrit, MD, professor emeritus in the field of pharmacology at the University of the Philippines and former president of the National Academy of Science and Technology, Philippines. In this penetitian, HTV 14 patients, aged 22-38 years, divided into three groups. None of the patients received other anti-HIV medications during the study. Treatment which they are tested on comparing monolaurin (monogliceride of lauric acid contained in our VCO) of pure coconut oil. One group (four patients) were given 22 g of monolaurin every day. The second group (five patients) were given 7, 2 g of monolaurin. The third group (five patients) can be 31 / 2 tablespoons of VCO ours. Oil given to the third group contains lauric acid in roughly the same amount as contained in the monolaurin given in the first group. After treatment for three months, the viral load has decreased in seven patients. After six months, at the end of the study, nine of 14 patients had a decrease in the amount of virus (two in group one, four in group two, and three in group three). Eleven patients had gained weight and looked better.

This study confirm the report saying that MCFA random from pure coconut oil and-HIV effects, and provides a solid clinical evidence that monolaurin and coconut oil is effective in fighting HIV Additional research currently underway to investigate further about the use of monolaurin and our VCO to treat HIV / AIDS.

HIV patients often suffer from malnutrition and recurrent infections. Resistance to infectious diseases decreased with the development of disease. Mikroorgamsme opportunistic as Cytomegalovirus, candida, Cryptosporidium, and others soon took over. Over time, the body becomes devastated by the disease so that it becomes impossible to survive longer. Fatty acids in VCO we not only offer the possibility of reducing the load of HIV but also kill other harmful organisms. Coupled with the fact that lauric acid and other MCFA improve digestion and energy production, the result is better health care overall.

One of the most amazing benefits of our VCO is its ability to kill viruses that cause disease. Antibiotics are useless against viruses, and antiviral drugs have a limited level of effectiveness. Drugs used to treat viral infections are often accompanied by undesirable side effects. Our VCO is a natural product that is not dangerous as a way to help prevent and even cure a viral infection.

When the doctor had raised their hands, do not despair, our struggle with Laura VCO is a proven cure many diseases. Laura is a bibuat our VCO from Coconut types of fresh and old options in the tree, so that every drop of Laura VCO has proved his usefulness in curing chronic diseases.

Laura VCO VCO is not usual, has passed the test of various medical and laboratory tests, the smell and taste fresh and crispy, made from coconuts from the beaches of natural selection is not the result of hybrid processed 100% without decay / fermentation without bacterial / enzymatic, without heating , without chemicals, without bleaching, which has been proven to cure many degenerative diseases, cancer and viruses. DLL. such as smoothing the skin, eliminating flek2 pigmentation on the face and neck, and hands. Also for anyone who diligently secured drink young.

HEALING APPLICATIONS

Laura potential usefulness of the VCO to treat and prevent various kinds of infections was shocking, ranging from colds to life-threatening conditions such as AIDS. Treat people infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, by giving them food containing MCFA recently showed promising evidence, and research now being done in this field.

Laura consuming VCO may be a simple solution for many diseases that we face today. The laboratory tests show that MCFA found in coconut oil is processed from particular types of forest coconut effective option to destroy the viruses that cause influenza, measles, herpes, mononucleosis, heparitis C, and AIDS; bacteria that can cause ulcers, throat infekst, pneumonia, sinusitis, earache, rheumatism denam, dental cavities, food poisoning, kemh tract infections, meningitis, gonorrhea, and toxic shock syndrome; fungi and yeasts that cause ringworm, candida, and thrush; and parasites that can cause intestinal infections such as glardiasis .

It's amazing about the use of VCO for treating or Laura. prevent this situation is that although the deadly disease-causing microorganisms, coconut oil is not harmful to humans. Laura VCO is very effective against germs 3x stronger than that contained in breast milk to protect her child. Breast milk and milk from other mammals contain little MCFA. This is why the butter, which is a concentrated milk fat, also contain MCFA. Milk fatty acid chain with sedangnya protect newborns from harmful germs on the most vulnerable time of life while their immune systems are still developing. This is one reason why coconut oil or MCFA added to infant formulas. Mothers who consume coconut oil will have more MCFA in milk to help protect and provide nutrition for her baby. if it was safe for newborns, MCFA certainly good enough for us. Nature makes MCFA to provide nutrition and protect us from infectious diseases.

Efficacious help cure various illnesses including: diabetes, heart disease, physical weakness, stroke, high blood pressure, hemorrhoids, ulcers, kidney failure, hepatitis, prostate, isolate and stifle the vicious virus, helping the process of neutralization in a safe and intensive cholesterol, also prevents many diseases caused by viruses.

Improve stamina, rich in Vitamin DHA Omega 3 + 6, Nutrition and other natural ingredients that are needed to assist the rejuvenation of body tissues and beautify the skin.

Medical researchers to develop synthetic drugs are awesome to fight infection, but all were accompanied by undesirable side effects. Some are highly toxic. Laura VCO is the weapons of the natural antimicrobial, and like food that has passed the test of time, Laura VCO is very safe. if you consume coconut oil regularly your chances of infection is greatly reduced.

Mixed martial arts

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mixed martial arts

Ground fighting during competition. The top fighter, Mac Danzig, maintains knee-on-stomach, over Takumi Nakayama, while delivering strikes.
Also known as	Vale Tudo, No holds barred (NHB), Ultimate Fighting, Cage Fighting
Focus	Various
Hardness	Full contact
Olympic sport	No

Mixed martial arts (MMA) is a full contact combat sport that allows a wide variety of fighting techniques, from a mixture of martial arts traditions and non-traditions, to be used in competitions. The rules allow the use of striking and grappling techniques, both while standing and on the ground. Such competitions allow martial artists of different backgrounds to compete.

The roots of mixed martial arts can be traced back to various mixed style contests that took place throughout Europe, Japan and the Pacific Rim during the early 1900s. Modern MMA competition emerged in 1993 with the founding of the Ultimate Fighting Championships, although professional MMA events had been held in Japan by Shooto starting back in 1989. Originally organized with the intention of finding the most effective martial arts for real unarmed combat situations, competitors were pitted against one another with minimal rules for safety. Later promoters adopted many additional rules aimed at increasing safety for competitors and to promote mainstream acceptance of the sport. The name mixed martial arts was coined by one of the developers of these rules, Jeff Blatnick, a former Greco-Roman wrestler and Olympic gold medalist. Following these changes, the sport has seen increased popularity with pay per view reach rivaling boxing and professional wrestling.

Pound for pound According to Wikipedia is the term used in boxing, mixed martial arts, and other combat sports to describe a fighter's value in relation to fighters of different weight classes. In boxing, Ring Magazine's pound for pound list is the established standard for ranking fighters pound for pound. Because of the emphasis on the size of the boxer, pound for pound ratings predominantly feature fewer heavyweights, focusing primarily on boxers middleweight or below.

It can also be used to describe how any two things compare when bearing in mind their varying quantities. For example, a tin of tomatoes weighing 250 g and costing $2.50 is more expensive, pound for pound, than one weighing 500 g and costing $4 (as the former costs $1.00 per 100 g and the latter $0.80 per 100 g)
