TPN offers six programs for diverse clientele with specific goals and one other that is customizable to any theories on nutrition. This software develops hundreds of meal plans in seconds, therefore reduces hours of program development to provide very specific results into minutes. The program calculates the most appropriate target heart rate range, daily nutritional breakdown, and meal plans to boost metabolism and burn fat without sacrificing muscle or being unhealthy. One of the goals of TPN is to increase facility revenue by increasing member results and satisfaction. Please visit tpnbodyperfect.com or view our new tutorial video at https://youtu.be/sDaxW961Mn0

Life span nutrition

As of 2005, United States born citizens were expected to live 77.9 years per a 2007 study by the National Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Health Statistics.   That is an increase of thirty years since 1900. While an impressive increase, the U.S. is not at the top of the list for life expectancy. The United States ranks below forty-one other countries. Residents of Okinawa, a Japanese island has been endowed with high life expectancies. Per USA Today, Okinawans have the highest life expectancy of any place in the world. Okinawa may have the highest number of centenarians or people over one hundred years of age, but are second in life expectancy with an average of 82. Andorra, a tiny mountain nation in the Pyrenees between France and Spain have the highest life expectancy at 83.5 years of age. Andorra is roughly the size of New Orleans, around 72,000 people, established in 1278, and ruled jointly by Spain and France until 1993 when it became a democracy.

Exercise order

 If an individual is doing both resistance training and cardiovascular exercise, which one should be done first? For body composition, it makes little difference. Resistance training depletes glycogen stores so it makes sense to train it first to begin burning fat at the very beginning of the cardiovascular session. When the cardiovascular session is completed first, aerobic metabolism is reached at approximately ninety seconds. The ATP-PC system lasts about ten seconds. The net result is eighty more seconds of fat burning. This eighty seconds is never the reason a program is successful in getting lasting results and improving overall health. All energy systems do affect each other and work in concert with one another. Intuition shows that if someone does a one repetition maximum on a squat that will influence the ability to run a marathon later. If the energy systems did not work together, this would not be the case. The take home lesson is to do both cardiovascular exercise and

Common sense

A friend of mine was getting prepared for a figure competition and asked me to do a skinfold analysis to determine her body fat. Of course, I agreed to help her because she was very nice and an exceptional athlete. She was six weeks from the show. The body fat was fifteen percent which sent her into a mild panic. I told her not to worry that there was still time to get her into competition shape. She was only consuming twenty grams of carbohydrates per day to be in ketosis to burn fat. Many women were following a diet given to them by a trainer and promoter for the NPC at the local and state level. As I wrote up a cardiovascular and nutrition program including the number of meals per day and macronutrient breakdown for each meal, I also explained that the body requires a certain amount of energy to burn fat efficiently and that ketones are a result of incomplete fat metabolism and sacrifices muscle looking for energy sources or creating them after being put in starvation mode.

Keys

The first key to healthy programs is to establish an appropriate, healthy daily caloric intake.  The number of calories consumed per day over time will determine the individual’s weight.  For this reason, a suitable daily caloric intake is very important. The second key to healthy, and tailored nutrition programs is to use the appropriate percentages of macronutrients for reaching individual goals and needs.  The percentages used determine how the body is sculpted.  For example, bodybuilders will sculpt their bodies by using moderate carbohydrates to provide enough energy to burn body fat and high protein for the dehydration effect.  Carbohydrates are needed to burn fat efficiently, therefore, figure contestants or bodybuilders who severely deplete or eliminate carbohydrates are not burning fat efficiently, losing muscle, and sacrificing health.  Many people believe that being in ketosis is a positive thing which is most certainly not the case. For diabetics, the formation of ketone

Vibration fitness

Vibration platforms have been proven to increase circulation, flexibility, strength, and power. These platforms provide mechanical stimuli which make the muscle spindle proprioceptors respond as it was being overstretched by eliciting a neural impulse for the muscle fiber to contract. This response is what provides so many benefits. Vibration is a tremendous workout. The slight stretching of vibration allows the muscle fiber to contract thirty to sixty times per second. The vibration increases circulation, flexibility, strength, hormone production, collagen production, and lymph drainage. It also reduces joint pain and inflammation. The hormonal response is outstanding.  Several minutes of vibration can increase growth hormone levels almost four hundred percent and testosterone approximately fifteen percent. There is over fifty years of research available on vibration platforms continually proving beneficial results. As space travel became possible, the Russians would send astrona

Blood sugar

Maintaining normal blood sugar values is very important to overall health. Normal blood sugars are between eighty and one hundred twenty milligrams per deciliter. A blood sugar of seventy milligrams per deciliter will have a person feeling extremely hungry. Under seventy is considered hypoglycemia meaning low blood sugar. The main hormones that regulate blood sugar are insulin and glucagon. These are produced by the pancreas. Insulin allows sugar to pass from the bloodstream into muscles lowering blood sugar. Glucagon breaks down glycogen stores, releases glucose from the liver, and fatty acids from fat tissue to liberate sugar into the blood. Insulin is in response to rising blood glucose values and glucagon in response to low blood glucose.  Insulin is produced by beta cells of islets of Langerhans and glucagon by alpha cells of the pancreas. Glucagon injections are available for people susceptible to hypoglycemia. Diabetes mellitus is characterized by hyperglycemia. Type 1
