Body composition analyses

Aspects of body composition such as amount and distribution of body fat as well as amount and composition of lean body mass are  now  understood to be important outcomes in adults, infants,  and  children .  Body  composition is a key  component of health for both  in dividuals  and  populations.  A  perpetual   epidemic of obesity  in adults  and children  dem onstrated  the importance of body fat measurements for health short and long term. Body composition  measurements  predict  body fat from body parameters and measurements. All techniques suffer from  methodological  and assumption  error  by  which data is converted to the end  results . The multitude of this error varies between techniques.     The most accessible method for measuring body  composition  is  skin fold assessment which may use a three, four, and s...

TPN software

Tailored Precision Nutrition is the best in innovative software that is fast, easy, and very effective.  TPN benefits many facilities and populations including nutritionists, dieticians, fitness, wellness, bariatric, and other medical facilities by reducing hours of programming into minutes. Cardiovascular, nutrition, and meal plans are developed to achieve the exact goals of the client. The T means we present cutting edge technology that is tailored to the needs of the clients from bodybuilders or elite athletes to cardiac rehab patients and everyone in between. The P stands for precision because our programs will reach a specific goal, weight, or body fat in a specified time frame. How many programs can claim that if a person is at fifteen percent body fat and wants to be nine that it can achieve this exactly in a specified time frame? This has been accomplished countless times and now TPN presents this ability to all facilities. N says nutrition software on a cloud to be us...

Catabolism

Catabolism or catabolic means the breakdown of complex molecules to simpler ones with release of energy or destructive metabolism. Catabolism is the process of transforming chemical fuels such as glucose into energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate or ATP. Catabolic hormones include epinephrine, cortisol, and glucagon. Epinephrine or adrenaline with norepinephrine and dopamine are a group of biogenic amines called catecholamines. Stimulation of the adrenal gland activate stores of norepinephrine to epinephrine and its release into the bloodstream. At the cellular level, epinephrine binds to liver and muscle cells at receptors on the cell membrane. The fight or flight or stress reaction includes increased blood glucose, increased vasoconstriction in certain areas of the body, and increased heart rate. By use of cellular intermediates, epinephrine activates an enzyme that breaks down glycogen into glucose for release into the bloodstream. Epinephrine through a second messenger ...

Anabolism

Anabolism and anabolic means the synthesis of complex molecules from simpler ones with the storage of energy or constructive metabolism. The processes produce growth and differentiation of cells, increase in body size, and involves synthesis of complex molecules.  Anabolic hormones in the human body include testosterone, insulin, growth hormone, and Insulin-Like Growth Factors or IGF. These hormones promote tissue growth. Resistance training promotes tissue growth in part by increasing these hormones. Muscle growth is dependent on an increase in protein synthesis and decrease in protein breakdown. The hormonal system supports normal biological function and response to external stimuli such as exercise and especially resistance training. Hormones are secreted before and after resistance training. Muscle remodeling is due to production of anabolic hormones. Testosterone plays a primary role in development of skeletal muscle tissue. Testosterone is an eighteen-carbon derivative o...

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 de...

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...
