New miracle breakthrough weight loss pill! Just sit back and watch the fat melt right off of you. Eat anything you want, eat as much as you want and still lose weight with this new, scientifically proven fat burning formula. Do you want the strength of a rhino? Would you like to have a rock hard, chiseled set of abs? How would you like to be the owner of 32 inch biceps? All of this and more can be yours in only 60 days with the help of our new, barely legal muscle building formula!If you had a dollar for every time you’ve heard advertisements that sound like this, you would probably have a tidy little sum in your bank account by now. Just read any fitness or health magazine and you will notice that it seems as though half of the entire publication is nothing but ads for dozens of nutritional supplements. If you ever paid any attention to these ads, you will notice that just about all of them make some pretty outrageous claims as to what their products will do.
Now, there are some good supplements out there that can help give you a little extra boost in performance or supply some decent nutritional value to help you out with weight loss, but you have to know which ones to avoid so you can find your way to the ones that are worth using. Here are some things to look for that will tell you which ones to steer clear of.
The first obvious thing is, if the product claims to give you amazing results that just sound too good to be true, you will be disappointed with your purchase. While people want to believe there are magical solutions to weight loss and improved fitness, a good exercise regiment and proper diet is still the main ingredient.
You also need to be aware of the so called “experts” who endorse these products. What degree or certification do they have? What is their degree or certification specializing in? Did they get their degree or certification from a reputable organization?
Often, these products will rely heavily on testimonials and shaky evidence to convince you that their bogus claims are real. Testimonials are usually unreliable because they are often biased. Reputable experts such as scientists will report the results of their studies in medical journals so others can review and evaluate them. If there is no documentation in any medical journals, don’t believe their “experts” ramblings on the product.

Another sure fire way to know that a product is not on the level is to look for some key words. People tend to always believe that all of these products on the market have been inspected by the FDA to be safe and effective, but the fact is, the FDA does not have much jurisdiction over most of these products because of their claims that their product is “herbal” or “natural”. People often will believe that ads in magazines, on radio and especially on television are proof positive that they work.
Avoid any products with the words “fat burner”, “fat metabolizer”, “performance or strength booster”, “energy enhancer”, “anabolic or genetic optimizer” or “ergogenic aid”. Not one of these types of products has ever been proven to be effective or safe. Some have even been proven to be dangerous like in the somewhat recent deaths involving products like “phen fen” and “redux”.
The bottom line is this; every year new products are coming out on the market. Most of these are backed by little or no real research as to their effectiveness or side effects. As long as they make no medical claims, they are not classified as a drug, meaning the FDA does not evaluate them for effectiveness or safety. If you do feel you want to use any supplements, choose ones that make no lofty claims.
Look for products that only claim to boost calories or can be used as occasional meal replacements like whole food green superfoods powders, or claim to supplement nutrition like whole food multi-vitamins.
Don’t let yourself fall victim to false advertising schemes made by companies only looking to help you find useless ways to spend your hard earned money.

Tea Health Tips :: Why Drink Tea If You Have Headaches, Migraines, High Blood Pressure and Stress?

Many people have heard and seen the many advertisements about tea and its various cures and benefits. Along with weight loss, cancer fighting, and other cellular benefits curing Headaches and Migraines while reducing stress is among the top advertised. But when I see these ads, I think Why?
After drinking tea for a while, including Green Tea, Oolong Tea, Rooibos, Lemongrass, and a wide listing of organic herbal blends, I have found that I don’t really know if I am fighting cancer inside my body.
But I do know that tea can greatly help me to balance out a stressful time, and help get rid of and prevent headaches.
Simply drinking tea, especially some of the herbal blends specifically mixed for the occasion, can help with headaches, and you will receive all other benefits from the actual tea itself. But only drinking the tea in itself will not allow you to fully maximize all the potential, especially in regards to headaches and migraines. Because not always, but sometimes, drinking tea is about Drinking Tea.
I drink tea all day long. Cup after cup (Thank you, Tea Stand) I drink with no sense of traditional practice, or religious afterthought. I just drink it. But when I have a headache (from stress, sinus headache, caffeine, or many other reasons), just drinking tea isn’t always best. That is when my tradition comes out.
I don’t use special pots, or time honored traditions. There is nothing wrong with them, but I rarely have time for that, and growing up in the United States, there are no time honored tea drinking traditions. I always used tea bags (low quality as they were my only option, and didn’t know any better).So now, even though I am closer to tradition, I still do not have time for this. My Headache/Stress tea drinking practice takes less than five minutes. Usually, that is all the time I have (which is mostly why I have the headache in the first place).
I begin with the double chamber gourmet tea bag. High quality loose tea, easy to use tea bag, reusable; three of the reasons why. I rough it up a little to make the tea inside spread out, and then I put the bag into my mug. With the tea bag ready I pour steaming hot water over it. A little bit too hot to drink. When the cup is full, I bob the tea bag in and out of the water for a minute or so, and let it site for a minute (maybe, depending on how strong I want the tea, how many times have I used the tea bag already, etc.) When letting the tea bag sit, I wrap the string around the mug handle and anchoring it with the bead at the end. After the tea is ready, I take the tea bag out of the cup, and hang it on my tea stand. With green teas and Oolong teas, this is especially important. If you leave the tea bag in the cup too long it can get very bitter.
Now that my tea is ready ( a process which took maybe two minutes) I am ready to relieve myself from this nagging headache. With the cup still steaming, I cup my hands around the mug and slowly breath in the steam. Slow, deep breathes. I do this three to five times, or until the tea has cooled down a little so that I can begin drinking it. It is still hot, but I won’t burn my tongue or lips if I drink it. Then I take small slurping sips. The hot water is important not only for the steam but also for these first few sips. The hot water slows down your drinking, and also helps to clear out your head. After a couple minutes of this I am generally feeling better.
Maybe this 5 minute practice is loosely based on tradition, and doesn’t sound too complicated, but it helps me. I am sure that all in this hectic world can appreciate 5 minutes where life is slowed down and especially a tradition that is fast, easy, and that really helps to get alleviate life’s little inconveniences; headaches, migraines, and stress.
