Ease Stress with Tai Chi
By: Yoshi Kundagawa, Tue Mar 13th, 2007
A proven, surefire way of relieving stress and relaxing is offered through the practice of Tai chi techniques, yoga, meditation and other ‘Eastern’ alternative therapies. I personally have tried all of them to relieve stress and have found the most noticeable results came from Tai Chi. If your stress won’t seem to dissipate and you’ve tried everything possible, you should try changing your lifestyle and remove the stressors. With less stress, you will find it much easier for your brain and body to be able to relax. This is the ultimate goal of most eastern alternative treatments. Tai Chi is no exception.

How To Choose The Right Gym
By: Bob Giddy, Tue Apr 3rd, 2007
Choosing the right gym is a very important step that you will need to take if you want to get into shape and become a bodybuilder. Gyms vary greatly, in terms of price, equipment and type of members. A great way to find a good gym is to ask your friends for recommendations, but remember that what might be right for your friends might be unsuitable for you. Have a look around and try and find the best place to suit your training needs. Think about price, what you get for your membership, the equipment, its location, special training options and how well the gym is run.

What’s in Deer Velvet?
Velvet deer antler is named after the soft, velvet-like covering that deer antlers have before they turn bony. Antlers are organs of bone which regenerate each year from the heads of male deer. In addition to bone, support tissues such as nerves also regenerate. Nerves grow up to 1 cm each day. Deer antler velvet contains many substances including amino acids, minerals, proteins, anti-inflammatory peptides, hormones, gangliosides and glycosaminoglycans, and Insulin-like Growth Factor-1. The composition of velvet supplements depend on the diet of the deer, climate, time of year, age of stag and the various concentrations of substances in different regions of the antler velvet itself.
