Fit to Hunt

Do you know the importance of tea? Do you know the benefits of different teas? Since I discovered white tea, it has been my favourite type of tea. I have been enjoying green tea for years, but I find that white tea provides more real benefits. Sometimes I combine a white tea and green tea bag while brewing a cup, just for an extra kick.White tea has been known to help the immune system fight off viruses and dangerous infection-causing bacteria. Also, fluoride-rich white tea helps to prevent the growth of plaque on teeth.So, what is “white tea”? A comparison to other teas can help answer this question. Black tea has been fully fermented during processing, while green tea has not been fermented at all. White tea actually undergoes very little processing and no fermentation, lending a milder taste to the brew. There is more caffeine in white tea than most green teas (unless denoted as de-caffeinated, of course), along with more antioxidants.

The Quickest way to Warm Up this Season is to eat or drink something sweet. Sugars help build an internal 'fire', creating brief heat and quick energy. For long lasting fuel, eat granola, oats raisins and peanuts. This provides slowly released carbs, protein and fat. Carbs are the sticks that start the fire, and fat is the logs that keep it burning. Make sense?

I have always had problem skin - oily and dry.. and therefore prone to break outs. I have used everything you can think of over the past ten years, including proactive (bad bad thing to try)I spoke to a dermatologist, and he said throw it all out, it is all garbage, and use Dove Unscented soap twice a day for 30-60 seconds and rinse with warm water. Don't use anything besides some sunscreen around eyes and mouth (age defying) and whatever makeup you use. Every other day use a hot as you can stand it, facecloth in the evening so your pores are open before you go to bed on your clean pillowcase (which you throw in the washer every two - three days)Also, a trick from my mom. Egg whites, are amazing at tightening the skin and they are cheap. Also you can keep them in the fridge up to a week and use it as often as you wish. I use it once a day. You wash your face with Dove Unscented Soap for 30 - 60 seconds, rinse, pat dry and then take the egg white and smear on your face, dont talk or...

“A few of my friends and I are on our way to better ourselves. One of my friends came over with one of your magazines the other day and we all thought it was going to be a magazine for bodybuilders and people who were already fit. Boy, was I wrong! This magazine stunned me and I was surprised that it had a little bit of everything for everyone! I read so many great real articles and tips that I signed up for a full year subscription and I am sure that my friends aren’t far behind.” - Laura Meyer, Toronto, ON "I want to take the opportunity to write to you and tell you that what you do is so incredible and you are a great inspiration to me I am so grateful that you are a part of my life again. I have had to do so much research on my own regarding my illness, even the Canadian Cancer Society located here in Saskatoon didn't have any information about Leiomyosarcoma when I went in to talk to them. I was told that they only ever heard of one case here before and that was years ago...

So, even though I have been working out for 9 years, and have never had an injury due to that. There is a first time for everything! That comment is so true. As I was performing a manual ab roller on my total gym (flat on the ground) I slipped and tried to catch myself using my abdominal muscles. I felt them tear and it was quite painful. Right now I am very swollen and bruised. So take your time and be careful when performing even the most routine exercises! I have been laying around with ice on my stomach for a few days, hopefully getting back to basic workouts soon!
