It's always best to eat at home and cook for yourself when you are adopting a 'primal' way of eating. You have great control over what ingredients you use and how your food is prepared. However, the reality of life is that many of us have to eat out every now and then whether we are traveling, at a lunch meeting or gathering with friends. It can be intimidating to eat 'primal' while at a restaurant. But, with a few strategies you can still make some pretty decent choices.
Here are a few tips to avoid being the freak who never goes out to eat!
1. Check the menu before you go.
Most restaurants now have their menus available online. Familiarize yourself with it and have a plan ahead of time.
2. Control what you can and let go of what you can't.
Maybe you have no choice when it comes to what type of oil a particular establishment cooks with; let it go.
3. Ask for a gluten-free menu.
More restaurants are catering to those with gluten allergies and will often offer multiple dishes or a menu for those people. Let your server know that you have certain "allergies" and it would be appreciated if they could work with you. Gluten doesn't just hide in bread, pasta, or other grains. It's often hiding in sauces, soups, and dips as well. Just the other night, my husband and I went out for a date night and ordered some great quality meat and veggies, however, it came with a light gravy of sorts that we are guessing contained gluten. We both paid the price.
4. Send the breadbasket away so you aren't tempted to munch on it while waiting for your meal.
5. Be proactive!
Don't be afraid to ask questions about how foods are prepared or what ingredients make up a particular dish.
6. Make substitutions.
Ask for extra veggies instead of rice, pasta, bread or potatoes. Ask for extra meat.
7. Eat at places where you can typically make paleo-friendly choices.
It's usually possible to create a dish with lettuce, meat, pico de gallo and guacamole.
Chipotle salad with extra chicken, extra pico and extra guacamole! |
Coconut curries can be a great go-to. Ask for your curry over steamed veggies, such as broccoli, instead of rice.
Thai chicken curry served with a side of steamed broccoli. I chopped the broccoli and added it right in. |
Steak house:
When choosing a cut of meat it's helpful to know where the meat is coming from. If it's conventionally raised, feed-lot, you want to choose lean cuts (tenderloin, sirloin, top or bottom round, etc.). If you have a spot that sources grass-fed beef you can comfortably choose fattier cuts knowing you have a good source of omega-3s and CLA. Most steak houses will offer vegetables a la carte. A great option as long as you avoid creamed dishes or those with "gravies" (these often include dairy and gluten/flour). Sometimes you even have the option for a baked sweet potato.
At your typical American style restaurant it's often easy to opt for a big salad topped with meat and various vegetables. Ask to "hold" any toppings that don't fit within your eating goals (croutons, cheese, candied fruit, etc.) and ask for olive oil and vinegar on the side instead of pre-mixed dressings (most salad dressings are made with oils that are not recommended for a 'paleo' lifestyle. You may also opt for a burger over salad in place of a bun and a side of steamed or sauteed veggies in place of fries. Some restaurants do offer "sweet potato fries," but take note that restaurant fries are often coated in flour before being dipped in less than ideal oils. If you have or suspect a gluten sensitivity, it's important to be aware of this.
A burger with sautéed mushrooms and guacamole, served over lettuce with a salad on the side. |
I tailored this salad to make it paleo-friendly! You may feel high-maintainance in the midst of ordering, but it's worth it to get what helps you feel good. |
Olive oil and vinegar on the side! |
Chinese cuisine can be challenging (at least here in the US) because they tend to use a lot of vegetable oils, sugar in their sauces, as well as soy and gluten. It can be possible to get plain meet (steamed chicken, shrimp or beef) and steamed veggies.
8. When possible, support restaurants that use local ingredients and quality foods!!
There are more spots that serve grass-fed and finished beef and produce from local organic farms. Demand will encourage more of these offerings!
9. Try using some of the new smart phone apps geared towards paleo cuisine on the go:
PaleoGoGo is one.
If anyone has any techniques they use while eating out paleo-style, please share below!

Chevy Woods - Underrated (Prod. By Sledgren & Ricky P) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Man look how far we came without you nigga's
Ya'll play both sides, so now we gotta out you nigga's
My grandma said there would be days like this
And I know grandma, they hate me gettin' paid like this
All these diamonds on a nigga, damn
Gotta pray every night, could have been stuck in that can
These Jordan 1's on a flight to [?]
And I told you nigga's before, I'm still reppin' the set
Champagne and the lobster get your shell cracked
And that bullshit come for free, so you can sell me that
Shooters outside, so don't you wait for us
And they make any place safe for us
Ain't got no talents so they blame us for it
And we never show up there if they don't pay us for it
Brown bag, word to Jeezy and Cali
To the grave to a lot of shit, I don't speak about it
Bring your friends and let's celebrate life, and toast to your [?]
Damn, ew girl I know you love it
Underrated, but I'm still like "fuck it"
Underrated and I fuckin' hate it
The [?] want from you, they don't want you to make it
Gettin' so much, got me dressin' the latest
And I swear to max all the hatin' they wavin'
Underrated, but I'm still like "fuck it"
Underrated and I fuckin' hate it
The [?] want from you, they don't want you to make it
Gettin' so much, got me dressin' the latest
And I swear to max all the hatin' they wavin'
[Verse 2]
Walkin' off stage, they screamin' encore
Just cracked the panel, it's a hundred, in that car door
And I'll never forget where I come from
Heard em' say that they want it, better go and make em' some
It's tug-of-war for that pull of attention
Damn, all these hundreds, I forget to mention
Make it hard for me to answer calls
Keep it real my nigga, you know I still fuck wit ya'll
Yeah, I'm drinking champ it's like ten in the morning
I don't just do this for me, you know that I do this for ya'll
Cause wasn't nobody there for the fall
And just to think, I did this for my dogs
We livin' different, we don't speak the same
Make sure that convo money if you say my name
Yeah, I did all this outta Pittsburgh

Jun 18, 2014 12:53 PM by Dennis Bragg - MTN News
(LOST TRAIL PASS)- Authorities are still checking the wreckage, but now believe one person died when a float plane crashed and burned at the summit of Lost Trail Pass Tuesday.
The crashed happened around 5:30 p.m. in a parking lot of the pass, which straddles the Montana-Idaho border.
The plane, now identified as a Grumman G-21 A Goose, went out of control and crashed into the Lost Trail ski area parking lot, slammed into the ground and burst into flames.
Ravalli County Undersheriff Steve Holton tells MTN the plane was destroyed, making it impossible to read the registration numbers on the tail or tell how many people had been on board. It's now thought only the pilot died but investigators are working to confirm that conclusion.
The identity of the pilot hasn't been released.
Investigators with the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board are on scene this morning collecting evidence that may help determine the cause of the crash.

Drought Conditions Leaving Crop Supplies Bone Dry

Former Governor of Alaska Sarah Palin was forced to address rumors that she'd gotten a boob job. "No, I have not had implants," she said. "A report like that is about as real and truthful as reports that [my husband] Todd and I are divorcing or that I bought a place in the Hamptons or that [my son] Trigg is not my own child." Palin blamed "boob-gate" on "bored, idle bloggers and reporters with nothing else to talk about." [People]

Is there such thing as a "guy basement?" Like has anyone made their basement into the ultimate game room, or a music studio, or just a place to smoke cigars? Can you smoke cigars in a basement? |

I consider our basement a guys basement. It has a bar, movie theater, and billiard room. My hubby loves it. I would imagine if you smoked cigars down in the basement you would have to get an air cleaner... |
Apparently there are some pretty great man basements after reading the thread posted by jasper 60103. I'm trying to find people with amazing "guy rooms" for a show I'm working on airing on HGTV. My job is to go out and find "man spaces." I continue to browse through this site, definitely a lot of do-it-your-selfers here. |

We once owned an 20's vintage home with a basement finished in the 40's. The whole basement was knotty pine and the main room had a stone wood-burning fireplace. Yes, it had a full wet bar comelete with a double commercial stainless bar sink. The bar face and stools were leather and the back bar had display shelving and plenty of storage. A large wine cellar and full kitchen were each separate rooms as was a work shop and laundry. There were large back-lit outdoors scenes of canyon fly fishing and hunters with their fresh kill. It had a projection room with cable operated screen which dropped out of the ceiling on the far side of the main room into a framed theatre approximately 7'wide x 5'high. The main room was approximately 25' x 15'. I'm sure there was once a pool table too based on ceiling lighting. But, the most manly feature was a firing range. The targets were cable-run to the far end and there was an exhaust port to let the smoke escape. And there was a huge display case for the firearms in the main room. A contractor had finished the space and his widow and son both came to visit. Unfortunately we moved in 1993 and I don't have any digital photos to share but we really loved that home - the rest of it was filled with unique features too. |
fnmroberts, That sounds really great. Especially the firing range! That actually gives the idea of searching for stories for the show. Find man rooms with carnival games/firing ranges in them! |

I don't have access to a mac to try this out but I didn't think using:
mailto:?body=... would work on a mac..
last time i remember trying it just placed everything after the semi colon somewhere it didn't belong. Have spent a while googling it and whilst not getting a firm answer I get the impression that this will work..
Can anyone help me out on this?
Do you have a sample posted somewhere to check this?
If you can sticky mail me with the url, I will test it for you in Safari, Firefox and Opera... that should cover about 95% or so of the Mac market.

I tested with Thunderbird first and then Mac Mail app as the default mail client, and both worked perfectly.
thanks so much for your offer, i'm only now checking to see if anyone replied. i would send you a url but as Luna C's answered it there's no need now.
thank you very much! you've really helped me out.

Quoted from Xuxuzinha I'm A- nonnie, and you can relax if you're next to me in a room full of mosquitoes, they would not even see you!!As a matter of fact, since we moved to a new place 3 months ago, I get bitten all the time and no one else does.
Quoted from Xuxuzinha I'm definitely trying that, cheers Juliebug!
Quoted from Seraffa I take the prescribed dose of methyl B 12 every day for adrenal fatigue, which is twice the dose Dr. D recommends, and still got bitten 20 times in one week! But I never feel pernicious anemia. Must have been other things on my skin. Maybe I will check out Vitabath.
Quoted from C_Sharp For reducing the number of mosquito bites, B1 is considered to be more effective than B12.

On Thursday 12 September 2013 the KREOD team will host a launch event in Mayfair, London to introduce the pavilion to more than 200 business leaders, decision makers and entrepreneurs from the UK, China and Brazil. The networking and launch event will provide opportunities to foster new business relationships ahead of the Rio Olympic Games in 2016.
Headed by architect and Managing Director of KREOD, Chun Qing Li and Chairman of Blackbridge Cross Borders, Alexander Jarvis, the 300 sq m KREOD pavilion is a cluster of three pods and was showcased at the London 2012 Olympic Games. The project recently made the shortlist for the inaugural WAN Façade of the Year Award.
During the Rio Olympic Games in 2016 a version of the pavilion - seven times larger than the original - will be available, presenting 'real opportunities for economic growth and prosperity from which a combined population of 1.6 billion people in Brazil, China and the UK can only benefit'.

Calling All Bloggers: Take Our Brown-Bag Challenge
by Healthy Eats in Uncategorized, August 11, 2011It's back-to-school season, a time for parents, teachers and others who work in schools to say goodbye to summer and hello to the task of filling up that lunch box. And for those of us that aren't going back to school, it's a good time of year to get back into gear after a long, lazy summer and get into the habit of packing a lunch each day.
Brown-bag lunches have countless health and economical benefits. By packing your own lunch and snacks, you have control over ingredients and portions, making it easier to keep your diet in check. Brown-bagging it also saves money — restaurant and fast-food lunches can run up to $15 per day; imagine saving that money instead.
But planning lunches can be difficult. With all of the other responsibilities at home and at work, and 2 other meals a day to plan out, grabbing lunch on-the-go is often the easiest option. Difficult doesn't mean impossible, though, and we love a challenge. So for the month of September, we're challenging ourselves and our readers to eat a home-packed lunch each day of the workweek. Care to join us? We can do this together.
The Details:
- The challenge: Bring your lunch to work each weekday for the month of September (Thursday, 9/1-Friday, 9/30).
- A Healthy Eats editor will blog several times per week about the challenge. We'll offer recipes, tips, and inspiration to help with the struggles of packing a lunch.
- Each Tuesday, we'll post on Healthy Eats with a roundup of links from other bloggers participating in the challenge. If you'd like to be included in the round-up, links are due by 5 pm ET each Monday.
- We'll chat daily on Twitter about what we're eating with the hashtag #brownbag.
- We'll host a dietitian-led Facebook chat, mid-month, about healthy lunch options.
Think you can do it? Join in and help us spread the word on healthy, home-packed lunches. Simply email Healthy Eats at foodnetworkhealthyeats at gmail dot com to get in on the fun. We'll send you any follow-up information, as well as a graphic you can use on your Brown Bag blog posts. Participants are encouraged to take the full challenge — one month without purchasing lunch on weekdays (it's okay to eat out on weekends and Labor Day), but you can blog about the Brown Bag Challenge as often as you'd like; it doesn't have to be daily. And you're free to choose your favorite lunch container; you certainly do not have to use a brown bag.

Enhancing growth hormone naturally.
During our youth, abundant levels of growth hormone growth hormone or somatotropin (sōmăt'ətrō`pən), glycoprotein hormone released by the anterior pituitary gland that is necessary for normal skeletal growth in humans (see protein). (GH) promote an energetic physiology essential for healthy metabolism and an optimal ratio of lean muscle tissue to body fat.[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]
By the time we reach middle age, however, levels of essential hormones such as testosterone and DHEA DHEA dehydroepiandrosterone.
n dehydroepiandrosterone, a hormone precursor, exists naturally in yams. decline, while age-associated decreases in muscle mass and increases in body fat become noticeable.
Furthermore, research shows that in aging men, the amplitude of pulsatile pulsatile /pul·sa·tile/ (pul´sah-til) characterized by a rhythmic pulsation.
Undergoing pulsation.
characterized by a rhythmic pulsation. GH release (the magnitude of the GH pulse) declines by 50% every seven years after 18-25 years of age. (1)
Exogenous subcutaneous injection of human recombinant growth hormone is expensive and still controversial. Fortunately, studies have shown that there are strategies that may naturally boost the endogenous production of growth hormone and thus provide a viable alternative to expensive injections. In particular, exciting research suggests that the growth hormone-blocker somatostatin Somatostatin
A naturally occurring regulatory peptide that carries out numerous functions in the human body, including the inhibition of growth hormone secretion from the anterior pituitary gland. can itself be inhibited with a nutrient called CDP-choline, thus slowing the rate at which growth hormone declines.
Naturally supporting the body's own endogenous growth hormone production using targeted lifestyle and nutritional strategies may provide a safe method of harnessing the vigor and vitality associated with youthful growth hormone levels.
Growth hormone (GH), also known as somatotropin somatotropin: see growth hormone. , is a peptide hormone produced by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland pituitary gland, small oval endocrine gland that lies at the base of the brain. It is sometimes called the master gland of the body because all the other endocrine glands depend on its secretions for stimulation (see endocrine system). .
Growth hormone secretion occurs in a pulsatile fashion following a circadian circadian /cir·ca·di·an/ (ser-ka´de-an) denoting a 24-hour period; see under rhythm.
Relating to biological variations or rhythms with a cycle of about 24 hours. (daily) rhythm, which is controlled by a central area of the brain known as the hypothalamus hypothalamus (hī'pəthăl`əməs), an important supervisory center in the brain, rich in ganglia, nerve fibers, and synaptic connections. It is composed of several sections called nuclei, each of which controls a specific function. . The hypothalamus regulates serum GH levels through the release of two functionally opposing hormones: growth hormone-releasing hormone stimulates GH release, while somatotropin release-inhibiting hormone somatotropin release-inhibiting hormone A hormone produced and released from the anterior hypothalamus in response to various stimulants–eg, high circulating glucocorticosteroids, which inhibits the release of growth hormone and TSH reduces it.
Endogenous (made within the body) GH exerts its actions by binding directly to specific receptors on target tissues including muscle, connective tissue (tendons, ligaments, bone, and fat), as well as every major organ. Growth hormone also works indirectly by stimulating liver cells to produce and secrete polypeptide polypeptide: see peptide. molecules known as somatomedins, the best studied of which is insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). Like GH, IGF-1 boasts receptors throughout the body and serves many functions. Together, GH and IGF-1 play influential roles in virtually every system--from muscle, bone, and connective tissue growth and repair, to the selective regulation of various aspects of metabolism, as well as helping maintain normal brain function and cardiac health.
However, GH secretion falls precipitously with advancing age. Furthermore, research shows that in aging men, the amplitude of pulsatile GH release (the magnitude of the GH pulse) declines by 50% every seven years after 18-25 years of age. (1)
This decline is also mirrored by diminishing IGF-1 levels. The decrease in the secretory secretory /se·cre·to·ry/ (se-kre´tah-re) (se´kre-tor?e) pertaining to secretion or affecting the secretions.
Relating to or performing secretion. activity of the GH/IGF-1 axis, commonly referred to as somatopause, correlates with a number of undesirable symptoms generally associated with aging. Most notably, diminishing GH/IGF-1 has been shown to reflect disordered sleeping patterns, bone frailty, increases in central adiposity adiposity /ad·i·pos·i·ty/ (ad?i-pos´i-te) obesity.

obesity. (fat accumulation around the middle of the body including the abdomen), as well as decreases in cognition and muscle mass, strength, and conditioning. (2-9)
Since the decline of GH correlates with the onset of aging-related symptoms, scientists have investigated whether synthetic GH replacement may prove beneficial.
Some of the most compelling evidence that somatopause may respond favorably to synthetic GH replacement therapy comes from investigations involving patients suffering from total or near total absence of GH secretion as a result of pituitary pituitary /pi·tu·i·tary/ (pi-too´i-tar?e)
1. hypophysial.
2. pituitary gland; see under gland.

Without treatment, adults suffering from pituitary disease are both physically and psychologically less healthy than their age-matched peers, demonstrating significantly reduced muscle mass, bone density, exercise performance, thyroid function, and collagen production, with a concurrent escalation of central fat mass (especially fat accumulation in the abdominal organs) and insulin resistance Insulin Resistance Definition
Insulin resistance is not a disease as such but rather a state or condition in which a person's body tissues have a lowered level of response to insulin, a hormone secreted by the pancreas that helps to regulate the level , as well as an increased risk for cerebrovascular accidents (strokes) and cardiac events.

2. The remaining number of years an individual is expected to live, based on IRS issued life expectancy tables. is measurably reduced. (15,16)
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, GH replacement studies in adults with poor pituitary function were designed with the goal of restoring normal GH levels. However, the doses used in these chronically GH-deficient individuals produced IGF-1 concentrations that greatly exceeded the expected range, resulting in unacceptably high rates of adverse reactions. In subsequent work, with GH doses adjusted to produce age-appropriate IGF-1 concentrations, negative side effects were largely eliminated or reduced to tolerable levels. Study subjects demonstrated significant and sustained improvements in body composition, physical performance, bone density, and psychological well-being, as well as substantial reductions in biomarkers for cardiac disease. (17-24)
In light of these results, researchers felt cautiously optimistic that men and women with partial GH deficiency secondary to advancing age might also reap the benefits of GH replacement therapy. However, following a landmark study by Rudman and colleagues in 1990, which provided the first evidence that GH supplementation in the elderly could diminish--and potentially reverse--some of the physical symptoms associated with somatopause, (25) exogenous GH therapy has been controversial (10,26-37) and associated with high costs.
Fortunately, scientists are discovering that the benefits of youthful GH levels can also be harnessed safely by naturally increasing the body's own hormone levels with the right nutrients and lifestyle practices.
Nutritional strategies can offer targeted support for individuals seeking to enhance their endogenous production of GH. Such nutrients may work either by directly enhancing GH release from the pituitary gland or by enhancing the efficacy of sleep or exercise, the two activities that best support GH secretion.
A growing body of research suggests that the compound cytidine-5'-diphosphate choline choline: see vitamin.
Organic compound related to vitamins in its activity. It is important in metabolism as a component of the lipids that make up cell membranes and of acetylcholine. (CDP-choline) may boost GH secretion while conferring an array of brain health benefits for aging adults.
As adults grow older, GH secretion from the anterior pituitary gland Noun 1. anterior pituitary gland - the anterior lobe of the pituitary body; primarily glandular in nature
adenohypophysis, anterior pituitary
ductless gland, endocrine gland, endocrine - any of the glands of the endocrine system that secrete hormones declines precipitously. Exciting scientific research suggests that decreased GH release results in part from increasing levels of somatostatin with aging. Somatostatin produced by the hypothalamus inhibits the release of GH from the anterior pituitary.
This innovative idea has led researchers to search for agents that inhibit somatostatin and thus potentially increase the release of GH. Experimental research shows that treatment with cholinergic cholinergic /cho·lin·er·gic/ (ko?lin-er´jik)
1. parasympathomimetic; stimulated, activated, or transmitted by choline (acetylcholine); said of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nerve fibers that liberate acetylcholine at a agonists increases GH release by inhibiting somatostatin release from the hypothalamus. (38)
These findings were soon supported by a human study. This compelling investigation showed that administration of CDP-choline to healthy elderly adults resulted in a dramatic four-fold increase in serum GH levels, compared with baseline values. (39) These findings build upon evidence from an earlier study showing that CDP-choline administration in healthy men increased serum GH levels. (40)
In addition to its effects on GH release, CDP-choline acts through other mechanisms to promote brain cell integrity and health. CDP CDP (cytidine diphosphate): see cytosine.
(1) (Certificate in Data Processing) An earlier award for the successful completion of an examination in hardware, software, systems analysis, programming, management and accounting, choline acts as an intermediate in the synthesis of neuronal membranes, promoting healthy brain cell membrane structure and function. CDP-choline counteracts the deposition of amyloidbeta, a pathological protein found in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease. Human research suggests that CDP-choline supports release of the essential neurotransmitter norepinephrine norepinephrine (nôr'ĕpīnĕf`rən), a neurotransmitter in the catecholamine family that mediates chemical communication in the sympathetic nervous system, a branch of the autonomic nervous system. , while animal studies show that CDP-choline increases brain levels of key neurotransmitters including dopamine dopamine (dōp`əmēn), one of the intermediate substances in the biosynthesis of epinephrine and norepinephrine. See catecholamine.
One of the catecholamines, widely distributed in the central nervous system. and serotonin. (41)
In clinical trials, CDP-choline has shown promise in improving age-associated memory impairment, boosting cognitive performance in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease, and supporting recovery from both ischemic Ischemic

Mentioned in: Antiangiogenic Therapy, Subarachnoid Hemorrhage, Ventricular Fibrillation
ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. (41)
These findings combine to suggest a powerful role for CDP-choline in supporting healthy GH levels and in optimizing brain health with aging.
Protein (especially protein derived from animal sources) provides important essential and conditionally essential amino acids known to assist endogenous GH secretion. (42-44) An added bonus: these same essential amino acids are vital for supporting muscle growth and recovery in active men and women.
The most abundant amino acid in the body is glutamine glutamine (gl`təmēn), organic compound, one of the 20 amino acids commonly found in animal proteins. . Consuming even a relatively small amount of glutamine (2,000 mg) has been shown to increase plasma GH levels. (45) Glutamine has also been shown to help preserve muscle mass in individuals vulnerable to losing lean body mass due to inactivity following surgery. (46) This suggests that glutamine may provide important benefits in maintaining lean body tissue.
Like glutamine, oral intake of the amino acid arginine arginine (är`jənĭn), organic compound, one of the 20 amino acids commonly found in animal proteins. Only the l-stereoisomer participates in the biosynthesis of proteins. increases the release of GH at rest. The combination of arginine intake with exercise produces even greater increases in GH levels. (47) In addition to its anabolic anabolic

Abbr. alphaketoglutarate has also been reported to increase GH secretion. (49)
Compelling evidence demonstrates that the combination of arginine and ornithine augments the results of resistance training by helping to increase lean body mass and strength. The investigation also indicated that oral doses as relatively small as 1 gram of ornithine and arginine were effective in enhancing strength and lean tissue mass. (50)
GLYCINE glycine (glī`sēn), organic compound, one of the 20 amino acids commonly found in animal proteins. Glycine is the only one of these amino acids that is not optically active, i.e. SUPPORTS HEALTHY SLEEP, GH RELEASE
Since GH secretion occurs primarily at night, ensuring good sleeping habits is essential for individuals seeking to optimize their natural levels of GH. Unfortunately, one-third of adults report at least occasional bouts of insomnia, and about one-third of them suffer from sleeplessness or disturbed sleep on a more chronic basis, to the point that it regularly impairs daytime functioning. For the millions of sleepless among us, there may be good news--in the form of an inexpensive, naturally occurring amino acid known as glycine.
Within the central nervous system, glycine functions as an inhibitory neurotransmitter, playing a well-documented and critical role in initiating normal patterns of REM sleep. (51) Now, a new study of chronic insomniacs demonstrates that glycine administered orally just prior to bedtime significantly improves sleep quality, shortening the latency between sleep onset and initiation of slow-wave (deep) sleep as measured by polysomnography. Volunteers also reported less daytime sleepiness, a subjective finding that was objectively corroborated cor·rob·o·rate

or nicotinic acid or vitamin B3
Water-soluble vitamin of the vitamin B complex, essential to growth and health in animals, including humans. (vitamin B3) significantly increases endogenous GH secretion in healthy, middle-aged men and women. Individual test subjects in the study who demonstrated a concomitant increase in IGF-1 also exhibited improved memory and vigor. (53)
Healthy lifestyle practices are an essential component of a program to enhance endogenous GH production. The most important techniques for optimizing GH levels include:
1. Deflate (file format, compression) deflate - A compression standard derived from LZ77; it is reportedly used in zip, gzip, PKZIP, and png, among others.
Unlike LZW, deflate compression does not use patented compression algorithms. the spare tire. If you happen to suffer from fat stores concentrated centrally around the organs of the abdominal region, GH secretion will be even more impaired. Fortunately, research indicates that declining GH due to body fat gain is partially reversible with weight loss. (54) Unfortunately, visceral adiposity is often an indicator of both insulin and leptin Leptin
A protein hormone that affects feeding behavior and hunger in humans. At present it is thought that obesity in humans may result in part from insensitivity to leptin. resistance and, as a result, can be very difficult to shed permanently. Fortunately recent work has led to the discovery of effective, natural methods for combating leptin resistance. (55-58) For more information, see: "Deflating your spare tire for a longer, leaner life ... Understanding the risks of leptin resistance" Life Extension, February 2009,58 and "Vindication" (How correcting a testosterone deficit can reduce abdominal adiposity), Life Extension, December 2008. (59)
2. Avoid high-glycemic-load carbohydrates. Insulin is a powerful, direct inhibitor of GH secretion. (42,60) To prevent the unhealthy surges of insulin or "insulin spikes" that decrease endogenous GH levels and increase your risk for type 2 diabetes type 2 diabetes
See diabetes mellitus. , avoid highly processed carbohydrates like refined white bread and sugary cereal, as well as high-glycemic-load foods such as white rice, potato chips, cookies, soda, and commercially processed fruit juices (high in fructose fructose (frŭk`tōs), levulose (lĕv`yəlōs'), or fruit sugar, simple sugar found in honey and in the fruit and other parts of plants. and devoid of fiber). Instead, emphasize nutrient and fiber-rich whole fruits, vegetables, nuts, and legumes Legumes

legumes (l (beans). (61)
3. Insist on a good night's sleep. The majority of GH secretion occurs at night during slow-wave (deep) sleep. Along with high-intensity exercise, another natural stimulus of endogenous GH secretion is sleep itself. It is well documented that inadequate sleep, irregular sleeping patterns, and poor quality sleep can substantially inhibit GH secretion. (1,42) To optimize sleep, maintain good sleep hygiene habits: keep to a regular bedtime and wake up time; do not consume alcohol or caffeine 4-6 hours before bedtime; and keep excess light and noise out of the bedroom.
4. Plan your last meal of the day carefully. Your last meal of the day is the most important for maintaining a robust GH/IGF-1 axis. A high-protein, low-carbohydrate snack before bedtime serves a dual purpose. First, it helps minimize insulin release and allows for maximum endogenous GH secretion. Second, important essential and conditionally essential amino acids found in protein assist endogenous GH secretion. (42-44)
5. Stay active! Exercise is a significant, natural optimizer of GH secretion. (62) The type of exercise you do, as well the intensity and duration of your workouts, all play an important role in determining to what degree your training regimen contributes to GH secretion. A number of studies have suggested that the intensity necessary to trigger exercise-induced GH release corresponds to the lactate Lactate
A salt or ester of lactic acid (CH3CHOHCOOH). In lactates, the acidic hydrogen of the carboxyl group has been replaced by a metal or an organic radical. Lactates are optically active, with a chiral center at carbon 2. threshold--the exercise intensity at which lactic acid accumulates in the blood. (63) Exercise training above the lactate threshold appears to amplify the pulsatile release of endogenous GH at rest, increasing total secretion for at least 24 hours. (64)
The plentiful growth hormone levels of youth are associated with strength, good health, and vitality. However, given the high cost and mixed study results associated with recombinant GH injections, optimizing lifestyle choices to enhance endogenous GH production may represent the most intelligent way to benefit from this youthful hormone. Through weight management, exercise, healthy sleep habits, minimizing intake of high-glycemic-load carbohydrates, and consuming targeted nutrients such as CDP-choline, niacin, glycine, glutamine, arginine, and ornithine, you may safely and cost-effectively capture the many benefits of naturally high GH levels.

* Growth hormone (GH) is a peptide hormone that is intimately involved in tissue growth and repair. Together with insulin-like growth factor insulin-like growth factor
one of the twenty or so substances, additional to the classic bone-regulating hormones, which exert an effect on bone cell metabolism. See also somatomedin C. 1 (IGF-1), GH helps regulate metabolism and maintain normal brain and cardiac function.
* Secretion of GH falls dramatically with aging, correlating with age-related symptoms such as disordered sleep patterns, fragile bones, cognitive decline, and decreased muscle mass and strength.
* Studies examining exogenous GH therapy in elderly adults with declining GH levels have yielded mixed results.
* Given the mixed results and the high cost of subcutaneous injection of human recombinant GH therapy, a more natural approach to maintaining youthful health and vigor is to employ lifestyle choices that optimize the endogenous production of GH.
* Safe methods for enhancing endogenous GH production include: losing excess body fat, particularly abdominal fat; avoiding high-glycemic load carbohydrates; optimizing sleep habits; eating a high-protein, low-carbohydrate snack before bedtime; and exercising regularly to your lactate threshold. Targeted nutrients including CDP-choline, arginine, ornithine, glycine, glutamine, and niacin (vitamin B3) can help support endogenous GH secretion, assist muscle growth and recovery from exercise, and promote healthy sleep.
There are a number of lifestyle factors that lead to decreased GH and IGF-1 secretion. For example, multiple studies indicate that central adiposity (the accumulation of central body fat) accurately predicts GH decline. (65-68) In addition, it is well established that poor nutritional status, inadequate sleep, and lack of physical fitness can all contribute to decreases in circulating GH and IGF-1, regardless of age. (60)
Individually or in combination, poor nutritional status, inadequate sleep, and lack of physical fitness negatively impact body composition, bone strength, athletic conditioning, and cognition--independent of their effects on serum GH levels. (42)
It seems clear that an unhealthy lifestyle contributes to somatopause both directly, by causing profound reductions in GH secretion, as well as indirectly, by promoting the physical and psychological symptoms of accelerated aging.
At some point, depending on exercise duration and intensity, the rate of lactic acid formation in your muscles becomes greater than the rate of dispersion. This is known as the lactate threshold, and can usually be elicited at activity levels that demand between 80% and 90% of a trained athlete's maximum heart rate.
One of the easiest ways to surpass your lactate threshold is through resistance training, but you do not have to lift heavy weights to take advantage of increased endogenous GH. Several studies have shown that circuit training, which utilizes relatively light resistances, can be just as effective at driving GH release as a more strenuous workout. (64,69,70) Intuitively, circuit training might seem less intense than power training. However, circuit training calls for an increased number of repetitions per set and the rest periods between consecutive sets are often considerably shorter, typically on the order of zero to 30 seconds, versus a minute or two for heavier lifting.
If longer-duration, lower-intensity "cardio"-type activities such as running, cycling, or swimming are more your cup of tea, you may need to enhance your workouts to generate optimal GH secretion during exercise. Punctuating your usual, lower-intensity cardio routine with brief, all-out sprints every three to five minutes will rapidly push you to your lactate threshold.

As Libyan militiamen encounter rough going against the better-armed forces of Muammar Qaddafi, the calls for attacking Qaddafi's air force are growing in the United States.
On Sunday, three prominent US senators – John Kerry, John McCain, and Mitch McConnell – expressed support for a no-fly zone to prevent Libyan jets and helicopters from attacking civilians and the anti-Qaddafi rebel fighters.
Speaking on CBS's "Face the Nation," Sen. Kerry, who chairs the Foreign Relations Committee, ruled out the use of ground forces to topple the Libyan dictator.
But he suggested that "one could crater the airports and the runways and leave them incapable of using them for a period of time."
Speaking on ABC News' "This Week," Sen. McCain said, "We can't risk allowing Qaddafi to massacre people from the air, both by helicopter and fixed-wing [aircraft]."
