This full range, biologically active, complete amino acid profile protein naturally contains an exceptional amount of the critical glutathione precursor covalentbonded cysteine. Additionally, Whey Cool whey protein contains the full range and exceptional levels of the most important protein components, which are lactoferrin, immunoglobulins, serum albumin, active peptides and growth factors.

	:: NEW RUMBLEROLLER FOR SELF MYO-FASCIAL RELEASE ::
Common Foam Rollers Compress Soft Tissue Physical therapists, trainers, and athletes use foam rollers to relieve muscular pain and tightness (often called "adhesions", "knots", or "trigger points"). But conventional foam rollers have smooth, hard surfaces that further compress soft tissue. Rolling on top of them improves blood flow and tissue flexibility, but the effect is limited and relatively superficial, unless you spend a lot of time rolling. The RumbleRoller » was created to perform this therapy more effectively. It manipulates soft tissue like a Massage Therapist! The surface of the RumbleRoller contains 200 specially designed "bumps". The bumps are firm, but flexible, much like the thumbs of a massage therapist. It relieves muscular pain and tightness throughout your entire body as it’s specifically optimized for SMFR (self myo-fascial release). Exercises with the RumbleRoller are also featured »

	:: RE-EXAMINING THE VALUE OF AEROBIC EXERCISE PART II :: by Charles Staley, B.Sc, MSS Director, Staley Training Systems
Obviously, compared to a sedentary lifestyle, aerobic exercise is quite beneficial. The people I'm trying to reach with this message are those individuals who are not competitive aerobic athletes, but who nevertheless spend between 5 and 10 hours a week in the aerobic zone, for the purpose of improving their appearance. These individuals (and there are legions of them) would benefit by reducing their volume of aerobic exercise, and incorporating resistance training into their program. Even aerobics instructors have intuitively known this for quite some time. Every time I walk past an "aerobics" class in a health club, or if I happen upon one on TV, they're lifting weights. Small ones, of course— they need to guard against gaining too much muscle. Funny how most men have a tremendously difficult time gaining muscle, despite grueling weight lifting programs, while women claim that they grow like weeds just thinking about lifting! Why is this?

	:: CRAVING SWEETS & SHEDDING WEIGHT ::
An easy fix is by starting to drink more black tea! It contains a variety of specialized carbs called polysaccharides that make it especially effective (more so than even green tea) at slowing glucose entry into the blood stream. This is key to warding off erractic blood sugar fluctuations. These polysaccharides also inhibit alpha-glucosidase, an enzyme that converts starch into glucose to further help stabilize blood sugar. Drink three to four cups of black tea daily, spread throughout the day. For best results, let the tea steep for 15 minutes to draw out all the important compounds, and avoid milk or cream as it hinders the body's absorption of tea's beneficial compounds.
