We are all relatively unfamiliar with the “corpus luteum”, what is it, and how we should regulate it, we will talk about it in detail.

01What is the corpus luteum?

Normally, after ovulation, a hematoma is formed, which after a few days turns yellow and is therefore called corpus luteum. It is actually a “cell mass” formed by the remaining follicles and other cellular tissues after ovulation. It secretes the natural hormone progesterone. The corpus luteum is responsible for the endocrine function of the ovaries and is the main source of estrogen and progesterone after ovulation.

02What causes luteal insufficiency

After ovulation, the luteum is underdeveloped, does not produce enough progesterone, or degenerates prematurely, resulting in a decreased secretory response from the endometrium. The incidence of luteal insufficiency in women of childbearing age is about 3-10%. Insufficient or incomplete corpus luteum function is detrimental to embryo implantation, and even if the embryo does implant, biochemistry may occur.

03How to regulate luteal insufficiency

(i) Prompt medical attention:

Hospitals will usually provide direct luteal support, HCG injections; progesterone supplementation; and promotion of follicular development, depending on the circumstances. Inflammation is dealt with before pregnancy, with anti-inflammatory treatment, suppression of inflammatory factors, and vigilance during preparation for and pregnancy as well.

(ii) Food regulation:

① Intake of black beans as well as other soy products is recommended. Usually can drink some black beans made of soy milk, tofu and other foods, rich in progesterone and plant hormones, and easy to absorb and digest.

② recommended intake of peanuts, hazelnuts and other nuts, containing a large number of phospholipids, can effectively improve the quality of the body, but also can play a role in maintaining the skin.

③ can often eat some kiwi, figs, hawthorn, strawberries and other foods, can promote the secretion of estrogen in the body, regulate the endocrine, so that the body is more healthy, maintenance of the ovaries.

(c) Moderate exercise:

Girls with luteal insufficiency still need to do some exercise to improve their physical fitness and promote the function of the corpus luteum. But when exercising, you must pay attention to the difficulty and time of the exercise, and prohibit too intense exercise.

Appropriately reduce the amount of exercise. You can choose exercises that are performed daily and are easy to adhere to. For example, fast walking, jogging, yoga exercise, simple aerobics and so on. Be careful to reduce the amount of exercise and exercise time, relax, slow down, appropriately reduce the amount of exercise, play a role in relaxing the muscles, stretch the body, and appropriate sweating can be.

Why do doctors tell you to eat less sweets when you have a stomach bug?

If you have any queries or suggestions, please feel free to reach out via email to info@harisonfitness.com. We will do everything in our capacity to ensure that you love your experience with us.

Sweets are loved by everyone, and the satisfaction it brings is not only on the tongue, but also activates a good mood, so sweets are also known as “sugar-coated bombs”. For gastric patients, not only hot pot, pickled these stimulating food can not eat more, sweets should not eat more.

01Why you should eat less sweets if you have stomach problems

It has been experimentally confirmed that 60% of the experimental rats with gastrointestinal diseases that were fed a large amount of sweets for up to 6 months had worsened gastroenteritis, increased the concentration of bile-loving bacteria in the intestines, and even evolved into ulcerative colitis. This also proves that excessive intake of sweets will make the gastrointestinal inflammation increase and worsen the condition. Therefore, the reason why you should not consume sweets when you are suffering from gastric problems is that sweets have the effect of inducing inflammation, and consuming too much of them will aggravate the disease.

 

Not only that, eating too much sweets will inhibit the production of stomach acid, which can cause some obstacles to the treatment of patients with indigestion, bloating and other symptoms.

 

Today we are targeting sweets that contain a lot of fructose, and fructose is divided into two kinds: one is a single-cell fructose; the other is a multi-cell fructose, such as candy, milk tea, chocolate we usually love to eat usually have sucrose, glucose and so on.

 

1. Pickled sweets

Many people think that pickled foods are pickled with salt, in fact, there are some foods in the production of the pickling process added a lot of sugar, so that the food tastes salty and sweet and delicious. This type of food contains a lot of salt, sugar and fat, if you take too much, in addition to cause obesity, but also may lead to indigestion, gastritis, thus affecting gastrointestinal health, so this type of food should not be eaten.

 

2. Cake

For people with gastrointestinal disorders, some cakes can’t be eaten as well, because many cakes have high trans fatty acid content. In addition to cause obesity, it will increase the burden on the stomach and intestines, preventing normal digestion and absorption, and even increase the burden on blood vessels, promote blood sugar rise induced cardiovascular disease, so cakes should also try to eat less.

3. Candy

Candy is extremely high in sugar content, even just one candy may affect the blood sugar steady, and every 100g of candy in the trans fatty acid content can be up to 0.8 grams or more, people with gastrointestinal diseases must pay attention.

02How much is the right amount to eat in a day for people with stomach problems

Although many patients recognize that they should reduce their intake of sweets, there should be a standard maximum daily intake of sugar in order to control it. For different gastric patients, there is a difference in the control of sweets.

 

Normally, an average adult can consume up to 50g of sugar a day. According to the reference standard suggested by the School of Medicine of Central South University, most gastric patients should consume less than 25g of sugar per day, which can be adjusted according to their daily diets.

Gastric patients are also accompanied by obesity and hyperglycemia and other complications, it is necessary to further limit the amount of sugar intake per day also need to be further reduced, can be controlled at about 15g. Of course, excessive intake of sugar is not conducive to health, just in the case of gastric disease, more attention should be paid to eat as little as possible.

 

In order to get well soon, a reasonable dietary arrangement is very important, in addition to sugar to limit, some heavy oil and salt will stimulate the stomach of other foods should also reduce the intake, to avoid worsening of the condition.

Let’s not scare ourselves! Here is a “battle-experienced” “Lamaze birth breathing method”, quickly take a look.

01What is Lamaze Productive Breathing

“The Lamaze Birthing Breathing Method, also known as “Psychoprophylaxis for Natural Birth”, is a pre-labor workout for pregnant mothers that trains you in neuromuscular control, prenatal gymnastics, and breathing techniques, and is suitable for use in the 7th trimester of pregnancy – labor and delivery.

I. Contour Breathing

Purpose: The whole body relaxes, and the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the body is maintained.

Method: Slowly take a deep breath in through the nose and slowly exhale out through the mouth. (Like blowing out a candle.)

Chest Breathing

Time: At the initial stage, the uterus opens 2 to 3 cm. each contraction lasts 30 to 50 seconds, with an interval of 5 to 20 minutes.

Method: The mother-to-be relaxes completely. Eyes on a fixed point; inhale through the nose, can feel the chest contour puffed up, mouth exhalation, the chest contour slowly return to its original position, the abdomen to remain relaxed; roughly 6 to 9 times per minute, breathing smoothly, the amount of breath evenly.

Third, shallow and slow accelerated breathing

Time: Accelerated stage, uterine opening 4 to 8 cm. This is the longest and most strenuous stage of labor for the mother-to-be, with contractions occurring once every 2 to 4 minutes for about 1 minute each time.

Method: The mother-to-be relaxes completely and gazes at a fixed point. Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth; synchronize your breathing with the strengthening and slowing of the uterine contractions.

V. Closed-air exertion exercise

Time: The cervix is fully open (10cm). At this stage, the fetus will be delivered at any time and it is also the most difficult time. The length of this period is determined by whether the mother-to-be will push. Therefore, it is necessary to grasp the uterine contractions when exertion, and the uterus stops contractions rest and completely relax, in order to obtain the strength to struggle again.

Sixth, blowing out candles exercise

Time: When you can’t push, but you can’t help but want to push.

How to do it: Breathe quickly by blowing out candles.

Last but not least, labor is a physical activity and it is difficult to complete this arduous process without sufficient energy.

It’s amazing how drinking sports drinks the wrong way can lead to weight gain?!

Sports drinks are the drinks that many people choose to hydrate themselves with during their training routine. Most of them are brightly colored, high value, but also love in the gym selfie handsome men and women indispensable photo props. So what is the role of sports drinks, whether it has an effect on the human body, I believe that many people do not understand very clearly. Especially in the end will not get fat problem, is the answer that many people want in their hearts. Want to understand these questions clearly, we have to answer from the composition of sports drinks, role, drinking time and other aspects.

 

01Are Sports Drinks Good for Workouts

Most of the ingredients in sports drinks are composed of water, glucose, fructose, sodium and calcium. We greatly consume hepatic glucose stored in the liver and muscles themselves during normal physical exercise. When this part of the element is insufficient, it will blood sugar will be lowered, the performance of exercise will be decreased, and the body will begin to fatigue. At this time, drinking sports drinks, you can through its carbon hydrate in it in time to replenish the liver sugar consumed in the exercise, to a certain extent, it is able to replenish people’s physical strength, which is also the reason why it can be popular in the market.

 

In addition, as the human body in intense sports exercise, sweating will be greatly elevated, which will cause the body’s lack of water and electrolyte disorders. Sodium and potassium in sports drinks can replenish electrolytes to the human body in time, therefore, sports drinks can not only replenish water to the human body in time, but also improve the electrolyte disorder phenomenon in time. Therefore, intense exercise to replenish water, sports drinks are effective.

02Drinking sports drinks during non-exercise periods can be fattening

From the previously mentioned list of ingredients of sports drinks, we can find that sports drinks contain a large amount of sugar. In ordinary life, our body electrolytes are in a normal state, if this time, still drink sports drinks, it is equivalent to replenish a large amount of sugar, and the normal state of the human body can not consume excess sugar, it becomes a factor in the hoarding of fat. We all in the non-exercise state, do not recommend drinking sports drinks, it will cause human obesity.

 

Can I drink sports drinks when I am in a state of exercise? It varies from person to person. For example, many friends fitness is for fat loss and slimming, in addition to burning fat in sports, but also need to create a caloric deficit, that is, consumption is greater than intake. If fat loss friends drink sports drinks and constantly replenish sugar, they will greatly reduce the consumption of fat. Sports drinks for fat loss and slimming friends, it is not suitable as a drink to replenish water in the workout.

Among other things, when the intensity of exercise is not so high, usually the body’s electrolytes do not become disturbed, and this stage is not suitable for sports drinks. This is because there is no need for it, the body’s own consumption has not reached a high level, the body itself is fully capable of using it, and there is absolutely no need to replenish electrolytes. Therefore, unless it is a fierce high-intensity exercise, sweating a lot, only need sports drinks, otherwise, it does not come in handy much. Don’t be overly enamored with sports drinks; in the end, underneath its glamorous exterior, it’s just a sugary drink.

 

Also, be careful how you drink sports drinks. Although it contains electrolytes, but the content is small, and can not fully maintain the balance of the body’s electrolytes, its main body is still mainly water. After intense exercise, with a large amount of evaporation of sweat, a short period of time to replenish a large amount of water is very easy to cause water intoxication. Therefore, when you drink sports drinks, you should take a slow, small amount, many times to replenish water. After intense exercise, it is very important to choose the right way to drink.

 

To summarize: sports drinks are able to replenish a certain amount of electrolytes and a small amount of carbohydrates after an intense workout, and they have a certain value. But often many friends drink sports drinks as soon as they exercise, without considering the intensity of their own exercise, it is not worth it, because when replenishing water, it will also replenish a lot of sugar.

Dynamic bicycle is the first choice for family fitness, convenient, does not take up space, fat loss effect is also very good, but there is no correct use of dynamic bicycle but easy to cause physical injury.

01Possible Hazards of Dynamic Cycling

(1) Knee injury

As a relatively low-impact sports in addition to jogging, dynamic cycling, although belonging to the more gentle movement, but because many drugs to the same action repeated many times, so it is easy to accumulate small injuries and cause team knee damage. Some statistics show that riding an hour of car, pedal about 5000 circles, equal to the knee joint in an hour of bending and stretching 5000 times. As the legs in the bicycle pedaling process repeated circular motion, easy to cause the cartilage in the knee joint overload and damage. And the sudden braking, accelerating, and stopping during bicycle riding also puts more pressure on the knee.

(2) Thickening of legs

Dynamic cycling exercise gives a full workout to the quadriceps, gluteus maximus, posterior thigh muscles on our thighs, and the flounder and gastrocnemius muscles on our calves. Need to be clear when the dynamic cycle can indeed play a good role in shaping these muscle groups, enhance the strength of the lower limb muscles. However, for some athletes who have more fat in the lower limbs themselves, the increase in leg muscles may lead to thicker legs to a certain extent.

(3) Superimposed on the upper limb exercise easy to injury

At present, many dynamic cycling training courses will add some upper body training exercises. However, from a professional point of view, the combination of upper body and lower body exercises will reduce efficiency and calorie consumption. Therefore, in the dynamic cycling training, swinging the upper body is not only counterproductive, in the long run will also damage the body, there are security risks.

02How to regulate to avoid injuries from workouts

Before training on a dynamic bicycle, it is necessary to adjust several positions, especially the seat height, handlebar height and the sequence of the seat.

Adjust the seat height so that the highest part of the seat is in line with the horizontal height of the thigh lift. Adjust the handlebar height so that it is in line with the seat height. Note that the handlebars should be adjusted further up if the trainer is pregnant or has health problems such as back strain.

Seat fore and aft position. When adjusting the seat fore and aft position, we’d better get in the car to make the adjustment. First the hips are at the farthest end of the seat and with the footrest at its lowest point, place the heel of the foot on the footrest so that the leg can be straightened or have a slight bend. Next, with the footrest still at its lowest position, place the forefoot on the footrest so that the knee curvature is 23-35 degrees. Finally, with the footrest at a level, check that the knee and the middle of the footrest are in a straight line.

Any exercise program can cause knee strain. So we must do a good job of warming up and stretching before playing sports, and master the correct sports posture.

After reading the above hope can let you correctly use the dynamic bicycle, happy sports ~!

When you start to lose weight, what do you have to eat so that you don’t get hungry fast? What snacks can be eaten during the day to satisfy your cravings? This article together to explore exactly!

01How do you regulate your diet?

The basic principle of weight loss is always “calorie intake <calorie consumption”, overweight people come up to exercise can easily lead to joint injuries, you can start with a standardized diet, so that the body fat to be consumed, and gradually reduce the weight to a certain extent with the start of the exercise, which can further increase the consumption of calories, but also let you have more lines.

Overweight obesity recognizes that the most worried about losing weight is that you can not eat meat, in fact, chicken breast, duck breast, seafood and other white meat with low fat content, you can eat, but also rich in protein, but also pay attention to the white meat with high content of unsaturated fatty acids, the daily control of about 50g on the good.

02Root causes of weight gain

For the most part: the culprit that makes you fat is eating too many refined carbohydrates. After all, foods with a high GI are digested quickly and absorbed well as they enter the intestines, and glucose is able to enter the bloodstream quickly leading to the production of high blood pressure and high blood sugar, which are common in obese people. In the long run, the sugar that is too late to be broken down will also be converted into fat and stored in the body, and you get fatter and fatter, with a better appetite.

High oil, high sugar can improve the color, aroma and taste of food and widely loved by consumers. Overweight and obese people often like to eat high oil, high sugar food, in addition to high salt food will stimulate the appetite, resulting in excessive energy intake, thus leading to weight gain.

03Lose weight and eat these more effectively

For this reason, it is still not recommended to eat takeout during the weight loss period, at the same time, do your own fat loss meal can be fine carbohydrates and other low GI, satiety and strong do replace —.

Purple potatoes and sweet potatoes meal texture is soft and rich in fiber, so relatively strong sense of satiety, in addition to purple potatoes are also rich in selenium and anthocyanins, used to replace the staple food is our common choice.

Yam and taro nutritional value is not much difference, relatively speaking, taro calories a little lower. It is rich in trace elements and vitamins, which dietary fiber content is relatively high, moderate consumption can promote their own gastrointestinal tract peristalsis, accelerate the human body for toxins and residue discharge, conducive to weight loss and fat loss.

Oats are rich in dietary fiber, can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, conducive to defecation, low calorie, low glycemic index, lipid and glucose, is a kind of balance between nutrition and not fat health food, can be appropriate instead of part of the staple food.

04Snacks for the Obese

First of all, we must avoid the intake of high-energy foods, such as: fried foods, cream cakes, dessert snacks, cream bread, ice cream, high-sugar drinks, etc., it is best not to eat, really can not help but eat some other weight loss suitable for snacking it.

Preferred snacks with less oil is freeze-dried fruit, according to research, its fat content is generally below 1%; you can compare the fried dried fruits and vegetables, their fat content can rise to 10% to 20%, so try to eat it.

When you crave sweets, you can replace them with high-protein snacks, such as chicken sausage, chicken breast strips, etc. Even if the calories are the same, high-protein is relatively healthier and more satiating than carbohydrates.
