Coffee And Athletic Performance: Any Effect?

Does caffeine help athletic performance? Two studies offer conflicting findings.

The latest issue of the Journal of Caffeine Research offers two studies on the effects of caffeine on physical activities. One study (http://bit.ly/uogAQs) looks at how runners performed after consuming caffeine and the other (http://bit.ly/smWXiT, abstract only )considered whether caffeine provides bicyclists with a boost.

At the University of Memphis, researchers split 12 runners into three groups. One consumed caffeine by itself an hour before running 10 kilometers; another consumed caffeine in combination with a chemical known as 1,3-Dimethylamylamine, commonly used by athletes as an energy booster.

PRODUCT REVIEW: Isatori Isa Test GF

Isatori Isa Test GF is an all encompassing anabolic and testosterone supplement.  This increasingly popular brand delivers strength gains, muscle mass bulk, improved sex drive and function as well as inhibiting estrogen production in the body.  Isatori Isa Test GF works through the power of the active ingredients which include ZMA, Fenugreek (Testofen), Tribulus, Eurycoma Longifolia (Tongkat Ali), as well as Sagittatum (horny goat weed) and Turkestone (Ajuga Turkestanica).These ingredients are some of the best ingredients for testosterone boosting supplements and are used in many other brands as well.  ZMA or Zinc Magnesium Aspartate is well know for helping the body to recoup the lost minerals that come from intense physical exercise and stress.  Moreover, these minerals have been shown to be important to strength and virility overall.Fenugreek, a popular herb, has a long history of medicinal use as well.  This amazing herb is known to regulate the metabolism, help with digestion, and improve health overall.  More recently, Fenugreek has been looked at for its effects on other aspects of health.  Studies have revealed that this culinary herb can increase the use of fatty acids in mice, converting them into energy.  This process then led to decreased fat storage and improved muscular endurance.  Fenugreek also contains steroid saponins.  In another study, this in turn helped to improve motivation and reduce cholesterol levels in rats.  Fenugreek has also been found to powerfully increase glycogen levels in human subjects after exercise.What all this means is that the herb can help to increase testosterone levels.  One study found this to be the case in human subjects with an increase of 98 percent free floating testosterone levels accompanied by a reduction in body fat.  Both Tribulus and Tongkat Ali are both common ingredients in anabolic supplements.  Both work for some people really well, but not as well for others.  Nevertheless, most users of both of these testosterone boosters find that libido, energy, drive and strength gains are noticeable.Turkesterone has been found to increase muscle twitch, muscle based body weight, protein synthesis, glycogen concentrations and assist in the removal of lactic acid.  This accompanied with the active ingredients listed above, make Isatori Isa Test GF a pretty safe investment.  Most users report very good results.


British Study Suggests Mammograms May Do More Harm Than Good

THURSDAY, Dec. 8 (HealthDay News) — Women aged 40 and older who follow recommendations to have annual mammograms may do themselves more harm than good, British researchers report.

Study author James Raftery, a professor of health technology assessment at the Wessex Institute at the University of Southampton, said that “this is due to reduced quality of life of those who receive diagnoses that turn out to be false and to those who are treated unnecessarily.”

Women who plan to have a mammogram should be aware of the balance of harms and benefits and take these into account in deciding whether to get one or not, he said.

“Be aware of the harms as well as the benefits of breast cancer screening,” Raftery said.

When and how often mammography screening makes medical sense is currently being debated in the United States and elsewhere.
