intervalThe definition of interval training is a short workout with high intensity, followed by a longer period to recover. For example, you ran a sprint for 20 seconds, then you walk for 60 seconds.

Well, interval training can burn more calories because of the intensity of his training. The faster you burn 3,500 calories, the faster you burn fat. You can do interval training with other training methods, including running, swimming, bicycling, and aerobics.

Interval training allows you to practice with a higher intensity than aerobic exercise on an ongoing basis. Because when you combine a very high-intensity exercise with lower intensity, your body is able to process lactic acid production, thereby reducing fatigue. Thus you are also able to burn calories and fat at a faster rate, compared with aerobic exercise is more intense and longer.

Increased ability to burn fat
Practicing at a high intensity as well take advantage of short-term energy system of your body: ATP-PCR system and glycolytic system. ATP-PCR system uses creatine phosphate deposits in the muscle to high intensity exercise that lasted no more than 10 seconds. But if the exercise you do take up to 3 minutes, it means you are using glycogen, which is a form of glucose storage.

Well, if you consistently practice in a high intensity with both these systems, you increase your capacity to train harder, so more calories and fat are burned quickly.

Calories and oxygen consumption after exercise
When resting, your body needs oxygen and calories from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, to survive. You need more calories and oxygen to perform the exercise, especially high intensity. Even if you stop practicing, your body still needs the calories and oxygen to bring you into the recovery phase. Your body uses more calories and oxygen to recuperate after interval training than after aerobic exercise.

Do twice a week
You can burn calories and fat faster when you undergo training interval of at least two days a week (with a gap of two days). Even so, you need to use the ratio of different exercise-rest to prevent excessive exercise and reduce injury. For example, on your first session ran sprints for 15 seconds and walk 45 seconds, for a total of 20 minutes. The second session of the week, running sprints 60 seconds and walk for 3 minutes, for a total of 30 minutes.

You need to know, meaning sprint faster than your normal running speed, but slower than the maximum of your ability.

You want to try? This exercise is easy to do, and do not require any equipment. You can ask a friend to calculate the duration of his training.

2. Clean Beds of All Disorders
Set aside your bed only for sleep and sex. Avoid the desire to watch television while lying in bed, or playing video games, or using a laptop on the bed. Do not be too tempted to do the calculation of bills on the bed, or conduct discussions on the bed. This will make it difficult to fall asleep.

3. Consistent with Wake Up Time
Those who have problems with daytime sleepiness are often advised to go to sleep and woke at the same time each day, including weekends. However, when you suffer from insomnia, and had difficulty sleeping, you will feel frustrated if the peg hours of sleep and wake up the same hour every day. If you do have the problem of insomnia, it is advisable to start peg the rise time only. Do this for several weeks, or months to build a rhythm. By wake up in the same hour every day will help build rhythm sirkadia. If you do this, and found it hard to sleep at night, you will feel more sleepy at bedtime the next day.

4. Promote Sleep By Slowly
Other steps to be more consistent with the sleep schedule is to try to advance the sleep time of 15 minutes each day for 4 consecutive nights. Then hold the last time. Gradually advancing sleep time have the possibility to succeed rather than promoting sleep an hour earlier abruptly.

5. Time Consistent and Healthy Eating
Not only time to sleep, but regular meals will help regulate the rhythm sirkadia. Eat breakfast and lunch are healthy and on time, will prevent shortages in the daytime. Be sure to eat at night time paused at least 2-3 hours before bedtime.

6. Sports
Exercise, especially aerobic (exercise movements over and over) can usually help the body more quiet and easy to fall asleep at night. Sport provides energy and helps you think more sharply. But avoid exercise 3 hours before bedtime.

7. Repair Schedule
If you think that was possible to sleep 8 hours at night, then you need to rearrange your daily schedule. Move a few activities at night to another time. Try reducing the work that was not too important. Getting enough sleep at night help you produce better in the rest of your day.

8. Afternoon Sleep Time
Napping too late can disrupt the rhythm of your sleep at night. Avoid falling asleep in the afternoon.

9. Create a Soothing Sleep Ritual
Relaxation rituals before sleep can distinguish sleep time from daily activities, particularly stressful. Try to do meditation, soaking in warm water, listening to quiet music, or reading a book. Or maybe drink a cup of warm herbal tea.

10. Meet the Sleep Expert
Excessive sleepiness during the day can cause sleep disorders. If you always feel tired during the day, although you can sleep soundly at night, you might have a sleep disorder. We recommend that you find an expert to sleep, or doctor to find out the main problem.

akuTraditional medicine from China has been long considered as an alternative method for treating pain, like headaches, lower back pain, or nausea. Primary treatment is to balance the Yin and Yang in the body. When there is a disease caused by imbalance of Yin and Yang, the needle inserted at several points of the body to smooth the way ci (energy), for normal body functions.

According to the MRI scans, acupuncture works directly to the brain to reduce the pain that we experience. Thus, the effect of acupuncture is recognized more than just psychological. The researchers said the technique used will limit the activity in the parts of the brain involved in measuring pain, thereby reducing the ability of the mind to process pain.

Activation of some areas of the brain involved in pain perception regulated through acupuncture. Previously, we have conducted experiments at the University of Duisburg-Essen in Germany, who studied the brain scans of volunteers who were given a mild electric shock without acupuncture. Then, given electric shocks again when acupuncture needles placed between the toes, under the knee, and close your thumb.

Last year, The National Institute for Clinical Excellence has said it will support this traditional treatment with the doctors suggested to consider acupuncture as a treatment for cases of lower back pain is not specific.
