Increase Your Sex Output With Proper Input

Monday, June 28, 2010

ATTENTION WARRIORS… Want to INCREASE your Sex Drive?

Here’s list of Beneficial Foods that may Improve Your Sex Life:

PART ONE (of this two-part article):

  1. DARK CHOCOLATE: My Personal Favorite, Dark Chocolate contains Theo Bromine (an Alkaloid), which is similar to Caffeine. It also contains Phenylethylamine (a chemical which produces the “Feeling in Love” affect) and Serotonin (Positive Mood Booster). Dark Chocolate endows a hefty amount of Anti-Oxidants, which help maintain the Immune System. NOTE TO MY WARRIORS: I’ve fostered the words, “Dark Chocolate” on purpose; not to be confused with milk or white chocolate (lacking the benefits thereof).
  2. OYSTERS: High in Zinc, which raises sperm and testosterone production. Oysters also contain Dopamine, a hormone known to increase libido.
  3. BANANAS: These contain the Bromelain Enzyme, which is believed to Increase Libido and Reverse Impotence in men. They are also a good source for Potassium and B Vitamins like Riboflavin, which increases the body’s overall energy levels.
  4. AVOCADOS: Known as the “testicle tree” by the Aztecs, avocados contain high levels of Folic Acid, which helps Metabolize Proteins, thus giving you more energy. They also contain vitamin B6 (increases male hormone production) and Potassium (aids in regulating a woman’s thyroid gland). These two elements help increase libido in both men and women.
  5. ALMONDS: The (as well as many other variety of nuts) are an excellent source for Essential Fatty Acids. They provide the Raw Material for a man’s healthy production of hormones.
  6. EGGS: Considered to be “The Perfect Protein”, eggs are also high in Vitamins B6 and B5, which help Balance Hormone Levels and Fight Off Stress- Vital for a healthy libido. Suggestion: Don’t exclude all your egg yolks unless you have to. Why? Try looking at the egg as a Complete Whole… The yolk contains all of the Essential Fatty Acids found in the egg, including the important Omega-3 fats. They also contain more than eighty percent of the Vitamins and Minerals , including Iron, Potassium, Folate, Selenium, vitamins A and E, and the B vitamins (as mentioned earlier). When eating egg yolks or the whole egg, you’re getting valuable nutrients that are absent from egg substitutes and egg white products. Egg yolks are also a good source of Carotenoids which help to protect against Macular Degeneration of the Eye as well as Choline which is important for Brain (the “other” thinking tool) Health.
  7. LIVER: A good source of Glutamine (Cellular Fuel for your Immune System), liver may increase libidos known to be “slow to the punch”.
  8. FIGS: Packed with Amino Acids, figs are believed to increase libido. They can also improve Sexual Stamina.
  9. GARLIC: Harboring Allicin, an ingredient that increases blood flow to the sexual organs, garlic is highly effective for boosting libido. If you can’t stand the taste or smell; Garlic Capsules are your next best thing.
  10. CELERY: It can be a great food source for sexual stimulation. This is because it contains Androsterone, an odorless hormone released through male perspiration- known to turn women on. Best eaten Raw.
  11. WATERMELON: Loaded with Citrulline (an Amino Acid), Watermelon helps improve blood flow to the heart, genitalia, and the rest of the body. Citrulline relaxes blood vessels, producing an effect similar to drugs like Viagra. Something to Remember:  Citrulline is more concentrated within the watermelon rind than in the flesh; but there’s still a sufficient amount of citrulline in the flesh to make eating it worthwhile.
  12. ASPARAGUS: Abundant in Foliate (B vitamin), Asparagus helps Increase your Production of Histamine. Proper levels of histamine play a crucial role in sex drive for both men and women.
  13. PUMPKIN SEEDS: Not only are they extremely rich in zinc, Pumpkin Seeds are easier on the wallet, too. Ladies, Did You Know: Zinc deficiency can make a woman completely lose her sex drive?
  14. CHILIES: These bad boys are stock-piled with Capsaicin, a chemical which increases blood flow and triggers the release of mood-enhancing endorphins.
  15. NUTMEG: Long used in Indian Medicine to boost libido, Extract of Nutmeg has been shown to have the same effects as Viagra.
  16. BROCCOLI and BRUSSEL SPROUTS: High in Indole-3-Carbinol, a compound that helps reduce Estrogen Levels, both are great libido boosters in men (although they can have the opposite effect in women).
  17. SOY BEANS: A 2008 study in the Journal of Sexual Medicine showed that a healthy dose of soy each day may boost some women’s sexual drive and arousal. This may be due to the large Phytoestrogen content of soy products. Important Notes to Remember: Women with a history of breast cancer should not eat large amounts of soy, as the Binding of Estrogen Receptors can actually increase the chances of Cancer’s Re-occurrence. I would also like to mention one more caution (take it or leave it)- I do my best to Avoid Genetically Modified Soy Products. Who knows what scientists may find out in the future… If it Isn’t Natural… It’s NOT for ME!

All in Great Health… All for You Warriors!

Breathing With Purpose

Friday, June 25, 2010

From Wikipedia

Breathe :

Verb

to breathe (third-person singular simple present breathes, present participle breathing, simple past and past participle breathed)

1. (intransitive) To repeatedly draw air into, and expel it from, the lungs in order to extract oxygen from it and excrete waste products (*)(**)

Many don’t understand how to Breathe Properly.

Breathing should be a concentrated action. The more you focus on your breath, the more you become aware of yourself and the less likely you are to improperly execute your decided movements.

Your breathing may be improved through exercise, meditation, and proper nutrition. When corrected, proper breathing will enhance your overall performance- both in and out of the ring or gym.

How? Whatever you do physically, your breath is always involved (whether voluntarily or involuntarily). Observe: Whenever you lift, punch, kick, sing, speak, etc… What happens? Your collected air escapes forcefully, under certain pressure. Try a hearty laugh. What do you feel? If you really focus, you’ll feel your entire midsection expand and tighten at the same time. This is Exactly the way you want to incorporate your breathing when performing any tasks.

So What? You literally form a protective “air packaging” around your spine by utilizing your diaphragm and core.

Try This Mental/Physical Exercise: Stand in front of a mirror and IMAGINE building an Octagon (piece by piece-8 sides)  just below your chest. First, Breath in from the ground, up; until your lungs fill with air (lower to upper lungs). Then, while controlling your air-release, breath out and imagine this octagon being built to completion, clockwise, and piece-by- piece. Do this exercise three times in a row (first octagon for the front, second for the back, and third for the middle of spine; infusing the other two octagon patterns together), forming All Three Octagons as One Unit. This mental and physical attribute will consciously (even sub-consciously) keep your core strong and unify your spine with your entire midsection, front to back. Finally, Repeat the full exercise twice a day, morning and night.

Benefit: This exercise will Mentally and Physically keep your core in constant check; eliminating a great amount of back pain and potential spinal injury. Soon, you will be able to apply this technique to almost any form of exercise or movement you execute.

By the Way… Have you checked your Heart-Rate lately? Here’s a Fox and Haskell Heart Rate Chart for Self-Evaluation:

The Art of Weight Distribution

Thursday, June 24, 2010

Formulas? 70/30? What the heck am I writing about?

My last article was based on “The Perfect Side Kick“. To better understand this, you must grasp a simple, yet very crucial tool needed for great fighting: Weight Distribution.

Let’s feel what I mean… As always, Practice Makes Perfect.

  1. Get on the tips of your toes (in your fighting stance) and lightly bounce a little without leaving the ground. Move forward and backward, side to side, diagonally. Feel your weight shift? Now, even out your balance and feel “grounded” on both feet. This formula should be: 50 (f)front/50 (b)back… Simply put: An even split of 100% .
  2. Now let’s do the Proper Fighting Stance (Next Article Coming Soon) Formula: 70(f)/30(b)… This is Foundational. Your stance may vary slightly, plus or minus; but the standard remains. Now, replace your front foot with your back foot (as explained in “The Perfect Side Kick“). Did you feel the weight in your front foot transfer to your back foot, just for a quick second?.. Each foot had 100% of your total body weight on it; but only for a brief moment. Try alternating back and forth a few times until it becomes easier. You should practice this movement until you really get the hang of it. The more you know your body, the more your possibilities will increase. As you feel the “shift”, imagine the  values changing as you vary your Primary Positioning…

Try This Exercise: 70(f)/30(b)[Primary Stance Position]<> 80(f)/20(b) [your weight is shifted more toward the front foot]<> 50(f)/50(b)[the values are even]<> 20(f)/80(b) [your weight is shifted more toward the rear foot]<> 70(f)/30(b) [back to your Primary Position]. It’s a little exaggerated, but you get the point. Soon, this type of calculated movement will be natural to you.

Keep your eyes peeled for more Warrior Writing…

The Perfect Side Kick

Monday, June 21, 2010

We’ve seen the honorable Bruce Lee and his amazing Power Side-Kick… How does he do that? My Warriors… Let’s go over the “Basics”.

Purpose: This “super-charged” side-kick creates a large amount of distance between you and your opponent. It’s also great for follow-ups (i.e.: advancing attacks). There is, however, a good and bad way to perform such an awesome power move.

  • Horrible: Pushing into your side-kick
  • Excellent: Snapping into your side-kick

How Can I Master such a technique? Answer: Snapping Your HIPS and Shifting Your Weight Properly…

Formula for Power Side-Kick: 70(f)/30(b) Stance<>Fake<>100(f)<>100(b)<>Snap+Twist+Thrust=  Power Side-Kick

Begin with your comfortable fighting stance. Make sure you utilize the weight exchange on your front and back feet. This is usually a 70(front foot)/30(back foot) weight distribution (check out my article on “The Art of Weight Distribution”).

Create an opening with a fake jab or a double movement (Keeps your timing “out of whack” for your opponent… makes him Guess… makes him Uncomfortable). You usually have, at most, a one(1) second (usually less) window of opportunity. This “feign” also sets your hips in correct motion for your side-kick.

Execute your kick…It’s hard to stop once you begin (like a freight train), so practice your accuracy to a tee. If you do this correctly, you will actually feel a wave of your weight+inertia following through- almost knocking you off balance. Your back foot must replace your front foot with a very slight, dragging/floating motion. As your back foot lands, twist and thrust your hips at the same time; drilling your full weight into and your heel through your specified target. A great example is Water: When concentrated, a stream of water will explode upon impact. Whatever the initial force, the energy being transferred, should be 10 times (if not more) that during collision. Improper execution of this kick will be a weak push (with a bit of pain to the hips and back). Proper execution will be a clean, cut “snap”. You’ll feel it… More importantly, you never forget the experience. The bag or person will seem weightless. Also, this “snap” will reset you for the Follow-Ups.

Follow-Up! Now’s the time for Relentless Follow-Ups. You may go straight into a Jiu-Jitsu Mount and Ground&Pound or Non-Stop Knock-Out Combos. It’s up to you.

As always: Ask and You Shall Receive! I love intelligent questions (Health, Fighting, Food, Lifestyle, etc.). I shall do my best to accommodate accordingly…

This Weeks Question: Are You Running Correctly?

Tuesday, March 9, 2010

Next time you see a runner zooming by you… Observe…

Is this runner landing on the heel or the ball of the foot? How should you run?

Distributing weight incorrectly through the body causes joint, spine, and neck damage. I would like my warriors to remain in one piece and be in optimum condition with conservation of energy distribution in mind. Whether sprinting or long-distance running, you should land on your toes (as light as possible) at all times. Correct distribution of energy will give your run an amazing amount of high-energy output, low energy expenditure…  I recommend starting with a simple walk-on-the-toes; gradually increasing throughout the week (or more- your body will tell you what is right and wrong- follow it) into a springy, light jog. Keep in mind… No matter what, the heels never touch the ground! Soon your run will EXPLODE! I know… I decreased my distance time (for an 1/8 mile) by 5 Seconds the first time I applied this technique to all-out sprint!

Benefits: 1) Explosion of the Calves (increases explosion for nearly all athletic activities) 2) Toned Legs, Buttocks, Thighs 3)Lower-Body Circulation 4)Higher Energy Output,  Less Waste of Energy, More Conservation of Energy (you will outdo your opponent in endurance) 5)Less Back Pain…

Amazing what a small adjustment can do.
