Fruits juices for healthy life

Tips - Squeeze at least one fruit drink a day. In this way you eat about 3 to 4 fruits so you can fulfill your daily need;
- Put some ice cubes in the blender with your juice. This cools your fruit drink quickly in summer;
- Put a little bit of banana in your juice mix and blend it like a milk-shake. This gives your fruit drink a certain softness and reduces the bitterness (caused by grapefruits for example);
- Take sweet fruits to blend. Use citrus fruits (oranges, red-grapefruits) as a basis and mix it in the blender with the sweet fruits of your choice. You can squeeze a jar of orange juice that you keep in the fridge and blend it with the fruit of your choice when you want to.

Tips for a healthy weight gain

1. It takes time to increase muscle weight.
Most athletes can successfully gain ½ to 1 pound per week if they eat enough food to meet their calorie needs and train properly. Increasing calorie intake by 500 to 1000 calories per day can help supply the extra calories needed to gain lean weight.

2. Choose higher calorie foods from all the groups in the Food Guide Pyramid.
For example, choose a multigrain bread over white bread, or juices and milk over water.

3. Eat larger food portions.
Increasing the amount of food that you eat at one time will supply the calories needed to gain muscle weight.

4. Eat five or more meals a day.
Eat plenty of high calorie snacks throughout the day.

5. Drink plenty of fluids that supply calories like juice, milk, milkshakes, and sports beverages.
For example, drinking 1 ½ quarts of grape or cranberry juice supplies 1000 calories. 1 ½ quarts of 2% milk supplies 720 calories.

6. Set realistic goals.
Hereditary factors can play a large role in physique. You are not going to look like Arnold if your parents look like Pee Wee Herman.
The following are some examples of high calorie snacks:

• A soft pretzel with cream cheese or peanut butter
• Milkshakes made with whole milk and ice cream plus powdered milk
• Dried fruit
• Bean and cheese burritos
• Bagel and cream cheese or peanut butter
• Baked potatoes with sour cream, cheese, or chili
• Granola and yogurt
• Muffins
• Peanut butter and jelly sandwich
• Cheese and crackers
• Blender drinks with fruit, milk, ice cream, or protein powders or powdered milk
• High calorie granola bars or energy bars

Tips to Gain Weight

• To gain weight you must eat more calories than your body burns off, so EAT MORE! The most important thing that I cannot over stress is that you need to eat to gain weight. You need to eat like you've never eaten before. (but not junk food like donuts and chips or candy). In other words, you need a weight gain diet.

• Start eating six meals per day (space them out to about once every three hours). This is a weight gain diet used by those who know what they're doing.

• Increase your protein intake and reduce your simple carbohydrate intake. Without protein your body cannot build new muscle.

• Keep your workouts under one hour. Short and intense!

• Concentrate on free weight exercises that work the large muscle groups. The best weight training exercises for building mass are the simple ones. For mass, stick with compound free weight exercises like squats, deadlifts, bench presses, barbell rows, pull ups and bar dips.

• Use heavy weights and low reps, rest 3 minutes between each set.

• Do only 2-3 exercises per body part.
