5 things that are detrimental to health

1. Not eating isn't going to make you skinnier, it will actually cause you to bloat and make your body hold on to more fat. This is because the body goes into something called "starvation mode" Your body doesn't know when it will be fed next so it hangs on to fat to keep it functioning.

2. Not drinking water to have more veins. This is dumb because your body needs water to grow. Your body is mainly made of water why would you starve it from that? It's stupid. If you want veins decrease body fat, or take amino acids which increase blood flow.

3. not getting 6-8 hours of sleep. This effects your thinking process, causes mood swings, and your body wont grow if it's not getting enough sleep. Sleep deprivation destroys your health all around and makes you feel bad the next day in most cases relying on caffeine is no excuse.

4. Not making your meals before going to work. If you don't make your meals your more than likely going to eat garbage at a fast food restaurant. To avoid this prepare your meals for each day on the weekend and place the meal in plastic containers with labels. This will make you more organized and help you with eating healthy through the week which will make you more lively.

5. Avoid foods that contain a lot of sodium and high fructose corn syrup. High fructose corn syrup is hard for the body to digest and is bad for the liver. When you eat to much sodium it makes your blood pressure go way up. Salt also works on your kidneys which makes your body hold on to more water.

Blast your abs with 4 simple exercises

People always ask "how do you get abs." Well here is a simple workout for you to do to get abs visible. Of course a lot depends on your diet, but this should kick start your abs into a new direction. If you want your body to grow it will, a positive attitude is keen to building a lively body. If you think it will, it will. Simple don't wish for abs to appear do the work put in the time sweat and be consistent with the workout. Muscle confusion is good because if you do the same routine over and over your body will adapt to it so keep trying new exercises and workouts. This is just an sample of what I do on certain days. It's not complexed at all and not very time consuming. So give it a go. Things take time, so don't just quit, keep at it.



1. 3 sets of 10 sitting down trunk twists
2. 3 sets of 10 weighted situps
3. 3 sets of 10 straight bar leg outs on bench press
4. 3 sets of 10 weighted toe touches

Using weights versus not using weight well make the abs grow more, after all abs are muscles much like the bicep. If you use weight it will force toe abs to grow, but this means the abs will need rest as well like any other muscle group.

Love, peace and Aesthetic

I say these three words because it is important for the self to not only build their body, but also build their inner peace. When working out I get a sense of peace with myself. I can take out the days stresses on weights or when I go on a run. A lot of people look at running negatively and think "OH, this is going to suck." Think of it as a chance to embrace the beauty of Earth at a faster than walking pace. You can speak to yourself to push yourself to the limits that you made or go beyond those limits that you and we create. It's an amazing thing, when you believe the pain you feel from a workout isn't real what you can achieve (obviously as long as you don't hear muscles tearing and bones being crushed by the hammer of God.) Pun. It's important to love ourselves and recreate ourselves into something new, being through reading and gaining knowledge, gym or both. Showing Compassion towards other's is important because it shows we have feelings and care about whomever it may be, family, friends etc. The purest of intentions fault sometimes and you can't get discouraged by failure. Failure is simply a learning curve and tells us that we need to make adjustments to surpass failure. The fire will always burn within and it eventually burns through and that's when you have brush yourself up and make adjustments to gain your desires. Just because the temple topples over doesn't mean you can't bring the pieces back together.

Health philosophy by Brendan Dean

It is our duty as a species to READ the ingredients in our food. Take more than a glance at the food before you buy it. Actually read the ingredients on the back, when you begin to see food additives with names that you haven't heard of like "enzymes, or mono carbonate, MSG, GMO etc. just to name a few. If you don't know what it is, chances are it's not good for you. I always read the back of foods before I eat them. You ever pick up a pack of oreos or any sweet treat and feel that you can't stop eating them? The reason for this is because the high amounts of high fructose corn syrup. High fructose corn syrup is fake sugar which destroys the liver over time, it makes your body work harder to get rid of it and without a decent diet you will gain weight. When people eat shit food and wonder why they don't get good results it's because of the additives in the foods their eating. You can't eat Twinkies regularly and expect abs. Would you expect a girl to want to be with you if you constantly ignored her? NO, same with your body you cannot deny your body proper nutrients. Bad foods don't have anything good in them for your health. The human body was meant to eat for health and to work properly not for taste. You didn't see cavemen eating oreo's, twinkies, and cake on the regular. That's why they were cut up and ripped. This doesn't mean you can't enjoy yourself every now and then. Just be weary of the choices your making, the choices you make will dig your grave and will end with horrible health problems down the road.
