Hello everyone,
We are now in March, We need your donations, Your support is needed and welcomed. Become a member today and donate. February has ended. What an interesting month I have finished a great book THE GENIUS OF FLEXIBILITY By Bob Cooley I suggest anyone interested in flexibility and a great new way to stretch to check this book out. I am so excited to stretch now this stretching method feels just the way stretching should have. I learned ways to work on my flexibility that I had never understood before. I have taken on some more fitness courses that I am looking forward to finishing. I am still driving forward with business ideas. It is really tough trying to fit a 40 hour work week, training, and school while trying to get a fitness business up and running. I am up for this challenge. Speaking of challenges as I am trying to bring all the confusion and chaos in my life under control I learned a great lesson from my teacher. I had talked about how to correct some thoughts his answer to me was just do it. There was a long conversation and he said something and I answered I would try. I thought about that and realized that I use I try as an excuse so that if I fail I can justify it. I find that if I use I will in place I can only succeed. I have not failed with this thought yet. For this month I am reading a book called THE OTHER MINDS EYE By: Alllen C Sargent. It is very interesting so far it is about nlp and reworking our thoughts into a positive way. That is all for now. We really do want to publish what interests you so let us know. We will be moving forward with all our plans and will be updating regularly. Please come back and view the edge regularly.
Remember we are still looking for people to write articles and submit information. Feel free to email any questions or concerns to: tthomas@warriorsrealm.net

Untold Nutritional Secrets
by: Gary Matthews
A good understanding of nutrition and how to use the information will be extremely rewarding for anyone. We can all prevent disease and fight infection utilizing a powerful medicine 'Food' Using nutrition and supplementing your diet is the key to fat loss and muscle gain. Have a look at these Nutritional Secrets and discover how to stay disease free, feel great, look good and live longer.
Lets take a look:
How Much Protein Do I Need - Protein is a normal part of out diet; a nutrient widely distributed among animal and plant foods, and it plays many essential roles in the body. Dietary protein has two possible fates - it can be either used in growth and repair or burned for energy, like carbohydrate and fat. Sedentary person: 0.75 grams/lb/day, Recreational athlete: 1.00 grams/lb/day, Serious athlete: 2.00 grams/lb/day.
Protein Cycling - Since strength training greatly increases the rate at which protein is broken down in the body, it follows that 0.75gms per Pound is inadequate. On the other hand to increase the intake of protein to say, 3.0gm per Pound straight away would trigger mechanisms to eliminate the excess protein.
One way to overcome this is to increase the protein in steps until a maximum efficiency point is reached and then it is drastically reduced. This obliges the body to compensate by increasing the efficiency for the absorption of protein and amino acids.
Why Carbohydrates? - Carbohydrates supply energy to out body, fibre for prevention against disease and taste and texture to food, they are found in cereals, potatoes, fruits and vegetables. Recommended: 4 to 12 grams/lb/day. Over the last 30 years, research into food and blood glucose response has completely changed our carbohydrate classification system.
It has been learned that it is impossible to predict the impact on blood glucose levels by certain foods, instead people are fed carbohydrate foods and the response measured. This response is known as the Glycaemic Index (GI), it is a measure of how quickly carbohydrate foods are digested and absorbed, as indicted by elevated blood glucose. The slower the rate of blood glucose increases the lower the GI.
Super Foods - In the food industry super-foods are called "functional foods". These foods provide a health benefit beyond the simple provision of nutrients or energy, and usually target a specific disease or condition. In most cases media headlines about the disease-fighting capacity of foods are hyped up versions of current research reality. Below is a summary of what some super-foods can and can't do for you.
Vitamins and Minerals - In general an adequate intake of vitamin and minerals can be achieved with a balanced diet. However, there may be a strong rationale for supplementation in specific nutrients.
Herbals - The latest herbal super-stars include Echinacea, gingko, and St John's Wart. They don't pitch themselves as lifesavers, but more as life-maximizes, helping you to get through the day with less disruption from colds, memory failures, blue moods, and more.
Supplements - To supplement or not to supplement, that is the question on more consumers' lips than ever before. There are various reasons why people may be interested in supplementation. Concern about getting adequate nutrients from our food supply. A Suspicion of pharmaceuticals and a belief that diet alone will not achieve optimal nutrition.
Studies suggest that a number of supplements may deliver on advertising claims. However, consumers can spend large sums of money on products that have little or no proven efficacy.
The Bottom Line On Supplements - your diet that might achieve your goals but choose only products that shows the amount of active ingredients on the label. Be aware that "natural" does not mean 'safe'; some herbal supplements may have unpleasant side effects. Don't treat serious medical conditions yourself. Discuss supplement use with your doctor. If you are pregnant or are breast-feeding consult a doctor before taking supplements.
Only Eat the Good Fats - Eat the good fats and feel and look great, Authorities now agree that fat is essential for maintaining optimal health. If good healthy skin and fast metabolism is what your after then you must eat some fat. The good fats are found in fish, nuts and seeds, avocados and cold pressed oils. Avoid fried foods and saturated fats as these raise cholesterol and clog arteries.
Eat A Variety Of Foods - For protection from the majority of illnesses such as heart disease and cancer you need a variety of foods that deliver that mix of nutrients and minerals. Aim to eat different coloured fruits and vegetables.
Try to eat a different food each month. Eat an apple a day as the apple pectin cleanses the body's digestive system by removing toxins and therefore preventing degenerative health problems such as cancer.
In conclusion, I am sure if you can apply even just a few of these tips to your everyday eating habits I am pretty sure you will see the results in the not to distant future.

Personal Security Awareness
By Jimmie Newell
It is a sad commentary on our society that we should even have to worry about
our own personal security. Unfortunately there really are people who watch our
every move, just to see if we will let our guard down, even for a moment, that
is when they will make their move.
The buzz words are Identity Theft, ATM Security, and Internet Fraud, and there
are many, many more scams with new ones coming to light all the time. However
lets just talk a little about being aware of those 3, some of the ways they
work, and how we can combat them.
Identity Theft can happen many ways, the risks are very real, however with the
formation of a few judicious habits, we can go a long way toward prevention of
this crime of opportunity.
Cut down on the number of credit cards you carry, and never give the number over
the phone or Internet, unless you have purposely initiated the transaction.
Never give out your social security number.
Buy a paper shredder and use it to shred all personal trash from your home or
business.
Never include address information on your key ring.
By very careful with the personal information you give to anyone you don't know,
it takes very little information for the unscrupulous people in our midst to
start building their new identity to match you.
ATM Security
Find out from your financial institution if video surveillance is being used at
the ATM machines you typically use.
By very careful that someone standing near you cannot see you enter your pin
number.
Internet Fraud
Never open an email attachment from someone you are not familiar with, or were
not expecting to receive.
Never give personal information on a web site if you did not initiate the
contact via a link you have used to contact that company before. I get at least
1 or 2 scam emails a day, that look exactly like the real thing, no matter how
convincing they sound, almost no legitimate company or financial institution
will ever send you an email asking for account numbers or any other personal
information, most will not ask you to clink a link within that email. if they
ask you to contact them, be sure you enter a link you trust.
If you accept credit cards over the internet, be very wary of multiple orders
from the same person using different cards, they are almost always stolen.
