What can growing bonsai teach us?

Posted in General on July 2nd, 2008

Growing bonsai trees as a hobby can be a fine stress reliever, as it has been shown by some studies that taking up bonsai as a hobby aids in improving concentration, patience, and stills the mind from other mundane cares. When you are engrossed in trimming and pruning your bonsai trees, the cares of the outside world seem to fade into oblivion.

The next time you’re thinking of a hobby to take up, why not consider bonsai? Bonsai is not a difficult hobby to practice, although you need to learn the basics of watering, pruning, feeding and training (styling) them. But once you get the hang of it, a bonsai tree can last a long time, and maybe even outlive you!

Bonsai teaches us that being patient can have its benefits. For example, when you style a bonsai by wrapping wire around it, it takes months before the bonsai tree adapts itself to your “training.” Bonsai teaches us that life has its parallels, just like a large tree has a counterpart in its bonsai cousin. Bonsai also helps us to focus on our goals; when you’re tending your bonsai tree, you shouldn’t think about anything else.

Benefits of HGH in losing weight

Posted in General, Health Body & Mind on July 2nd, 2008

HGH or Human Growth Hormone has been found to be an efficient burner of fat, according to scientists studying this hormone, which is well known for its effects in slowing down aging, and helping one to live longer and healthier. Among the positive benefits to the body include restoration of sound sleep, rejuvenation of sagging and drying skin, renewing sexual vigor, and of course, helping in weight loss by aiding the body in burning away fat.

In fact, human growth hormone is probably one of the best fat burners around, because it is directly antagonistic to fat. When growth hormone levels in the body drop as a result of aging, lean body mass also appears to decline at the same time, while the overall percentage of body fat climbs up. It would appear that HGH levels are connected with body fat levels. How has this fact been borne out in scientific tests?

According to some studies, human growth hormone therapy combined with dieting appeared to burn away fat at double quick time. In a test in Sweden, after 6 months on HGH replacement therapy, body fat (and this includes abdominal fat) decreased by 30 percent overall in the test subjects, while the control group which received placebos recorded no changes.

What is highly interesting is that HGH seems to reduce the flab around the waistline. And while it burns off fat, it also helps the body put on or retain muscle mass. In anti aging, this is highly important, as loss of body mass almost always accompanies the aging process. Learn more about HGH and weight control.
