9 Health Warning Signs You Should Never Ignore

Your heart isn't called a ticker for nothing. When it runs like clockwork, it’s a terrific little machine. But when it doesn't, it can be a time bomb. For the 46th Vice President of the U.S., the bomb went off – about five times, starting with his first heart attack at age 37 and ending in a seven-hour heart transplant procedure at age 71 in March 2012.
“Here you have a guy who has had angioplasties, by-pass surgery, statins, beta-blockers, an implanted defibrillator (it detects and treats arrhythmias to shock the heart into a regular rhythm), a left-ventricular assist device (it pumped blood throughout his body for two years) and a heart transplant. All this stuff is new,” Dr. Kukin says. “Everything we do in cardiology today was not taught when I graduated medical school in 1982.”
All of these breakthroughs are good news for you because as the field of cardiology has evolved, so has doctors' understanding of crucial symptoms patients should never dismiss, especially if you have a family history of heart disease.
“The heart has so many different levels of areas where you can get into trouble. You can have ventricle problems (arrhythmias), plumbing problems (coronary artery disease), mechanical problems (weak heart muscle) and structural problems (ruptured aorta),” Dr. Kukin says. “If something feels different, don't try to self-diagnose. Seek medical attention,” he advises.
The big question: What kind of doctor should you see? Should you call your family doctor, or 911? Do you need a routine exam, or the E.R.? Read on and we’ll tell you what moves to make for each symptom.

“Dick Cheney is a perfect example of how much the field of cardiology has advanced over the past 15 years,” says Marrick Kukin, M.D., the director of the Heart Failure Program at St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital in New York City and professor of clinical medicine at Columbia University's College of Physicians & Surgeons.

1. Crushing chest pain associated with nausea, vomiting and sweating

This is the classic symptom of a heart attack. Some symptoms are very obvious, but variations of these could be subtle. Also, keep in mind, they don't all always spell heart attack.

YOUR MOVE: Call 911. Even if your symptoms don’t feel life-threatening, that’s not for you to diagnose. They could get worse fast.

2. Chest pressure that feels like an elephant is sitting on you

People define their experiences differently. For one person it's pain, while for the other it's pressure. Regardless what you call that funny feeling in your chest, don't risk it.

YOUR MOVE: If the pressure lasts more than 20 minutes, call 911. For shorter periods of discomfort, call your regular doc for instructions – depending on your symptoms, she may send you to the E.R., or help set you up for a battery of tests.

3. Back pain that resembles a tearing sensation usually in the upper back

It could be a pulled muscle. Or it could be something far more serious: a rupture of the aorta. Jonathan Larson, the playwright who wrote the hit Broadway musical Rent, died of a ruptured aortic aneurism.

YOUR MOVE: If the pain starts during or after exercise or following a trauma or injury, see your regular doctor, especially if it shifts to another part of your body (other than your chest). If the backache comes on unprompted and persists for more than 20 minutes, plus is accompanied by nausea, call 911.

4. Tingling in the arms

Another textbook definition of a heart attack symptom. The numbing sensation starts in your chest and radiates down your left arm. It can also appear in your neck, right arm, teeth and stomach.

YOUR MOVE: For tingling alone, see your regular doctor. But if it lasts for more than half an hour and triggers other symptoms (seemingly-unrelated to arm motion), such as dizziness and nausea, call 911.

5. Undue fatigue while doing your regular chores

This one is very common in women. If you're doing your usual housework or running errands and, all of a sudden, are finding yourself feeling especially tired, it could be a sign of a cardiac condition.

YOUR MOVE: Make an appointment with your regular doctor immediately. It could be aging, or stress, or even lack of sleep. But it may be something worse. Your doctor can help find the root cause and direct your treatment.

6. Shortness of breath during any activity, such as walking

Another pretty significant sign that something could be wrong. Especially when paired with chest pain or pressure that goes away when you stop doing the activity. Also, having trouble breathing while lying in bed is a possible sign of heart failure.

YOUR MOVE: Sitting upright in bed might make you feel better. If it doesn't and you're still having trouble catching your breath or are breathing rapidly for more than 30 minutes, call an ambulance.

7. Indigestion

Here’s one that always throws people off. It's an easy excuse to snub the situation. It's even more confusing when you belch and feel relief. But the truth is, indigestion may be a serious sign of coronary disease.

YOUR MOVE: Take two Tums, Mylanta or Nexium and then watch the clock. If the discomfort doesn't disappear within half an hour, call your doctor and ask whether or not you should take a trip to the E.R.

8. Swelling

Swelling, or edema in medical terms, is caused when the heart is not pumping adequately. If you're feeling weak and exerted while walking or have swollen ankles, plus are experiencing difficulty lying down at night, then you've got a whole slew of suspect symptoms.

YOUR MOVE: Make an appointment with your doctor immediately.

9. Irregular heart beat (abnormal palpitations) and arrhythmias (a racing heart beat

These are surefire signs that you need to go in for an evaluation. Everyone has a little heart hiccup now and then or rapid palpitations from stress or too much caffeine, but the key difference in danger is if this comes with symptoms like dizziness, light-headedness, and fainting.

7 Wonders of life!

10 HEALTHY EATING HABITS

Eating a healthy diet is critical, not just for weight loss, but for maintaining proper health. As the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute points out, a healthy eating plan reduces your risk of developing high blood pressure. Eating healthy also provides more fuel for your body, reducing your risk of developing a vitamin or mineral deficiency.

CHEW THOROUGHLY

Chewing your food thoroughly gives your body a jump-start on breaking it down for digestion, reduces the amount of air you might gulp while eating, and gives your brain time to recognize that your body is full.

LIMIT PORTIONS

Serve yourself small portions whenever possible -- you can always go back for more. This further slows you down so that your body has time to tell your brain it's full, and reduces any temptation or pressure to overeat just because the food is in front of you.

ASK FOR A DOGGY BAG

Don't force yourself to clean your plate when dining out. If you're not hungry anymore, either share your food with a friend or take it home for leftovers the next day.

EAT ENOUGH

You need the calories and nutrients from a well-rounded diet to keep your body working. If you "crash diet" or starve yourself to lose weight quickly, you may suffer from vitamin or mineral deficiencies. Your body might actually reduce its metabolic rate to survive, making it harder for you to lose weight in the long run.

TREAT YOURSELF OCCASIONALLY

Allowing yourself the occasional treat makes it easier to stick to a healthy diet on a continuing basis. Once you've adapted to a healthy diet, the old unhealthy treats no longer tempt you; but you can still give yourself the gift of a sweet, healthy treat, like fruit with dark chocolate drizzled on it.

ELIMINATE SOME FATS

Each gram of fat contains nine calories, more than twice the calories in a gram of protein or carbohydrates. That's a good reason for cutting as much fat out of your diet as possible. But not all fats are bad. As Australia's Better Health Channel points out, mono-unsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats like omega-3 fatty acids can have some health benefits. Lower your intake of saturated fats and trans fats instead.

SUBSTITUTE INSTEAD OF ELIMINATING

A healthy diet doesn't have to feel like a prison sentence. Instead of eliminating all your favorite foods, find ways of making them healthier. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offer the example of turning macaroni and cheese from a calorie-dense, high-fat meal into a healthier meal by adding spinach and diced tomatoes, using less butter, and using light or non-fat cheese and milk.

AVOID PROCESSED FOODS

Processed foods tend to be high in calories and preservatives and low in nutrients. Eating whole-grain versions of the same foods -- bread and cereals, for example -- automatically ups your nutrient intake, giving your body more of what it needs to function well.

FOCUS

You might have to multi-task to get through the day, but make eating a single-tasking activity. As the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention point out in the article "Portion Size," it's easy to overeat without realizing it if you're focused on something else. Turn off the television, put down your book, and focus on enjoying each snack or meal.

SNACKING

Expert recommendations on just how many meals you should eat through the day vary. But if you're genuinely hungry -- instead of just experiencing a food craving -- your body needs the fuel. Allowing yourself a healthy snack between meals, like pre-cut vegetables or fruit, can help get you through the day feeling sated. You'll be less likely to grab unhealthy snacks or overeat at the next meal out of sheer desperation.

10 Foods that may help with your ACNE!

Acne is an inflammatory skin condition in which excessive oil production and clogged pores lead to pimples, blackheads and whiteheads. Although men are more prone to serious acne, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center, symptoms generally last longer in women. Though acne is not considered serious, it can cause pain and, in severe cases, scarring. In addition to positive hygiene and medications, when necessary, certain foods may help reduce acne.

Fatty Fish

Fatty fish contain omega-3 fatty acids -- healthy fats that support heart health and reduced inflammation. Dr. Nicholas Perricone, dermatologist and author of "The Acne Prescription: The Perricone Program for Clear and Healthy Skin at Any Age," recommends omega-3 fats as useful acne-reducing dietary tools. For maximum benefits, incorporate fatty fish, such as salmon, tuna and sardines, into your diet regularly.

Flaxseed

Flaxseed contains rich amounts of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids. Since ground flaxseed is more easily absorbed than whole flaxseed, purchase pre-ground flaxseed or grind whole seeds in a coffee grinder for best results. Flax oil may provide similar benefits, according to Perricone.

Walnuts

Walnuts contain valuable amounts of omega-3 fatty acids and are rich in protein and fiber. Add chopped, diced, whole or ground walnuts to baked goods, cereal, yogurt and smoothies.

Whole Grains

Whole grains are rich in nutrients, fiber and glucose -- your body's main energy source. As low-glycemic foods, whole grains affect blood sugar levels mildly. According to an Australian study published in the "Journal of Dermatological Science" in November 2007, low-glycemic foods may help reduce acne. In the study, 31 male acne patients, ages 15 to 25, consumed a diet containing 45 percent low-glycemic carbohydrates or a diet in which glycemic index was uncontrolled for 12 weeks. By the study's end, the participants who consumed the lower-glycemic diet had fewer acne symptoms. For potentially similar benefits, replace enriched carbohydrates with whole grains.

Carrots

Carrots contain rich amounts of carotenoids -- a type of vitamin A that provides exceptional antioxidant benefits. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, vitamin A may provide effects similar to those of retinoid drugs -- medications used to treat acne. Enjoy fresh, cooked or juiced carrots regularly for maximum benefits.

Avocados

Avocados are valuable sources of fiber and healthy, unsaturated fat. Avocados also provide anti-inflammatory effects that can benefit acne-sufferers, according to Perricone. He recommends replacing saturated fat sources, such as butter and cheese, with avocado in sandwiches and salads.

Leafy Greens

Leafy green vegetables, such as spinach, kale and mustard greens, also provide rich amounts of carotenoids. One half-cup serving of boiled spinach or kale provides more than double most Americans' recommended daily intake of vitamin A, according to the Office of Dietary Supplements. Eat a variety of leafy greens for maximum benefits.

Lean Poultry

High-fat protein sources can increase your risk for high cholesterol and heart disease. Lean sources, such as skinless chicken and turkey, however, promote cardiovascular health and blood sugar balance. Poultry is also rich in zinc, which may help alleviate acne, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center. Replace red and processed meats, such as hamburger and bacon, with lean poultry routinely for best results.

Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes provide valuable amounts of fiber and nutrients, including carotenoids. They are also lower in glycemic index than processed carbohydrates, such as instant potatoes, white bread and sweets. Enjoy sweet potatoes baked, mashed or roasted, keeping the skin, which is rich in nutrients.

Vegetable Soup

Vegetable soup is a versatile food that suits an acne-alleviating diet. Make your own soup, incorporating vitamin A-rich vegetables, such as leafy greens and carrots. One cup of canned vegetable soup supplies more than 100 percent of most adults' daily recommended vitamin A intake, according to the Office of Dietary Supplements. Adding poultry, salmon or tuna to your soup adds zinc. Salmon and tuna also provide omega-3 fatty acids.

6 Creative Ways to Add More Eggs to Your Diet

Hearing a fellow fitness professional prescribe breakfasts of egg white omelets to a client is like hearing nails on a chalkboard to me. Half of the protein inside an egg is inside the yolk, and egg yolks contain many beneficial nutrients as well, including B vitamins such as choline. One whole egg contains about 6 grams of protein and approximately 70 calories, which make eggs a healthy and low-calorie, high protein food choice.
Eggs have some serious bragging rights when it comes to nutrition, and I might even dare call them a superfood.
The best thing about eggs is that they are incredibly versatile. You can eat them at any time of the day, not just for breakfast.

Here are six creative ways to add more eggs into your diet:

1. Add a hard boiled egg to any green salad with veggies to make a complete meal.
2. Add soft boiled eggs to a bowl of quinoa for a protein-packed new twist on lunch or brunch.
3. Go Mediterranean and design a plate with hummus, olives, pita, and eggs cooked "over easy."
4. Make a healthy high protein party appetizer for your dinner guests to enjoy instead of filling up on chips and other carbs with empty calories. Try this spicy deviled egg recipe for a home run!
5. Crack an egg into a chicken noodle soup, and stir it around until it cooks evenly. For vegetarians and pescatarians, I make a yummy non-chicken soup with peas, noodles, veggie stock, and eggs.
6. Add a poached egg to a pasta dish to increase its protein value. Italian restaurants will often add egg on top of a creamy Carbonara pasta dish, but I like to make healthier versions subtracting the cream and adding veggies and an egg on top.

5 MOST OVERRATED EXERCISES

Some exercises become so common that few people take the time to question their validity. Perhaps they began as specialty exercises intended for use in specific contexts -- by patients in rehab, for example, or by advanced bodybuilders who need the most challenging variations of certain movements. Some trainers noticed the exercises worked for those specific trainees in those specific situations and started pushing the workouts toward the middle, to be used by everyone. Over time, the exercises become a bit too popular, and they end up vastly overrated.
But keep in mind that "overrated" does not mean "bad." It simply means there are better choices than those that are currently popular.

The Ab Plank and Side Plank

The plank makes sense in yoga, where you hold the plank pose for a few seconds then transition into another pose. It makes sense in rehab, too, where the goal is to build awareness of optimal body alignment in a static position.
And when trainers began to use it for entry-level clients, it seemed like a great idea. After all, people who exercise should be able to hold a plank -- with their body weight resting on their forearms and toes, in the classic pushup position -- for at least 30 seconds.
The reason this exercise is overrated, though, is because trainers too often recommend the beginner version without ever showing progressions to more advanced and useful exercises. Once you have an awareness of what it feels like to have a properly aligned torso, and once you have a base of core stability, you need to move on to exercises that challenge your stability dynamically. That's where it counts. Maintaining alignment when you're moving is the difference between getting hurt and staying in the game.
Two examples of how to progress planks and side planks from static to dynamic exercises are the pushup and the walking lunge.
If you can hold a pushup position for 30 seconds, you may as well progress from that to sets of 15 pushups, using a 1010 tempo. It's still 30 seconds in the plank position, but now you've added a dynamic challenge.
Once you can manage this, do 15 pushups with one foot off the floor, at the same tempo. Then switch feet, and do 15 more.
When these variations are easy to accomplish, do 15 pushups, at the same tempo, lifting one hand off the floor after each rep. Then switch hands, and do 15 more.
And once these are no longer challenging, start T-roll pushups, such as those featured in the Resources section. T-roll pushups cover your front plank, side plank and rotary control -- all in one exercise. Plus they build dynamic control, which always has more athletic carryover than static variations.
The side plank is more challenging than the front plank, and fewer people can hold it for 30 seconds on each side right off the bat. But once you get to the point where that's easy, the same principle applies: You need to learn to use that lateral stability during dynamic movement.
One excellent exercise is the walking lunge with an unbalanced load. If you can do walking lunges with 35-lb. dumbbells in each hand, try them with a 70-lb. dumbbell in one hand.
It takes tremendous lateral stability to keep yourself upright when all the challenge is coming from one direction. And as a bonus, you'll work your entire lower body as well as your core -- and the gripping muscles in your hands and forearms aren't just along for the ride.

Hanging Knee Raise

In some cases, intermediate and advanced lifters get stuck doing beginner exercises, but the hanging knee raise is an example of the opposite situation: an advanced exercise that's become popular with intermediates.
The hanging knee raise is a great choice if your abs are strong enough to tilt your pelvis upward from that position. In other words, you don't want to just raise your legs in the air. While that's a good way to work your hip flexors, it's not working your abs through a full range of motion. For that, you need to be able to lift your legs and tilt your pelvis upward.
It's extremely hard to do, which is why very few people you see hanging from elbow straps and lifting their legs in the air are able to complete the exercise. You could say the same thing for the knee raise from the captain's chair, which may be an even worse choice because it encourages you to stop the movement before completing it with the pelvic tilt.
First, try to perform the hardest version of the reverse crunch exercise. If you can't do this, you've got no business doing hanging leg raises, because you certainly aren't doing them well.
Lie on your back, holding a broomstick, or something else that's straight, solid and light, directly up over your chin. Your feet are off the floor with your knees bent at about a 90-degree angle. Roll your hips up and pull your knees to your chest without lifting your head off the floor or moving the bar from the starting position.
If you're strong enough to do that, you're probably strong enough to try hanging knee raises. If you aren't, do reverse crunches on the floor -- or on a decline bench with your head higher than your hips -- and focus on building the strength to do that pelvic tilt.

Close-Grip Seated Cable Row

It's clear why lifters like to do close-grip rows using the triangle attachment: They can use more weight and the contraction feels more intense throughout their shoulder girdle. That's because the shoulders are more internally rotated, which involves chest and shoulder muscles along with the lats. When you do the exercise, it will feel like you're using more muscle -- because you are. You're also putting your elbow flexors into a stronger position, thanks to the neutral grip.
But because you leave off the final 2 to 3 inches of your full range of motion on a rowing exercise, you're not getting a complete contraction of your lats and traps.
If you'd like a better alternative, try a slightly wider, neutral-grip row if your gym has that attachment. If not, simply use those PVC-style handles that are attached to straps. What you may sacrifice in load with either of these grip options, you'll make up for with the greater range of motion -- and perhaps greater involvement of your middle traps and rhomboids in conjunction with your lats.

The Leg Press

Some bodybuilding coaches offer passionate defenses of the leg press, arguing that it's a good choice for some lifters in some situations. And this is indeed true. But the reverse is also true: It's a poor choice for most lifters in most situations. That's because when you do the leg press, you become a part of a machine that resembles a huge accordion -- with you in the middle. That is absolutely the wrong position to be in when handling a heavy weight. The higher you place your feet on the platform, the more hip flexion you create. And the greater the hip flexion, the faster you lose the natural lordotic curve of your lower back. Just as you wouldn't do a deadlift with a rounded back, neither would you want to push a heavy weight on the leg press from that position.
If you feel that back squats don't hit your quads hard enough, try front squats. When those grow boring, try split squats. These options are much safer on your back and have more functional carryover to real-life and sporting actions.

Tire Flips

There's no doubt about it: Tire flips are one of the coolest-looking exercises you can possibly do. It's also one of the most dangerous moves and a perfect example of a contest-specific exercise created for advanced-strength athletes that just got too popular.
Florida-based personal trainer Rob Simonelli agrees. "Tire flips are best used for folks who'll have to flip tires in some sort of strength competition," he said.
Furthermore, hardly anyone has the hip mobility to do it right. Just about everyone, including Strongman competitors, goes into lumbar kyphosis -- a rounded lower back -- when they bend down to grip the tire.
World-famous, Boston-based strength coach Mike Boyle said, "Most people don't have bad backs. They've got bad hip mobility, which causes their bad back."
When it's used as a training exercise, the goal is to work the posterior-chain muscles, like the lower back and the hamstrings. That's something you can accomplish very well with deadlifts.
The only real benefit to doing tire flips is the fact they're often done outside, where other people can see you doing these stunningly badass exercises. But "because it's badass" isn't necessarily a good reason to do it.
Always try to keep in mind that the reason you're exercising in the first place is to improve -- your health, your strength, your body or your attitude. So focus on exercises that help you advance toward this objective, and skip those that don't.

10 Health benefits of COFFEE!

If you rely on coffee to get through the day, or just to get it started, you might be lacking sleep or something in your diet. Nobody, after all, is ever going to mistake coffee for health food.
But like wine, chocolate and popcorn, coffee has joined the ranks of unlikely foods with health benefits. An increasing body of research has found that drinking coffee—even four or more cups per day in some instances—provides health benefits. And a 13-year study of 402,260 AARP members conducted by the National Cancer Institute, which was published May 17 in the "New England Journal of Medicine," concluded that devoted coffee drinkers were associated with a reduced risk of early death by up to 16 percent.
“This is perhaps the most compelling because the study was so large,” says Robert Davis, at Emory University’s Rollins School of Public Health and author of “Coffee is Good for You: From Vitamin C and Organic Foods to Low-Carb and Detox Diets, The Truth About Diet and Nutrition Claims.” He noted that the study was observational, so it doesn’t prove cause and it effect.
Though drinking coffee excessively can increase levels of the stress hormone cortisol and foster a dependence on caffeine, here are ten areas where coffee consumption just might be beneficial – if you limit the cream and sugar.

1. Gallstone Prevention

Harvard researchers in 2002 found that women who drank at least four cups of coffee a day were at a 25 percent lower risk of gallstones. An earlier study found similar results for men.

2. Depression Prevention

Women who drank two to three cups of daily coffee were 15 percent less likely to develop depression, and those drinking four cups were 20 percent less likely, according to a 2011 report in the "Archives of Internal Medicine." 

3. Memory Improvement

Coffee can help with both long- and short-term memory. In a 2005 study presented at the Radiological Society of North America, researchers found that consuming two cups of caffeinated coffee improved short-term memory and reaction times.
Interestingly, a 2007 study found that women -- but not men -- who were 65 or older who drank more than three cups of coffee each day performed better on memory tests and were less likely to show memory decline than those who drank just one cup a day.
Although researchers have known for some time that coffee can decrease the risk of Alzheimer’s disease, researchers at the University of South Florida in 2011 found that a distinctive interaction between caffeine and coffee might be why. They recommend drinking four to five cups daily, starting in middle age, to increase GCSF, granulocyte colony stimulating factor, which is decreased in Alzheimer’s patients and improves memory in mice. 

4. Less Risk for Diabetes

Studies suggest that coffee drinkers are less likely to develop Type 2 diabetes, with those putting away four or more cups daily 50 percent less likely. A January 2012 report in the 'Journal of Agricultural & Food Chemistry" might explain why. It attributes the effect to compounds in coffee that block hIAPP, a polypeptide that can result in abnormal protein fibers, which are found in people with Type 2. 

5. Decreases Cancer Risk

Coffee consumption has been associated with decreased risk of breast, endometrial, prostate and liver cancers, and those linked with obesity, estrogen and insulin. A 2008 Swedish study found that drinking at least two to three cups a day reduced the risk or delayed the onset of breast cancer.
A 2011 study in "Breast Cancer Research" found that drinking five or more cups could translate into a 20 percent less chance of developing estrogen-receptor-negative breast cancer. And, citing research on coffee’s effect on diabetes, researches also found that drinking more than four cups a day was linked with a 25 percent reduced risk for endometrial cancer.
But it’s not just the women who luck out. A recent study out of the Harvard School of Public Health found that both regular and decaf coffee resulted in reduced risk of prostate cancer. 

6. Metabolism Boost

Coffee might help you maintain -- or even lose -- weight. A study as far back as 1980 found that the caffeine found in coffee stimulates the metabolism, but that only “normal,” rather than obese, subjects experienced greater oxidation of fat.
A 2006 study confirmed that the metabolism-boosting benefits of coffee were greater -- and lasted longer -- in lean women. More recently, researchers discovered that ground green coffee beans taken as a supplement seemed to promote weight loss -- an average of 17 pounds in obese adults during a 22-week period. Researchers didn’t think it was the caffeine; rather, they credited the chlorogenic acid, which might reduce glucose absorption. 

7. Lower Risk for Parkinson’s Disease

The "Journal of the American Medical Association" in 2000 found that the caffeine intake associated with coffee translated into a lower risk of developing Parkinson’s. A 2010 study found that drinking two to three cups of coffee daily can mean up to a 25 percent less chance of developing the disease. 

8. Antioxidative Properties

Harvard researcher Edward Giovannucci, in research published in "Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention," noted that coffee has more antioxidants than most vegetables and fruits. In fact, a 2005 study found that coffee is the No. 1 source for antioxidants in the American diet. That’s a reflection of the volume of coffee consumed in this country, and how much is making it into the bloodstream is unclear. 

9. Performance-Enhancing Benefits

Coffee -- and the caffeine in it -- has been shown in multiple studies to increase both endurance and short-term performance. A 2008 study concluded that the benefit of caffeine before exercise occurs during endurance events, stop-and-go events and long-term high-intensity activity. It also can help athletes perform better during strength training -- even when sleep-deprived -- if taken one hour before exercise at the rate of 4 mg for every kg of body weight. 

10. Gout Prevention

A 2007 study of men older than 40 linked long-term coffee consumption with a lower risk of gout, an inflammatory condition caused by elevated levels of uric acid. Decaf and regular both had an effect, and those drinking six cups a day experienced as much as a 60 percent lower risk of gout.

The Best Productivity Apps for 2016

Buckle down and get productive with these excellent apps for managing your work, organizing your life, collaborating with teams, and much more.

Get off of email. Stop wasting time in meetings. Work smarter, not harder. You've heard it all before. The advice and mantras all over the Internet about making yourself more productive could fill libraries. But there's no one-size-fits-all solution to being more productive. It depends so much on who you are and how you process information, not to mention the details of your work and life: What do you do, and how do you do it?
That's why this list of the best productivity apps is nearly 60 items long. Some productivity tools help you handle email because a big part of your life is handling email. Others automate various aspects of your life so you can get back to doing hard work that requires creativity and focus.
With the right productivity apps and services at your fingertips, you can increase your efficiency and get more done. People seem obsessed with productivity these days, but few actually think about what it is or what it means.
To me, the meaning of productivity is highly personal, but ultimately, it's about achieving goals. It's about making the most of your time so that you have time and energy left over to do more.

What Are Your Productivity Goals?

In the traditional sense, the phrase "increasing productivity" means making more money, making more goods, or both. But being more productive now has a much broader meaning. Your goal could be anything from maximizing profits in a business to getting a nine-to-five job done faster so that you have some mental and physical resources left over to pursue personal interests at home. Some people want to get out of the office faster each day to spend more time with their family. Some people want to put in two hours of work each night writing a movie script.

Being more productive is all about figuring out how you want to live your life and making it possible.

What is Productivity Software?

An entire classification of software, productivity software, is devoted to making our work easier and ourselves more productive. It goes way beyond the more old-school definition of office suites, like Microsoft Office, and business applications.

If there's a task to be done, whether it's personal or for your job, there's a productivity app that will help you do it faster, cheaper, and more efficiently. From browser plugins to services that help you maintain important relationships, productivity apps aim to do it all—or at least, try to help you do it all.

Productivity Apps for Individuals

In this age of DIY solutions and the accompanying focus on self-reliance, there are plenty of productivity apps that are almost more like self-help apps. Time-tracking programs, for instance, like RescueTime, help you figure out your work habits and patterns so you can hack your behaviors to make them more productive. Tools that minimize or prevent distractions, such as Stayfocusd, let you impose rules on your Web surfing behavior, blocking sites that might distract when you want to get work done. A lot of these apps aim to help you be the focused, attentive person you wish you were but struggle to be.

Task-management and to-do list apps are also popular among individuals. With the ability to share and sync data through the Internet, it's easy to make lists of chores for your partner and kids, assigning them tasks anytime, anywhere. You can manage household chores and tasks from your home computer, or you can get it done from your smartphone the next time you're stuck waiting in a doctor's office or at the DMV.

Speaking of which, mobile devices are a huge part of the productivity movement. Being able to get a few little jobs done when you have natural downtime is a big part of what makes productivity apps so, well, productive. These apps let us juggle our time differently so that we aren't necessarily working more, but we are getting more done, both in our jobs and our home lives, across all the hours of the day.

And while we're on the subject of getting lots of things done at once, forget everything you think you know about the perils of multitasking. A growing body of research shows that multitasking makes you more productive, not less, as most people believe. There is a hitch, of course. You have to do the right amount of multitasking. Too much causes productivity to plummet. You've probably heard that multitasking prevents long periods of focus and interrupts our thought processes. Well, making use of natural downtime, like being productive while in a waiting room or while stuck on a train, are perfect examples of multitasking efficiently. Multitasking is a rather complicated topic, but the point is that it's not all bad, and mobile productivity apps help you multitask in the right way.

Productivity Apps for Businesses

Of course, there are plenty of productivity apps that fit better for business cases than home and personal life. Project management services, for example, help teams keep track of work and assets so there's less need to continually have meetings and make sure everyone is on the same page. They also give employees greater visibility into all the moving parts that make up a project. It's incredibly more productive to be able to find out who is responsible for what and when with a few clicks of the keyboard than having to track down individuals and ask a million questions.

Invoicing and billing solutions—and really all kinds of online business accounting apps—do wonders for productivity, especially for very small business owners and sole proprietors. When you're a one-woman shop and time is at a premium, you can't afford to waste it messing around with accounting. You need tools that work efficiently and that get it right the first time, every time, so you can get back to the real work that makes your business tick.

And let's not leave out traditional office suites. In this list of the 60 best productivity apps, you'll find plenty of suggestions for word-processing programs, spreadsheet apps, and presentation tools as well. The best ones are now collaborative, letting multiple people work on the same document simultaneously. Quite a few are also free and include a good chunk of storage so you have a place to keep your documents while you work on them.

Problems and Solutions

At the heart of every great productivity app is a solution to a specific problem. Some look toward efficiency, aiming to take an existing product, such as email, and make it easier to use so we waste less time futzing with it. Others seek to silence the noise of the net, bolster collaboration, or unite disparate data.

The 60 programs, mobile apps, plugins, and services in this list are among my favorites for helping anyone be more productive, from office workers to students. It's by no means a comprehensive list, but I hope it lets you explore your options among the truly necessary productivity tools, and also introduces you to some hidden gems that you might have missed while you were busy getting things done.

The 12 Best Free Movies on YouTube

 

We’re no stranger to wasting time on YouTube, clicking an endless stream of inventive home movies, sports highlights, silly dog videos, film trailers, news clips—you name it, they’ve got it. Once in a crazy blue moon one might stumble across blips of Hollywood blockbusters, helming titles such as “BATMAN PART 1/7,” but aside from unreliable, the shelf life of these are brief.
But in 2011, YouTube inked deals with major Hollywood studios and since have added thousands of titles to their library from five top studios, in addition to the sea of independent films that live under YouTube’s “Movies” tab, where visitors can rent or purchase a growing variety of flicks for a nominal fee.
Unlike Netflix, YouTube also offers a collection of movies free of charge, available to anyone passing through for instant streaming, not requiring a membership or credit card number. An odd collection, sure, but Paste has done the dirty work and plucked the most notable freebies of the bunch that are highly worthy of some classic, YouTube time wasting. We’ll update this as new movies become available.

12. Spun
Year: 2002
Director: Jonas Åkerlund
A drug fueled ride of dizzying proportions, Spun may not be award-worthy but its choppy, darkly comedic, and hyper depictions of the daily ins and outs of various lowlifes (Jason Schwartzman, Mickey Rourke, Brittany Murphy, John Leguizamo) involved in a crystal-meth drug ring is fascinating, visceral and never boring.—Caitlin Colford










11. Plan 9 from Outer Space
Year: 1959
Director: Ed Wood
The “best worst” horror movie of all time. Whether its the stringed hubcap flying saucers, visible pillows found in the graveyard, or even the very concept of aliens destroying humanity by reanimating the dead, this movie is just so ridiculously flawed in the best way possible. The debacle starts with an alien monologuing that “future events such as these will affect you in the future.” With apologies to Troll 2, it’s safe to assume that this was, is and will always be the best worst movie of the past, present, and, indeed, the future.







10. King Corn
Year: 2007
Director: Aaron Woolf
The most subsidized and ubiquitous American crop is explored in this documentary about two friends who plant an acre of corn and follow it from seed to food products. Director Aaron Woolf presents a provocative film about America’s increasingly controversial agricultural staple.—Emily Riemer











9. White Zombie
Year: 1932
Director: Victor Halperin and Edward Halperin
Bela Lugosi may be remembered as the cinematic face of 1931’s Dracula, but the Hungarian icon hypnotized audiences a year later as a voodoo master in White Zombie, considered the first feature about the walking undead. While the modern zombie subtext tackles such millennial fears as disease and social anomie, this grim tale and those it influenced focus on such evils as slavery and exploitation (check out 2008’s Dead Girl for a modern interpretation). Brothers Victor and Edward Halperin direct an atmospheric nightmare about a Haitian wedding from hell, creating a new horror genus in the process.—Sean Edgar

8. It Might Get Loud
Year: 2009
Director: Davis Guggenheim
Filmmaker Davis Guggenheim, the director of An Inconvenient Truth, brings Jimmy Page, The Edge and Jack White together to talk about guitars and if they feel the urge, to, you know, jam a little. The result is a film that works as a brief chronicle of each musician’s life and career—chock full of old clips, photos, concert footage, recordings, and visits to pivotal locations—and a testament to the allure of a particular stringed instrument. Though the much touted jam summit itself is the disappointing part, the film is still plenty of fun.—Robert Davis








7. Dick
Year: 1999
Director: Andrew Fleming
A hilarious comedy about two ditzy blondes (Kirsten Dunst and Michelle Williams) who accidentally assume the historic role of “Deep Throat” that brought down the presidency of Richard Nixon in 1972. A well-written, entertaining and fictionalized portrait of one of the most historic moments in politics, Dick is best suited for post-pubescent audiences rather than the teenagers the film was marketed for (and ended up trashing) a decade ago.—Caitlin Colford









6. The Runaways
Year: 2010
Director: Floria Sigismondi
Once upon a time, before The Go-Go’s lips were sealed, before the Bangles walked like an Egyptian, five schoolgirls and a Svengali record producer created an all-girl rock band called The Runaways—the title of this film about the band’s improbable rise and inevitable fall. While rock biopics can sometimes be an unwieldy beast, The Runaways is a strikingly honest look at a band that was much too young for its britches.—Tim Basham










5. The Fifth Element
Year: 1997
Director: Luc Besson
Science fiction to the absurd power, The Fifth Element is the ultimate display of what would happen if a teenage boy wrote a big budget Hollywood script, which is exactly the case here. Set in 23rd century New York City, taxi driver Korben Dallas (Bruce Willis) gets wrapped up in saving the world with his passenger Leeloo (Milla Jovovich), the fifth and final piece that is needed to protect earth. Entertaining, thrilling, and visually fantastical, The Fifth Element is worth every minute of your time.—Caitlin Colford







4. Nosferatu
Year: 1922
Director: F. W. Marnau
F.W. Murnau’s sublimely peculiar riff on Dracula has been a fixture of the genre for so long that to justify its place on this list seems like a waste of time. Magnificent in its freakish, dour mood and visual eccentricities, the movie invented much of modern vampire lore as we know it. It’s once-a-year required viewing of the most rewarding kind.










3. His Girl Friday
Year: 1940
Director: Howard Hawks
Adapted from the widely acclaimed play The Front Page, His Girl Friday is a classic whose sharp, witty dialogue matches that of old newsrooms. This smooth-talking editor, played by the always-charming Cary Grant, recognizes true journalistic talent and goes to great lengths to get his best reporter to cover a major story.—Bonnie Stiernberg












2. The Kid
Year: 1921
Director: Charlie Chaplin
Charlie Chaplin’s first full-length film and one of his finest achievements, The Kid tells the story of an abandoned child and the life he builds with The Little Tramp. Chaplin went against heavy studio opposition to create a more serious film in contrast to his earlier work. However, The Kid features just as much slapstick humor as his previous shorts, but placed within a broader, more dramatic context.—Wyndham Wyeth








1. Life in a Day
Year: 2011
Director: Kevin Macdonald
Life in a Day is the ultimate YouTube documentary film. What began as a way to commemorate YouTube’s fifth anniversary, LG and Ridley Scott teamed up with the video sharing site and requested clips from visitors worldwide, documenting their lives on a single day: July 24, 2010. 80,000 submissions later, a voyeuristic, beautiful, and fascinating portrait of the variance in humanity was born, defining not only what YouTube is all about, but the potential it has to become.—Caitlin Colford
