When trying to lose unwanted fat, one of the most effective ways is to boost your metabolism. The higher your metabolism, the more calories you burn during the day. Studies show that one of the best ways to boost your metabolism is by incorporating strength training into your workout routine. Lifting weights builds muscle, and the more muscle you have, the more calories you will inevitably burn.

For some of us, however, this may not be the whole story. Yes, lifting weights builds our muscles and increases our metabolism, but we still may not lose those pesky fat pounds. The reason this occurs is because lifting weights causes your muscle fibers to break down. As your body recuperates, it repairs this damaged tissue and causes your muscles to grow (this is how you get more muscle). As your body is repairing this tissue, it sets your metabolism into overdrive, and presumably, more fat is eventually lost.

Here’s the catch-22: This increase in metabolism not only burns more calories, it also can make you hungrier. If you’ve ever lifted weights, you’ve probably experienced an increase in appetite following that workout. This is because in order to rebuild and strengthen those muscles, your body needs to use up a lot of energy, resulting in your increased appetite. For obvious reasons, this increase in hunger can be a stumbling block for those of us trying to lose weight.

If you’re performing strength training with any consistency at all, there’s no getting around the fact that your body is going to need more energy than usual to restore itself. Getting this much needed extra energy can be done by eating more food, but if fat loss is also one of the goals of your exercise regimen, then the extra calories you get with that food may be undesirable.

Ambrotose AO provides antioxidant activity against free radicals for maintenance of good health

It’s the classic “chicken or the egg” argument: does my stress cause my digestive issues, or do my digestive issues cause my stress? Well, it appears that both might actually be true.

Most of us are cognizant that stress can impact the entire body and the stomach is no exception. It can bring about those all-too familiar knots in the stomach, heartburn, gas, ulcers, constipation, diarrhea, and all other sorts of digestive ailments.

“Stress can affect every part of the digestive system,” says Dr. Kenneth Koch, a professor and medical director of the Digestive Health Center at Wake Forrest University. He adds,”Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the great German writer and philosopher, believed that the gut was the seat of all human emotions.”

On the other side of the coin, however, it appears that eating foods that negatively affect your digestion could actually be causing your stress. “Your digestive system appreciates a healthy, well-balanced diet,” says Dr. Koch. And even The American Psychological Association recently reported that poor or inadequate nutrition is one of leading causes of worry and anxiety.

So which is it, the chicken or the egg? The research seems to be pointing to the notion that the correct answer is, well, both: stress causes digestive problems, and digestion problems cause stress.

Regardless, it’s clear that one is directly related to the other. With that in mind, Mannatech’s Ambrotose® Complex supports proper digestive function for the maintenance of good health and supports gastrointestinal health.* This original breakthrough product provides your body with glyconutrients that can support good digestion and even improve your mood.
