Add Nitric Oxide To Your Fitness Regimen for Lean, Hard Muscles

Everyone has nitric oxide (NO2) in their bodies, which is a gas that is produced by the inner lining of our blood vessels when we exercise.  NO2 allows the blood vessels to significantly expand and dilate, allowing a much greater amount of nutrient rich blood to your working muscles.

More nutrients to your muscles means larger, fuller, harder muscles, which also results in more fat burning (since muscles are highly metabolic tissue, and when they get larger, they require more energy, and will derive that energy from body fat stores).

NO2 also helps the release of adrenaline, which gives you an energy rush in the gym, allowing you to lift heavier weights, and train longer without fatigue.

And finally, NO2 helps your immune system to recover more quickly from your brutal workouts, so you don’t have to miss a workout due to sore, fatigued muscles.

Add Fiber for a Leaner, Tighter Look

Adding fiber to your diet will help improve your health in numerous ways, including improved insulin resistance (delaying or preventing type 2 diabetes), reduced risk of certain cancers like stomach and colon cancers, improved cholesterol profile (reducing bad cholesterol in your blood or LDL), and reduced risk of stroke and heart disease (by helping to reduce risk of atherosclerotic plaques/clots and blood vessel inflammation).

An easy way to start reaping the benefits of fiber is in a convenient powder form, such as Myofiber, that you can add to your breakfast cereal or oatmeal, or in a protein shake after your workout.

Myofiber contains flaxseed, psyllium husk, CLA and Lecithin, which will provide you with essential omega3 fatty acids, help you to convert body fat stores to energy for a lean, tight look, as well reduce your bad cholesterol (LDL).

How to Use Natural Diuretics for a Tighter Look

You bust your butt at the gym, eat a nice clean diet, but still look & feel a bit softer than you’d like.  A simple, quick way to achieve that “tight” look and really bring out your six pack is to use natural diuretics.

Diuretics will help to pull excess water out from under your skin and between cells, and help your skn to look tighter, more toned and firm, with visible muscle definition.  Be sure to drink plenty of fluids to keep yourself hydrated when taking diuretics, because if you don’t replenish with fluids, it can be hard on your kidneys & heart, as well as affect the appearance of your skin. 

Don’t worry, drinking fluids is not going to cause you to retain water, as long as you keep your diet low-sodium, with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, lean protein & fiber.  Drinking water will help to hydrate your cells, and push the water INSIDE (not BETWEEN) your skin and muscle cells, volumizing & plumping them up for a firm, healthy appearance.

Excellent natural diuretics include Dandelion (tea or capsules), Green Tea (extract, capsules, tea), Uva Ursi (active ingredient in Taraxatone).
