Athletes and Heat Strokes

With the summer heat at its peak, the risk of heat stroke rises. The problem is that most people do not even realize that they are having a heat stroke until they collapse after finishing their exercises.
Most of the time, the athlete is unaware that they are suffering from heat illness and often feel no symptoms at all. “Your cognitive ability and your capacity to make a rational decision is indeed compromised,’’ said Michael F. Bergeron, director of the environmental physiology laboratory at the Medical College of Georgia. “You hear all the time that the athletes themselves didn’t know enough to stop and didn’t want to stop and have no memory of what happened.”

Bodybuilding on a Budget: Tuna

One of the most commonly sought after foods for protein consumption also happens to be one of the cheapest – tuna. You can usually find it on sale at your local grocery store, and it is low fat (opt for tuna canned in water, not oil) and packed with protein. Another benefit of tuna is that it’s ready to eat – all you need is a can opener and a fork. From time to time, however, you may get tired of tuna in a can and want to add some flare to your meal. If so, then this series of articles is for you. I will be posting quick, healthy tuna recipes you can try. If you plan ahead, you can create several day’s worth of meals which will save time in the mornings before work.
