While there are numerous hormones we may aptly label important in-terms of proper function and health, for men the hormone testosterone is of great importance. Both men and women require testosterone for a well-functioning body but men do so in far higher amounts then their female counterparts. While a very important hormone and largely misunderstood, testosterone is easily one of the most exciting hormones we can discuss, especially as it pertains to performance enhancing; in-fact, we can confidently say it is the most important hormone in the performance enhancing game. Without adequate levels of testosterone our goals will largely not be met and without increased levels you can in many cases wave goodbye to the idea of surpassing these goals to a great degree. As a very important hormone, in order to make the most of exogenous use, meaning in this case testosterone introduced beyond our natural production, we are best served to first have a general understanding the hormone itself and then how best to maximize its use regarding its various forms.

Testosterone belongs to a class of hormones known as androgens; in-fact this is the primary androgenic hormone. A very powerful hormone in its own right, testosterone is largely responsible for testicular and prostate development, as well as the development of muscle tissue, bone density and strength. Beyond these basic functions, testosterone is by-in-large imperative for our overall general health and well-being; low levels of testosterone can not only negatively affect muscle and bone strength but can negatively affect our state of mind.

While a member of the androgenic class of steroidal hormones, testosterone is also highly anabolic. As both androgenic and anabolic, like all steroidal hormones testosterone is derived from cholesterol and is largely regulated in terms of production by luteinizing hormones (LH) and follicle stimulating hormones (FSH). Being regulated by LH and FSH, in order for these hormones to be released the pituitary gland must first be stimulated in order to achieve this purpose; once achieved and LH and FSH are released, testicular stimulation is achieved thereby causing the production of testosterone. As you can easily see, as important as the testicles are in testosterone production, the pituitary gland is of equal importance; without adequate pituitary function natural testosterone production cannot occur.

While a hormone we naturally produce and for centuries athletes of all types have experimented with testicular extract but true synthetic testosterone intended for human use first made its way to the scene in 1935, largely thanks to chemists Adolf Butenandt and Leopold Ruzicka who both received a Nobel Prize for their work. With the testosterone hormone now being isolated and synthesized the first successful injections of testosterone were available in the form of Testosterone-Propionate.

Once the first batches of testosterone were made available, soon after many other forms would be introduced and made ready for human use but there is something important you need to understand. All testosterone in a general sense is the same; it is the ester attached that gives it its own unique function regarding time release and duration of activity but by-in-large all exogenous testosterone is simply the same testosterone. We will explain as we go along and get into understanding half-lives.

There are many benefits to testosterone use and while they are generally the same for anyone who uses they can be largely dose dependent in-terms of the overall effect. Many men who use testosterone simply do so as part of a hormone replacement therapy plan; the idea is to raise testosterone levels to a normal range after they have fallen short. Many other men use testosterone for an entirely different purpose; to increase levels far beyond normal in order to enhance performance. Regardless of your purpose you can expect to receive the following benefits to one degree or another:

These are all positive attributes to supplemental or exogenous testosterone use and the same effects can be achieved regardless of the form of testosterone we use. While these are not the only positive traits these are the most fundamental to our process and essential to our goals revolving around testosterone use.

There are many forms in-which testosterone can be found, as well as application methods. The most common form of application is by way of injection but there are transdermal gels and patches that may be used as well and even orally administered gel caps and tablets. While injectable testosterone is by far the most effective, all forms can be largely found in a hormone replacement plan but for the performance enhancer the injectable administration will prove to be far more efficient and desirable.

Beyond application, ester attachment is the largest difference most testosterones will display and this will be the most important aspect regarding the various types as it pertains to interest and understanding. While there are many types of testosterone, in the grand scheme there are six common forms worth discussing in detail; beyond these six there are other forms included as we will see but the following six will be of the greatest importance to you and they include:

The original testosterone; Testosterone-Propionate is one of the most popularly used forms the world over. This type of testosterone is defined by the fast-acting short ester it has attached known as the Propionate ester. The results and effects caused by this testosterone will largely be identical to all other forms but it is in the half-life it possesses where it differs to the highest degree. Testosterone-Propionate carries with it a half-life of approximately 48 hours; due to this short half-life most users will need to administer the hormone quite frequently; most performance enhancing athletes will inject this testosterone on an every other day schedule in order to maintain stable blood levels.

Milligram for milligram Testosterone-Propionate has been reported to be slightly more potent than many other testosterone forms; however, this difference is very negligible. There is another effect/benefit that is noted by many Test-Prop users as it is commonly called and it revolves around water retention. All testosterones have the ability to cause excess water retention; although very diet dependent, however, many Test-Prop users report less water retention with use as compared to other forms.

Theres no doubt about it; Testosterone-Propionate while a very simple hormonal compound is very effective and a more than solid choice in testosterone for most any athlete. Even so, some users will find this particular form difficult to use; some, the majority will not. Some individuals will find they are very sensitive to the Propionate ester and will find they experience a level of discomfort from the medication. If you fall into this category all hope is not lost; those who experience degrees of pain from Testosterone-Propionate in most all cases will not experience it from other common forms.

Testosterone-Enanthate is a pure testosterone with a slow-acting long ester attached and is a testosterone of high popularity. Like the Propionate version it is one of the most common forms used the world over by performance enhancing athletes. As for the functional properties of Testosterone-Enanthate, the same exact results will generally be obtained in comparison to the Propionate version assuming doses are similar.

As a long ester testosterone, commonly known as Test-E, this steroid carries with it a half-life of approximately 15 days. Due to the long half-life, injections will not need to be of a frequent nature, especially if it is used in a hormone replacement plan. However, for the athlete an administration schedule of 2 injections per week is common place and generally accepted as the best form of application. Most athletes will find 2 injections of equal doses to provide them with the results they are looking for. As this protocol is very effective, increasingly many competitive bodybuilders will opt for a more frequent injection schedule, as often as once every other day. Although this is not necessary when we consider the long half-life and duration of drug activity many bodybuilders report more stable blood levels and a general better feeling by keeping testosterone levels at maximum peak levels.

There are many quality brands you may choose from when using Testosterone-Enanthate but there is one brand that is universally accepted as the premier form and that is Testoviron Depot. While there are many other quality pharmaceutical grade brands available, many just as good, Testoviron Depot has for whatever reason developed a grand mystique behind its name, so much so that it may indeed be the most popular brand of Testosterone-Enanthate or any testosterone of all time.

Virtually identical in almost every way to Testosterone-Enanthate, Testosterone-Cypionate is another slow-acting long ester testosterone of high popularity. Absolutely everything that can be said of Testosterone-Enanthate can be said of Testosterone-Cypionate with one minor difference. While generally structurally the same as the Enanthate ester, Test-Cyp or simply Cyp as its commonly known possesses a half-life of approximately 24 hours longer. The very slightly longer half-life is of negligible mention when we consider the total half-life time span, so much so that injection frequency schedules will be the same with Cypionate as they were with Enanthate.

There is however a more or less urban legend regarding Testosterone-Cypionate; for one reason or another this legend has really taken hold in the United States. The common story goes and is believed by many that Testosterone-Cypionate is stronger than Testosterone-Enanthate; the truth is thats a lie. You may absolutely find a more powerful Cyp if youre basing your experience on underground versions but as Human Grade pharmaceutical testosterone goes both Test-E and Cyp are virtually twins and this includes the kick they provide.

- For more info see: Testosterone-Cypionate

While Test-E and Cyp are virtually identical and Test-Prop is close to the same except for the shorter ester, while Testosterone-Suspension is simply testosterone too it has perhaps the most notable differences of all; two of importance. Unlike most forms, Testosterone-Suspension does not have an ester attached. Because of the lack of ester the conversion rate or actual usable and absorbed testosterone from each injection is 100% while other common forms carry with them absorption rates of approximately 75%.

Another important aspect regarding Testosterone-Suspension revolving around its lack of an ester is the frequency in-which it must be administered. As you may or may not understand, the ester attached to a steroid will determine its duration of activity; for example, if we inject 100mg of Testosterone-Propionate with a half-life of 48 hours, at the 24 hour mark after injection we now have 50mg of active testosterone left; after another 48 hours we now have 25mg of active testosterone left and so on until there is none left at all. From one 100mg injection of Testosterone-Suspension in less than 24 hours we will have no active testosterone left. For this reason very frequent injections of this steroid must be administered to have any desired effect; athletes will inject this steroid at minimum once per day and often at least twice.

Testosterone-Suspension further carries the trait of being suspended in water; while almost all testosterones are suspended in oil this gives Testosterone-Suspension an even more potent and fast acting effect. It is important to note, as a water based steroid this testosterone can be very painful to inject; so much so that most athletes cannot tolerate the pain. As this pain can be very intense, it is largely an individualistic type of thing; much of steroid use is largely trial and error and while it may be painful to inject this steroid for you, for another there may be no pain at all.

Sustanon-250 is not a testosterone in of itself but a mixture of four different testosterones. Like all testosterone, the four various forms mixed together here are simply testosterone; in that there is no difference. However, each form mixed to comprise Sustanon-250 has a different ester attached to it thereby giving a slow steady release of testosterone for an extended amount of time. The composition of Sustanon-250 is as follows:

While we are familiar with the Propionate ester the remaining three esters that create Sustanon-250 are almost always found as part of a mixture or compounded anabolic androgenic steroid.

Developed by Organon, the original idea behind Sustanon-250 was to provide a testosterone form well-suited for hormone replacement therapy that would only needed to be administered once every few weeks and for all intense purposes the idea was a success. For the performance enhancing athlete Sustanon-250 can be a fine choice but the idea of injecting only once or twice a month is not applicable here. As a performance enhancer this testosterone like all forms will need to be administered on a more frequent basis. This mixture carries with it two fast, short esters, Propionate and Pheylpropionate, a longer more moderate ester Isocaproate and the very slow and long Decanoate ester. In order to keep testosterone levels stable and at their peak most athletes will inject Sustanon-250 at a minimum of every 3 days and more commonly every other day for optimal results.

For more info see: Sustanon-250

Everything that can be said of Sustanon-250 can identically be said of Omnadren. While virtually identical the only difference worth noting is the four esters attached. Like Sustanon-250, Omnadren is comprised of 4 various testosterones each with its own ester, the difference here is in the last ester or longest ester. While the longest ester in Sustanon-250 is that of Decanoate, Omnadrens final ester is Caproate dosed identically at 100mg; beyond this very slight difference there is nothing worth noting regarding Omnadren.

Testosterone use carries with it the possibility of negative side-effects as do all anabolic steroids. As this may sound unpleasant and any side-effect is, keep in mind, all medications, steroidal and non-steroidal alike carry with them the possibility of adverse reactions. The most common possible side-effects include:

Of these side-effects only one is certain and it is testicular atrophy; yes, if you are a male and you use exogenous testosterone your testicles will shrink; however, once you discontinue use they will return to their normal size. There is a very simple explanation for this occurrence; our natural testosterone is produced in the testicles, once outside testosterone is introduced into the body our testicles no longer have a need to produce any testosterone and therefore shrink. Once use is discontinued and natural testosterone production begins again our testicles will return to their previous state.

As for the remainder of the side-effects, these are largely avoidable or reversible if they do occur; a simple breakdown would be as follows:

For the individual who undergoes hormone replacement therapy your doctor will determine your appropriate dose but for the athlete looking for a boost this dose will always be a great deal higher. There is no question, a mere 250mg per week of testosterone can provide a fantastic edge but in most circles 500mg per week is considered the gold standard for optimal results. Yes, doses can range much higher than 500mg per week; it is not uncommon for many athletes to use as much as 1,000mg per week and while less common but certainly not rare even as high as 1,500mg per week. It is important to note, there is a risk to reward ratio highly in effect as it pertains the our testosterone use; the higher the dose the potential for a higher reward but the higher the dose the greater increase of risk in-terms of negative side-effects and risk to our overall health. Most all beginners are advised to never go beyond 500mg per week and many veteran users will find this is all they ever need. If you do desire to chance a higher dose that is a call only you can make but understand the increase in risk is very real.

As for cycles, in this instance were referring to the duration of use, a common minimum length of time is 8 weeks, with 12 weeks being far more optimal for quality results. While a majority of veterans will use at minimum for 16 weeks, although not as common many will use for far extended periods of time; again, greatly increasing the risk to reward ratio. For most athletes, regardless of their level of experience with testosterone use, cycles of 12 weeks to 16 weeks in length will be their best bet and best suited for their long-term overall health.

Dr. Salvatore Raiti, an internationally known pediatric endocrinologist who was the first director of the National Hormone and Pituitary Program at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, died July 26 of heart failure at PowerBack Rehabilitation in Lutherville.

The resident of the Orchards neighborhood in North Baltimore was 83.

The son of Giovanni Raiti and Maria Raiti, Salvatore Raiti was born in Linguaglossa, Italy, and when he was an infant, he moved with his family to Mourilyan, Australia, which is in Queensland.

He earned his medical degree in 1958 from the University of Queensland, and after practicing medicine at the Royal Brisbane and Womens Hospital in Herston, Queensland, he moved to London in 1961 to continue postgraduate studies in pediatrics at the University of London.

In 1963, Dr. Raiti was a fellow in the steroid training program at the Worcester Foundation in Shrewsbury, Mass.

Dr. Raiti came to Johns Hopkins Hospital in 1964, where he began a three-year fellowship in pediatric endocrinology.

He then returned to London, where he was a pediatric endocrinologist from 1968 to 1970 at the Great Ormond Street Hospital, a facility devoted to caring for children.

In 1970, Dr. Raiti returned to Baltimore when he was named the first director of what was then the National Pituitary Agency, a division of the University of Maryland School of Medicine, where he was also chief of pediatric endocrinology.

The human growth hormone, or HGH, was discovered in 1956 and found to be an effective therapeutic agent for the treatment of hypopitiutarism, which causes dwarfism in children and premature aging in adults.

In 1963, the National Pituitary Agency was first at Johns Hopkins Hospital and later at the University of Maryland, where its role was to collect human pituitary glands from cadavers and distribute them for those in treatment.

If such children receive regular injections of the hormone over a period of four to five years, it can mean a difference between reaching a maximum height of four feet and of attaining five feet, he told The Baltimore Sun in a 1971 interview.

The growth hormone is one of 10 secreted by the pituitary gland, located at the base of the brain, he said.

The growth hormone extracted from one pituitary gland, a pea-sized gland at the base of the brain, is only enough treatment for three or four days, he told The Sun in 1970.

It takes many glands to determine the growth pattern and metabolism in one patient. With more than 10,000 children suffering from hypopituitary dwarfism and many more who have other types of dwarfism, much more growth hormone is needed, and so investigators are searching for a way to synthesize it, he said.

By 1973, 2,000 children who had dwarfism had been successfully treated, reported The Sun in 1973.

At the time, Dr. Raiti said it was believed that the human growth hormone did not directly induce growth but stimulated the liver to produce another hormone called somatomedin.

What he was trying to do was make kids well, said Dr. Claude J. Migeon of Roland Park, a retired pediatric endocrinologist who worked alongside Dr. Raiti. Patients liked him very much, and he was very friendly and outgoing. He was always very kind and helpful to me.

Today, anabolic drugs are used to treat dwarfism.

During his career, Dr. Raiti contributed to 80 scientific reports in peer-reviewed journals and book chapters, and edited five medical books, including Advances in Human Growth Hormone Research and Normal at Any Cost.

After retiring in 1993, he continued working in emergency medicine for several more years, family members said.

He was a member of the Lawson Wilkins Pediatric Endocrine Society, Baltimore City Medical Society, the Maryland State Medical Society, and the American College of Physicians.

Dr. Raiti enjoyed the theater, museums and symphony concerts, and especially liked to visit London, where he stayed at the Savoy Hotel.

He also like to take his wife of 40 years, the former Emilia Fava, dancing at the Rainbow Room in New York City

Dr. Raiti was a fan of classic, Victorian and mystery novels.

A devout Roman Catholic, he regularly attended Mass at St. Jude Shrine in downtown Baltimore.

He was a congregant of the Roman Catholic Cathedral of Mary Our Queen, where a Mass of Christian burial was offered July 31.

In addition to his wife, Dr.Raiti survived by two sons, John G. Raiti of Seattle and Gerard Raiti of Los Angeles; and a granddaughter.

Shares of Hartford Financial Services Group Inc (HGH) opened the last session at 31.00, touching a high of 31.20 and a low of 30.83 , yielding a change of-0.13. The latest reading places the stock below the Ichimoku cloud which indicates negative momentum and a potential sellsignal for the equity.

The Ichimoku cloud is a favorite technical indicator used primarily in Asian markets. The cloud is one of the only indicators that is both forward and backward looking. The cloud produces better levels of support and resistance and is a breakout traders best friend. The cloud is also one of the easiest indicators to use. Any trader, regardless of skill level or expertise, can use the cloud to quickly and efficiently analyze any product on any time frame. The cloud shines in the fact that it can be universally applied to any trading plan by any trader.

It is a type of chart used in technical analysis to display support and resistance, momentum, and trend in one view. TenkanSen and KijunSen are similar to moving averages and analyzed in relationship to one another. When the shorter term indicator, TenkanSen, rises above the longer term indicator, KijunSen, the securities trend is typically positive. When TenkanSen falls below KijunSen, the securities trend is typically negative. TenkanSen and KijunSen as a group are then analyzed in relationship to the Cloud, which is composed of the area between Senkou A and Senkou B.A multi-faceted indicator designed to give support/resistance levels, trend direction, and entry/exit points of varying strengths. General theory behind this indicator states that if price action is above the cloud, the overall trend is bullish, and if below the cloud, the overall trend is bearish. There are also moving averages (the Tenkan and Kijun lines) which act like the MACD crossover signals with the Tenkan crossing from underneath the Kijun as a bullish signal, while crossing overhead giving a bearish signal.

It is no secret that most investors have the best of intentions when diving into the equity markets. Making sound, informed decisions can help the investor make the most progress when dealing with the markets. Often times, investors may think they have everything in order, but they still come out on the losing end. Investors may need to figure out ways to keep emotion out of stock picking. Sometimes trading on emotions can lead to poor results. Making hasty decisions and not paying attention to the correct data can lead to poor performing portfolios in the long-term.

Checking on some popular technical levels, Hartford Financial Services Group Inc (HGH) has a 14-day Commodity Channel Index (CCI) of -23.23. The CCI technical indicator can be employed to help figure out if a stock is entering overbought or oversold territory. CCI may also be used to help discover divergences that may signal reversal moves. A CCI closer to +100 may provide an overbought signal, and a CCI near -100 may provide an oversold signal.

Tracking other technical indicators, the 14-day RSI is presently standing at 44.01, the 7-day sits at 43.52, and the 3-day is resting at 48.89 for Hartford Financial Services Group Inc (HGH).

The RSI is considered to be an internal strength indicator, not to be confused with relative strength which is compared to other stocks and indices. The RSI value will always move between 0 and 100. One of the most popular time frames using RSI is the 14-day.

Moving averages have the ability to be used as a powerful indicator for technical stock analysis. Following multiple time frames using moving averages can help investors figure out where the stock has been and help determine where it may be possibly going. The simple moving average is a mathematical calculation that takes the average price (mean) for a given amount of time. Currently, the 7-day moving average is sitting at 30.79.

Lets take a further look at the Average Directional Index or ADX. The ADX measures the strength or weakness of a particular trend. Investors and traders may be looking to figure out if a stock is trending before employing a specific trading strategy. The ADX is typically used along with the Plus Directional Indicator (+DI) and Minus Directional Indicator (-DI) which point to the direction of the trend. The 14-day ADX for Hartford Financial Services Group Inc (HGH) is currently at 19.10. In general, and ADX value from 0-25 would represent an absent or weak trend.

Dear Heloise: You had a recipe for FAST COLESLAW that was easy to make and had a nice taste to it. Having just graduated from college and moved into my first apartment, I have to prepare my own meals, and I'd love to have that recipe. -- Tiffany B., Hartford, Conn.

Tiffany, I'm happy to repeat my Fast Slaw recipe for you. Here it is:

1 (1-pound) package coleslaw mix

1/4 cup Italian dressing (or 1/2 cup, depending on your taste)

Place all ingredients in a large plastic bag and shake, shake, shake! You can add a teaspoon of lemon juice if you'd like, or if you want something with a bite, add a dash of hot sauce. If you're looking for more recipes that have stood the test of time, go to my website, http://www.Heloise.com, or send a stamped (70 cents), self-addressed, business-size envelope, along with $3, to: Heloise/Main Dishes, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Since you're just starting to make all of your own meals, you'll find a wealth of new ideas and inspiration in various recipes. Once you start cooking, you'll even develop your own twists on favorite foods. -- Heloise

Dear Readers: Speaking of slaw, blender slaw appeared in my mother's book "Heloise's Kitchen Hints" back in 1963. I've retested it, and it's as reliable today as it was back then. A reader in Ohio wrote to say that she cut her cabbage into large chunks, placed the chunks in a blender, then covered it with water and gave it a buzz. She drained the water, and she had slaw! I like to add some green salad olives, a little low-cal Italian dressing and a dash of dill. -- Heloise

Dear Heloise: My hint is something I didn't learn until I was in my 50s: When buying oranges, pick the heaviest ones. They're the ones that are very juicy and delicious! -- Cathy B. in Houston

Dear Heloise: I'm discovering that many foods we eat -- ketchup, yogurt, dried fruit, breakfast cereals, even some coleslaws -- have sugar in them. I find this disturbing since there are many diabetics and people who are trying to lose weight who don't know about these hidden sugars. -- Kate G., Garden Grove, Calif.

Kate, it's very important to read labels and keep abreast of nutrition news. Like you, I wish food manufacturers would cut back or eliminate sugar in their foods. A little sugar isn't a bad thing, unless your doctor doesn't want you to eat it. However, our American diets have very high amounts of sugar, which in one form or another is in many favorite foods. -- Heloise

* According to the website Say No to Food Waste, in America it is estimated that between 40 percent and 50 percent of food is thrown away, which is about $165 billion worth of food.

* If we reduced our wasted food by 20 percent, we could feed 25 million Americans.

Dear Heloise: I've discovered MEDITATION -- just 10 to 20 minutes a day, once in the morning and once at night; no television, cellphone, computer or music. It can bring a bit of peace into my life. I'm free to think clearly!

In today's world, we are all overscheduled and subject to too much information, all the time. Taking a break helps me manage my day, work for my family and feel calm. -- Jennifer J. in Houston

Jennifer, it's so nice that you've found a twice-daily minivacation. My mother, the original Heloise (1919-1977), always would advocate for people to take care of themselves, especially if they are running a household, and she didn't even have a cellphone or a computer! Thanks for writing. -- Heloise

Dear Heloise: I love your column; I read it in the (Salem, Ore.) Statesman Journal. I have six solid-colored cotton knit shirts with grease stains, some of which I'd already laundered and dried.

Get tips on free stuff and fun ideas delivered weekly to your inbox

As a last resort, I worked a small amount of pumice-based hand cleaner into the stains. Hurray! The stains are gone, and I see no damage to the shirts.

I will only use this as a last resort, though! -- Cindy U., Salem, Ore.

Dear Heloise: I often see hints that require sudsy ammonia. Is there a way to make regular ammonia sudsy? -- C.M., via email

Sudsy ammonia is merely ammonia that has had a bit of detergent added to it. You can add a teaspoon of dishwashing liquid to 1/2 cup regular ammonia and 1/2 cup rubbing alcohol -- be sure the dishwashing liquid does not contain bleach -- to make one of my favorite all-purpose cleaners.

Ammonia is a wonderful, cost-effective household cleaner, and sudsy ammonia is good for dirty, grimy jobs and greasy surfaces, such as stovetops. Sudsy ammonia is not good for cleaning mirrors and windows, though; it can streak. Use regular ammonia for this task.

I've combined my favorite homemade cleaning solutions into a handy pamphlet. Would you like to receive one? Visit http://www.Heloise.com to order, or send a stamped (70 cents), self-addressed, business-size envelope, along with $5, to: Heloise/HCS, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Label all homemade cleaners with the ingredients and the date it was made. Use these quickly, because their efficacy can dwindle over time. -- Heloise

Dear Heloise: I saw the hint about saving manuals. I go one step further: I staple the receipt to the inside of the cover and write the model and serial number on the front.

This can be helpful if you are calling for technical support or if you are a victim of theft, like we were. The insurance company needed this information. -- Lisa Z., Waco, Texas

Dear Readers: When you are moving about your home, pause a moment before you take a step and look down. You never know what could be underfoot. Taking a moment can prevent a devastating fall. -- Heloise

Members of the First Presbyterian Church of Norwood spent the summer walking to Nazareth.

Dubbed Norwood to Nazareth, church members logged more than 7,000 miles of the 6,149-mile trek to Jesus homeland over a three-month span. The expedition began the first of May and concluded at the end of July. Since only Jesus possessed the ability to walk on water, as recorded in the Bible, church members were relegated to walk wherever and whenever possible to tally enough miles to equal the distance between Norwood and Nazareth.

I was a pretty skeptical fellah in the beginning. I didnt see how wed ever do that, said David Sutton, a retired Presbyterian minister who along with his wife, Finley, attends Norwoods First Presbyterian Church.

The church launched the undertaking in conjunction with Pastor Julie Hills sabbatical. As Hill underwent a spiritual and physical renewal, church members decided to breathe new life in their spiritualty by improving their human temple. They, too, embarked on a journey of better health by walking, exercising and eating better.

About 50 members of the congregation participated in the health-driven routine.

Everyone recorded every mile they ran or walked. Or, every 30 minutes of physical exercise equated to a mile.

Avid runners notched their miles. Walkers recorded their frequent jaunts at Darrell Almond Park and Piney Point. Golfers noted their time on the links. There was a nature walk at the Pee Dee Wildlife Refuge.

Yoga and pilates enthusiasts exchanged their timed physical exertion into mileage.

One church member recovering from a leg amputation converted her physical therapy into mileage.

Youngsters participated, too. The church had a vacation Bible school splash pool party.

Not all of the health-related initiatives were the byproduct of exercise.

Church members participated in cooking classes, spearheaded by the N.C. Cooperative Extension, aimed at healthier eating.

Although she was abroad, Hill, too, forwarded her exercise mileage toward the cause.

Funded through a grant from the Lilly Foundation, Hill was afforded the renewal opportunity by financial assistance outside the church. The grant also paid the expenses of a supply pastor, David Sutton, during Hills hiatus.

Lilly funded other programs during the period, which prompted the churchs health kick.

The whole congregation has benefitted, Finley Sutton said. In a small church those things are important.

First Presbyterian has about 150 official members, with roughly 60 regularly attending Sunday worship.

Prior to leaving for her sabbatical, Hill delivered a message on the importance of maintaining wellness.

The health of our community is something we need to address and become conscious of, Hill said Tuesday. I personally realized how sedentary I was becoming.

She pointed to the growing problem with diabetes and heart-related illnesses among those living in Stanly County.

While healthy living was part of the churchs objective, more was at stake with the initiative.

It brings people together in fellowship, Hill said. Hopefully, their conversation when they walked was spiritually nurturing.

Finley said thats exactly what happened. The mission served as a form of both fellowship and outreach.

Its been a nice way for us to get to know everyone better, she said. It brought us together for another purpose.

Different events appealed to different participants, which helped forge relationships that might not otherwise have been formed.

The exercises were not void of spiritual rewards. They recited daily prayers and scripture whenever they gathered for activities.

The timing for the venture seemed appropriate during Hills absence.

It brought the congregation together during (Julies) sabbatical something wed celebrate, Finley added.

An official celebration occurs Sunday at the church. Along with celebrating the congregations physical feat, the church will be celebrating Hills return. David Sutton will again provide the sermon.

After the 11 a.m. worship, the congregation will enjoy a catered lunch in the Fellowship Hall, again funded by the Lilly Foundation, followed by a pool party with a DJ at the Edgewater Clubhouse beginning at 1 p.m.

When we saw how insanely jacked Josh Brolin got to play Cable in the forthcoming Deadpool 2, our sympathy immediately went out to franchise star Ryan Reynolds.

Not only did it seem he would he be out-swoled in his own movie, but he'd also be out-swoled by an actor nearly ten years his senior.

But we'll save our condolences. Reynolds' Hollywood trainer, Don Saladino, just teased Instagram with a shot of Reynolds' Deadpool 2 body (see above), and it makes all those lunks from Baywatch look like Chris Christie lounging on a closed New Jersey beach.

T.J. Miller promised that the Deadpool sequel is going to have more laughs than the original. He left out that it's also going to feature infinitely more abs.

Genetics could be a factor, which is a bummer for the rest of us. In Reynolds' recent Men's Health profile, he came off remarkably chill about his diet and exercise routine.

For one, he's not in the gym at the crack of dawn.

Reynolds has worked with trainer Don Saladino for eight years. "[Don] has programs that I can access online because when I'm shooting, my hours are so erratic.

"I don't want to have to meet somebody at 4 in the morning in a dark gym. I just want to go when I can go." When you plan your travels, plan your workouts as well.

He eats a lot, but doesn't go as far as Wolverine.

Reynolds eats "clean, whole foods" every two or three hours when he's bulking for a role. But he stops short of Hugh Jackman's Wolverine diet, which reportedly involved 6,000 calories, some of which were eaten at 2 a.m.

"Hugh Jackman has a dedication to his craft that I'm afraid I don't share. If I'm up at 2 in the morning, it's because something has gone terribly wrong."

Even if he's blas about his routine, his "eat every two to three hours" tidbit is key to anyone looking to bulk.

Keeping a calm attitude about it and not obsessing also seems to help Reynolds.

That said, much of his success comes from putting in the work withSaladino. From the renowned trainer's Instagram, check out some of his best fitness tricks below.

This guy is an absolute beast.

Few people consider what their mom and dad ate as a factor in their health many years later. But, research shows that what parents eat just prior to conception and, in the case of women, during pregnancy, can affect a childs risk for certain illnesses later in life.

In a study published in the online medical journal BioMed Central, researchers found that both parents diets prior to conception, and a womans pregnancy diet, can affect their childrens risk for breast cancer later in life. In this study researchers assessed the effects of a high fat diet, largely composed of omega 6 fatty acids found in corn oil, which is representative of an average persons high omega 6 fatty acid intake in North America. The researchers found that the parental high fat diet caused genetic damage that predisposed the offspring to breast cancer. While breast cancer primarily affects women, it can also affect men.

But breast cancer is not the only illness linked to a high fat diet. In a new study published in the medical journal Frontiers in Endocrinology, researchers found that a mothers high fat diet during pregnancy can not only affect her childrens risk of obesity, but also brain development and mental health issues like anxiety. In this study, researchers assessed the effects of a high fat diet (35.57 percent of the total caloric intake as fat) for 1.2 to 8.5 years prior to giving birth. However, saturated fat (which is the main type of fat in meat and poultry) made up the largest percentage of the total fat intake. The researchers found that the maternal high fat diet made the offspring significantly more prone to neurodevelopmental disorders like anxiety.

The researchers also found that the high fat diet impaired the development of brain cells containing serotonina brain messenger hormone that is critical to developing brains and helps to regulate depression and anxiety.

As the researchers of the studies indicate and to which I would agree: this is not about blaming our parents, and mothers in particular, for our health problems. Instead, it is about raising public awareness and improving public health policies to ensure the greatest level of health for people throughout their lifetime.

Both saturated fats and a diet high in omega 6 fatty acids have been linked to excessive inflammation in the body. Reduce your intake of meat and commercially-prepared vegetable oils which are largely corn oil, and foods made from these oils, such as packaged, processed and prepared foods.

Instead, choose a largely plant-based diet high in fruits and vegetables with the addition of foods rich in omega 3 fatty acids like flaxseeds and flaxseed oil, walnuts, chia seeds, hemp seeds, spinach, squash and cashews. Check out my blog Top 17 Vegan Sources of Omega 3 Fatty Acids to discover more plant-based sources of brain-boosting omega 3 fatty acids.
