If the results of the study can be confirmed by an independent team for vegetables other than lotus root, rape or cucumber and if there is an identical mismatch between the in-vivo anti-oxidant capacity and the potential benefits in improving antioxidant function in (aged) humans.
This would be big and highly consequential news for nutrition experts, scientists and average Joes and Janes like you and me. Why? Well,...
- any ranking of "superfoods" that was based even partly on in vitro data derived with the good old ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assay would be invalid, ...
- every scientist who has been following up on "promising" data from FRAP assays would have been wasting his time, ...
- and you may have been eating all the wrong foods for years...

Never forget the three principles of veggie eating: Variety, seasonality, colorfulness
Against that background Id recommend you keep eating your lotus roots, if you like them, although, they have a significantly lower beneficial effect on SuperOxide Dismutase (SOD, a group of antioxidant enzymes) than rape and cucumber.

Trust your instincts and go for a broad variety of vegetables. Eat seasonal! Eat colorful! And most importantly eat plenty. Optimal or not, none of the vegetables in the study at hand would harm you - all of them would help you defy diabesity and slow the aging process as best mother nature allows.

Isnt High Intensity Interval Training HIIT For Everyone Study Puts ! Behind Personalized Training Fitness Fatness Age More Determine Its Effective Usefulness
 |
| Isnt HIIT for everyone? Study suggests: Effective- and usefulness of high intensity interval training depend on age and fitness level. |
Good! Accordingly, you are not surprised that researchers from tie California State University San Marcos and the Griffith University at the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia, teamed up to identify individual HIIT-responders and HIIT-non-responders.

"It was hypothesized that frequency of ‘‘non-responders’’ would be less than that typically reported after endurance training" (Astorino. 2014)The ultimate goal obviously is the development of individualized exercise prescription which may help optimize responses to training and overall health status of various individuals.
In this particular case this meant determining whether the 20 habitually-active men and women who participated in part 1 of the study would show inter-individual as well as inter-group differences compared to the 20 non-obese sedentary women from part 2 of the study.
- In study 1, recreationally-active men and women underwent 2 wk of Wingate-based standardized interval treatment. At baseline and after completion of training, measures of VO2max, HR, and lipid oxidation were determined on separate days at least 24 h apart. Participants were required to maintain their habitual training status which was confirmed with a training log, and time of day was standardized within subjects across all trials.
In study 2, sedentary young women completed 12 wk of a more tolerable form of interval training at intensities equal to 60–80% or 80–90%Wmax, during which these variables were assessed at baseline and every 3 wk of the study over two separate sessions. They were required to refrain from additional physical activity other than activities of daily living outside of the study. Exercise was performed at approximately the same time of day (#60 min) within participants. In both studies, body composition was assessed pre- and post-training using waist:hip ratio and sum of threeskinfolds (chest, abdomen, thigh for men and triceps, suprailiac, and thigh for women) following standardized procedures.

| Figure 1: Changes in HR and fat oxidation in trained (left, part 1) & untrained (right, part 2) individuals (Astorino. 2014) |
"Frequency of improved fat oxidation was similar (60–65%) across regimens. Only one participant across both interventions showed nonresponse for all variables." (Astorino. 2014)Interestingly, the vaseline values of VO2 max, exercise HR, respiratory exchange ratio, and body fat were significant predictors of adaptations to interval training:
- Positive predictors of increases in VO2max were low baseline fitness (difficult to improve whats already top) and high effort during the wingate test.
- Positive predictors of improved heart rate was a high age and a high baseline heart rate
- Positive predictors of increases in fat oxidation were a low baseline physical activity and a low age.
I can only repeat my recommendations: If you are sedentary and obese, go slowly, its likely you benefit much more from chronic low intensity interval training or even steady state exercise. If you are lean and athletic, HIIT it hard, but be careful! If you are also lifting weights, it may make more sense to do some regular cardio (LISS) and one or another plyometrics workout if ultimate leanness and the perfect body are your goals.
Bottom line: The study at hand does not deliver the promised experimental evidence one could use to program a personalized training regimen. In the end, it the design is just too limited to provide the corresponding information.What the study did do, though, is confirm the already well-known associations between current effort and previous laziness with respect to the effective "gain" you can make in the gym or wherever else you may be working out: The lower your baseline fitness, the higher your fatness and the lower your activity levels the greater the impact of both: Low intensity long-term and high intensity short-term HIIT training. If you are the lean athletic type you will thus have to go really "high" on the intensity side to trigger a response... And maybe, just maybe, doing some LISS + weights is the better idea to get the body youre dreaming of, anyways. For me personally,it is the more sustainable way of training.

The Story Behind Marks PC Solution
Dear visitors! In this post youre not getting any tips! Today I would like to tell you the little story behind the establishment of Marks PC Solution. Though this is not a tips, but you must read and take some lessons from this post. Read it properly with patience.
Background:
I got admitted at Dhaka City College to study BBA in the year of 2008. In that time I didnt familiar with the use of internet. But I was very interested about Computer since 2005. I used to discuss computer related issues with my classmates. One of them was Adnan Shameem. He had a nice forum named Amarnotes (Lost due to the error in server). He often told me to visit his site. But I didnt have net connection. And even I didnt have a personal computer!
One day I went to a Cybercafe with Adnan. He helped me to open an email account: munnamark@gmail.com. I could never imagine one day this email might be associated with hundreds of online accounts!
When I was at the second semester, I informed my parents- Computer is essential to complete the assignments. Just after a few days, I got a new PC costing $ 500. After getting the PC, my skills were improving at an amazing speed! (Now I’m passing a hard time with that PC. Either it needs to be repaired or changed! J
And at the beginning of the 3rdsemester, my course teacher (Ms. Sayeda Ferdous Lusanta), Principles of Marketing, declared that- Everyone must have net connection to complete my assignments. What a declaration! And I got a chance to demand a net connection in the parliament.
Within a week, I got a net connection. It was Citycell Zoom. Later I upgraded this to Zoom Ultra. Now this connection should also be upgraded. And no other suitable substitutes are available in my area.
After getting the net connection, I was busy to learn necessary online applications. I learned many things about Internet and computer using the net. I discovered many tips and shared these with others.
Here I’d like to thank Adnan again. He told me- Open a blog and share these tips. But initially I was not interested. I thought- is it necessary at all?
Beginning of the Blog:
Then after a few days I opened a blog in blogger. I named my site as Marks PC Solution. The URL is- munnamark.blogspot.com. Thats the starting.
After that I also opened an account in WordPress by the same name- Marks PC Solution and URL is munnamark.wordpress.com. But I didnt continue that site as premium membership is required to edit the template manually. But you can still access my WordPress site.
Marks PC Solution was created in 2009. Only 9 posts were written in Bengali. In that time I was not so interested to keep it active. And I didnt even visit this site in the next year I mean in 2010. I almost forget that Ive a site on blogger!
Development of the Site:
At the end of 2011, I had an offer. It was a free course on Online Earning. It was a 2-day training conducted by BIDD (Bangladesh Institute of Design & Development). The training venue was also very attractive- Prime Minister’s office of Bangladesh!
In my class there were more than 50 students. But it was decided that only one student is allowed to go for the training. When our BBA coordinator declared this in our class I wasn’t there. Because it was off-time and I was busy at our computer lab.
I was famous in my class for computer troubleshooting. I used to help people in computer and Internet related issues. But as I was introvert in nature (don’t think I’m extrovert now! J) not all of them were familiar with me. And what about girls? Most of them even didnt know what my name is! And some of them couldnt even recognize me! Well I enjoyed this at that time. J
Okay back to the track. When I was busy at computer lab, a girl of my class (her name is Jemmy) saw me there. She asked me- You Munna? (I really surprised at her question! I thought she knows my name! Because we’re at the 6th semester of BBA Program! Only then I was quite sure many of the girls of my class don’t know my name! J
I didnt let her understand that I’m surprised. I just answered YEAH. Then she told- Every one of the class is looking for you. Then I showed my exclamation- WHY? She said- a training will be arranged for some students of our college. You should go to the class to know the details. Emrul knows better.
Then I left the lab and went to the class. Emrul helped me a lot. He told me that- Only one student of this class is allowed to go for the training. And we think- Only you are the right person. He also took permission from others. He asked- does anyone have an objection? Thanks to almighty Allah! There was no objection. Everyone agreed. I am grateful to my classmates. They left their chance for me. I was selected from Section: D. And it’s my pleasure that Adnan was selected from Section: C. His friend Mahin left the chance for him. Otherwise Adnan might face little competition to be selected.
I had know idea about topics will be covered in that training. All I knew about it- It’s an online earning course. Maybe they will train us about how to learn online.
Finally, it was a nice morning of winter. I left my home at 6.45 am. And arrived at Vasani Novo Theater at 7.40 am. There were our teachers and other students. Our teacher Md. Shamsul Arefin enlisted my name in the attendance sheet. Almost all students were present by 8.00 am. There were more than 100 persons including teachers and students. We started walking to the PM Office. But I was worried because Adnan wasnt present there! And carrying bags and mobile phones were forbidden for the students. While running by the side of a newly constructed road we noticed a serious motorbike accident! Maybe the biker was taken to the hospital but spot dead. Such a bad scene at the beginning of the day!
We reached the PM office gate and waited there for more than 40 minutes. By this time Adnan arrived there! Everyone was waiting to enter the main building. After completing some formalities the officials provided us the visitor cards. Without this card no one is allowed enter the PM office.
We walked a long driveway. Maybe it took 3 minutes to pass. Then we reached at the gate of the main building. We crossed the security door. Then we were taken to the Karabi Hall. In that time the Prime Minister, Sheikh Hasina, was out of country. Thanks to the prime minister to arrange such a training facility for us! We spent 8 hours per day. We were entertained by sufficient foods, snacks and drinks. I really missed that environment after the training! L Such a chance to enter the PM office may not come in my life again. J
Here is the detail of the Training:
- Course Name: Online Earning Course
- Course Duration: 2 Days
- Total Time: 16 Hours (8 Hours per day)
- Date: December 09 to 10, 2011. (Friday & Saturday)
- Time: 10 am to 6 pm
- Organization: Bangladesh Institute of Design & Development (BIDD)
- Topics: Working in oDesk, Microworkers, Microturks, Freelancing, Blogging, SEO, Google AdSense, Opening Accounts in PayPal, Payza (Former Alert pay) etc.
After the training of BIDD, I decided to develop my site. I tried to earn money through blogging with the help of Google AdSense. I translated previously published Bengali posts into English. Because AdSense doesn’t support Bengali blogs usually.
I also got AdSnese in my site. Several times Google rejected my application. But finally I got it with more than 50,000 page views and 90 posts. Unfortunately my AdSense account was disabled due to invalid clicks by someone. But later I got it again. Everything was fine. But this time Google banned me without proper reason. In fact, Google’s policy is very hard for Bangladeshis. AdSense is too strict for us.
I really disappointed when my AdSense account gets disabled. But I never stopped writing. I also submitted my blog to those illegal sites that offer free pageviews. But later I understood those views are machine generated. So I stopped submitted my blog to those sites. These sites are very harmful for your blog. If Google found your site in those illegal sites, you might be banned or ignored in Google Search Result!
I also submitted this blog into social sharing sites and online directories. Definitely these are valid ways to increase traffics. And I used to comment and post on popular forums, blogs and other sites. I’ve got lots of visitors from those sites.
I used to request my friends, classmates and acquaintances to visit my site. Most of them found my site useful. Some of them were not interested. But as I told them again and again they felt bore. Here I can name some of them – Polash, Sabbir, Adnan. And I am sorry to them. How many times a person can tolerate? I knew that even some of them were angry with me due to my request to visit the site. But I didnt care! I continued to make them bore! J
I not only requested them visit my site, but also told them to share my site on Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus. And with this, giving like, tweet and +1 were mandatory. They were also kidding me and saying- I’m crazy. And really I am!
I knew these will never increase my visitors. Because I had only few classmates who are regular with me at chat. They can visit my site only 10 to 20 times a day. Then I decided I will never make them bore. Because this is not effective at all. Who needs my contents will automatically visit my site. I don’t need to tell them. And people are not only busy with blogging like me. They have other works too.
Now my policy is just- writing better. In each new post, I try to develop my style. I always try to write good and unique contents. I don’t submit my blog to the sites which offers page views and social sharing. This is really a bad idea. Most importantly these are not original. And I don’t like fake pride.
