Fenugreek is an annual plant. It is cultivated worldwide as a semiarid crop. Its seeds and leaves are common ingredients in dishes from the Indian subcontinent. Culinary use of fenugreek is usually believed to be safe. However fenugreek is not approved or recommended for clinical use by any government agency. This article allows you to know only about the beneficial effects of the fenugreek and not recommended to follow the same without prior approval from your physician. Let's get into the topic... Effect of fenugreek on galactagogue Fenugreek, a herbal remedy used for galactagogue (Insufficient milk production).Consumption of fenugreek significantly increased amount of the produced breast milk. WHO recommends exclusive breastfeeding for infants upto six months of age. Infants who were breasted for longer period may also have a lower risk of developing obesity and T2DM at adulthood. For mothers breastfeeding could limit the risk of ovarian cancer and T2DM (Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Alcohol is not an essential part of the human diet but various alcohols of which the only one quantitative significance of ethanol are consumed by larger part of the world's population. And also alcohol is significant source of energy 7 kilo calories (29 Kilo Joule) per gram of alcohol (Ethanol). Intake of alcohol may impair performance of endurance training. There is some groups of evidence supported that athletes consume more alcohols than non-athletes.    Ethanol on an impaired glycogen metabolism: Re synthesis of glycogen stores in liver and muscle is one of the key goals of athletes after intensive training or competition. Most of the evidence shoes that synthesis of of glycogen is impaired by impaired hepatic glucose output in the presence of even relatively low levels of ethanol. At the same time there seems to be no effect on type 2 muscle fibers. The reduced hepatic glucose output will result in less insulin secretion and thereby ethanol affects the glucose release and glu

As you may know that resistance training results in increased muscle fiber size, Whereas endurance training does not increase fiber size instead it increases "Mitochondrial Genesis". So here the question arises, Does one type of training really interfere with the effects of  one another? Here we say, " Performing Resistance Training & Endurance training results in impaired strength gains when compared to performing resistance training alone". Read below to know about the mechanisms responsible for the impairment of the strength development. Neural Factors: It is believed that concurrent training impairs motor unit recruitment and therefore decrease the muscle force production. Decreased Muscle Glycogen: Successive bouts of either strength or endurance training can produce chronically low levels of muscle glycogen. Beginning a training sessions with low muscle glycogen can reduce the ability to perform resistance training sessions and impair the magnitude of stre

Are you a Fitness Enthusiast?, Then you may familiar with the term "Detraining". Sometimes you may have a question, 'What happens next if i 'Quit' my training?' . Here we are coming up with a relevant information for the question. Like how your body adapts to the training and changes occurs such as change in body composition, changes in physiological, Hematological & Metabolic activities, Reversing of all these training adaptations can occur if you quit your training. Let's see deeper into this topic, What is Detraining (AKA, Reversibility Principle of Training): It is a process, in which your training adaptations will start decline, It occurs when person quits his or her training program. Partial or complete loss of training adaptations as a result of a training reduction or cessation. It occurs due to lack of compliance with an exercise program, Injury, Illness (or) a planned periodization transition phase. ( Note: All Physiological variables don'
