Those who wish to burn fat should consider supplementation with green tea. Green tea supplementation is more about green tea in tablet or capsule form rather than drinking green tea in beverage form.
Doctors in an obesity study said that earlier research had shown green tea increased
fat-burning capacity and wanted to see if epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), the main catechin in green tea, would do the same. The body stores fat for sustained energy, but when the body does not regularly metabolize these fat stores, fat accumulates.
In the study, 10 healthy overweight or obese men took EGCG with or without caffeine, caffeine alone or a placebo. After three days, the men fasted overnight and then ate a standard meal. Two hours after the meal, researchers measured fat-burning capacity.
Compared to the placebo group, those who had taken a 600 mg dose of EGCG burned 20 percent more fat, and those who had taken 300 mg of EGCG--a lower dose--burned 33 percent more fat.

Gregory Chandler - Bone Loss
People over the age of 40 should take calcium and vitamin D supplements to maintain bone density.
In a study of bone density, 35 post-menopausal women, aged 55 to 65, took dairy products fortified with 1,200 mg of calcium plus 300 IU of vitamin D per day for the first 12 months, then 1,200 mg of calcium plus 900 IU of vitamin D per day for the next 18 months. The group receiving the supplements also received dietary counseling. A similar group got neither supplements nor dietary counseling.
After 30 months, compared to the non-supplement group, the calcium-vitamin D group had better bone mineral density in the arm, total spine and total body.
Although the study was on females, males over the age of 40 should also supplement with calcium and vitamin D to prevent bone loss.

GREGORY CHANDLER ON ARGININE
Arginine is a crucial amino acid for many physiological processes. Chief among these is arginine's ability to increase nitric oxide in the body. When you supplement with 3 to 5 grams of arginine before your workouts, you will notice that you look more vascular and that your muscles feel more pumped. Increased nitric oxide helps dilate blood vessels, which allows for more blood, oxygen and nutrients to flow through them. You will particularly notice the increased blood flow with the muscle group you are training. For instance, when you're performing barbell curls, your biceps will feel more engorged and the veins will pop out more than they usually do. Take your arginine dosage within 30 minutes of starting your workout for best results.

GREGORY CHANDLER, ATTORNEY AT LAW, ON PYCNOGENOL
Pycnogenol is often added to bodybuilding supplements to increase blood flow.
Pycnogenol is an antioxidant flavonoid from the French maritime pine tree that increases the activity of the enzyme nitric-oxide synthase helping to convert arginine into NO. As such, Pycnogenol is particularly beneficial when it is paired with arginine supplementation. Studies have shown that the increased blood flow that comes from arginine supplementation may be dramatically enhanced with the support of Pycnogenol.
For best results, look for products that contain 50 to 100 milligrams of Pycnogenol.

GREGORY CHANDLER - Attorney Ghostwriters
For numerous reasons, attorneys are using attorney ghostwriters. Attorney ghostwriters are individuals that actually write the product. The attorney that uses the ghostwriter actually puts her on his name on the product.
I often ghostwrite pleadings for other attorneys. For example, if an attorney desires a brief for a court but lacks the time to prepare the brief the attorney can hire a ghostwriter.
Attorneys also hire ghostwriters for blogs.
If you want to hire an attorney ghostwriter, place an ad on Craigslist.

GREGORY CHANDLER ON BLACK HISTORY MONTH
February is Black History Month. Given my military background, I write today about Dorie Miller.
On December 7, 1941, the military forces of the Japanese Empire attacked Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. Doris "Dorie" Miller was working as a food service worker on the USS West Virginia. During the attack by the Japanese, Miller manned a .50 caliber Browning anti-aircraft machine gun. As a food service worker, Miller was not trained in the use of the anti-aircraft machine gun.
Miller had shown the fighting spirit prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor. Miller had won the heavyweight boxing title for his ship. It was on this ship, the USS West Virginia, that Miller faced the greatest challenge of his short Navy career.
When the alarm sounded for what the Navy calls General Quarters, Miller left behind the laundry he was collecting and headed to the anti-aircraft battery area on the ship. He discovered that a torpedo had damaged the anti-aircraft station, so he went on deck. Miller's physical strength as a boxer enabled him to carry wounded sailors to safety before he was assigned to help the mortally wounded captain of the ship. It was then that Miller stepped out of his position as a cook and grabbed the unoccupied machine gun. Miller fired at Japanese planes until the weapon ran out of ammunition. Despite having no training with this weapon, Miller persevered, stating: "It wasn't hard. I just pulled the trigger and she worked fine. I had watched the others with these guns. I guess I fired her for about fifteen minutes."
Catherine Reef, author of African-Americans in the Military: A to Z of African-Americans, writes that Miller shot down at least four, and possibly as many as six, Japanese warplanes.
Admiral Chester W. Nimitz presented Miller with the Navy Cross on 1 April 1942. According to Reef, Nimitz said at the time, "This marks the first time in this conflict that such a high tribute has been made in the Pacific Fleet to a member of his race and I'm sure that the future will see other similarly honored for brave acts."
Miller's act of patriotic heroism also earned him the Purple Heart Medal, the American Defense Service Medal, the Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal, Fleet Clasp, and the World War II Victory Medal.
Miller was killed in combat when aboard the USS Liscome Bay in 1943. Miller was on board during Operation Galvanic, the capture of Makin and Tarawa Atolls in the Gilbert Islands, when a single torpedo from a Japanese submarine struck the ship. The ship's aircraft bomb magazine exploded, quickly sinking the warship in minutes. Miller was never found and was later officially presumed dead.
The Navy commissioned a frigate in honor of Miller in 1973 called the USS Miller. Also, the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority dedicated a bronze commemorative plaque of Miller, located in Miller Family Park on the U. S. Naval Base, Pearl Harbor.
Dorie Miller stood out among those on the USS West Virginia. He stepped up to help his country in its time of need; and although he was not extensively trained in weaponry, he stepped into the line of fire in defense of his fellow sailors and civilians.

Gregory Chandler - Water for Better Blood Flow
Most bodybuilders want better blood flow. One way to increase blood flow is by drinking more water. If you want more blood volume in your body and in your target muscles, then you want more water volume. Water is the largest component of the human body, and taking in plenty of water before, during and after your workouts will help increase the fluid in your system--and in your target muscles. To really drive your blood flow, start drinking plenty of fluids early in the day. Strive to get in 1 gallon of water, spread fairly evenly throughout the day. To maximize your blood flow, drink about 32 ounces 30 to 60 minutes before you train, and continue to drink water slowly throughout your workouts.
