When to Drink Muscle Milk

By Samantha Herman
eHow Contributing Writer

The benefits touted by the makers of this high-protein formula have created a buzz in the bodybuilding community.

Before Your Workout

1. If you choose to drink Muscle Milk before your workout, as the label on the package recommends, be sure to drink it well enough in advance that your body will have absorbed what it needs and it won’t make you feel ill. Just as swimming on a full stomach can make you uncomfortable, running, jogging, or lifting weights on a full stomach can have the same result. Try drinking Muscle Milk at least thirty minutes prior to a workout.

After Your Workout

2. After you pump iron or play a game of soccer, your body will need calories. Otherwise, you will start to get tired and your blood sugar could get too low. Muscle Milk delivers on the calorie front by providing 348 calories for every two scoops that you add to your glass of water. Try to drink the Muscle Milk within one hour after a workout to get the necessary nutrients.

Before Bedtime

3. According to the label on Muscle Milk, this is a good thing to drink before bedtime. Many bodybuilders swear that ingesting a high-protein supplement that will promote anabolic processes right before bed helps to increase muscle tone. If you burn a lot of calories throughout the day, then having Muscle Milk before bed should not make you gain pounds of fat. However, having a calorific drink right before bed if you are not active and burning a sufficient amount of calories can cause you to gain fat.

Meal Replacement

4. In a pinch, Muscle Milk can serve as a meal replacement because it is high in calories. However, your body still needs fruits, vegetables, and healthy carbohydrates to function properly. Therefore, Muscle Milk will keep you going throughout the day if you do not have access to a regular meal, but it should not be used to replace multiple meals in one

5 Reasons You Should Drink A Glass Of Milk Before Bedtime

“Got Milk?” I asked in one of my previous posts, where I described the numerous health benefits of drinking at least 24 ounces of milk everyday.

As you already know after reading that post, milk is an excellent source of complete protein (containing all 9 essential amino acids which are required to meet our physiological needs), one of the primary sources of bone-building calcium for adults and also a treasure-trove of vitamins (especially D and K).

So if 24 ounces of milk are all you need in a a day, is there any specific reason to get 8 of those ounces just before going to bed at night? Read on:

1. Casein absorption: Almost 80% of the protein found in milk is in the phosphorus-containing form known as casein – a complete protein. Casein is hydrophobic (literally “scared of water”) and so it is not soluble in water but instead appears in milk as a suspension – and for this reason it is also called “Micellar Casein” (separated without the use of chemicals). The human body, however, processes casein a little uniquely. Unlike whey (another dairy protein) which the body can absorb very fast, Micellar Casein takes a while to be absorbed into the cells and so its processing is not a high priority task for the body. Milk consumed during the day will still slowly get you the protein, but when consumed at night it gives the body the best chance of maximum absorption. You can read a good description of Micellar Casein at N101.
2. Tryptophan: Remember those 9 essential amino acids I keep harping about? Well, turns out one of those is the sleep-inducing tryptophan. If you are wondering where you have heard that before, it is the same chemical found in turkey leading people to feel sleepy after a hearty Thanksgiving dinner. Of course scientists point out that tryptophan works best on an empty stomach and so it would be wise to give a gap of atleast 1-2 hours between dinner and your glass of milk!
3. Controlled snacking: With an 8 oz glass of milk reserved to be your final snack of the day, you are that much less likely to indulge in a heavier, diet-crashing, cake/cookie/pastry snack when hunger hits at bed-time. Your trusted elixir will keep you well satiated.
4. Get to 24 ounces: I don’t know about you but with a full-schedule day, I find getting 24 ounces of milk a pretty difficult goal to achieve. Even if you ensure 8oz in the morning and somehow manage another glass during the day, you are still likely to fall short of your target. Unless you make the bedtime glass of milk a regular habit.
5. Calcium: What better time to get some calcium into your system than when your body most needs it to build strong bones and damaged muscles caused by exercise? Remember you don’t build your body in the gym – you build it when you sleep/rest.

There you have it readers – 5 pertinent reasons to drink a nice, tall, warm glass of milk right before bedtime at night. Just make sure, though, that you are drinking either skim or 1-2% milk and not the whole-milk variety – leave whole milk for the babies!

Win XP Alt-Tab Switcher Powertoy Uninstall

When I started a new job, I inherited a wonderful (yes, that’s sarcasm) PC fully loaded with some truly outstanding (yep, there it is again) tools and utilities. One of these was Microsoft’s Alt-Tab Switcher Powertoy. I hate it!!! It’s slow and doesn’t always work as expected. Anyway, I went to Add/Remove Programs, but there was no uninstall link. I tried to browse thru the Program Files and Windows directories, but didn’t see anything there, either. I searched the web, but still couldn’t find a way to get rid of it. Finally, I figured I’d try to reinstall it. Turns out that the MSI file gets placed in the C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Installations directory. Just run that, choose “Remove,” then reboot, and you should be good-to-go!

Ched hastens talks on 5-year nursing course

Monday, January 19, 2009

IN AN effort to make courses in the Philippines at par with the rest
of the world, the Commission on Higher Education (Ched) is hastening
consultation with various colleges and universities regarding plans on
making Nursing, a five-year course.

Ched’s timetable is that by the end of February, deans of colleges
and universities could submit their inputs regarding Ched Memorandum
Order 5, or the directive that would make nursing a five-year course.

Arroyo Watch: Sun.Star blog on President Arroyo

The directive drew negative reaction from students and the parents
who feel burdened if an additional year is added to the course.

Ched Chairman Emmanuel Reyes said if deans are able to comply with
the February 28 deadline, consultation in various colleges and
universities in the country would be conducted on March and April.

Depending on the outputs gathered, Reyes said changes in the curriculum might be implemented on June 2009.

Review classes on the fourth year of a course, would likewise be implemented.

Similar to those taking up law, Reyes said remedial classes are the
Ched’s “informal” way of reducing the number of students who enroll in
review centers, before they take licensure examinations.

This way, students and parents need not spend thousands just to get
enlisted in review centers. “We don’t know if review centers could
still exist,” Reyes said.

Following the 2006 Nursing exam leakage, the Ched last year, ordered
review centers to tie up with higher education institutions (HEIs).

The deadline given is for centers to have tied up by November.

Review centers protested the move, prompting the Supreme Court (SC) to observe the status quo for the meantime.

Reyes discouraged review centers from establishing their businesses
within shopping centers or restaurants. He said these are not the
appropriate venues for students who are studying.

He was in Baguio last Friday for the regional consultation on policy directions on higher education.

Along with many educators, Reyes supports long-time proposals to
revise the Philippine education system by adding more years an
individual has to spend in school. Among the proposals is for primary
education, which includes, elementary and high school be taken in 12
years or seven years in elementary and five in high school.

For college education, high school students will first have to take
a two-year pre-college education, similar to vocational courses in the
Philippine setting, before taking a qualifying exam for a university
degree.

While the Philippines generally showed a lukewarm response to the
idea, Angeles said they would concentrate first on some of the most
in-demand courses before attempting at changing the entire Philippine
education landscape.

Nursing, along with other medical and allied medical courses are some of the most in-demand jobs here and abroad.

Plan on 5-year college courses not final

Cebu Daily News
First Posted 09:08:00 01/31/2009

Filed Under: Education

THE PROPOSAL to add one more year to courses in college is not yet final since the Commission on Higher Education (CHEd) is still studying it, CHEd chairman Emmanuel Angeles said yesterday.

Angeles said a technical committee is still reviewing the proposed
reform to add another year to college courses to put the country’s
tertiary education system at par with that of other countries.

“There is nothing definite yet. We are not even sure if we would be able to implement this. It is not yet final,” Angeles said.

He said the technical committee would finish its review by next
month and, stating in March, CHEd would conduct wide-ranging
consultations among the major stakeholders in the country’s education
system.

Under the reform program dubbed the “Philippine Main Education
Highway,” existing courses requiring licensure exams by the
Professional Regulation Commission would last for five years starting
this coming school year. And starting 2010, even non-board courses
would also be extended by one year.

The program aims to reform the baccalaureate curriculum in the
college level and would be implemented following the “10+2+3 formula”
or 10 years of basic education, a two-year pre-university program, and
then a final three years of specialization.

This means that after completing 10 six years in elementary and four
years of high school, students could either proceed to vocational
training or take a two-year “pre-university program” before finally
taking their specialized courses.

The reform program was supposed to be rolled out in two phases with
Phase I beginning this coming school year (2009-2010) and affecting
courses with PRC licensure exams.

Engineering and Architecture programs would follow the 10+2+(3 or 4)
scheme in accordance with the standards set by international
accrediting bodies for these fields. The other courses that would be
affected during Phase I include Accounting, Occupational Therapy,
Physical Therapy, and Pharmacy.

Angeles added that nursing actually now takes five years since nursing students are required to take summer classes.

Phase II, which was supposed to take take effect starting school
year 2010-2011, would require all four-year board and non-board
programs to follow the 10+2+3 system, which is in accordance with the
Bologna Accord, a sweeping educational reform program in Europe that
would take effect also in 2010.

All of these, however, might be put on hold depending on the results
of the review by the CHEd technical committee and the consultations
that would be held later this year. INQUIRER
