The unknown long-term effects of vaping With the recent surge in vaping, many people are wondering about the potential long-term effects of vaping.

Here’s what you need to know about how many sets and reps you should be doing at the gym, so you can get fit faster and see better results from your workouts. Aim for quality over quantity If your goal is to build muscle, the perfect number of sets you do depends on a few factors.

When you start to lose weight, it’s easy to be worried about two things: how quickly you’ll see results and whether or not you’ll lose the muscle that’s taking your body up higher than your preferred weight. When it comes to effective weight loss, you need to focus on both fat loss and lean muscle preservation in order to get the best results, so here are some tips for losing fat while preserving muscle mass. Carbohydrates are vital A common misconception is that carbohydrates are a detriment to fitness, but carbs are in fact vital. Contrary to popular belief, you do not need to cut out carbs entirely in order to lose weight. Carbohydrates should make up around 40-50% of your diet and if you want to accelerate fat loss then restricting carbs further than this is going to be detrimental.

According to the Dietary Reference Intake, women ages 19-50 should consume 46 grams of protein per day, and men 56 grams per day; these values increase in tandem with age and physical activity level. However, unless you’re a highly competitive athlete training multiple times per day or struggling with malnutrition, you might not need as much protein as you think. Here are some of the ways you might be overdoing it with protein—and what you can do about it! Calorie density in protein Some people might think that high-protein diets will cause them to overeat or eat more because of the increased amount of protein they are consuming, but in reality it's the total amount of calories consumed in a day that affects weight and not just what types of macronutrients are present. Protein is important for building muscle mass and maintaining tissues, but there are lim
