Science and experts alike say�high-intensity interval workouts�reign as fitness royalty. Touted as a top-notch method for�weight loss, improving your�VO2 max�and even helping you run faster, it�s no wonder this approach to exercise holds such high wellness honors.
Of course, just like any workout you do over and over, the routine can get stale. That is, until you learn the foundation of�HIIT workouts�and then switch it up every time you go to break a sweat. Allow trainer�Adam Rosante, creator of Two Week Transformation and author of�Super Smoothie Revolution,�to break down the basics so you can turn up the benefits.

HIIT Workout: What You Need to Make It Work
�The foundation [of HIIT] is a series of intervals of intense activity, coupled with intervals of less-intense activity or complete rest,� says Rosante. �Beyond buzz, it�s popularity can largely be attributed to its efficiency. HIIT�s a great way to get fit in a short amount of time. But the key is to ensure that the high-intensity intervals are truly performed at your highest intensity.�
How do you know if you�re HIIT-ing it hard enough? Rosante says to go at 80 to 95 percent of your maximum�heart rate�during the work intervals, and 60 to 65 percent during your rest periods.�(To find your max heart rate, just subtract your age from 220. Then take the percentages from there.) If you don�t have a heart rate monitor, push hard enough through the work intervals that you�re sucking wind. You shouldn�t be able to hold a convo, Rosante says.
You can do a HIIT workout with almost any exercise, from plank hip dips to�jumping jacks�to everyone�s favorite:�burpees. That�s because it�s more about intensity than the specific movements, Rosante explains. But to help you narrow down what to do, Rosante says he prefers a mix of moves that force the glutes, quads and hamstrings (the body�s biggest muscles) to work explosively. Some of his go-to�s include�jump squats, plyo lunges and sprints.
But don�t stop there. Rosante often alternates between a lower body and upper body move, or a lower body and total body exercise. �The alternation forces your heart to pump blood out to the muscles in a much higher volume, which, naturally, means your�heart rate�is significantly elevated,� Rosante explains. �When you boost your heart rate like this, you disrupt your metabolic pathways in such a way that they�re scrambling to return to normal long after the workout has ended.� This concept of burning calories even after you stop busting a move � known as�excess post-exercise oxygen consumption�or EPOC � will blast fat and calories, fast.

Spike your heart rate, tone your body and�break through plateaus�with this HIIT formula from Rosante. Start with a goal intensity, then pick an option from each layer. No two workouts have to be the same � but you�ll get sweaty and fit with each round. We�ll call this one smash HIIT.

To warm up before you dive in, do a series of�dynamic stretches�and a few high jumps. After you HIIT it, cool down with a solid�stretch�of all major muscle groups. Rosante suggests holding each one for at least 3 to 5 deep breathes.

Conventional medicine is necessary to cure disease, but if you really want to stay healthy, you should incorporate treatments from the field of need to incorporate curing illness, but if you want to stay as healthy you should incorporate practices from the field known as integrative medicine as well, a top expert says.
“The field of integrative, or complementary, medicine, grew out of what used to be known as ‘alternative health,’ but the concepts we use today are based on scientific evidence,” Dr. Ashwin Mehta tells Newsmax Health.
Conventional medicine, known also as Western medicine, is a system in which medical doctors and other healthcare professionals treat symptoms and diseases using such means as drugs, radiation or surgery.
In contrast, the term “alternative medicine” describes a range of medical therapies that are not regarded as orthodox by the medical profession, such as herbalism, homeopathy, and acupuncture.
“In the 1970s, the alternative medicine gained traction in the U.S. as a pushback against the biochemical paradigm that was becoming associated with medicine,” says Mehta, medical director of integrative medicine at Memorial Healthcare System in Hollywood, Fla.
“But, on the other hand, the realization was growing that there might be something of value in these ancient healing traditions, and so we should scientifically evaluate them.”
When some alternative therapies were held up to this scrutiny, they were found to be baseless, says Mehta. On the other hand, others were found to be valuable. These have since been known as integrative, or complementary therapies, he adds.
“Integrative medicine uses only the therapies that have been found to have scientific validity,” says Mehta.
He likes to explain this concept by using an example in cancer treatment.
“If the body is a garden and cancer is an unwelcome weed, the job of the oncologists (cancer doctors) is pluck out the weed and our job is to make the soil of the garden inhospitable to the weed ever coming back,” he says.
One of the most valuable adjuncts that integrative medicine offers today’s patient is the ability of these therapies to reduce inflammation.
Inflammation is the same reddening process you see if you cut your finger. But there also is an invisible type of inflammation, known as “chronic bodily inflammation,” which occurs inside your body and cannot be seen.
Such inflammation is increasingly viewed as the culprit in the development of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer as well, notes Mehta.
“Today, we use the term ‘metabolic syndrome,” to describe a number of conditions, including high cholesterol, high blood sugars, high blood pressure and obesity, that increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer,” says Mehta.
What these conditions have in common is that they cause a “predominance of inflammation,” he adds.
To combat inflammation, follow these 5 principles of integrative medicine, he says:
Use food as medicine: Much of our medication, from aspirin to chemotherapy, has been derived from leafy plants, so it makes sense to use them in cooking. Green tea, turmeric and cinnamon have anti-inflammatory properties.
Use food to strengthen your immune system: The Mediterranean Diet is anti-inflammatory because it features a largely plant-based diet that focuses on vegetables, nuts and seeds, cold-water fish and healthy herbs and spices.
Get a good night’s sleep: During REM sleep, the body’s temperature dips slightly (about 1 ½ degrees) creating a cooling effect that helps reduce inflammation. If you have trouble sleeping, check your caffeine intake and turn of “screens,” in your room that can disrupt your melatonin levels. (Melatonin is the “sleep” hormone). This means TV’s, tables, and smart phones. Aromatherapy, the use of essential oils, can also create a restful environment.
Consider cxercise as medicine: A sedentary lifestyle impairs circulation over time, contributing to physical deconditioning that gives rise to obesity and osteoporosis and also increases the risk of high blood pressure and diabetes.
Practice meditation. A daily period of meditation has been found to strengthen the mind-body connection.

Evidence keeps mounting that exercise is good for the brain. It can lower a person�s risk for Alzheimer�s disease and may even slow brain aging by about 10 years. Now, new research helps illuminate how, exactly, working out improves brain health.
In one research review published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, researchers examined 39 studies that looked at the link between exercise and cognitive abilities among people over age 50. They found that aerobic exercise appears to improve a person�s cognitive function and resistance training can enhance a person�s executive function and memory. Other exercises like tai chi were also linked to improvements in cognition, though there wasn�t as much available evidence. Ultimately, the researchers concluded that 45 minutes to an hour of moderate-to-vigorous exercise was good for the brain.
�There is now a wide body of research showing that the benefits to the body with exercise also exist for the brain,� says study author Joe Northey, a PhD candidate at the University of Canberra Research Institute for Sport and Exercise in Australia. �When older adults undertake aerobic or resistance exercise, we see changes to the structure and function of areas of the brain responsible for complex mental tasks and memory function.�
RELATED:�Here’s What Playing an Instrument Can Do for Your Brain
But how does exercise have these effects? Another new study presented at the American Physiological Society�s annual meeting in Chicago explored one possible way. In the study, researchers from New Mexico Highlands University found that when people walk, the pressure of making impact with the ground sends waves through the arteries, which increase blood flow to the brain (also called cerebral blood flow). Getting enough blood to the brain is important for healthy brain function, since blood flow brings the brain oxygen and nutrients.
In the small study�which has not yet been published�researchers used ultrasounds to assess arteries and changes in cerebral blood flow in 12 healthy young adults while they were standing, walking and running. The increases in blood flow were greater when the men and women ran, but walking was enough to spur the effect. �[Increased cerebral blood flow] gives the brain more to work with,� says study author Ernest R. Greene, a professor of engineering and biology at New Mexico Highlands University. �It�s another positive aspect of exercise.�
Scientists are still exploring multiple ways by which fitness improves the brain. But blood flow is a promising path, since it can also help create new brain cells. The protein BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) also seems to play a role because it helps repair and protect brain cells from degeneration. Exercise can also boost mood by triggering the release of feel-good hormones and chemicals, like endorphins, which can improve brain health. A 2015 study found that exercise may be able to prevent the onset of depressive symptoms.
�Each type of exercise seems to have different effects on the growth factors responsible for the growth of new neurons and blood vessels in the brain,� says Northey. �That may indicate why doing both aerobic and resistance training is of benefit to cognitive function.�

Upping the intake of soy protein may help fight inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), say Penn State researchers whose study included both mice and cultured human colon cells.
Inflammatory bowel diseases, which include ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease, are characterized by either continuous or periodic inflammation of the colon and are a significant risk factor for colon cancer.
For their study, researchers removed protein sources from the diets of the mice and substituted soy-protein concentrate. The soy equaled about 12 percent of their diet.
“We didn’t want to get carried away with using doses that were really high and would crowd out all the other protein that was there,” said researcher Zachary Bitzer. “Instead, we wanted to find a scenario that was going to fit into a more human-relevant situation.”
The dietary soy-protein at the 12-percent dose level improved body-weight loss and swelling of the spleen in the mice with induced inflammatory bowel disease.
“Soy-protein concentrate mitigates markers of colonic inflammation and loss of gut barrier function in the mice with induced IBD,” said researcher Amy Wopperer.
Followup studies will focus on whether the results translate to people. Because soy protein is a widely used food ingredient — often used as a meat substitute and commonly referred to as “texturized vegetable proteins” in ingredient lists — the researchers believe human studies could be arranged in the near future.
The study is published in The Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry,
Other studies have found soy to have health benefits. A study from Wayne State University found that compounds in soybeans can make radiation treatment of lung cancer more effective while helping to preserve normal tissue.
Soy isoflavones, a natural component of soybeans, increase the ability of radiation to kill cancer cells by hindering pathways necessary for the cancer cells to survive. At the same time, they act as antioxidants that protect normal cells from radiation-induced toxicity.
“In contrast to drugs, soy is very, very safe,” said Gilda Hillman, Ph.D., professor of radiation oncology at Wayne State University’s School of Medicine. “It’s also readily available, and it’s cheap.”
