Ally Methyl Trisulfide Dithiolthiones - a sort of sulfide / thiol
found in cruciferous vegetables (such as broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, cabbage, and kale), which might provide the health benefits of reducing low-density lipoproteins or `bad` cholesterol and protecting the immune system from damage.
Phytate - a complex chemical (with large molecules), which is the principal (i.e., 60 to 80 percent) salt of phosphorous in chemical form inside the husks of whole grains, oilseeds, and their by products. Monogastric animals like man (for instance, pigs) are not able to absorb and utilize phosphorus within phytate, as their bodies do not produce the enzyme called `phytase` in their gastrointestinal tracts, and consequently phosphorus (in the form of phytate) is purged out of the body into the atmosphere. When phytase enzyme is present in the ration of a monogastric animal at adequately high levels, the one-stomached animal can then assimilate the phytate, and by doing so, release phosphorus for digestion.
Proanthocyanidins - a kind of tannin (a natural substance) present in cranberries, cranberry products, cocoa, and chocolate, which might supply the health benefits of improving urinary tract health and of reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Crunch - abdominal exercise designed to work solely on the abs while, concurrently, eliminating undesirable movement from the iliopsoas (the muscle group that bends the hips and decreasing the risk of stress on the lower back. This abdominal exercise, which is performed while lying on the back with knees bent and curling the shoulders up toward the pelvis, is the chosen workout for abdominal training over sit-ups.
Spinning - a kind of physical workout that utilizes an immovable bike in order to replicate an actual outdoor bicycle ride, including traversing difficult terrain and inclines. No computers are built into this indoor cycle, and the device has a single, fixed gear, pedals with toe clips, racing handlebars, and a seat which can be adjusted, up and down, fore and aft. In addition, the spinner has a resistance knob which the rider is able to adjust to set the intensity of every exercise session.
Diet - the usual food and drink consumed by a person or animal. Also means an eating plan for medical reasons, or as a measure to promote weight loss.
