According to a column in MuscleMag, olive oil is touted as being healthy for your heart, but it is also beneficial for your stomach. Researchers at Valme University Hospital in Seville, Spain, combined virgin olive oil with H. pylori, which causes most peptic ulcers and come types of stomach cancer, in a test tube containing acid similar to that found in your stomach. The oil killed eight different strains of the powerful bacteria, 3 of which even antibiotics couldn’t defeat.

Olive oil’s high level of polyphenols is credited for the results.

My take: hey, anything that keeps your digestive system and internals organs running smoothly is always going to bode well for your muscle building / weight gaining goals.

This weekend, professional bodybuilder Phil Heath won in decisive manner. Adding at least 15 pounds of new muscle in the last year, definitely bringing up body parts that he considered needed some working on, such has his shoulders, is now laying to rest any doubts to whether if he is the next big thing in bodybuilding or not. Amazing how someone who has only competed in 3 or 4 professional bodybuilding competitions, yet has won 3 of them.

There are some pros that compete for years and years on end and never rich the top…….much less as quickly as Phil Heath. Stay tuned for more to come with this individual, namely, the fast approaching 2008 Arnold Classic.
