"Is it steady that if you replace a high-carb diet with a protein diet your risk of heart disease can actually fare down?"

Yes. There is evidence that if you replace simple carbs that are high-glycemic (elicit a puissant blood glucose and insulin response) with a protein subsistence (preferably low in saturated fat), this may actually have a beneficial efficiency on your blood lipids, resulting in lowered cholesterol and triglycerides. This isn't to say all carbs are bad. It's picking the right carbs that matters. For instance, it's better to pick out brown rice over white, or whole wheat bread across white.

It's difficult to say which postscripts to recommend without knowing your eating habits and to what extent much exercise you're doing. You should be walking 20 to 40 minutes at least three times for week.

For now, forget about the correlatives Losing fat and staying in shape requires exercise and a convenient diet first. Once you've veiled those bases, you can attempt supplements. Lift at least pair to three times per week with emphasis upon multiple joint lifts. And I would add easy aerobic activity, like as brisk walking, three times through week for 20 to 40 minutes.

"I've been an avid tennis player for 20 years and have lately experienced soreness in my knee and shoulders Is there anything I can take to help this?"

I assume you've tried a little bit of intermission first. You might also consider cutting back in succession your exercise until the pain subsides. Also, as a means of prevention, there is convenient evidence to show that glucosamine (1500 mg daily) and chondroitin sulfate (1200 mg daily) can help rebuild cartilage and ease your joint pain.
