Innéov Fermeté is a magical pill developed by the confectionery giant Nestlé and the world’s biggest cosmetics company,L’Oréal. Innéov Fermeté is a sugar-coated pill which as per the tests has shown dramatic results in slowing down the ageing of the skin and thereby reducing the wrinkles.

Scientists developing the pill based it on lycopene, the red carotene pigment found in tomatoes. They modified it into a form more readily absorbed by human cells, then combined it with a form of vitamin C and with isoflavones — chemicals extracted from soya beans.

All three ingredients are powerful antioxidants which, scientists believe, help protect tissue against damage.

Innéov Fermeté or the new magical pill will soon be available in UK as per a report on TimesOnline. While the pill is reported to be producing results in keeping the skin wrinkle free, it does come with a hefty cost of $40 for a supply that only lasts 10 days.

If you too are interested in body building or gaining more muscles in your body, this article is going to list down a few tips which must help you.

The core of the tips and body building / muscle gaining revolves around increasing protein intake as proteins contain amino acids, which are building blocks of muscles.

1.) What to eat and drink to get more muscle mass?

Eat foods rich in Protein like eggs, lean ground beef ( or some other red meat), tuna, almonds, walnuts, whole-wheat pasta, multigrain bread, beans etc. You must also make it a point to eat plenty of raw vegetables and fruits to balance it out.

Drink Protein shake and also drink a lot of milk. Milk contains calcium which helps in building stronger bones.

When it comes to getting a better body and building muscles, getting rid of the extra fat in your body, its important that you eat a meal every 2-3 hours. Eating a meal at regular intervals keeps your metabolism rate up.

2.) What is the importance of workout?

Workouts are important to get better muscles. You can do a workout every alternate day. Alternate day workout helps your muscles repair.

Get a workout that looks like this, and make sure you start with a fairly heavy weight 75-100 lbs and make sure to rest at least 2 minutes between working sets (not warm up sets). Its advisable to consult your physio / doctor before you do any workout.

Workout A:
Squats 3 sets of 5
Bench press 3 sets of 5
Dead lift 1 sets of 5

Workout B:
Squats 3 sets of 5
Shoulder press 3 sets of 5
Bent-Over (Pendlay) rows 3 sets of 5

Alternate every other day (EX: Monday – workout A, Wednesday – workout B, Friday – workout A. Next Week: Monday – workout B, Wednesday – workout A, Friday – workout A. Etc.) Add 5 lbs everyday (10 lbs to dead lifts).

You should warm up for each lift like this:

2 sets of 5 with just the bar
1 set of 5 with 25% of the weight
1 set of 3 with 50% of the weight
1 set of 2 with 75% of the weight

Muscle only grows through the process of working it hard through contractions and then the body seeking to recover and repair the muscles from the exertion.

If you follow the steps above, you can expect to see some results within 12 weeks.
