Star Footballers Eye Start Properties

If you thought the property market has little to do with football. Think again! A recent study by a magazine shows that about 20% of prime country homes are bought by footballers.

If you have been under the impression that the only property that football is concerned with is its pitch, think again or question an estate agent in places like Cheshire or Surrey.

Country Life, a rural set magazine, annually analyses prime country homes that are sold for more than 2m. But the point to notice is that 40% of such properties are bought by entrepreneurs, 20% by people employed in the service sector and 20% to professional footballers.

The top end of the Cheshire property market is dominated by players from Manchester United, liverpool, Everton, Blackburn and Manchester City. A Real Estate Consultancy firm working on a confidential document for FA claims that footballers spend an approximate 85m a year on homes in Britain.

All this results in the growth of small industry of buying agents and support companies. There are also developers, which specialise in building footballers homes. The Allos group, headed by an Iraqi developer Mayod Allos, has constructed houses for Jamie Redknapp, Graeme Le Saux and Ian Walker; plus is currently working on three current Chelsea players.

Even footballers holiday homes generate work within the property industry.

Speed up Metabolism

Metabolism is essentially the speed at which our body's motor is running. The speed at which our body burns calories is called the metabolic rate. It's how fast your "motor" is running when you're still in a reclined position or sleeping. about 60-75% of energy is expended by the body at rest in such activities.

The metabolism is based on the number of calories we burn throughout the day. Our body constantly burns calories to keep us going whether we are eating, sleeping, cleaning etc. People with a lower percentage of body fat (i.e. muscular) have a higher metabolism than others that are less muscular because muscle uses more calories to maintain itself than fat. Some people have a slower metabolic rate and have a harder time staying slim. Younger persons have higher (faster) metabolism because of the increased activity of cells. A slow metabolism actually causes to store fat. The slower the metabolic rate, the greater the weight gains. How to build muscles to improve metabolism?
