Humans have always prepared their own food up until recent times. This has been one of the most important things that have developed the huge brains that we have today. Today, we have virtually everything you could ever want to eat at our finger tips. We can order things from apps, and not even have to open the door to eat. This is not necessary bad, it has its place to try new things and connivence. The issue may be...
What is Juicing? Juicing is the process of blending vegetables and fruit together in a way that removes the pulp. When you do this, it's much easier to digest. Everything we eat has to get turned into liquid, but juicing is already in that form. Food can take 3.5 hours to digest or longer, while juicing can take 15 minutes. A smoothie does not remove the pulp, and has to go through the whole digestive process. Both of them are great. Benefits...
What is Fasting? Fasting has some remarkable benefits. Today, many of us are over eating. I'm not just talking the amount of calories, but the amount of times we are eating throughout the day. We are not giving our digestive system any type of break. Fasting, in addition to giving your digestive system a break, can assist in a process called autophagy. Autophagy is a process that goes around and cleans up cellular debris It's a process of clearing the body...
There are two stages of sleep. We have REM sleep and non REM sleep. REM sleep is classified as dream sleep, this is also where memory processing takes place. Non REM sleep is classified as deep sleep. The first half of the night, we start out in NREM sleep, then transition over into REM sleep. The second half of the night we start in REM sleep, then transition over into NREM sleep. Benefits of Sleep Cardio Vascular- Sleep is critical for heart health,...
There is a plethora of nutrition that we can get from our oceans and even lakes. So many types of sea vegetables, algae, and fish eggs. Often times, people don't take advantage of it because they may be unaware. Today, I will go over importance of sea nutrition, key nutrients, and how to implement it. Seaweed (sea vegetables) Sea vegetables have been used for eons by humans in different cultures, and for good reason. People in Japan have been documented to use...
What is the Microbiome? The microbiome is the community of bacteria that live on us and in us. We are also made of viruses and fungus. Science shows that we are 4-10x more bacteria cells than we are human cells. The bacteria, or probiotics create something called postbiotics. These are beneficial molecules that they make for us. For example, serotonin is a neurotransmitter that is responsible for good mood and happiness. Even know this is for the brain, 90% of it...
What is Vegetable Oil? Vegetable oil is really a marketing term, none of them are actually oils from a vegetable. The oils are corn, canola, cottonseed, soybean, safflower, and sunflower. Also, grape seed and oat bran oil are sometimes used. These are actually seed oils. Eating the foods themselves is fine, but when we make a highly industrialized seed oil from them, it's another story. These oils contain a substantial amount of polyunsaturated fat, which makes it very susceptible to oxidation...
Sound medicine has been around for thousands of years. it's exactly as it sounds, using sound to heal the mind and body. We have.a structure in all of our cells called primary cilia. These cells pick up frequency in the surrounding environment. These cells vibrate when they pick up sound, and influence the cell itself. Changing the structure of the cells is going to change the organ for better, or worse. There are audible and inaudible sounds. Think of audible...
What is Regenerative Agriculture? Regenerative agriculture is the process of restoring the environment through agriculture. The soil has the ability to store green house gases and fight climate change. The problem is that the soil has been destroyed through our current practices. So much so that data shows we on have about 60 harvests left if we do nothing. With the soil being decimated, the green houses gasses go up because there is not as much to sequester carbon. Tilling and Mono...
Unconventional training is the concept of using off-load gear for full body adaptation. For example, the equipment in the gym is very linear and everything is evenly weighted. This is much easier to work with, but you only work muscles in a certain capacity. This has its place, but with unconventional training your body constantly has to adapt to the load and mimics real life much more. This type of training is great for muscle imbalances because of adaptability. You...
