BlueBerries

Good evening fitness friends. How was your weekend? I hope it was spent doing the thing you love to do with those you love. Now as for me, I was keeping myself  busy cleaning my apartment, but I did have time to get in two good workouts, but after I was done and back home preparing my green protein smoothie. I notice I was missing one crucial ingredient. I’m sure by reading the post title you already know which one.

Blueberries!! This powerful antioxidant was highly sorted after by the Native Americans, who believed Blueberries had magical powers sent down from the gods and renamed Starberries. The magic berries was use during times of famine to feed the children. And Blueberry juice became an important drink for civil war soldiers to protect them from scurvy.

Blueberries or Wildberries are rich in phytochemicals, like anthocyanins. Which creates the pigment that makes blue berries blue, and ellagic acid a natural compound that may inhibit tumor growth.  Read more...

BodyBuilding with the pro’s

Hey Fitness friends, I’ve been kinda lazy with my training so far this month. So today I decided to google bodybuilding videos and see what came up. Needless to say google returned thousands of video, but the one that stood out was a 4 minute video, that included all the greats, past and present. The Arnold voice over really had me hype up and running to the gym.

My Grocery list revealed

My grocery list has change through the years of my training. I went from eating and drinking everything. The way I figured, as long as I hit the gym it didn’t much matter, I’m talking all the goodies, big macs, bacon double whopper with cheese, a pint of ice cream with chocolate chips, potato chips with dip and a cold six pack of beer. That was a regular week for me.

That was then and this is now. I’m now almost 100% vegetarian, except for egg whites and salmon. I gave up all the red meat , dairy, pork, and my beloved chicken. This transition is still new for me, but I feel alot stronger and more energy then before. and to think I use to look at vegetarians like a bunch of weak weirdos, now my friends think I’m crazy for giving up all that good tasty(artery clogging)food.

You know, sprinkle some water on a sheep statue and watch it grow overnight into a little green furry plant. Well I found out that those little seeds are more magical then just quick plant growth.

Chia has been in use for at least 3,000 years. Located in central America it was a favorite of the Aztec warriors, who would consume the seeds right before battle or a long run for its endurance capabilities. Chia is the richest and only unprocessed whole food source of Omega 3. I also found out that it is a complete protein with a soluble fiber that forms a gel that slows sugar absorption in your blood stream. Chia aids in digesting by removing toxin and eliminating waste.  Read more...
