10 foods to eat almost EVERY day

February 8, 2010
1.  Beans or legumes
You get 3 bangs for your buck. Beans provide a slow burning carb, dietary fiber, protein. 

 2. Berries, Grapes, Apples, Pears, Oranges
 The darker the fruit the more the nutrients. Keep some fruits in your freezer for snacks or cereal. 
Fruits all have certain area they help a little more in regardless experiment with fruit because a piece of fruit could
help your immune system, inhibit tumor growth.. natures probiotic. 

3. Broccoli / Spinach
 -sharper eye sight, sexual enhancement, stronger bones. 
a huge amount of omega-3s and folate. 

4. Lean protein (eggs, chicken, fish, beef)
This one should be obvious. Protein is brain food and helps keep muscles strong and promotes weight/ fat loss. 

5. Oatmeal
healthy heart food, good enough for me. Oatmeal is a great way to get some grains and heart food in if you're like 99% of the population and don't have time to whip up a big fancy breakfast. 

6. Olive oil/ Avocado
both of these are monounsaturated fats, helping reduce heart disease (leading killer of canadians) colon cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis. 

7. Probiotic yogurt, low fat cheese, fat free milk. 
calcium carbs yum yum.. these products are great for fighting bacteria and boosting a healthy gut. 

8. Tomatoes/ Red or Yellow Peppers. 
 These delicious veggies are great for ridding off prostate cancer, heart disease, strokes,  gastric and pancreatic cancers. 

9. Nuts or Peanut Butter
Nuts are heart candy, in moderation of course. Nuts are a great source of muscle protein, filing fibers, and heart healthy fats, 

10. Whole Grain Bread or Pasta
The brain is a furnace that constantly requires fuel (in the form of glucose) in order to perform. You can improve your memory and concentration by helping keep a natural flow of glucose and vitamin b from food like, whole grain rice, pasta, bread etc. 

In good health,

Kettlehells

February 2, 2010


 Why do kettlebells produce results?  Because of the way you use them.  You don't "workout" or "train" with a kettlebell, you practice.  It's like practicing the piano - you try to improve your performance by refining your technique, learning when to work hard and when to relax - you don't just "go through the motions."  These concepts can and should be applied to all exercise but it's easy to be mindless when you're on a treadmill or exercise bicycle or swinging lightweight dumbells or pushi...
