Nashville's Premier Personal Fitness Training Center
Not to toot the horn of my profession but studies upon studies demonstrate the benefits of exercise along a wide spectrum of human existence. From arthritis to diabetes to heart disease to cancer, and back again, exercise may be the single, best, cheapest, most convenient, least side-effected ‘drug’ medicine has recently discovered. For those ofRead More
Of course, you’d expect a fitness specialist, a personal trainer, and an exercise scientist to promote the regularity and consistency of exercise and fitness practices for overall health and well-being. Of course, that’s what I do all day. But sometimes the research is just so damn compelling that not sharing it would be like withholdingRead More
April 2016 Can Creatine Supplementation Boost Bone, Too? What if you could get bigger, stronger, more powerful muscles by adding a supplement to your diet that would also increase bone density? Wouldn’t it be worth a few cents a day? A Canadian study tested whether or not, based on the possibility that creatine supplementation, shownRead More
Since the Paleo diet became such a fad, courtesy of CrossFit and other high-protein promoters, science has struggled to address the ratio issue in our diets: that is, whereas once high carbs were promoted for athletes, now suddenly high protein and high fat diets which limit carbs were showing success not just in athletic performanceRead More
Here’s a quick lesson in statistics: correlation is not causation but causation is correlation. That means, something can be related even modestly – like grass grows better when it rains – but not have much effect on causation – like rain does not cause grass to grow. Now you might be right to say, “Well,Read More
Pretty damning headline, eh? Seems the evidence, as composited by a diet and nutrition task force in the US and now this study, is demonstrating that Subway-style processed meats, even if not served in high calorie dishes/sandwiches, can be damaging to the heart. This study even suggests it can lead to deadlier forms of heartRead More
Heart disease is still the number one killer of modern, industrialized nations’ people. And many studies have shown the foundation for heart health is established early in childhood, both by the habits and patterns we create as a society or family as well as by those we don’t create – such as a lifestyle ofRead More
It came out last year or so that eating cholesterol-rich foods ain’t as bad as they once thought. Now this says an egg a day won’t kill you…but the bacon, well, they just don’t know yet: http://www.healthcanal.com/blood-heart-circulation/heart-disease/70334-high-cholesterol-diet-eating-eggs-do-not-increase-risk-of-heart-attack-not-even-in-persons-genetically-predisposed.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+healthnewshc%2FOxfp+%28Health+News+from+HealthCanal.com%29
How is it possible for one food item – in particular, nut oils – to virtually do what so many drugs portend to do? How can nuts do so much for so little without so much as a side effect other than, oh, say, a little more healthfulness without pharmaceuticals. It would be great ifRead More
There has been much written over the past five decades on the benefits of exercise to counter the effects of modern, industrial Western society. But only in the past decade or so has much attention been spent looking at the detriments of this modern life we live. That is, the science of sedentariness is onlyRead More
