Are you bored with your workouts? Burned out on doing the same stuff? Making excuses not to workout because you are “too busy” or traveling and don’t have access to a gym? Well try this out then, make every day a 100 rep challenge day. 100 reps of what? Anything you want. Pick a new exercise everyday. It can be with bodyweight only….or use weights if you have access to them. It could be a quick 15 min workout in the morning to just start your day or you could spread …
Now I normally don’t get caught up in the likes of Hollywood, who they are dating, what they are wearing, etc…..as I really don’t care. But I came across an interesting show this weekend and it peaked my interest. It was called the “15 Best and Worst Hollywood Beach Bodies” or something like that. What interested me was seeing who kept themselves in great shape, how they did it….and on the reverse side who let themselves go and what happened. As for the “best beach bodies” ones the usual crowd was …

But really…it’s quite simple to just take control, and that is what we need to do (as we do have full control and responsibility for everything we put in our mouths). Looking at …
A few people have commented about increased “anxiety” during Intermittent Fasting, so I thought I would share this discussion I had with someone about anxiety. As much as IF have brought people a more stress free life (along with all the other numerous health benefits) when it comes to eating, with others it also may amplify some underlying issues there are that need to be addressed (especially if one does IF too much too soon). It comes down to still keeping the “Intermittent” part in IF, and making it work …
Ok a while back we talked about the longevity genes associated with the CR and IF studies as being Sirt1 gene expression (see the Longevity Gene post here). So now we come across a compound from grapes that may be able to express the longevity gene without needing CR or IF, this compound known as Resveratrol. But is it really all it is claimed to be….let’s look into it:
Red Wine Ingredient — Resveratrol — Fights Diabetes In Mice
