Bad Sleep Linked to Alzheimer's - ABC News

This is interesting. You need rest especially when you are training and pushing your body. This just proves how important rest really is to keeping you healthy. I always recommend at least eight hours of sleep and maybe even a nap with that amount of sleep. Another good thing to do is to take a supplement like ZMA. You can look it up and find it in the blog. It helps you sleep and recover naturally. Melatonin is also good to help reset your sleep schedule if you travel. you take it 30 min before bed and it will reset your sleeping habits to help kill jet lag and things like that. Anyway enough ranting check out the article. Bad Sleep Linked to Alzheimer's - ABC News

Do your cardio outside added benifit!!!

I know we live in a technological society that is all about machines, Technology and gadgets but sometimes older is better. For instance if you run out side vs. running on a treadmill it is harder. Do you know why? The reason is because you are moving %100 of you weight with your muscles. If you use a treadmill the ground is moving under your feet which is helping you to move forward. I am not saying to abandon your cardio(aerobic exercise) if you like to use machines. All I am saying is that change is good and you will get a better workout by running outside at least every once and a while. Plus you get all the other benefits of running outside like the sun and fresh air. So I would encourage everyone to get outside and take advantage. Get the most out of your aerobic exercise.

Diet pills can kill. You won't have to worry about your weight if you are dead!!!

There are pills for everything and most of them will kill you or permanently mess you up while delivering the "desired" effect. Now they are saying some drug called mediator killed 1,300 people in Europe. If people would just start being more active and incorporate an exercise plan into there life combined with a good whole food based diet they would not have to worry.

Be like the oldest thing on earth Eat and live and train for a long good life!!

The news has recently announced that the oldest living thing in the world is a patch of seaweed of the Mediterranean sea. Check it out. That seaweed has one big good thing going for it. It is 10 miles long by the way. It follows the K.I.S.S method.Not the big hair band but it keeps it simple stupid! That's what would help so many people in their day to day life if they could just keep it simple. It makes things so much easier and reduces stress. If you just stop for a minute and think about things before you act you will notice this to. I don't plan on being 200,000 years old but I will say this again. Sometimes simple is truly best.
