Funny how there seems to be an inverse relationshi Funny how there seems to be an inverse relationship between number of ingredients and number of benefits here! Long ago, we were told not to eat butter and that a highly-processed, factory-made, inflammatory non-food was better for us than an animal-sourced fat that humans have been consuming for THOUSANDS of years. Butter is a fantastic source of vitamins A and K and conjugated linoleic acid, which plays a role in preventing cancer. Butter has fantastic health benefits, whereas margarine does not (and actually causes inflammation thanks to the seed oils used and additives). The small amounts of added synthetic vitamins A and D3 don’t benefit us much and beta carotene is just for color. 😅 Don’t fear the fat when it’s high quality and animal-based! Eat the butter, pass on the margarine.🧈 #healthyeating #longevity #diettips

Benefits of walking backwards (a.k.a. retro walkin Benefits of walking backwards (a.k.a. retro walking): 🧠Improve cognitive function and mental clarity. You are building new neural pathways by training your brain in a new way. We’re used to walking forward. Walking backwards helps your brain focus on another way of movement and involves more work mentally. 🚶🏻‍♂️Improves lower back pain by working and strengthening the muscles around the lower spine and glutes. 👣Improves balance and coordination, posture, and recruits the muscles of your core. 🦵Helps with osteoarthritis in the knees by strengthening the muscles above the kneecap taking pressure off of the knees. Many people find they can walk backwards and not feel pain whereas walking forwards hurts. Walking backwards forces you to place your knees over your toes thereby strengthening the muscles around the knee. Anytime we go up steps, down steps, stand up from a sitting position, or even when we get out of the car, our knees go over our toes. By strengthening these muscles we improve our ability to do these many daily activities. 🥩Speeds up your metabolism because the body has to work harder when walking backwards. 🫀By utilizing different muscles, you increase the blood flow to different muscles thereby giving you more energy as you use your body in a different way. Start incorporating this type of movement into your walks. Start slow, on a paved, flat surface and be sure to deliberately step back with the ball of your foot, followed by the heel. If people give you strange looks while you walk backward, just yell out this caption to them! 😉
Your high carb diet might be making you LOOK and F Your high carb diet might be making you LOOK and FEEL older than you really are. Humans were never meant to be eating as many carbohydrates, especially the simple and processed carbohydrates, that we are today. The typical American’s physical activity level is far too low to justify the amount of carbs he or she consumed on a regular basis. This can wreak havoc on our bodies and age us faster: “Sustained high levels of sugars in the blood ultimately cause proteins to stick together thereby damaging the function of the proteins. For example, excess blood sugar is more likely to react with proteins such as collagen in the skin which can lead to brown splotches or "age spots" as well as loss of elasticity and premature wrinkling. These sugar-damaged, very dangerous cross-linked proteins are called advanced glycation end products, or AGE!” “If excess blood sugar damages proteins in the lens of the eye, cataracts and eventual blindness can result. �If collagen in the arteries suffers damage from the protein/sugar complex called AGE, fatty plaques are more likely to form. �Similarly, if the collagen in our connective tissues becomes cross-linked as a result of AGE, arthritis could occur. �The process of glycation (sugar damaged proteins) has even been linked as a "likely culprit" in the destruction of nerve cells in the brain that can eventually lead to Alzheimer’s and other neuro-degenerative diseases. �Furthermore, glycation accelerates the formation of damaging free radical molecules which can accelerate aging and increase risk of disease.” Article: https://www.diabetesincontrol.com/high-blood-sugar-linked-to-aging-and-disease/

Are you setting goals but not achieving them? As Are you setting goals but not achieving them? Ask yourself: are you driven by your commitments or by what’s convenient? When you’re committed, you make the time, and make the effort, and you do what’s needed to stick to your plan. When you’re focused on convenience, you’ll stop when it’s hard, you won’t make the time, and you’ll make excuses. Committed does not get swayed by convenience. #goalsetting #achievinggoals #makingchange
Add challenge to your exercise routine by incorpor Add challenge to your exercise routine by incorporating sliders. Don’t have “official” sliders? You can easily use furniture sliders or even just a pair of socks. You can add even more challenge by using a @hyperwear sandbell. The extra weight creates more resistance and challenges the muscles more. If you’re in the Omaha area, buy your sandbell locally at @bodybasicsomaha. If you’re not in our area, you can get them on Amazon (link to product in our profile bio). As always, wearing my @vuoriclothing. 😉 #exercisetips #healthcoach #homeworkout #personaltrainer

It’s cold out! Not just cool. Cold! 🥶 … but It’s cold out! Not just cool. Cold! 🥶 … but Nash is raring to go! And as I try to keep up with his excitement and energy for the cold, I’m reminding myself of the benefits of cold thermogenesis. It actually was pretty awesome and invigorating out. It’s helpful to remind myself this is so good for me in so many ways and that gets me going, too! Watch for our post later this week on why you shouldn’t stay out of the cold but you should actually embrace it fully… and how there are some really awesome and cool (sorry, couldn’t resist lol) benefits to being cold!

“Not a low calorie food” - isn’t that a stra “Not a low calorie food” - isn’t that a strange statement to be placing on food products? Calories matter, but not nearly as much as the nutritional value and satiety factor of the food in question. This mini beef stick has no weird fillers or additives and offers 4g of quality protein and 3g of fat. Eating a few of these little 40 calorie beef sticks will do a much better job of helping me feel full (and provide far more nutrients) than one of those 100 calorie packs of crackers. Don’t aim for low calorie foods. Aim for whole foods and packaged foods with minimal, clean ingredients. Prioritize protein and fat and never eat a naked carb. You’ll be amazed by how your sugar cravings disappear and how good you’ll feel! #healthgoals #nutritiontips #healthcoach
