The earth revolves around the sun. It’s a true fact, and no conspiracy.
Even with such enlightenment, it’s nice to be reminded of why people once thought the opposite — that the universe revolves around the earth — This kind of information I love because it's the best reminder of just how far we’ve come.
Without even realizing we're all guilty of following trends in some way, shape or form! Information these days are so misleading & so far from the truth it's scary to think how many of us think we're doing good when in fact it's all just a scam to gain higher profits.
New studies are done every day to find out the reasons WHY!
Believe nothing... Confirm Everything!!!
Has anyone ever told you to never let your knees go over your toes in a squat? Studies have now proven that the correct movement is for your knees to naturally go forward over your toes in ANY squatting exercise. It's a natural movement... Try sitting on a chair, picking something up off the floor, walking, going to the toilet etc try doing these movements without your knees going over you toes. It's how the body works to prevent injury & too much pressure on the lower back. (Watch children they are the best example setters of this movement)
Has anyone ever said eating Low GI foods are good for you? Well they're right however have they explained how to know whether a product is Low GI? Fancy labeling on products sold in our leading super market chains are the worst for misleading parents into buying these FAKE Low GI products. To be labeled with a "Low GI" sticker the manufacturer must show that the product can hold a consistent Low GI level for 15mins, whether it shoots straight up after the 15mins it still passes the test. So how do these companies achieve this? They combine the food with other Macro Nutrients (Good Fats & Protein) thus changing the GI rating significantly. These additives delay the level at which it is digested & absorbed, so after that 15mins it will then result in marked fluctuations in blood sugar levels. So check the products ingredients list which will be in order as to most to least so that you can make a smarter decision.
"What comes up must come down"
A simple one is the 97%, 98% or 99% fat free products, basically what has happened here is the fat has been replaced by more Sugar!! Don't do it...
Another one is "Oil" Olive Oil is a great "good fat" to have in your daily diet however once this product reaches over 90'Degrees it then is converted into a Trans fat, so therefore Olive oil isn't good if used in a heated cooking process. Coconut Oil is a saturated fat & not beneficial for the body, the best Oil i love to use in all my cooking is Macadamia Nut oil which is your Omega-6 & then take Fish oil (Omega -3) capsules. Having enough good essential fatty acids in your body will aid in protecting every cell in your body, ensuring fat regulation & energy distribution (which aids in weigh loss) & reducing the intensity of PMS symptoms.
These are just some little tips to help make better decisions, it's good to confirm everything before you believe it, just because its tradition to train one way or everyone has always said this is better for me doesn't actually mean its still the case today. The world is changing dramatically & we need to keep up with it!!
