The perpetuation of myths and failed theories in the fitness and health industry exists today, for reasons that people theorize endlessly, and one example of this surrounds the demonization of intermittent fasting and fasted workouts.  Thankfully, it’s those endless theories that tend to reinforce each other and only produce research in a certain way on certain methods with certain results, that galvanize motivated researchers [who tend to adhere to a Paleo  Diet] to extensively cover niche areas, like intermittent fasted training. Fasting, or abstaining from food and/or caloric intake for a specified amount of time, stimulates the fight or flight system in the human body, allowing for the release of adrenaline and noradrenaline, increasing energy and focus. Activating the Sympathetic (fight or flight) Nervous System is a road to special type of focus and useful drive, as long as it’s not done in excess artificially.  [Dr. Mercola , explains intermittent fasting in a unique way that really reaches through to all audiences, nutritional knowledge or not]   Moving on from abstaining from food, eating results in an insulin surge (the bodies storage hormone) that activates the Parasympathetic Nervous system, which stimulates digestion and generally relaxes the body. The parasympathetic nervous system is “cooperatively [...]

Is Congressman Ron Paul’s legacy the Audit the Fed Bill? Will the Texas Congressman and Presidential candidate serve his last portion of service in the House, leaving behind the legacy of Auditing the Federal Reserve and sparking the return to Sound Money?   H.R. 459,The Audit the Fed Bill, has now reached 214 Cosponsors in the House of Representatives, only 4 representatives away from a HOUSE MAJORITY, and 21 months away from the 100th anniversary of the Federal Reserve, on which, Dr. Paul has said, should be the day of the introduction of the Repeal The Federal Reserve Act.   The Last and only audit of the Federal Reserve System was a partial audit, and it revealed 16 TRILLION dollars in secret and Unconstitutional loans to corporations, foreign banks, domestic banks, and foreign governments between December 2007 and June 2010. This has been the only audit of any kind of the Federal Reserve, and it was partial.  [Financial Services Hearing, Feb. 29, 2012, Ron Paul questions Ben Bernenke, chairman of the Federal Reserve ]   There is no authority in the Constitution of the United States for the Government to have a federal reserve system or central bank. In-fact, within the Constitution, it actually says: “No State [...]

Legalize Raw Milk and End the FDA

Two California residents and Legalize Raw Milk (and hopefully now END THE FDA) enthusiasts have been given a combination of 3 million dollars in bail, over 38 felony counts, and one thrown in jail and tortured for over a week, all for allegedly selling raw milk.  James Stewart, the California resident who was thrown in jail illegally for a week, was tagged with a red band (reminds me of another disgusting identification system circa World War 2), was asked and accused of being a sovereign (a group deemed dangerous), despite never using the words. He was not told what his charges were and underwent what James phrased as, “mental and physical torture”. “The most basic principle to being a free American is the notion that we as individuals are responsible for our own lives and decisions. We do not have the right to rob our neighbors to make up for our mistakes, neither does our neighbor have any right to tell us how to live, so long as we aren’t infringing on their rights. Freedom to make bad decisions is inherent in the freedom to make good ones. If we are only free to make good decisions, we are not really [...]

Intermittent Fasting and Weight Loss Related to Brain Health?

Once unknowns in nutritional science  are becoming known as Baltimore Researchers out of the National Institute on Ageing announced there could be links between intermittent fasting and improvements in brain health.    Researchers noted that there could be a growth of neurons in the brain during fasting. Dr. Mattson of the John Hopkins University of Medicine at Baltimore noted that there was an increase in two chemical messengers within the brain, and that the cells of the brain being put under mild stress was largely contributory to the increase in cognition. Isn’t it great that our biology naturally opens up the opportunity to perform better under periods of high-stress? One of the most interesting parts of the discussion on the research was the evolutionary explanation by Dr. Mattson for why an intermittent fasting diet for weight loss could be linked to improvements brain health: “When resources became scarce, our ancestors would have had to scrounge for food”. “Those whose brains responded best – who remembered where promising sources could be found or recalled how to avoid predators — would have been the ones who got the food. Thus a mechanism linking periods of starvation to neural growth would have evolved.” [Source] Makes sense, we [...]
