Powerful Words: The Iron

Wednesday, November 17, 2010

“The Iron never lies to you. You can walk outside and listen to all kinds of talk, get told that you’re a god or a total bastard. The Iron will always kick you the real deal. The Iron is the great reference point, the all-knowing perspective giver. Always there like a beacon in the pitch black. I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds.” – Henry Rollins  Read More

They Died, That We Might Live

Thursday, November 11, 2010

Back in September, on the first day of school, Martha Cothren, a social studies school teacher at Robinson High School, did something not to be forgotten. On the first day of school, with the permission of the school superintendent, the principal and the building supervisor, she removed all of the desks out of her classroom. When the first period kids entered the room they discovered that there were no desks. ‘Ms.. Cothren, where’re our desks?’ She replied, ‘You can’t have a desk until you tell me how you earn the right to sit at a desk.’ They thought, ‘Well,...

5 Nutrition Tips for Healthy Aging

Tuesday, November 9, 2010

As each decade passes, our bodies begin to work a little differently and somewhat less efficiently.  Because of this, we need to focus on ways to minimize body breakdown, inhibit inflammation, decrease cellular damage, detoxify, and expedite repair. Here are five tips on how to do this: 1. Chew your food thoroughly This simple act breaks down food better which relieves other organs of extra work, and initiates digestive processes further down. The result is better nutrient release and assimilation with less gas and bloating. Simple, cheap, effective, and great for getting and staying lean. 2....

5 Ways Pets Can Improve Your Health

Monday, November 8, 2010

A pet is certainly a great friend. After a difficult day, pet owners quite literally feel the love. In fact, for nearly 25 years, research has shown that living with pets provides certain health benefits. Pets help lower blood pressure and lessen anxiety. They boost our immunity. They can even help you get dates. Allergy Fighters “The old thinking was that if your family had a pet, the children were more likely to become allergic to the pet. And if you came from an allergy-prone family, pets should be avoided,” says researcher James E. Gern, MD, a pediatrician at the University of...

Powerful Words: Henry Rollins

Friday, November 5, 2010

“Through the years, I have combined meditation, action, and the Iron into a single strength. I believe that when the body is strong, the mind thinks strong thoughts. Time spent away from the Iron makes my mind degenerate. I wallow in a thick depression. My body shuts down my mind. The Iron is the best antidepressant I have ever found. There is no better way to fight weakness than with strength. Once the mind and body have been awakened to their true potential, it’s impossible to turn back.” – Henry Rollins  Read More

Tip: Squats and the exercise equation

Monday, March 30, 2009

Do you know how much you can squat for 6 reps? I do. I can Squat 335lbs. Do I know this to impress my friends? Hell no, I know this because squats can help predict your strength on other exercises. Squats are a measure of quadriceps strength, which helps determine your 6-rep max on the deadlift, stepup, and lunge, says William Ebben, Ph. D., of Marquette University. Use the equations below to estimate your lower-body strength. Deadlift (lb you squat x 0.83) + 32.8lb Mine: (335 x 0.83) + 32.8 = 310.9lbs Barbell Stepup (lb you squat x 0.50) + 7.3lb Mine: (335 x 0.50) + 7.3 = 174.8lbs Barbell Lunge (lb...

Power Food: Nori

Wednesday, March 25, 2009

Best known as the dark outer wrapping on sushi rolls, this sea algae is particularly high in fiber, calcium, iron, and zinc. “It’s also rich in lignans, which recent studies have shown to help prevent tumor growth,” says Susan Kleiner, PhD, author of The Good Mood Diet. Look for it in the international section of your local supermarket or online at edenfoods.com.
