![]() Still, it emphasizes that tracking carbohydrate intake is very important if you think that insulin and blood sugar have to do with obesity, weight gain, and fat mass. Now, this theory is not without its critics, as indicated by a counterpoint article published by Kevin Hall and other researchers at the National Institute of Diabetes and Columbia University ( 2 ). ![]() According to this theory, hunger and overeating aren’t the cause of obesity-they’re a symptom. This vicious cycle, according to researchers like Ludwig, explains many facets of obesity in a new light. The result is that, a few hours after a carbohydrate-rich meal (especially if it’s mostly refined carbs), blood sugar crashes, body fat increases, and you get hungry again. This theory states that excessive carbohydrate consumption causes a spike in insulin, which in turn causes your body to pull blood sugar out of the blood and store it as fat. Not all carbs are created equal, but emerging research suggests that refined carbohydrates (like white flour or white rice) behave a lot like sugars when it comes to determining your body’s response, so lumping them into the same category is starting to make more sense.Īccording to the “carbohydrate-insulin model of obesity”, advocated by researchers like David Ludwig at the New Balance Foundation Obesity Prevention Center at Boston Children’s Hospital, carbohydrates are at the heart of fat gain ( 1). We’ll take a quick look at each of these macros first, then dive in to how to use our macro calculator to achieve your health goals, whether those are weight loss, weight gain, or simply maintenance of your weight while ensuring long term health.Ĭarbohydrates, or carbs for short, are the macros you’ll get in bread, pasta, fruit, vegetables, and other starchy or sugary foods. Tracking your macros, and not just your overall caloric intake, is important because each macro has different effects on your body. ![]() The specifications of your diet are going to dictate your macro ratio, as different weight loss programs are going to call for different ratios of fats, carbs, and proteins.

The NSAID’s and medications prescribed tend to exacerbate these GI issues. Approximately 70% of people who suffer from inflamed joints (OA & RA) tend to have a higher percentage of GI issues.

NSAID’s (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories) whether prescribed or over the counter are considered so common today because they can help relieve pain, but unfortunately we tend to neglect their high degrees of association with cardiovascular and gastrointestinal risks.Ĭhronic inflammation and decreased immunity play a significant role in the health of the GI tract.

This week we will look at this specific antioxidant, its anti-inflammatory properties, and its immune boosting benefits. I wrote in my last post how boosting the immune system can help reduce chronic inflammation. Anthocyanins block inflammation as effectively as NSAID’s like Ibuprofen, Naproxen, or Aspirin. Berries contain similar antioxidants, but the most concentrated form of anthocyanins are in tart cherries. In the last decade they have become more researched for their medicinal and pharmacological uses as health benefits in the West.Īnthocyanins are powerful antioxidants that help boost the immune system. ![]() Herbal medicine doctors have been incorporating them into herbal remedies for centuries.

Whoever owns a Porsche with the color code 376 or LM5V today, can call him- or herself a member of an exclusive club. Petrol Blue is a relatively dark metallic blue with a small glimmer of green. Ironically, Petrol Blue came up in the exact same time as the second oil crisis in 1979. The 1970’s were a pretty colorful decade, but white, grey and black took over more and more market shares. Aga Blue has the color code 6608 and perfectly represents the spirit of the time. It harmonizes particularly well with the addition of chrome trim, yellow indicators and especially red interior materials. In the late 60’s, darker colors like bottle-green became more popular again.

It was frustrating at times but necessary in order to reach a level of highly consistent shooting at high speed. As time went on, I added a lot of variations. Again, I worked through the targets, using imagery to guide the shooting until I was 100 percent successful. Then I added time limits, slowly decreasing the amount of time I gave myself to accomplish a series of shots. I repeated this basic set until I was satisfied I was able to control my mental and physical processes on a conscious level and could absolutely guarantee the shot. I started out standing still, with no time limits, just allowing the shot to be fired without rushing it. I took a variety of TPC targets and put them up. Reprogramming the mind and slowing down while recalibrating is a difficult but necessary step in fixing the problems. Once I perceived what I was doing wrong, I did a strong analysis about where the skill was breaking down and started mentally imaging what needed to change from what I was currently doing. This is the result of the brain perceiving what is about to happen and developing compensation responses to it. If you pay attention as you “turn up the wick” you will find yourself doing all sorts of things you did not intend to do. When there are strict time limits imposed or the targets become smaller and the shooting platform is less than ideal, then you have an opportunity to see what you are made of. Almost anybody can shoot well if they are given time to shoot. Much like putting oneself under pressure in order to build gunfight skill, one must put themselves under pressure when doing training for accuracy, too. But if one wishes to reach the higher levels of skill at arms, then it is a necessary mental attribute to develop. Being able to control the mind and hold still while manipulating the trigger at high speed is one of the most difficult things to do under pressure. The only way they co-exist is when there is an intermediary functioning. In fact, they are constantly fighting with each other for control of your shooting. Instead, I went back to some basic programming drills and exercises and created a strong mental image of what I needed to do to bring my skills up to where they needed to be.Īccuracy and speed are not friends. So in the final phase of training, I didn’t speed up. I constantly found myself pulling the gun down too soon and pushing the shot from time to time. Then I realized that I was not able to simply hold still and let the shot break. There were a few inches of drift, sometimes more, or a misalignment of the gun in the first shot as I trained even faster. In my quest for speed, I was neglecting accuracy. While preparing for major competitions, I perceived that I had a definite problem with getting my shooting cycle out of sequence. ![]() ![]() Simply put, you find yourself doing other things besides seeing what you need to see and isolating the trigger properly. Then, if you pay close attention, you notice a failure to maintain a skill set at a very precise level when operating at the top end of your performance zone.
