Get Some Friends…Live Longer That’s the claim by researchers at Bringham Young University and UNC. A decent social life may actually be as good for you as not smoking cigarettes. How’s that for life wellness?
Omega 6 “Timebomb” The idea: get a better ratio of Omega 6 Fatty Acids to Omega 3. Do this: Eat vegetables, lean grass-fed meat, and fish oil…and ditch the grains. Don’t do it…and your kids will be born fat and insulin resistant. Enough said.
Build Your Own Protein Bar! The website youbars.com builds a bar for you based on your specifications, using a wide selection of great ingredients — then you get to pay through the nose to get them. It’s a good idea if you have the cash, otherwise try making your own at home. (Shout to Mark’s Daily Apple for the heads-up on youbars.com)
Recipe of the Week: Stir-Fry! This week’s recipe comes by way of Whole 9. Very simple (which we like…Screw you, Emeril!) Lots of ingredient flexibility (which we also like.)
Exercise of the Week: Deadlift. This, in my opinion, is the king of all exercises. It works most of the major muscle groups in one shot, but it’s something you don’t see done all that often these days. Shame, because it’s a real overall strength and fitness builder. Start with light weights and pay particular attention to correct form.
Enjoy the weekend!
