Drink This

All of us have come to that point in a race where we turn to the aid stations for fluids.  I’d say 99% of the time it’s Gatorade.  You do a silent prayer that the person who mixed it followed the directions.  If not you either get a syrup that makes your head spin or [...]

From Precision Nutrition … “Food: Where We ALL Go Wrong”

Reposted from Precision Nutrition … something we all need reminding of, particularly at this time of year!

Food: Where We ALL Go Wrong

by Ryan Andrews, December 15th, 2009.

9 Things to “Choke” Down

1. Sardines
Turn offs: Strong fishy taste. Tiny bones. Can be packed in tomato sauce. Reputation as a frugality food.
Turn ons: High in vitamin D and loaded with omega-3 fatty acids, which protect your heart and brain. Lots of protein, calcium and selenium. Low on the marine food chain so toxins such as like mercury don’t [...]

A Great Summer Recipe

For those of us in the northern hemisphere, June to October-ish is THE season for fresh food. If you can grow it yourself, great. But even if you can’t, farm markets are everywhere at this time of year …100-mile diet and all that. Summer food at my home means simple, fast [...]

Use 5-10 cubes for thicker, pudding-like consistency shake

Step 2: Pick A Fruit

Healthy Foods for Less Than A Buck!

The foods below cost less than a candy bar!

Here’s the Divine Caroline list of 20 healthy foods for under $1:

1. Oats: High in fiber and good for cholesterol. A dollar buys you a week’s worth of breakfast or keeps you well-supplied in oatmeal cookies.

2. Eggs: Costing about a dollar for a half-dozen, these are one [...]

Gut Rot

Here are some great tips from Ben Greenfield for avoiding gas build up.  If it hasn’t happened to you (thank your lucky stars!) it may at some point.

Endurance athletes need heavy amounts of carbohydrate based fuel. When this sugary fuel meets up with the bacteria in your stomach, digestion and fermentation produces CO2 – the [...]

Low Cost vs. High Cost Foods

Below is a startling image of how Americans are eating.  In a world with so much variety, you’d think people would expand and try new things.  Not so.  This is a great read which was found in the Journals of Nutrition.

The trend toward lower-cost diets

Americans are consuming more refined carbohydrates, more added sugars, and more [...]
