Physical exercise

In the past, and I'm talking about past times when people never knew when there would be enough food, it made sense to eat a lot in times of plenty and gain weight in the process, and that extra weight would slowly disappear again in leaner times.

After breaking from dieting for a while, I realized that I’d picked up quite a bit of weight again. One of the disadvantages of being overweight was the fact that I was suffering from a bad case of what I call, Mommy FAT. The type of FAT that I gained from being pregnant, along with eating and drinking like a pig, and not working out. It was the cushy FAT that the children enjoyed laying on, to feel comfortable or to take naps. It was also the type of FAT that made me lazy. It was even the…

Individuals are lacking the necessary nutrients in order to support optimal health and their diets consist of excess sugar and fast food. This is a health issue that correlates to the lack of important micronutrients and overconsumption of macronutrients, in particular carbohydrates and fats. Micronutrients consist of vitamins and minerals,…

How Biomechanical Knowledge Can Contribute to Physical Performance The field of Biomechanics involves study of external and internal forces and their impact on human movement. External Forces can include forces applied to other objects or persons, ground reaction forces, impact forces and fluid sources (Vogel, 2013). Conversely, internal biomechanical forces include those resulting from muscle activation and joint movement. Knowledge of this interplay between humans and their environment during…

When modifying the existing root zone, adequate cultivation is necessary to insure proper incorporation of the material. The more a topdressing material varies from the existing root zone in relation to its texture classification and physical properties, the more cultivation is typically needed. Without adequate cultivation, there remains a high potential for layering in the soil. Anytime there is a layer created in the soil, the interface between the layers will have the potential to negatively…

By Jonas Wilson, Ing. Med. Fat Grafting Fat grafting is he medical procedure whereby fat is taken via liposuction from an unwanted or unnecessary part of the body and is grafted (i.e. transferred) to another part.

Which nutrient needs are increased the most during pregnancy? Your body has increased nutritional needs during pregnancy. Although the old saying of "eating for two" isn't entirely correct, you do require more micronutrients and macronutrients to support you and your baby. The needs for most nutrients are increased during pregnancy to meet the high demands of both the growing fetus and the mother, who herself goes through a period of growth to carry the child and prepare for lactation. Eating…
