Injury Recovery
by Rod Dunn PhD LSSM Dip (Hons) MAAF MGCP
 |
| It is the connective tissue, or fascia to give it its proper name, that surrounds every muscle fiber and group of muscles in the body, which adapts to the stress of both macro and microtrauma. This is the body's basic tissue, which has many specialized forms such as muscle, tendons, ligaments, fascia, blood vessels and nerves. |

A Heavyweight Primer: The Skinny on Fats
By: Sue Long
|
| We have all heard that it is best to eat a low fat diet, but what does that mean. One avocado contains 27 grams of fat! That as much fat as is in 9 ounces of fudge! Does that mean we should not eat avocados? That they belong in the same category as fried snack foods and candy? |

Keys to Smart Exercise
by Dr. David Lemberg, D.C. |
| People are busy. We all want to maximize value from effort. Likewise with exercise. We want to feel good, have more energy, lose weight, get stronger, and get faster. Sometimes, if we want these results immediately, we can do too much, train too hard or too often, or possibly "all of the above". As a result, rather than getting the training benefit, we get an injury. |

What is Cellulite? What Can be Done About It?
By: Aaron Stone, MD
|
| Cellulite is the only word we have to describe the uneven pitted surface or dimpling of the skin commonly seen on the thighs of women. I am not sure who first coined the term but doubt it was first used by cosmetics manufacturers to describe this condition. It is common in women, rarely seen in men and begins at various ages depending on body type, genetic makeup, and other factors. |

Pyruvate: Medical Miracle or Medical Fraud?
By: Kristofer Hogg MS, RD
|
| There are two pieces to the marketing success of pyruvate. The first is, of course, the false claims made for it. The second is that it can be made very cheaply from glucose. Even though it is a "natural" substance, it is synthetically made. Now, the pill makers have a winning formula: ultra cheap to produce, lots of sexy metabolic claims, and a huge markup. So why is pyruvate yet another nutritional hustle? |
