Most people will agree that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It is meant to provide you with the energy and nutrients that you need in order to start your day off right. Let us analyze this term more closely. To "break fast" means to end a long period of time when someone has not had any food. This is entirely true, if you think about the fact that you have spent most of the night sleeping. After a long night of sleeping, you will definitely feel the need to fill up and have a good meal. Starting the day without having breakfast is like trying to get through the day without anything to give you the power to do your tasks properly. Breakfast is the single thing that gets you going so...

Foods and Diets Litigations
Why is that food processing and commerce are not strictly regulated by law so as to prevent health problems generated by an inadequate diet? Unhealthy products encourage an unhealthy diet, appealing the consumer by their availability within reach and the invading advertising. If the food producers are controlled by health officials, then it must be that the regulations are too lax in as far as marketed foods are concerned.Everyone knows that, for instance, hydrogenated oils and partially hydrogenated oils are highly unhealthy. Tons of studies and informative material have been published, yet there is a population segment that still falls into traps saying that margarine is a "healthier alternative...

Personal Lactate Threshold Training
These are not the reasons we do Lactate Threshold Training.What is it? When muscles contract vigorously for long periods, the circulatory system begins to lose ground in delivery of oxygen (necessary for energy production). In these conditions the breakdown of glucose is converted to lactic acid. As the lactate is produced in the muscles, it leaks out into the blood and is carried around the body. If this condition continues, the functioning of the body will become impaired and the muscles fatigue very quickly. This point is often measured as the lactate threshold.Why Do We Do It? The aim of the training system is to saturate the muscles in lactic acid, which will educate the body's buffering...

Insulin Resistance
We hear a lot about insulin resistance, but stop and think a little bit, do you think our cells only become resistant to insulin? The more hormones your cells are exposed to, the more resistant they will become to almost any hormone. Certain cells more than others, so there is a discrepancy. The problem with hormone resistance is that there is a dichotomy of resistance, that all the cells don't become resistant at the same time.And different hormones affect different cells, and the rate of hormone is different among different cells and this causes lots of problems with the feedback mechanisms. We know that one of the major areas of the body that becomes resistant to many feedback loops is the...
Memories and the Comforts of Foods
Growing older has many good points I suppose. Maturity brings a lot of knowledge and experience one can share, with others but mainly with our children. Most are not in need or want of what we have learned in the past and prefer to experiment and learn for themselves.With this in mind, it occurred to me that one thing most accepted and shared is a joy in food. Sharing the experience of foods enjoyed, cooking, and sharing tastes of the past are always welcomed.At this stage in my life after seventy one years I find that many happy memories seem to dwell on foods of my past. I thought I would share some of the more unusual ones with you.I was born in Montreal, Canada, and though I left when I was only...
