Its that time of year, the yardwork happening all at once while dodging the rain. Good rule of thumb is, you rest your back double the time that your have worked it.
You know the rule! Get in here if you can tell that something is off.

Visceral fat, itself is a metabolically active endocrine organ. It has its own blood supply that makes and releases bioactive and inflammatory molecules. This means that the visceral fat is playing an active role in your biochemistry.

There are two types of fat, that we as humans. 1) Subcutaneous fat (the fat that we can see in the mirror) 2) Visceral fat (intra-abdominal fat (the fat that is deep in your abdominal cavity, packed tightly between internal organs). These two types are not equal (explained above). However, if it is an affectively a endocrine organ, then it is highly modifiable. Visceral fat ofen shrinks faster in early weight loss; for example, losing about 5–10% of body weight can reduce visceral fat by 10–30%.

If you "attack" the correct fat you will be able to impact your biochemistry more directly.

Okay! We have been inundated with the most annoying phone calls, spam calls!
We are actively taking steps to cut them down but, if you call and I don't answer, PLEASE, leave a voicemail. They are getting good at their caller ID.

Learned something the other day: Fibroblasts (a cell type of connective tissue) make collagen (1 & 2) and elastin when you are growing up, all the way through puberty. Once you are past puberty and roll your ankle (picture bellow) those fibroblasts will ONLY make collagen to repair the tissue (not both collagen and elastin).

We know that the timing of your last meal will impact your sleeping quality but what if we are missing the "what" your eating instead of "timing".
They have found that the MICROnutrients have a bigger impact on sleep than MACROnutrients. Magnesium, Vit C, Folic Acid and Vit E were shown to lead to a deeper and more restful sleep.
If we take a step back, we can say that a quality diet has more of a systematic impact than singlar/ couple of systems.

We always talk about how good exercises is for your body but it also impacts your brain in a big way. Exercising (either cardio or weight) can make your brain "look" younger; the younger it looks the better it works.

We have seen a 1-2 year reduction in "brain age gap" (what the brain look like vs how the brain functions; negative score is good). A year of exercise may leave a longer-lasting imprint on brain network organization. Resting-state connectivity was used to estimate the brains age and found that the network organization spanned across the entire brain.

With this global improvement in neural connectivity rather than localized changes, and heavy training showed greater functional connectivity vs. controls, with many changes in the prefrontal cortex and other regions involved in executive control and motor function.

We all know, getting some sunlight is healthy but it may be just more than vitamin D and circadian rhythm. We may have just found out more aspects that sunlight can help with.
1) It helps keep your blood sugar in a normal range during the day (food intake was a control factor) and helps with burning fat during the day.
2) It can cause a stronger response to melatonin, because total melatonin exposure was higher, AND sunlight starts the circadian rhythm cycle about 45 min earlier than non sunlight.

GO GET SOME SUN!!!
