Carbs Are Gooooood!

Believe it or not, carbs are of bigger importance than protein when it comes to a post workout recovery and decreasing the amount of muscle wasting. You must replenish glycogen stores that are exhausted during exercise. Not doing so can lead to decreases in recovery, muscle wasting, decreases in athletic performance, and even injuries. According to the ADA and ACSM position statement athletes should be consuming 0.5 - 0.7 grams of carbs per lb of body weight 30 minutes, 2 hours, and 6 hours post workout for adequate glycogen replenishment.

Exercise Ball At Work!

Sitting on a exercise ball instead of a office chair will increase the amount of calories you burn throughout the day. This is because you have to activate more muscles to stay seated and balanced on the ball. More muscle activation equals more calories burned!

Fish "Its Whats For Dinner"

If there was one supplement that I had to choose for all my clients to take it would be fish oil (Omega-3 Fatty Acids). Fish oils promote cardiovascular protection. It is one of the few supplements that have been proven repeatedly by solid research to have a cardioprotective affect. Fish oils decrease triglycerides, inhibit platelet aggregation and formation of blood clots, lower blood pressure, prevent plaque formation and improve the health of the coronary vascular walls. Fish oils are found in cold water fish, flaxseed, canola oil, soybean oil , walnuts, and leafy greens. The largest supplement trial that included 11,324 patients who where survivors of myocardial infarctions the fish oil supplementation group had a 20% reduction in total mortality, a 30% reduction in cardiovascular death, and a 45% decrease in sudden death 3.5 years after supplementation began.
The American Heart Association recommends at least two servings (2 oz per serving) of cold water fish per week for individuals without documented cardiovascular heart disease (CHD). Individuals with documented CHD it is recommended to consume 1 gram of omega-3 fatty acids per day. Patients that need omega-3's to reduce triglycerides it is recommended to consume 2-4 grams per day.
