BRAIN FULE!!!!! Omega-3

I found a great article on the brain power of Omega-3. Research has found profound anti-aging effects on brain structure and function, from cognition and memory to mental health and the prevention of depression, bipolar, ADD, and Alzheimer’s.

I don't know about you but for some reason the photo of this brain is really sexy to me and so is the information in this article.....seriously!

Omega -3 Fatty acid is your Food for the Brain

Host for ION Sports.com at the US Open of Beach Volleyball in Manhattan Beach



On September 24th, 25th and 26th, The Fourth Annual US Open of Beach Volleyball went off in Manhattan Beach, CA.

Karch Kiraly is spearheading the development of the US Open. He is working with USA Volleyball and the Elevation Group to professionally and successfully put on the program.

The US Open continues to grow towards its goal of becoming one of the largest Beach Volleyball tournaments in the nation, offering competition to players of all skill level from around the country. In 2009 the US Open grew to over 250 teams from over 25 states and 4 countries.

Karch is the only volleyball player in the world who is a 3-Time Olympic Gold Metalist and had the longest running professional career to date of almost 30 years. I had the opportunity to meet and interview him for ION Sports.com

I have to admit it was a childhood dream come true to meet him, since my first love was volleyball. I always wanted to be a professional volleyball player for years and years until the hard truth hit me......I'm super short!!

It was great to hear about his long and successful career and also talk about what he's doing now to inspire the youth to excel in volleyball through the US Open and the Wide Open Beach Volleyball series.

The World is Bigger Than You Think


Natalie Clafton is a New Coach on my Team at 'ACTIVE NUTRITION!' She recently graduated from college and she loves running. I want to promote her blog so you can find out more about this healthy mid-western girl!

These days there are numerous topics that seem to fire me up. Maybe it is the recent end to my educational pursuit (for the moment) or the lack of an immediate full time job to fall into, but my head continues to spin from all the information it is fed daily.

Today, the source of my twitch- obesity. Let me state for the court, this is not the first time I've tried to calm the nerve. In the past few days I've had the pleasure to meet a group of people so passionate, so enthusiastic, so energetic, my eyes widen, ears perked and mind went into overdrive. We the people. We the people really do have the power to change. There are people out there who truly will not stand for the brainwashing from multiple industries to continue to expand our waistlines and rest our beating hearts. READ MORE>>>>

WHY PROTEIN IS SO IMPORTANT TO OUR LIVES




A Necessity For Every Body
Protein is an important component of every cell in the body! It is an organic compound, composed of 22 amino acids, otherwise known as the building blocks of life. Protein is stored in muscles and organs and the body utilizes it to build and repair tissues, as well as for the production of enzymes and hormones.
Proteins also make it possible for blood to carry oxygen throughout the body. Along with fat and carbohydrates, protein is a "macronutrient," meaning the body needs relatively large amounts of it. The Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences has concluded that our daily protein requirements should be 10% to 35% of our total caloric intake, with men needing slightly more than women. Generally, women need about 75-100 grams a day and men need even more. A lack of protein can cause loss of muscle mass, decreased immunity, as well as weakening of the heart and respiratory system.

How Protein Affects Your Weight
The widespread popularity of high-protein diets is due in large part to their ability to help manage hunger. When protein is absorbed, it sends a signal to the brain to decrease your hunger. Another benefit of protein is that it raises your resting metabolism by maintaining muscle mass. As we age, muscle mass decreases without exercise, so staying fit is a key to burning fat by keeping your metabolism high. Protein also leads to a much less rapid rise and fall of blood sugar and insulin, so you avoid the "sugar highs and lows" after eating sweets without adequate protein. Certain foods, however, provide a healthier resource for protein than others.

Consider the Source
You can obtain healthy sources of protein without high levels of saturated fat. For example, soybeans, nuts and whole grains provide protein without much saturated fat and offer plenty of healthful fiber and micronutrients as well. If you’re looking for yet another great way to obtain healthy protein, vegetable sources of protein found in Herbalife’s Formula 1, are high-quality and have lower calorie levels with virtually no added fat.
Herbalife® products personalize your daily protein intake to match your body’s needs. With a variety of shakes and snacks, the Herbalife program helps you build or maintain lean muscle while providing healthy weight management support.

Now that you’ve increased your knowledge of protein, you can effectively enhance your diet and allow good health to take shape.
