Besides the regular ol’ advice of drinking at least 8 glasses of water every day, there are a few more interesting facts about water. There is a guy called Massaru Emoto who has done a few interesting experiments with water and how it changes its molecular structure just from words and  [ Read More ]

The all around food of the last centuries. Bread, pasta, pizza, rice, wheat, cereals, you name it. Some people are pro and some oppose grains. I stand in between. Cereals have their role in our diet, but you have to know yourself, so you can eat the right amount needed by your body. Depending on how active you are, you can eat more or less. Grains contain complex carbohydrates. Short  [ Read More ]

Food for the morning. I think it’s the easiest breakfast to cook. Eggs contain a lot of minerals and important nutrients. Also, the amino acid spectrum is complete, providing us with quality proteins. Forget the old cholesterol myth, because quality eggs have a positive impact upon health. How can we tell which are the good eggs and which are the fool eggs? Choose organic or buy from the farmers’ markets.  [ Read More ]

Love milk and dairy. Milk is my favourite drink after water. Tasty, nutritious and sweet. I go for the natural, raw milk that I buy from the farmers’ markets. Same goes for the butter and cream. It’s obvious why I love the natural products, first of all they taste way better than the packed dairy products in stores. After you have some of the real thing, you realise that the  [ Read More ]

Probably my favourite group. Delicious and nutritious! You can eat them at any time of the day or as a snack. What I like to do is eat an apple or pear in the morning on an empty stomach, because it helps digestion and the nutrients and juices from the fruits get absorbed faster in the body, because the stomach is empty. I love bananas! I am bananas . But  [ Read More ]

You’ve heard plenty about them. It them at every meal, all the colours they come in, cook them in every way you can possibly think of. Veggies also make food much easier to chew, because of their juicy, mushy texture. So, digestion occurs easier and you get the benefits of antioxidants and other important nutrients. I recommend eating seasonal veggies and fruits, too. The amount of bio-available nutrients in the vegetables  is  [ Read More ]

We love, cherish, worship it for thousands of years. Animals symbolise prosperity, love. power, and so many other things. But our main interest in it is nourishment. It nourishes our bodies with the nutrients and energy that it has accumulated during its lifetime. From fish to cattle, each has something to offer us. It could be its flesh or its “gifts”, like roe or milk. Each of us gets bombarded  [ Read More ]

In the next few posts I’m going to go through the 8 major food groups that shape our lives and bodies. You probably know them, but you can refresh your memory: Animal Products Vegetables Fruits Dairy Eggs Grains Water Delicious Treats That’s the stuff we extract the energy to fuel our bodies. If the quality is high, the results will be great. If it’s low, move your butt, eat something  [ Read More ]

Cold out in Europe and Romania right now. Well, it is the middle of winter. But what are we eating in the winter time? A great diet usually involves seasonal food. Because it’s the middle of the cold season, fresh fruits and vegetables are less available than usual. If they are available though, I don’t recommend them, because they’re either imported, which means they travel thousands of miles to get  [ Read More ]

Hate crunches! No ab exercises on the floor for me! Some of you might dislike it like me, but some might enjoy the good ol’ army routine. I just saw Ab Ripper X2, which seems freakin’ difficult, but it’s not my style. I will try it out though! I like doing all kinds of crazy stuff for core on the pull-up bar. L crunches, scissors, in&outs on the pull-up bar.  [ Read More ]
