How Exercise Affects the Immune System

You probably know what foods you need to be eating for a stronger immune system. It is as easy as adding fresh, unprocessed protein, vegetables, fruit, legumes, grains, nuts and seeds to your daily and weekly diet for you to start feeling better. It's a wonderful bonus that many of those foods are excellent for providing other health advantages like a strong heart, better brain functioning and an improved respiratory system. Speaking of bolstering your heart, brain and respiratory process, exercise can provide those benefits as well. And you don't have to take up hours of weekly strength training or run 5 miles every day to benefit. Actually, over-training and exercising too hard can have a negative effect on your body's ability to fight off infection and illness. How "Smart" Exercise Works to Boost Immunity There is a lot of research on the multiple benefits of exercise. You feel great about yourself, you sleep better, your brain is more crisp and clear, and you ...

Can't Walk Like You Used To?

  On my hike today I was reminded of when I couldn't physically walk, let alone hike up and down hills.  If you are facing an injury or health condition that prevents you from walking, I share a little tip - start where you can start and build on that. I mention the Wellness Center, so here is the link to it:  https://youtobehealthy.yourwellnessproject.com I'm on a mission to turn sick care into well care. Want to come along?

Are You Upset Because You Tried Exercising & Now You Injured Yourself?

  Started off too hard, too fast and injured yourself, didn’t you? I have done this before. I have also been mad and worked out too hard, too fast one day causing a really bad injury that took months to heal. So don’t ever feel you’re the only one who has done this. It’s easy to be motivated in the beginning to start working out. You pick out some great workout clothes, vowing that they will be too big for you to wear in a month. You then fall for that slick infomercial about how this special, scientifically studied, made just for you, exercise routine will be different than all the rest and you will finally be able to see the fat just literally melt off your body before your very eyes! So you download that series, or you decide to jog that mile, never having jogged since high school, when all of a sudden after 2 days, Wham! You’re sidelined with a pulled muscle, a severe back ache, or a swollen knee. Now you are lying on the couch with that ice pack as you dive head first into a ...

What Makes Leucine Special?

Leucine is one of three branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) along with isoleucine and valine. Your muscles are in a continuous state of breakdown and repair called “protein turnover.” Out of the three BCAAs, leucine plays a unique role in stimulating muscle protein synthesis, a process in which protein is produced to repair muscle damage and prevent protein breakdown. Muscle repair is necessary for physical activity because exercise causes muscle protein breakdown. And muscle protein stimulus and breakdown determine whether or not muscle is built or lost, which makes leucine an important BCAA for maintaining lean body mass, or the mass of the body minus fat. So guys...and gals, it's important you are getting enough leucine in your diet, especially if you are working out and trying to build muscle. Aren't we all?
