What are EAA's?

 

Greeting Beautiful Human Beings!

Today's subject of choice is regarding nutrition. Shocker, I know! Majority of us have heard of BCAA's before. BCAA's are branch chain amino acids. They're pretty important for muscle growth and development. They aid in recovery time and prevent muscle soreness. When implementing an exercise regimen, incorporating them into your supplementation is definitely worth considering. BCAA's are composed of three amino acids being Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine. I'll insert a diagram below to demonstrate it a little bit clearer.

Now let' take a look at EAA's, means Essential Amino Acids. EAA's also promote  muscle growth and lean muscle mass. Amino acids are the building blocks to protein. Protein is essential to build muscle in the body. By promoting muscle growth then you will naturally decrease in fat. This shift is what body recomposition is all about. In total there are 20 amino acids. They are broken down into 3 groups. Branch chain amino acids, Essential Amino Acids, and Non-essential amino acids. There are a total of 9 Amino acids and the BCAA's are included in the list. So out of technicality BCAA's are also considered to be EAA's. I'll insert a diagram to more clearly display this.

If BCAA's seem like a bit much you can always get the same amino acids in food products such as eggs, beef, soy and dairy. If you have food allergies to any of those supplementing may be a better route for you. EAA's will enhance your athletic performance and then in turn support increased muscle growth and therefor promote a more lean looking body. By supplementing with EAA's you'd also be getting the BCAA's so really its a win/win situation for you. These supplements have to be taken alongside of a workout regimen in order to see results. Some personal trainers will suggest taking these amino acids right before and right after your workouts to really see the "gains".

As always friends, that's enough "bro-science" for one day. Feel free to share  this with anyone you believe this will be helpful to. Share the positive vibes, LIKE, Comment or follow me for more!

Do you TABATA?

Greetings Friends,

Today....were discussing Tabata workouts! So personally Im a bit biased. I absolutely lalalove these workouts. I find them to be so enjoyable and fun. I get a good sweat on but, it doesn't wear my body out.  The older one is, the more prone to injury you may be. So safety is so important while doing high intensity workouts. Majority of you, may have heard of HIIT workouts and the fat burning effects it has. I believe the majority of people participate in this type of regimen because of those fat burning effects. I personally have experienced feeling drained after the workout. I generally don't look forward to HIIT days so Im beyond grateful to have discovered Tabata.

So let's get into the nitty gritty of it all. Let's emerce ourselves here. Tabata is a form of HIIT (high intensity interval training). It usually is higher intensity for a shorter time frame. The reason why this is excellent, is because it allows for explosive energy that gets your heart rate up and then allows you an opportunity to rest before it becomes a bit much. This is also excellent for anyone who is injury prone. When performing at a high intensity, injuries are very probable. For this reason it is of high importance to ensure you are performing the exercises with correct form to avoid injuries and to receive the maximum benefits of the movement on the muscle group being trained.

So what's the verdict? Which one is better for you? HIIT or Tabata? Well it all comes down to personal preference in the end. The studies conducted have shown both have grand fat burning effects on the body. Tabata in the end IS a form of HIIT. I personally enjoy having explosive high intensity movements and a shorter time period of performing it. Both exercises do train the entire body, and multiple muscle groups at once. Both would be considered to be beneficial for the entire body and a time saver. If you enjoy a good sweat session and a challenge, these workouts will do it for you.

As always, I hope you found this informative and helpful for your wellness journey. Feel free to comment, share, follow or hey like it! Don't forget to spread love, light, and joy wherever you go.

Peace! Its been real! Much love! <3

Move your body! Kinesiology!

                                                              

Hi Friends!

Welcome back to a new Holistic approach to wellness blogposttt! Todays subject is about Kinesiology! 

Kinesiology is also known as Exercise Science. It's the study of the effect movement has on the body.  

It analyzes it from various perspectives such as Physiological, Anatomical, Bio-mechanical, and  Neuro-psycological.  Movement has such a healing effect on the body. Essentially this would be a concept similar to what physical therapy is after experiencing injury to a muscle group.

 

The concept is that the body can heal it self.

 

        Movement allows blood to flow and circulate all throughout the body. Moving your body also works as a pump for your lymphatic system. This allows the water within your body to move and ideally exit the body. When no movement is conducted, this water stays still. This allows the water to become stale and essentially collect toxins. This is why Message therapist will recommend for their clients to come see them on a regular basis so "remove the toxins" through message therapy. While they are not wrong, but with movement you would essentially be doing a similar act that would naturally do what the message therapy is doing. This is why its ideal for anyone dealing with an autoimmune condition to move their body to avoid water retention. Honestly movement is great for everyone and the more we move and stay active the better health of our body we will have.

  

Notice I have been focusing on MOVEMENT and I have not specifically said exercise. This is because Id like to encourage and challenge everyone to increase their level of movement regardless of the current level you are currently at. Maybe you have little to no movement, this article is not to shame you or to make anyone feel bad. Im writing this to show the benefits of MOVING YOUR BODY. Its all about increasing your N.E.A.T. ( Non-exercise activity thermogenesis) This is all the energy spent while not performing traditional exercise. Ever heard of Energy in and energy out? Movement is not just about losing weight or vanity but in reality its about the wellness of your body.

MOVEMENT

-Morning walks

-Lunch break walks

-Evening walks

-Go for a hike 

- Dance in the kitchen while cooking meals ( we all do this) hehe

-Go walk your dog

- Park further away in the parking lot

If you are already a gym buff or a workout queen...then excellent...Id challenge you to take it to the next level and try working out outside or twice a day. Lets just get out there and move. The more movement there is the more even our brains and mental well being well have. Thats an entirely another subject for another day with soooo much science behind it. I digress but I hope the message got across and was conveyed clearly.

As always I hope you enjoyed your time here. Feel free to like and follow, share with anyone you believe would benefit from this....Which is everyone haha. Bye friends as always spread light and love and positivity with all. Peace!

ENERGY HEALING!

 

Hi there guys and gals!

Welcome back to another blog post! Todays such will be about energy healing. I was so inspired to dive into this subject after have a profound experience myself. Energy healing is a holistic practice. A lot of naysayers are skeptical. One thing many are not discussing is that we all are composed to energy. That is a scientific fact. Once you start breaking everything down not only is everything composed of energy but it vibrates at its own frequency. Our bodies also have an energetic body itself. Once we experience different thing in life different areas of our bodies can start to experience blockages or negative energy which in turn create illness and takes away from our well being.

There are several types of energy healing such as the following:

1. Reiki

2. Quantum touch

3. Qigong

4. Thatahealing

5. Cranial Sacral

6. Access Bars

7. Shamanism

8. Reflexology

9. Accupressure

10. Accupuncture

How does Reiki Help:

• Promotes harmony & Balance
• Creates deep relaxation and helps the body release stress
• Accelerates the body’s self-healing ability
• Helps relieve pain
• Dissolves energy blocks & promotes natural balance between mind, body and spirit
• Helps spiritual growth & emotional cleansing
• Assist the body in cleaning itself from toxins & supports immune system
• Clears the mind & improves focus as you feel grounded & centered
• Aids in better sleep
• Compliments medical treatment & other therapies.

Of course everyone could benefit from energy healing as we are all composed of energy and have energetic bodies with in us. Empaths or highly sensitive people benefits the most from energy healing. Empaths can feel others emotions and energy or other which often throws them off balance. Empaths especially need to take care of themselves energetically. Energy healing would be excellent for them and energy healing is something that can be done even individually. Some empaths are even known to have healing abilities themselves and can work as energy healers.

Then is there a way to maintain our energetic bodies wellbeing without a session? Of course! There are several ways everything from breath work to crystals to meditations can achieve there energetic well being. The science behind this is pretty amazing. Many claim after their sessions they feel much lighter and calm. Its definitely worth a shot, Id say. After everything we've gone through in the past couple of years collectively im sure many need an energy cleanse. Many have had traumatic experiences and energy healing can even be used for emotional well being as well or physical illness. Negative energy trapped in ones body eventually turns into Illness. Our emotions are actually energy in motion. So we actually need to make sure to steer clear from negative emotions and if we can't avoid it try seem of these energy healing methods.

Well guys that's all for today! As always make this world a much better happier place to exist in! Spread smiles, hugs and laughter with your loved ones. Comment and follow below and feel free to share this blog with those you believe may need it! Peaceeeee!

Do You have a leaky gut?!

                                        

  Hi There Friendssss!

 Im back at it again! This time discussing the leaky gut syndrome. Honestly Im trying to raise awareness of this syndrome because I believe many may have this undiagnosed condition. Making some simple adjustments to your diet CAN correct this and dare I say it....Even HEAL it! So now that Ive made major claims lets dive right in to the science ( my favorite part) shall we?  Insert diagram below hehe. Im very visual so Id like to provide a visual to assist in the explanation.

As you can see on the diagram above. Inside of our gutt, there is a microbiome and within that microbiome we have a gut lining. A normal gutt lining has a pretty solid lining and doesn't let anything through into the intestinal walls. When we have a "Leaky gut" it means our gutt lining has been compromised meaning the lining is not secure anymore so particles of undigested food seep through the lining into the intestines which usually cause inflammation. This inflammation then  alerts the immune system and provokes adverse effects in defense to the inflammation to the abnormal issue occurring within your gutt. This then causes many side effects. I will insert a diagram below explaining this further.

The good news is that there is hope! This can be rectified with the right approach. We have to begin by taking out inflammatory foods such as gluten, dairy, sugar and any additional food intolerances we may have. This is essential to the healing and can not be ignored. So this is my first step to healing. Add fermented foods such as apple cider vinegar and Kimchi or pickles to the diet. Add healthy fats such as Avacados, Fatty fish, olive oil. Lastly Probiotics and probiotics and postbiotics will definitely be needed for repair. L-glutamine and Zinc are essential for healing as well to repair the gut flora.

To all problems there is a solution so lets be happy and strive for balance as balance is definitely key when it comes to wellness! Well Ive said my peace! Feel free to share this content with anyone who you believe it will be useful to. Spread much peace, joy and love with everyone around you! Lets make this a better world to exist in shall we?!

Symbiotic Smoothiee!

Good Morning friends!

Happy first day of December! New month, fresh new start for new beginnings! Today I really want to discuss the power of a symbiotic diet. Symbiotic organisms are basically two living organism working together or living together in the same environment. As we all know as the discussion of the microbiome has become very popular in the last couple of years. Concerning our gut health microbiome will affect our overall well being. In this microbiome we have both good bacteria and bad bacteria living amongst each other. There is also neutral bacteria that can be influenced by the majority of bacteria in your gut flora. We all heard of the importance of having probiotics in your system. Now pre-biotics have come into discussion as well. Pre biotics are said to be even more essential than probiotics due to the fact that prebiotics work as a fertilizer i your gut flora and assist in creating more probiotics in your gut microbiome. Once the Fertilizer has worked if you implement a good probiotic, then you'll be looking at an awesome digestive system. Having great digestion is so crucial because it is the way we excrete toxins from our body. If our bodies fail to excrete the toxins this way, then it will find other (not so ideal) outlets for example your skin. Ill dedicate an other post concerning that.

Well after that in depth explanation of the power of symbiotics and incorporating them into your regimen. Now id like to speak about my symbiotic smoothie, which is why im sure you've all tuned in. 

So here we go! Just a reminder this smoothie will incorporate probiotcs and prebiotics to improve your gut flora and microbiome. This smoothie should be taken on an empty stomach upon waking up. The reason why is because when sleeping you are in a fasted state. One you break the fast with beakfast....Hence the name break-fast hehe I know all these years it went over my head too lol When breaking the fast the first thing that hits your gut flora has such a great impact so its best to take this smoothie on an empty stomach for the best results.

Symbiotic smoothie recipe..... Blueberry Coconut Smoothie!

1 handful of blueberries

1 handful of spinach

1 cup coconut water

1 cup coconut milk

2 tsp vanilla extract

2 tsp of Psyllium (prebiotic)

2 tsp of probiotic (glow powder from beauty chef) 

(any powder probiotic of your choice) ( to choose a good probiotic please check the amount of strains contained inside and make sure to refrigerate it as well.)

Optional add ins:

Vanilla plant based protein powder of your choice... to make a protein shake

This smoothie should contain ideally no added sugar or milk since bacteria overgrowth could occur. To keep optimal probiotcs in your system, please follow keto diet for about 14 days while taking this smoothie first thing in the morning. You will see optimized digestion along with glowing skin. This regimen could also be seen as a 14 day detox.

Sleep Matters

Good Night Loves!

 Life is great to live and be in the moment and sure being active and lively has its effects but something is often times overlooked is our sleep cycle. Yes, our sleep cycle! With the popular concept of "Ill sleep when I'm dead" or the ever so popular  "Yolo" we forsook sleeping in order to do other things. Little did we know how devastating this is for our bodies. Yes, I used the word devastating! It truly is, there are booming studies as researchers are taking a deeper look into the circadian rhythm of our bodies and how it affects out body. There are natural behavioral changes that we go through throughout the 24hr period. The majority of us are always plugged in and glancing at screens all day long. Its become such a habit to stay connected, however the blue light on our devices may be altering our sleep patterns. I have noticed how hard it is for me to wind down and actually fall asleep. I really struggle with receiving a good nights rest. Experts recommend that we should be sleeping about 7-9 hours daily. I cant speak for everyone but I know for a fact Im lucky if I get 6 hours of sleep. 

So first things first, lets start to break this down....

What is a Circadian Rhythm?

Circadian Rhythm runs on a 24hr schedule. It focuses on how light naturally affects the body. The name originates from the latin phrase "Circa diem"  translating into the "around the day". In 1729 a scientist named Jean Jacques d' Ortous de Mairan conducted an experiment on a Mimosa plant in a light controlled room and saw how the plant grew and reacted to light controlled settings. It is the same for all living creatures. Our cells run on a biological clock that responds to light. The study of this is called chronobiology. The research from these new studies are revealing to us how deeply our sleep cycles greatly affect our well being. Now since everyone is biologically different, everyone circadian rhythm will be slightly different but generally its similar considering its affected by the light. Considering that its vital that we understand that we will need consciously start winding down and creating a sleep routine to prepare us for a better nights rest. I've inserted a diagram that demonstrates the 24hr cycle.

Create a Night time routine!

1. Start dimming the lights- 2hrs before actually going to sleep

2. No device usage- Start restricting the usage on your devices such as tvs, laptops, phones. The reason is because it emits blue light which will also affect your melatonin levels impeding enhanced sleep.

3. Stop physical activity- about 2 hrs before bed

4. Early Dinners- Try to have dinner in the 5pm to 7pm window to allow your body time to digest and breakdown the food any consumption of food afterwards will disturb your sleep cycle.

5. Take a hot shower- As the day ends our body temperature tends to cool down so by having a hot shower you raise your balance your body temperature therefor enhancing your sleep.

Benefits of sleeping an adequate amount of sleep

1. Improve immune system

2. Promote weight loss

3. Reduce risk of illness and disease

4. Increase brain function

5. Improve your mood 

6. Reduce inflammation

7. Balances hormones

Ok guys and gals thats all I got for today, deff hope this was it for you! Share with your loved ones and share any feedback with me in the comments. Enjoy the rest of your day and work on improving your sleep cycle!

The Importance Of Achieving Hormone Balance

 

Helloooo there Friends!

Hormones have often times been overlooked when considering our health. Mainly because of its complexity. As our studies and research advances, so does our understanding of more complex human functions. New studies are showing the importance of achieving hormone balance and how it may be impacting our health goals. There are several factors that can throw your hormones off balance. The reason why this is important is because it could be delaying your weight loss goals or causing other issues to occur such as the following:

You will experience the following if your hormones are out of balance:

1.Acne

2.Insomnia

3.Excessive sweating

4. Weight gain

5. Changes in heart rate

6. Mood Swings

7. Fatigue

8. Irregularities in menstruation

The following are some of the hormones in your system.

Hormones :

1.Insulin- Allows cells to take blood sugar for energy or storage. It is also the main hormone for fat storage. Especially if you are insulin resistant.

2. Leptin- Other wise known as the "Satiety hormone" It reduces appetite and makes you feel full or satisfied.

3. Ghrelin- Other wise known as the "Hunger hormone" when your stomach is empty it release a message to the hypothalamus indicating you should eat.

4. Cortisol- Otherwise known as the "stress hormone" mainly because its released when your under stress.

5. Estrogen- The main female sex hormone produced by the ovaries used for regulating the female reproductive system.

6. Neuropeptide- Hormone produced by the brain and the nervous system

7. Glucagon- Hormone produced by the gut when nutrients are deposited into the intestines.

8. Cholecystokinin- A satiety hormone produced by cells in gut

9. Peptide YY- Gut hormone that controls appetite

10. Testosterone- Male major sex hormone

11. Androgen- Hormones contribute to the growth and reproduction

12. Growth Hormone- Controls the bodies growth

13. Melatonin- Regulates sleep and wake cycle.

14. Serotonin-Key hormone in stabilizing our mood, well being and happiness

Balancing your hormones is absolutely essential for overall well being. It is more common for the hormones to be out of balance than to maintain them in balance. Some cause for this is stressful situations,lack of sleep, thyroid issues, unhealthy diet, pregnancy, menopause. Hormones are a delicate part of the endocrine system and the chemistry of it can easily be altered. 

In order to achieve balance with regulating your hormones we can to first consider what affects the hormones. We can begin with nutrition. It is essential to eat enough protein and healthy fats with every meal. A helpful side note is that consuming eggs has so many nutritional components that will make your body very happy. Daily exercise will also assist in regulating your hormones.Skip on the sugar, minimizing your sugar intake will assist in not having insulin spike and mood irregularities not to mention bacteria loves to grow on sugary food and drinks. Consider trying out the Keto diet for about 3 weeks and see if your seeing an improvement overall. Its also super important to prioritize your sleep schedule. Try to get 7-9 hours of sleep daily. I know its challenging but lack of sleep really does a number and get your hormones all kinds of wacky.

Well thats it for now, Im going to be starting a series on hormone health soon! I've become very passionate on this subject and I appreciate all your support and love! As always feel free to share this content with those who you feel it will help! Dont forget to comment down below or reach out and connect as I love hearing from your all!

Rid yourself of all the toxins!

 

Hi Guys & Gals!

Something that is unavoidable are the constant toxins that our bodies are repeatedly exposed to on a daily basis. Toxins are defined as an antigenic poison or venom derived from a microorganism causing disease. We become exposed to toxins in various ways whether it be externally or internally. Externally exposure can occur through food additives, pesticides, various chemicals, tobacco products, and pollution. External exposure can occur in various forms such as application to the skin, however the majority of toxin enter our bodies through inhalation or otherwise known as breathing. Due to this, its very important to be aware of what we are surrounded by. A fun fact is that the majority of beauty products that have fragrance have loads of chemicals that FDA does not have to list. This is a perfect example of how toxins can secretly enter our bodies. As stated by the above by the definition of the word the reason it is essential to avoid these toxins is that, these toxins can cause disease and illness within our bodies. Internally toxins can be cause through bodily waste, hormone fluctuations and stress. When speaking about detoxification, its important to say that the liver is the main organ that excretes the toxins from our bodies. Therefor making it one of the most important organ as its function is crucial for our overall well being. Detoxification is an essential bodily process on a cellular level so that our bodies can function properly. Although our bodies do have the ability to do this on its own we can aid the process through doing a cleanse or a detoxification for about a week. Ideally a detox should be conducted for roughly a week. 

What are the Benefits of conducting a 1 Week detox!

1. Weight loss! - Once you get rid of all the unnecessary items in your body, not only will you feel better but you will also feel lighter.

2. Balance PH levels - Reaching a Ph balance is very important with weight loss because if your levels are low or acidic than it can result in our body storing acid in our fat cells in turn creating more fat cells which is the exact opposite of what we are looking to do.

3. Be disease free! - As stated above the entire purpose of ridding our bodies of toxins is to be HEALTHY! As toxins promote disease and illness.

4. Improve digestive system- Toxins can disrupt our microbiome cause illness such as diabetes, obesity, allergies, and gastrointestinal problems.

5. Improve Immunity!- Similarly as we steer clear of  these toxins we also improve our own immunity functions which aid us In preventing disease and illness.

6. Slow the aging process- Toxins do a number on your face and cells so by being aware of them you will in turn look younger.

7. Improve the quality of life-  Less toxins means less disease which means a happier life

8.Clear Skin!-  Less toxins means beautiful skin!

9. Mental and emotional clarity!- With less of the gunk in in your body, everything will be clearer.

TOXINS PUT UNNECESSARY STRESS UNTO THE BODY, SO DETOXIFICATION IS IDEAL!

Detox methods!

1. Drink loads of Water!

2. Lemon Water!

3. No Sugar

4. Avoid processed foods!

5. Eat Antioxidants rich foods

6. Eat food rich in probiotics or take a supplement

7. Sweat it out!

8. Epsom salt bath!

9. 3 day water fasting
