To start it’s a dynamic way to add fresh nutrients that you normally wouldn’t eat because so many of use are eating processed foods and have less than ideal diets. Freshly squeezed fruit and vegetable juices retain most of the vitamins, minerals and plant chemicals (phytonutrients) that would be found in the whole versions of those foods. These nutrients can help protect against cardiovascular disease, cancer and various inflammatory diseases, like rheumatoid arthritis. My dear friend and fitness legend Jack Lalanne would always say cooking kills. What he was that cooking is a chemical process and understandably, it changes the molecular structure of the food, making it foreign to the body. If you don’t think this is likely, stick your hand in a pot of boiling water. When you pull it out, how does it look? Is it in better or worse condition? Cooking destroys the enzymes in food, but what are enzymes and why should you care? Enzymes are life. They are on an equal level with vitamins, minerals, fats, carbohydrates, proteins, and water. Without the presence of enzymes in food, the body is forced to rob [...]
ThanksGiving 2015
Thanksgiving 2015 - fun family food and fitness... don't blow what you know to be true - this is not your last meal - so enjoy the protein, go light on the stuffing and have a taste of dessert - not the whole pie! BUT first a few tips: 1. Be sure to eat slowly. 2. KNOW THAT THIS IS NOT YOUR LAST MEAL!! :) 3. Fill the INSIDE of your plate 1X 4. Protein is a fist size 5. Veggies are 2 -3 fists (umm, if they aren't loaded with marshmallows) 6. Don't snack on the appetizers 7. Drink 8-10oz of water 30 minutes BEFORE you eat! 8. Never eat without a napkin on your lap (translates to: don't eat standing up) 9. Stop before you've cleared that plate and ask yourself, "Am I still hungry?" 10. ENJOY the people. The LOVE. The Gratitude. That's truly what this holiday SEASON is all about.. not the food. 11. Take a tupperware container and pack some of this goodies you couldn't finish in your plate for another meal.

Metabolic Boosting Foods!

Well here’s an exciting bonus - certain food CAN boost your metabolism and help you burn fat just by EATING THEM! What Is Metabolism? Metabolism is the amount of energy or calories needed by your body to maintain itself throughout the day. Everyone's metabolism is different and affected by your body’s composition -people with more muscles will have a higher metabolism, while those that are less muscular have a lower metabolism. Old adage to get you motivated to go to the gym (or SpinGym regularly) muscle burns fat for fuel! A person with a higher metabolism (due to working out and greater muscle mass) will be able to eat more calories daily than another person with the same weight and height that does not workout or have the same amount of muscle mass. Great news for those of us who LOVE to eat. The foods listed below can literally scorch calories as you chew - they are ones with very high thermogenic properties. SO! Feed your metabolism with these… Hot peppers Capsaicin, the compound that gives chili peppers their kick, heats up [...]

Her knowledge of the human body from her experience as a dancer, martial artist, massage therapy, and fitness expert were equally if not more impressive.

As a doctor, I use a “whole person approach” when taking care of my patients. By combining the very best hands-on-technique, state of the art physiotherapy procedures, and providing clients with the newest and best fitness programs and natural vitamins and mineral supplements on the market today.

Below are 5 reasons why I endorse the Forbes Riley SpinGym Weight control Burn Calories through this fun and proven exercise.
