Note: Today we're featuring a guest post by Deane Alban from BeBrainFit.com. Deane has focused her life's work on helping to keep folks sharp and healthy into their later years.

The 400,000 Hour Body

A nice little reminder from the Whole9 archives. Also, we've not read the 4 Hour Body, so can't speak to its contents - we just thought this title played nicely. We get a lot of questions about products, services and protocols that promise miraculous results - improved body composition, fitness, energy or health - with minimal effort.

We get a lot of questions about products, services and protocols that promise miraculous results - improved body composition, fitness, energy or health - with minimal effort.   This slant is not new – the lure of a shortcut (or “free lunch”, as Gym Jones calls it) has been the carrot dangling from our health-and-fitness stick since we first started paying attention to what we ate and how we moved.  And wouldn’t it be great if it were true?  If you could achieve all of your health and fitness … [Read more...]

Eat your veggies

Thursday, 23 July 2009Rest Day Looking for a way to get more vegetables into your diet? Check this article in the New York Times called, "Recipes for 101 Simple Salads for the Season." Not all of them are Paleo-friendly, so skip or sub out those recipes that call for bread or cheeses.
