As you know, I try my very best to combine Naturopthic Wholistic Principles of Nutriton with Fitness and Exercie Regemine Structure, and sometimes, I feel the need to step back to gain more perspective and more knowledge.
And this one’s for the people who want to know more about the nuts and bolts; and I want to start with a Re-Hash of the practicle uses above by revisting the topic on Nutrition & Exercise by using the Client examples.
If you remember back to a much ealrier Newsletter Segement, I used two client examples in how to recover your health and improve your fitness at the same time, so today you will learn:

The Digestive Tips ‘N’ Tricks that you should use to speed digestion way up
…(whilst substituting the 12 bad foods), are:
A) Apple Cider Vinegar - helps rebuild stomach acid back up to help break down of proteins, carbs, and fats into smaller molecules for absorption.
B) Turmeric & Black Pepper combined help reduce intestinal swelling and help sooth the intestinal tract. Black pepper activates the turmeric compounds after consumption.
C) The use of Digestive Enzymes (Preferably from Youngevity or another trusted supplement company - do your research if this is the case)
Cleaning Up Digestion Gives You Energy!
The universal understanding is that cleaning up your digestion will give you more energy because your body doesn’t have to direct it’s attention to healing you. However, there is more to this. For example,
Structuring Your Workouts To Use That Energy!
Before I delve a little deeper into these fitness plans let’s look at a quick recaop of the Mesocycles, and why they are important:
BASE MESOCYCLE - For building aerobic capacity and General Physical Preparedness.
BUILD MESOCYCLE - Begin to develop Specific Physical Preparedness, raise exercise intensity, train strength through the force-velocity curve, and train pain tolerance.
PEAK MESOCYCLE - Refining skills, replicating and rehearsing ‘Race Conditions’, and truthfully asking yourself ‘Am I ready for this?’
RECOVERY MESCYCLE - Prioritise sleep, use both modern and ancient methods of sports/exercise rehab, and restructure the body with strength training.
This last point on restructuring the body with strength training, applies to everyone. Strength can mean different things to different people, you could use weights, or body weighted exercises to do this - it varies depending on: chosen sport or exercise regiment, athletic ability, personal experience, physical adaptability.
For Cardio-Based Plans you want to build up your aerobic capacity as one of the fundamentals.
For a Strength-Based plans, you want to make refining your lifting skills a priority once you reach the build and peak phases.
For someone Recovering From An Injury, you want to make schedulling your sleep, nutrition, and forms of both modern and ancient methods of exercise rehab and prehab.
There are many different ways to reach your goal if you:
Structure your sessions properly.
Know your approach.
make nutrition, sleep, and hydration important and practice them religiously.
Educate yourself enough to where you know how to execute on each session.
And set your goals and pivot accordingly if things don’t work out the first time round.
Bonus!
The reason the foods above are so bad for us is that they:
Are pro-inflammatory in nature.
Cause free adical damage, and thus, cell death (Apoptosis).
Cause cancer.
Cause malnutrition.
…And that’s it for today!
