FAT & FITNESS

Fat & Fitness have often thought to be a contradiction to one another, because the allopathic medical profession and all these national institutions say that ‘you have to give up fat! It’s a killer!’

And yet the true scientific data just doesn’t seem to back up this claim.

For your Fitness to be effective - before, during, and after your sessions - the human body needs nourishment from essential nutrition, including your macros!

You need fat to nourish your cell membranes, your spinal column, your brain, and the rest of your nervous system to function optimally (or at all!)

Cholesterol, vitamin D, calcium, magnesium, all of these essential nutrients need fat to function properly within your body, so when you see someone telling you to give up fat (in particular, cholesterol, saturated, and omega 3’s), you shouldn’t take them seriously.

One of the main bodily systems you use during any type of physical activity is your nervous system! And if you don’t nourish it with the proper nutrition and rest, then you will eventually break down your nervous system to the point where you start getting neurological symptoms, or worse, neurological diseases.

Look after your body properly, especially when planning your exercise and what nutrition it needs!
