According to many experts fish oil maybe one of the most valuable supplements for the athletic and non-athletic population. Some of the benefits include:

2) Turning off Lipogenic Genes – The genes responsible for fat storage.
3) Reduce inflammation caused by training.
4) Increased Cognitive function – Better focus when training, working & studying.
5) Increase Serotonin levels – Decreasing depression, anxiety and carbohydrate cravings.
6) Great stress fighter.

Read this article by Charles Poliquin for more information on the benefits of fish oil .

Should I Take Creatine?

January 22nd, 2011

Creatine is one of the most popular and controversial supplements on the market.  I am often asked by parents and athletes if  they should take creatine.  Most people have a very negative opinion of creatine, when in actual fact it may be one of the safest supplements on the market not to mention one of the most beneficial.  Creatine has been shown to not only improve performance but recent studies have indicated increased cognitive function with creatine supplementation.  For most people 3-5 grams of creatine per day is all they require, larger athletes or an athlete in a hard training phase my benefit from as much as 10 grams/day.  Watch these two videos:

Another Way to Reduce Your Risk Of…

November 10th, 2010

It’s a strange phenomenon. People are sooo much more interested in losing weight than their health.

I’ve seen it enough to know it’s true.

Articles about fat loss and six pack abs are much more likely to be read than an article on reducing your risk of heart disease.

So I urge you to take the time to think about the articles you read.

And I also urge you to take the time to read this brief one from my partners over at Prograde.

They reveal a very interesting study about multi-vitamins and decreases in heart attack risk.

PS – A great way to provide your body with the nutritional foundation you need each day is a Whole Foods based multi-vitamin. Prograde has a terrific one called VGF 25+ that is made from 25 veggies, greens and fruits.

The best part is you can try Prograde’s VGF 25+ for FREE! (There’s just a small S & H charge)

Well, the research is showing that it allows your body to burn fat and build muscle at the same time.

Talk about cool!

Here’s an easy-to-understand article on the subject from my partners over at Prograde.
