Nutrition 101 / Fiber

Among the abundance of fads and buzzwords - fiber is high up on that list currently. So let’s dive into what it is, why you need it, and what it does.
Fiber is one of those unsung heroes of nutrition that so often gets overlooked. While most of us know we should eat our fruits and veggies, the significance of something so small like fiber intake can fly under the radar.
Fiber is a type of carbohydrate that the body can't digest. It comes in two forms: soluble and insoluble. Soluble fiber dissolves in water and can help lower blood sugar and cholesterol levels, while insoluble fiber adds bulk to your stool and aids in digestion. Both types are crucial for overall health. Sometimes it can make it easy to picture fiber like glue, it is helping bind things together while picking up other stuff along the way.

Just Start / "Walk Slowly - But Never Backwards"

Remember back in high school or college when you’d have to write a paper for an assignment? Even if it was just 500 words, starting the paper was always the hardest. I’m not alone in that feeling, right?
It’s interesting, because the same issue is often felt with any intimidating or daunting task we need or want to pursue in life.

But when it comes to ACTION, we generally falter after a few good college tries. This is the difference between motion and action.
Motions are strategizing, planning, and learning. And at the end of the day it doesn’t matter how much you do any of those things - they don’t produce results. Action on the other hand is what delivers an outcome.

Cold Plunge Benefits / Cryotherapy

By now I’m sure you’ve seen your favorite celebrity, an instagram influencer, and even your local gym utilizing a Cold Plunge. But what’s all the hype about? Is it legit? Or is it just a fad like the shake weight? (Was that even a fad?)

Although it’s trendy right now - the idea and use of cold water exposure is pretty old. All the proposed benefits have always been there but only recently are we seeing them being backed up by research. Back in the days of the Romans, the Greeks, and the Vikings of Scandinavian Culture they must have known that taking a dip in freezing cold water had it’s perks. Otherwise who the heck in their right mind would do it again right?
