Regardless of genetics or environment, almost everyone can improve their skin and overall health. This article is not about skin creams or supplements in general but one component, the protein collagen . You can then decide to save money and do more exercise instead of spending money on any collagen products. Enhancing skin health can be achieved in a variety of ways, some of which have little effect and others that have a significant one. Furthermore, given the time and mone

Dem bones dem bones dem dry-bones, cos you don't do impact train-ing. Hear the word of the science! (I bow down on one knee to James Weldon Jonhson , an incredible human and the writer of Dem bones). MYTHS ABOUT IMPACT TRAINING All of the following statements are incorrect for a typical human body with no inherited or self-inflicted health concerns. I'm also assuming the impact training does not include a medium-sized Rhino. 1. It damages and weakens your bones. 2. It is har

The fitness business is filled with misinformation. Much of it is internet-based nonsense. However, some of the knowledge is still taught in schools, other educational institutions, and even fitness training programmes. Meh. I frequently have to correct doctors, trainers, and other health experts (who are well above my pay grade) on this subject. I just heard a coach on TV, who works for a large sports team, describe how he removes lactic acid from muscles. He undoubtedly mak

Do you want peak fitness, longevity, age reversal, disease risk prevention, increased healthspan, enhanced brain health, and a powerhouse body? Then you need to develop your fast-twitch muscles! The primary method for developing type 2 muscular fibres is plyometric training (fast and explosive). Plyometrics cause you to tire in seconds. At 51, I have more type 2 muscle than I did in my twenties! There is a common notion that as we age, we should avoid plyometric activities. I

Getting rid of the pram was one of my best moves as a single parent. I was experiencing despondency as a single parent to my six-year-old, three-year-old, and newborn. When I had a pram to push, it was difficult, if not impossible, to perform many family activities. I was deeply saddened that I couldn't provide kids the experiences that two or more adults can. Let alone interact with them individually. For example: The safety of school runs on uneven paths alongside a road fu

Until recently, as a typical thoughtless male human, I had no idea how difficult it is for women to exercise through their menstrual cycle. I apologise for my lack of concern and foresight. To compensate for this oversight, I hope you are able to benefit from my basic approach below. Drop some marbles behind you! If you're a male, you simply train. If you have periods, there is a lot more going on in your body biochemically that can cause problems! Men wrote "the medical text

If you are a fitness enthusiast, athlete, doctor, or biochemist, you may have heard of HGH. If you haven't already, the time has come! Let's take a look at this amazing protein and how we should try to boost it naturally. These lucky super heroes have 10 years of lovely HGH ahead of them! HGH is a protein secreted by the pituitary gland at the base of your brain. You have high levels in your youth, which peak around the age of sixteen. It progressively diminishes between the

From the last calorie eaten, a simple guide to fasting (please also refer to my fasting strategies guide). Unless you have cultural or religious fasting hours, you are free to fast whenever and however you want. Every day, twice a week, every fortnight, or once a month. You can also choose the length of each fast. The results are proportionate to the quantity you fast. If combined with exercise, even more so. I'm going to lay my head on the chopping block: "In terms of least
