SHAKEOLOGY

The Healthiest Meal of the Day


The Shakeology meal replacement drink by Beachbody is a delicious, daily nutritional shake that gently helps your body eliminate toxins while improving essential vitamin and nutrient absorption. Drinking a daily Shakeology shake has been shown to lower cholesterol, improve digestion and regularity, boost energy levels, and dramatically increase weight loss.
An independent, 90 day study was recently conducted where participants replaced one meal a day with Shakeology and began a moderate daily exercise regimen. The doctor who ran the scientific study observed the following about the participants:
* Total cholesterol levels dropped by an average of 30%, while bad cholesterol levels were lowered by 38%.
* They reduced oxidative stress by 90%, a major risk factor when it comes to degenerative diseases.
* Cardiovascular risk factors were reduced by an average of 24%.
Shakeology Ingredients
Shakeology contains a proprietary blend of digestive enzymes and prebiotics that help your body eliminate built-up toxins caused by eating today’s highly processed foods. It’s also packed with super nutritious, whole food ingredients that deliver the essential vitamins, minerals, and amino acids that your body needs to curb cravings, accelerating your body’s ability to shed stored fat.
If that wasn’t enough, Shakeology also includes more than 20 different antioxidants and phytonutrients which help reduce free radical damage that leads to heart disease, high blood pressure, heart attacks, and strokes.

Michi’s Ladder Foods Exposed: Barley

Michi’s Ladder Foods Exposed: Barley

by Lori Harden
Ok, here it is…the next Michi’s Ladder food: barley.  I honestly think that the only association I’ve ever made with barley would be another food-type product: beer.  I must say that I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it is actually healthy!  Barley is a highly nutritious cereal grain.  I try not to think about beer and cereal at the same time, for obvious reasons.  So, here is the low-down on another good-for-you food, courtesy of Beachbody’s Denis Faye.
Climbing Michi’s Ladder: Barley
By Denis Faye
Yes, beer is made from barley, but, no, that does not land beer in tier 1 of Michi’s Ladder. Barley is actually a highly nutritious cereal grain with a nutty flavor. But to be completely honest, most cereal grains can be described as having a nutty flavor, so you should probably try it for yourself. It’s a great way to get those complex carbohydrates without resorting to wheat.

The nutrition facts
The big draw when it comes to barley is the fiber hit—four times more than you’ll get from an equivalent amount of brown rice or oatmeal. One raw ounce is 99 calories, with 1 gram of fat, 21 grams of carbs, 5 grams of fiber, and 3 grams of protein. As for micronutrients, you’ll find 19 percent of the recommended daily allowance (RDA)* for manganese and 15 percent of the RDA for selenium, as well as thiamin, niacin, iron, magnesium, and phosphorus.
How do you eat this stuff?
Barley works pretty much like any other grain, so bread, pancakes, and muffins are all options. You can use cracked or flattened barley to make hot cereal. You can also add it to stews or soups to “beef” them up a little or just add flavor.

The Straight Dope: Attack of the Killer Chair

 

Attack of the Killer Chair

Quick Get out of that Chair!

An article on the evils of sitting appeared recently in the NY Times that begins with the line “the chair is your enemy.” It goes on to state how sitting can lead to diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and a premature death before concluding, “irrespective of whether you exercise vigorously, sitting for long periods is bad for you.”
With such a strong into I was left a little disappointed by the piece. I was hoping for, perhaps, a biomechanical analysis of how sitting shut down a critical function or put strain on something we hadn’t previously considered. But, alas, the findings were a bit more logical. The meat of the article simply showed the relationship between those who sat a lot compared to those who didn’t, which found that the former group was far less healthy. This was almost “duh files” stuff.

It finally bothered with some science, right near the end, by citing an example using lipoprotein lipase. The implication being that sitting shut down a large part of your metabolic processes that could, over time, lead to weight gain. And while this wasn’t the zinger I was hoping for it was still a nice reminder to take breaks at work and stop vegging out for hours in front of a TV or computer.

So while the chair might not be the demonic villain we were hoping for, it also shouldn’t be lionized in Al Bundyian fashion as the pinnacle of hedonism. The human body was designed for movement and use it or lose it is not just a cliché. But you knew that already, right?
