24.01.2022 What does health & fitness really mean to you? Many people follow the trends of new diets, exercises, routines and lifestyles for various reasons. Looking like the model in the magazine, to get a body like the kardashins, to pick up, to be admired. These are all motivational goals but should not be our overall focus.

Y...our friends, role-models and neighbours all respond differently to different food, exercise and events. In order to be successful in achieving your goals, you must understand your body. Begin exploring yourself with these few questions... Which foods are you allergic too, causing bloating, reduces energy or causing pain? Are you sleeping enough? Is your body overly stressed?

24.01.2022 Sugar cravings #1 Sugar is part of the carbohydrate macronutrient family and is vital for life. Only small amounts is actually needed for brain function and body function, the rest being used for little boost of energy and excess being converted into fat. Modern day food industry manufacture packaged food that has high sugars in them, coming from various sources such as corn syrup, glucose, starch additives, emulsifiers, sorbitol, and other additives. These causes an abundan...ce of sugar, especially with modern food culture of quick & easy meals. Short term effects make you feel happier, releasing dopamine in the brain, making you more energetic. Long term effects increase blood pressure, increase insulin resistance and lead to sugar addiction, thus eventually obesity. There are many ways an individual can take to reduce sugar cravings and be healthier. One aspect of sugar craving stems from the adrenal gland sending messages in order to get more nutrients through food. To combat this, it is recommended to increase potassium intake which has shown to reduce sugar cravings. Implementing darky leafy vegetables, avocados and mushrooms can increase potassium intake and provide a better alternative of nutrient rich food for your body. For those who are aiming for a health life, replace your process foods with whole foods and avoid the quick and easy meals. Persistence is key! MAINA LIFE

23.01.2022 Sometimes its not our bodies that hold us back, but our minds. The illusion of limits are set psychologically through past results and nay-sayers. Reach new bounds by believing and pushing yourself. Coaches and personal trainers aim to help achieve these goals, motivating until success has been achieved.

23.01.2022 Untold story of a vegan legend, proving that age is no excuse. Jim Morris (1935-2016) is 1972 Mr. America and Mr. Olympia Masters of 1996, whilst being a vegan. The misconception of vegans are that they do not get enough protein for muscle building. Recent studies have shown that low-protein diets can still retain muscle mass and be lean compared to high-protein diets. Personally, more investigation is required to understand how low-protein diets affect muscles and absorpti...on of nutrients is more crucial then fitting your macros. My goal one day would to try a vegan or vegetarian lifestyle and test Jim Morriss way of life. Respect to this Man!

23.01.2022 Lets fix this together. Advice and guidance on dieting, exercise and nutrition here and at Muscle Pump Supplements

23.01.2022 Common Mistake: stretching before workout. Listen to the experts in this short video. Summary: Do dynamic flexibility/stretching to activate muscles and complete static stretching at the end of a workout

22.01.2022 COFFEE ADDICTION: Yes, you can get addicted to caffeine, as much as you can get a sugar or drug addiction. Addiction is typically formed by the release of pleasure chemicals known as "DOPAMINE". When released, dopamine gives a sense of happiness, causing you to want this sensation. As sugar releases dopamine when eaten, so does caffeine but with a false report. Caffeine stimulates a production of adrenal hormones and neurotransmitters throughout the body. Some hormones relea...sed are adrenalin, cortisol (stress) and dopamine. This tells the body to increase energy levels through insulin. Cells and muscles get depleted of their stored energy, so after the coffee effect wears off, your body is in a much worse shape then before. Symptoms of coffee addiction are lack of focus, low motivation, insomnia, depression, anxiety, irregular heart beat and sleepiness. Share for more about coffee effects and beating coffee addiction.

21.01.2022 No-calorie Sugar, is it for you? Stevia and Equal claim to have a no calorie sugar replacement. Both products are modified sugar molecules, having alcohol substituted glucose or glycoside. Positive application of modified sugars have demonstrated increase in weight loss, weight management, decrease in blood pressure and helpful for diabetes 2. These benefits were supported by studies involving controlled use of modified sugars, where overeating did not occur. Sweetness of m...odified sugars is up to 200x that of sugar, causing our body to adapt to the sweetness and crave it more. Sensitivity becomes blocked, requiring more sweetness factors to achieve the same taste. Eventually, modified sugar users are having more and more, no longer having it in a controlled manner and potentially more than if they had raw sugar (glucose). Overeating a non-calorie sugar is actually worse than normal sugar. Excess of modified sugars can several affect metabolism pathways leading into multiple metabolic disorders such as diabetes, obesity and insulin resistance. Other side effects of cancer, loss of female fertility, diaherra and headaches can come from artificial sugars. From experience, cutting all artificial sugars from the diet helped improve overall physique, flattening my abdominal section, lose of love handles. Stabilizing insulin responses and a new respect for taste. These days artificial sugars (modified sugars) are easily added to many products to help them taste better and sell more of. Know what you are eating and read the ingredients carefully. Recommendations are to have controlled amounts of raw sugar rather excess of modified sugars. Maina Life

19.01.2022 For anyone trying to lose fat, building muscle, creating a healthier lifestyle and prevent nutrition related diseases: Every body is different, being comprised of different habits, genetics, tolerances and preferences, so dont follow a diet designed for another. There are many diets and body types out that can confuse you. Spend some quality time assessing yourself, select a body type that suits you and stick to it. ... Persistence is the key to successfully achieving goals. Ups and downs, dont let it deter you from your long term objective. Listen to Dr. Oz for a snippet of possible bodies and for more types of diets, comment below.

18.01.2022 Stabilise your health by including natural ingredients. Cinnamon doesnt just add taste, it helps increase your metabolic power especially when it comes down to burning fat. Most people do not associate anti-inflammation with fat loss. There is a link between anti-inflammation and the hormones released to prevent fat metabolism. By incorporating herbs and spice that have anti-inflammation properties, it allows the body to focus on burning fat rather than killing foreign intruders to the body (immune system). More information about this will be released on @billygiordimaina page, so follow for more! #nutrition & #health

17.01.2022 Nutrition for your children, for growth, for healthy lifestyle and for you! Jamie Oliver has dedicated his life to prevent food related deaths and it all begins from early development. Our kids are growing up in a society that based on processed food, added sugars and fast food. With minimal knowledge of how food actually works, most of our children do not know how to COOK TO SURVIVE. Lets get everyone to learn the fundamentals of cooking and eating fresh. Lets make it fun again! Bring back the culture. Jamie Oliver #Foodculture #MainaNutrition #foodlifestyle #freshproduce #sustainable #eatforgrowth #preventingobestity #watchJamie #cookingskills

16.01.2022 Healthy liver, healthy life. Are you killing your liver? Alcohol, sweets and medications are common in todays society. For a fun and healthy life, a balance is needed. Binge drinking and eating and relying on medication can deteriorate your liver and kidneys. How? Basically, your inputting large amounts of dense toxic ingredients in your body. The body can handle this by decomposing them into resources or non harmful molecules But if we binge or over work our livers, it wi...ll eventually breakdown like a machine. Drink more water to dilute the work on the liver and allow it to breakdown food, dont binge on alcohol, medications and sweets but spread them out when possible and provide your body with the right nutrients (vitamins and minerals) from non-process fibrous vegetables. By being aware of your liver health, you can expand your life span by 20 years and reduce chances of developing diseases. I leave you with one fact, given by Jamie Oliver. Our children growing up in a processed food society have shorter life spans than older generations. And this is largely due to our food culture!

15.01.2022 Ever wondered why coconuts products became popular in the health industry? Because of the Medium chain triglycerides (MCT) that increases fat-burning potential. From coconut oil to coconut water, coconut is the greatest renewable source for MCT but only contains 15% by mass. By having a product from @onnit, the great tasting fat burner can be found in higher amounts and added to everyday food products to enhance taste and fat-oxidation. Personally, I have it first thing in the morning with my coffee, starting my day of well! For more information, follow ig: @billygiordimaina or check out Muscle Maina on facebook

12.01.2022 Digestion and Liver Health, just add fibre. Fibre is a carbohydrate source that is non-digestable for humans since we lack the certain enzymes to break it down. It can help sustain pro-bacteria or the good bacteria in our digestive system and acts as a buffer for nutrient absorption. Adding fibre in your diet, along with other macros of protein, fats and carbs, will slow the intake of nutrient absorption. Since fibre can not pass through our digestive lining, it slows the tr...ansfer process of your other energy sources. Some benefits of this occurring is proper digestion of food and a longer lasting feeling of a satisfied appetite. At the end of the day, your guts are healthier shown by a solid feaces release. Get on top of your local green vegetables to obtain best results, starting with asparagus, broccoli, avocado, brussels, beans and spinach. #localproduce #fibreforlife #nutrients #MainaNutrition #Mainlife #foodforlife #digestivehealth #cleanyourliver #dailydetox #greenforlife #buygreens #Greenwithenvy #fightingobesity #healthylifestyle

09.01.2022 Coffee facts: The three main stimulants that cause you to rush to get a latte in the morning are: Caffeine, theophylline & theobromine. Caffiene and theobromine have similar effects, causing the burst in energy and short-term benefits, but come with many long-term side effects. Theophylline is the chemical causing the disturbance in sleep pattern. Share for more facts about coffee that you were not aware of

09.01.2022 Simple Trick to Enhance Fat-loss and Health with L-Carnitine. If you take no other supplement for fat loss, take some L-Carnitine. Many fat burners use this as a component, with its ability to transport fatty acids into the mitochondria. Basically it transports fat to the furnace! Found in high amounts in red meats and diary products, it has been part of the homosapien diet for thousands of years. Yet taking it as a supplement, you dont have the additional saturated fats an...d other unnecessary harmful chemicals. L-Carnitine is a health supplement that has thousands of research articles that have been linked to many benefits: help build muscle, strengthen bones, lower Cardio vascular Disease (CVD), supports kidney metabolism, increase brain function, supports immune system, increases fat metabolism and lowers effects of mental disorders.

09.01.2022 Society term of steroids is mislead that a hard working, dedicated bodybuilder is negatively viewed but overuse of steroids and their derivatives in the beauty industry is appropriate. Dont play the blame game. Get up from your bottoms and be active. Follow those who lead by example!

09.01.2022 Cant get your mind of sugar. The new addiction that is killing us, especially our children. Sugar addiction is more common then most drug addictions, leading to diabetes, insulin resistance, metabolic disorders and CVD diseases. What can we do about it? In modern society, we are constantly around food. Smelling and seeing food begins the problem. Our body sends signals expecting sugar, causing us to want sugar. Whilst this occurs, the bodys digestive pathways begin, releasi...ng hormones (i.e. insulin) to tackle the expected sugar rush. As soon as this occurs, we reduce our fat metabolism upon expectations. Preventing this is difficult and takes time for your body to adjust its adaptive behaviours. Though, how can we truly begin reducing our sugar intake when most generic products supplement sugars in through natural or artificial sweeteners. Consumers are not aware of what is truly in their food and our children are growing up expecting sweeteners in all their products. Our food culture, being passed down, are causing us to have decreased sweet receptors thus spread the illusion that we need more sugars. One thing I ask for you to begin, read nutrition values and know what you and your children eat! #foodforlife #MainaLife Jamie Oliver #healthyhabits #foodculture #fightingobesity #healthyheart #healthylifestyle #saveourchildren #nosugar #sugaraddiction #FF #likeforlike #MainaNutrition #MuscleMaina #problems #happy #CVD #change

07.01.2022 Cant get rid of that belly? Large waist? Always craving sugar? You may be insulin resistant. With the abundance of carbohydrates and sugars being exposed to us, it is no wonder why obesity and CVD are on the rise! Ceral, oats or bread for breakfast, followed by lunch, more for dinner and dont forget those muffin snacks. Insulin is an enzyme released by the pancreas that attaches to all cells to release the sugars from within. Insulin resistance occurs when the sugars are n...ot being released efficiently due to insulin becoming ineffective to the receptors. By eating so much sugars in a day, over a long period of time, insulins begin to lose its purpose. Your body adapts to expecting sugar readily, so why would it need insulin. Ways to reverse the process is to reduce excess sugars, this will be challenging at first since the body will response to wanting more sugars. Also, increase lipoid acid, add cinnamon to meals, take zinc and fish oil (EPA &DHA) supplements. By doing this, insulin can become more active to help you burn fat, reduce leptin resistance (hunger hormone) and reduce Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). #insulinresistance #MainaLife #fightingobesity #healthylifestyle #ATPscience #fatburning #CVD #life #FF #Nutrition #fitnessmodel #healthscience #sugar #fats #leptin #insulin #glucose #PCOS #like4like #shredding #hearthealth #heart #burnfat #cardio

07.01.2022 SEROTONIN - known as the happiness molecule. This chemical is heavily researched since its a remedy to treating depression and anxiety. But what muscular benefits can it bring? Now common knowledge, serotonin assists in relieving stress and helping one go to sleep. Exercise, diet, and sunlight can increase your levels of serotonin. For fitness fans, getting adequate sleep for muscle repair is crucial for the body and mind. So by implementing appropriate levels of this compo...und through diet can help muscle growth and repair. Turkey, bananas, milk and nuts can increase the intake but the body can synthesise it from the basic amino acid trytophan.

01.01.2022 Supporting evidence on why eggs should be incorporated in the diet. Study shows decrease in cancer development upon those who eat eggs regularly. Yolk of an egg contains a vast range of nutrients naturally designed to give the essentials for life. Common reason why most people dont eat eggs is due to cholesterol, but is cholesterol really bad for you? Our cells require good cholesterol to give it structure and allow nutrients to be transported in and out of the cells. Too m...uch of bad cholesterol can cause blockage of the arteries and loosen our cell structure. These bad cholesterol are most common in the red meats and processed foods we eat today, not so common in eggs. Cholesterol is a crucial starting molecule that turns into multiple hormones such as testosterone, oestrogen and more. For a healthy individual, eggs containing good cholesterol will help balance your hormones throughout the day, whilst giving you essential vitamins and minerals. How do you like your eggs?
