Period 4 Principles of PE Now What?

The past two weeks we have looked at processed carbohydrates and the effects they can have on your overall health. The problem with being young and invincible is that the body can compensate for your poor nutritional choices to a point. It often takes a long time for the effects of poor nutrition to show up as a diseased state. This leads many people to the false belief that nothing is wrong.

The immediate effects of cutting out processed foods are increased energy, a clear mind, and better sleep. All of these things lead to better performance in the weightroom, the gym, and the classroom.

For this weeks blog, I want to know, what specific action are you going to take this week to cut down on your processed food consumption. Your action has to be realistic and one that you have complete control over. Don't tell me you are going to have you parents buy better food. That is a good start, but does not give you control over the process. Let me know if you have any questions.

  6. Tyler,
    Skim milk is worse than whole milk, in that it causes a larger insulin spike because it does not have the fat to slow down the blood sugar rush.
