Here’s a recap of the best health and fitness articles I’ve read over the past week.
Channa Serenity: Raw Vegan & Fitness Model
Channa Serenity is a gorgeous raw-food vegan athlete who takes her health very seriously. She doesn’t even partake in cheat meals!
Grocery Sale Cycles – When Do Things Go on Sale?
This is helpful month-by-month guide for purchasing all kinds of things at the grocery store, but the most useful for me are the lists of seasonal vegetables.
The FitDesk is a Space-Saving, Apartment-Friendly Exercise Bike and Laptop Desk
I would love to have one of these. At $229.99, they aren’t too expensive either. The article mentions that resistance can be set with dials, which could be a bit of let-down. I’d be interested in seeing how it actually feels on various resistance levels.
PaleoVeganology: Speciesism = Creationism; Treat It That Way
This article brought up some very interesting points about being vegan. Why should I have to explain myself for being vegan? Why don’t omnivores explain themselves for eating eat?
Markus Rothkranz: The Power of Raw Foods (1/2) – YouTube
I’ve never heard of Markus Rothkranz, but it seems that I should. I’m becoming more and more interested in raw foods and Markus looks to be well known in the community.
If you don’t have a heating pad nearby, but you have a sock and some dried rice or beans, you’re good to go!
10 Tips to Help You Find the Right Doctor
There’s one tip that caught my eye in this article – find a doctor who shares your beliefs. I’ve been looking everywhere for a list of vegan-friendly physicians, but no directories seem to exist.
How to make FAST Fake Bacon from coconut meat – YouTube
After finding Markus Rothkranz, I started following his YouTube channel and I came across this great recipe. I haven’t tried it yet, but I will. I miss bacon, but I don’t like any of the fake bacons I’ve had so far, so hopefully this will be the answer.
The Science and Practice of Low-Carb Diets – YouTube
I find it very interesting that Dr. Eric Westman from Duke University suggests that it’s ok to eat the Baconater, a nearly 1,000 calories sandwich from Wendys, as long as you remove the bun. I’m sure there are many other health professionals that would disagree with that. If you have time, listen to the entire 40 min. interview to see what you think. I admit that he makes some compelling arguments, but I don’t believe all of his claims.
Quickie Vegan Cookie Dough Ice Cream at Home
Before going vegan, my favorite item from Dairy Queen was the cookie dough Blizzard. This recipe sounds so easy, I think I’m going to be making it soon.
Squat Exercise Builds More Muscle, Burns More Fat
These are the reasons you should be doing the squat in your workouts. It’s such an important exercise!
Interactive, motion-sensing walls to motivate gym-goers
I guess this is cool. Seems gimmicky to me, but the idea of seeing what your body could look like if you continue to work out sounds really cool.
