Sarah Wilson - this blog makes life better, sweeter. About : Rabbit Food For My Bunny Teeth. Hello world, I’m Catherine. I am a 24 year old daughter, granddaughter, sister, niece, friend, girlfriend, graphic designer, hello kitty addict, blogger extraordinaire (or so I would like to think) writing to you from Orange County, California. I launched Rabbit Food For My Bunny Teeth on March 19, 2012. Why the crazy long bunny related name? I have always been obsessed with bunnies. They are the cutest little fluff balls I have ever seen! I became passionate about healthy eating after losing 80lbs with diet alone. During my weight loss journey, I adopted a mainly plant strong nutrient rich vegetarian based diet and try to eat mainly whole unprocessed foods. I stick to a diet rich in nutrients and vitamins from unprocessed whole foods, which keeps me feeling full and energized all day long.

Of course I’ll have my occasional processed junk food eating day, but it usually ends with me feeling sick, overly stuffed, and bloated. NBS | Welcome. Stretch Now - Hand Exercise.

A physically active body must achieve a stable balance around each active joint for top performance. Ligaments connect the bones to each other, and provide much of the joint's stability. Muscles are connected to bone by tendons, allowing for movement at the joints. Although the ligaments connecting the bones in the ankle are necessary for proper function, there are several muscles that also help support the ankle during any type of activity.

Building strength and proprioception, or special awareness, in these muscles helps to prevent injury and improve performance. Why is it important to keep the ankle strong? When an athlete performs any movement--whether running or jumping--the ankle and surrounding muscles are put under a great deal of stress. Proprioception Proprioception is the body's ability to realize its place in space. Balance Training Standing on one leg: Hold for 30 seconds, working up to one minute per leg. Strengthening Inversion Eversion. Ballet Shoes Pointe Shoes...And Adult Ballet Class: Use of the Theraband For Ballet Shoes and Pointe Shoes. There are many uses for the therabands, so I'll discuss a few here, focusing on the feet, toes and ankles.

If you are already doing pointe work, these exercises will enhance your precision of technique, save your calf muscles from over-work, and increase your strength in ballet foot positions. Most ballet stores carry some brand of stretchy bands, and they can be ordered on line as well. If you are in a pre-pointe class, or organizing your own pre-pointe practice, you can learn four basic exercises to strengthen the sole of the foot muscles, and then do them with a stretchy band.

Feet and ankles must be strong enough before starting pointe work, for slow releves through the metatarsal area, and slow controlled lowering, without any sickle in or out of the ankle joint. "Toe swapping" is done starting with the feet flat on the floor. Simply lift the big toes up, leaving the foot and the other toes flat. Do this 10 times, a total of twenty lifts.

Beginners yoga. The Thrive Diet: Amazon.co.uk: Brendan Brazier. The Thrive Diet is much more than just a diet book. The athlete/author Brendan Brazier has spent a life time researching nutrition for sports, seeking ways to improve his performance, and more importantly his recovery time, post exertion. He has addressed U.S congress on the subject of improving nutrition and his findings are not only relevant to athletes and those who take their exercise seriously, but to every person concerned about how what they eat affects their body, and even their mind. Since reading T.Colin. Campbell's The China Study, I've been searching high and low for recipes and ideas on how to adapt to a whole foods, plant based diet. I found Brendan Brazier's book advertised on the Colin Campbell web site and despite not being an athlete myself, decided it would surely have some recipe ideas I could use too.

The information in the first third of the book is extremely valuable, and forgive the pun, easily digestible. Clean Start: Inspiring You to Eat Clean and Live Well with 100 New Clean Food Recipes: Amazon.co.uk: Terry Walters. I actually checked this out from the library and after checking out a few recipes bought it from amazon. I was surprised at the $12.99 price from Amazon for a good hardcover version. Walters spends a few pages in the beginning explaining some of the benefits of a plant based diet as well as including some helpful tips for stocking a nice vegan friendly pantry. If you have been vegan for longer than a few months, much of this is basic. If you are someone interested in moving towards a plant based diet, then this section is full of great information. The recipes are all vegan and gluten free. They are not all intended for the 'Clean Program' so don't mix the titles up. The recipes are brilliantly sorted by season. So I have added this amazing cookbook to my "Highly recommended vegan recipe books" along with the aforementioned.

There are 100 recipes, but there are not many recipes for spreads, vegan mayo, frosting, and dressings which many other vegan cookbooks throw in to up the recipe #.

What To Eat, What To Avoid. Many people love the Paleo food list because it gives them a quick overview of the wide range of food they can healthily enjoy on a Paleo diet. In spite of that, some people are still confused by what’s off limits and what exactly should be avoided to promote optimal health. Here you’ll find a simple list of the foods and food categories to incorporate in your diet and those that you should be avoiding. What to eat Meat;Fowl;Fish and seafood;Eggs;Vegetables;Green leafy vegetables;Root vegetables and tubers;Good fats (coconut oil, lard, tallow, olive oil, clarified butter, …);Fruits (with moderation);Nuts and seeds (with moderation);Herbs and spices; The following graphic illustrates the main foods to include in your diet. The items at the base of the pyramid should constitute the bulk of your calories, along with good fats and the items at the top of the pyramid should be consumed with moderation.

What to avoid Conclusion. Paleo 101. The following is geared towards people who want to try out a Paleo diet and who just want to quickly know what they should and shouldn’t do. No background science here or lengthy explanations, only 15 easy rules to follow to kick start your Paleo journey. It’s up to you to decide to what extent you want to follow those rules, but if you follow them 100% you can be assured that you are eating the best food for your body and greatly investing in your long term health and well-being. A Paleo diet should be high in fat, moderate in animal protein and low to moderate in carbohydrates.

Calorie counting is not encouraged, neither is portion control.Eat unlimited amounts of saturated fats like coconut oil and butter or clarified butter. Beef tallow, lard and duck fat are also good, but only if they come from healthy and well-treated animals. Beef or lamb tallow is a better choice than lamb or duck fat. Diabetes And A Paleo Diet. Every minute, three people in the U.S. are diagnosed with diabetes. Unknown in traditional cultures but an increasingly serious epidemic in the modern world, diabetes affects more than 25 million people in the U.S. alone, with 79 million more who are pre-diabetic or have other diabetes-related metabolic conditions. Unsurprisingly, behind the barrage of dire statistics lurk the usual culprits for “diseases of civilization:” the poor diet, environmental toxins, and sedentary habits of the modern world – and a mainstream medical establishment too tied up in conventional wisdom to face the problem effectively.

Diabetes is a disease caused by a modern lifestyle that your body simply wasn’t designed for. Paleo offers an alternative: a lifestyle that supports your body, rather than poisoning it, allowing you avoid the triggers of diabetes, or effectively control the symptoms if you already have it.
