Your Body Fitness

A recent study found that those who took more breaks from sitting throughout the day had slimmer waists, lower BMIs, and healthier blood fat and blood sugar levels than those who sat the most. In short, the longer a person sits, the more likely they are to die an early death.

Raw pumpkin seeds contain essential fatty acids and beneficial proteins.

Pumpkin seeds are high in zinc, which is good for the prostate and building the immune system. They also contain fatty acids that kill parasites.

Experts note that the body starts to shut down after sitting for long periods of time. Importantly, key fat-burning enzymes simply start switching off. Even after just one day of sitting, fat-burning enzymes plummet by 50%, among other determinant health effects. Even 30 minutes at the gym is not enough to offset the detrimental effects of 8 hours of sitting.

Studies have found that obese pregnant women have more glucose and free fatty acids floating in the womb than normal-weight pregnant women, which can increase the risk of their children becoming obese later in life. Studies found that unhealthy, fatty foods affected the developing metabolic systems in a fetus' brain.

Did you know? George Washington Carver was largely responsible for popularizing the peanut as a food in America.

Truer words have never been spoken 😃 Sometimes the end goal can seem unreachable; impossible; too far away. But what about all the small steps that lead to the end destination? Use short and medium-term goals to help you achieve your long-term goal. Suddenly your perspective will change. www.onesmallstep.fit #goals #progress #health#fitness #onesmallstep #achieve (pic: http://www.healthfitnessreality.info/)

According to several studies, parents who ate with their family while sitting around a kitchen or dining room table weigh significantly less than those who eat dinner in front of the TV. Additionally, parents who stayed at the table until everyone was finished and had meaningful conversations also weighed less.

Peanuts contain about the same amount of protein as soy and are low in starchy carbohydrates.

The peanut is actually a legume, not a nut (which is why they are often roasted).

According to the journal Appetite, people who said that eating cake makes them feel guilty were less successful at losing weight while people who viewed eating cake as enjoyable were more successful.

As you can guess, I agree fully with this statement! Very true words; everybody has to start somewhere, and everybody's journeys are unique to them. It may only be One Small Step, but it's still a step forward. www.onesmallstep.fit #journey #progress #fitness

Peanuts are high in fungus and, often, pesticides. They do not contain any omega-3, which can contribute to distorting your omega-6:omega-3 ratio.

The temperature in a person's bedroom may help boost weight loss efforts. According to the National Institute of Health Clinical Center, people who slept in a 66° F room burned 7% calories while sleeping than those who slept in a warmer room. Colder sleepers burned more calories likely because their bodies were working harder to maintain a stable body temperature of 98.6°.

Top trainer, top motivator, top bloke!

Joe is a top man, genuine nice person, must be to put up with me. I go to the gym most days and work hard, but when I have my weekly session with Joe, I know the difference the next the day!

Joe has really helped me to understand how to exercise properly to help get results that I want. It's easy to go to the gym and feel like you are working hard but then I started to go to pt with Joe after one of my best friends recommend him and soon realised I wasn't pushing my self to anywhere close to where I should be at the gym. Great pt and highly recommended.

It's so refreshing to find someone, who accatuly cares about your fitness and is not just in it for the money and is 100% commited to help you progress and achieve your goals.

In the short time i've trained with Joe, i can already see a difference. its not just about the physical but the mental state. Joe pushes you beyond what you think you can do and after every session you come away feeling more motivated, energised and determined to do go further next time.

Had a great sit down chat with Joe Reeve today, listened to everything I had to say regarding food, workouts I am currently doing and problems I am having and he was able to refocus on how I look at eating and focusing on different workouts, and gave some great advice , highly recommend and thanks again for your time �

Great PT! Really motivating and pushes you to get results every session! Highly recommended

Exceptional value for money when you see your results, fair,firm and friendly all at the same time to help achieve whatever your goal may be, I gained 4st of muscle in 2 years! Amazing!!

Couldn't thank Joe enough for being such an amazing PT. not only does he train me, he's also become a good friend of mine through this. That's very rare. He pushes me, builds me with confidence and breaks down barriers I never thought I'd ever see down. I'm a handful and full of negativity - 45 minutes chatting about calorie counting and pushing me to reach my goals, I feel like a completely different person. The best motivational PT & friend I could ask for. Never stop being fab �highly recommend to anyone, any shape, any size. He will make you feel 100% physically and mentally. Much love man x.

Awesome trainer!! Joe clearly demonstrates his passion for the industry and is highly knowledgable in all areas, fitness, nutrition, well being and lifestyle management. He delivers awesome group exercise classes and hopefully Joe will start Monday night circuits again!!!
