Oil pulling for oral health
As people get proactive about health, they try to eliminate more and more chemicals from their environment. This means making smarter decisions about their food, drink, and self-care practices.

Phytates and phytic acid.
Phytic acid – the storage form of phosphorus – is one of those pesky "anti-nutrients" the Paleo community keeps telling you to avoid. It's often considered an anti-nutrient because it binds minerals in the digestive tract, making them less available to our bodies. Yet these same anti-nutrient properties can also help in the prevention of chronic disease.

All About Food Porn

Being lean shouldn't be an end to itself. Instead, it should be a "side effect" of a lean lifestyle. While this surprises a lot of people, here's a fundamental truth. How we live may be even more important than what we eat.
All About Honey & Bees
If you're looking for a local-source sweetener with some health benefits, try honey. Use honey sparingly, enjoying its antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, and thank the hard-working bees who brought it to you.

Resistant starch:
Resistant starch is a type of starch that isn’t fully broken down and absorbed, but rather turned into short-chain fatty acids by intestinal bacteria. This may lead to some unique health benefits. To get the most from resistant starch, choose whole, unprocessed sources of carbohydrate such as whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and beans/legumes.

All About Spinal Health
80% of adults report lower back pain at some point in their lives and 10-15% of all sports-related injuries involve the spine.

“I Know” Syndrome
Knowledge doesn’t change behaviours. So why try to know more? Maybe you need to do more instead.

All About Food Color Additives
Remember when you’d get done with a bowl of Froot Loops and the milk would be blue? Those were the days. But where did that color come from? And are we all going to regret slurping up that milk?

Blood tests & lab analysis:
Blood tests (aka blood work) can show us, obviously, what's in our blood. (And, by extension, what's in our bodies). That's because blood gives us insight into what we can't see from the outside. In this article we outline how it works and what you need to know.
All About Breakfast Cereals
When Neolithic farmers figured out how to cultivate wheat, millet, oats and other wild grasses some 10,000 years ago – they created the first steady food supply we’d ever known. We could actually grow food and store it! But a supply of barley for the winter is a bit different from the bulk pack of Cupcake Pebbles from Costco.
All About the Rotator Cuff
Many muscles coordinate shoulder movement. If they don't work together -- or more likely, if some muscles are strong and some are weak or inhibited, they can't work together effectively. The result: imbalance and eventually, injury.

All About Fat Loss
Carrying a lot of excessive body fat makes health, body composition, and athletic performance worse. But here's the problem -- collectively, we're not very good at losing fat either. We need a better solution. Knowing how fat loss works may be helpful.
11 questions for Kate Kline

All About Warming Up
If your idea of a warm-up involves a few pec flexes, ogling gym hotties as you lean on the treadmill, or just leaping right into that 300 lb bench press, you might want to rethink. A good warm-up can make you stronger, faster, and more mobile; and help prevent injury too.

If you want more simplicity in your nutrition, in your training, and, quite frankly, in your world, there's one thing you've gotta do. You've gotta declutter your mind. Here's how.
All About Fiber
If you're eating a standard Western diet, you're probably getting less than half of the dietary fibre you need to stay healthy (and despite this, you probably think you eat enough). Yet dietary fibre is crucial for GI health, staying lean, and preventing chronic diseases. Live longer and leaner via lentils!

Be your own nutrition expert
Need expert nutrition advice? Look no further than yourself. You've been eating since birth, after all.
All About Appetite Regulation
Ever wonder what makes you hungry? Why some foods look more appealing than others? Why you're always hungry for dessert?

All About Sprouting
If you remember elementary school, you probably remember some kind of experiment involving sprouting seeds. Perhaps you stuck a few bean kernels in a jar, kept them moist, and were rewarded in a few days with green shoots. Well, the same process works for making grains, nuts, and beans/legumes more digestible now that you're a grownup. Hey -- science works!
All About Eating Seafood
Some speculate that if it weren’t for seafood, we wouldn’t even be human, since our brains began to increase in size when we incorporated seafood and other meats into our diet.

What you eat is important. However, when you eat it can be just as critical.

All About Energy Balance
“Energy balance” is the relationship between “energy in” (food calories taken into the body through food and drink) and “energy out” (calories being used in the body for our daily energy requirements). This relationship, which is defined by the laws of thermodynamics, dictates whether weight is lost, gained, or remains the same. Control your energy balance, and you control your body composition.

You've probably heard of overtraining. In fact, it makes more sense to think about this phenomenon as "under-recovering". Why you should make recovery protocols part of your overall training plan.
“Good” vs “Too Good”

If you often grumble about not being full or always being hungry, you may have beachfront property in the world of negative dietary displacement. Are you relying on fake foods to meet your nutrient and satiety needs?
