Live Now, Thrive Later - Eat
http://www.livenowthrivelater.co.uk/eat
Live Now, Thrive Later. Diets Don’t Work. Diets simply don’t work, at least not in the long-term, for most people. Spend a little time on the internet, and you’ll find lots of people claiming they’ve found “The one true diet”, with which you’ll achieve a great body, cure all known diseases, improve your athletic performance, etc, etc, all backed up with pages and pages of glowing testimonials. This is bad science. In reality, you have no way of knowing whether:. The change is a coincidence. It is for all...

Live Now, Thrive Later. Diet Debate: GMO Foods, Food Security and Scientific Progress. It’s been on my list to write a post on genetically Modified Foods for quite some time, so when I watched the recent Intelligence Squared US Debate on the topic, I thought it was about time I put fingertips to keyboard. If you’ve not yet seen the debate, it’s available on YouTube. It’s a little lengthy at just shy of two hours, but worth a watch:. My thoughts on the Intelligence Squared Debate. Perhaps, if there had be...

Live Now, Thrive Later. Genes and Health: Can you change your genetic destiny? Life just isn’t fair. It’s not unusual to hear of young, healthy, active people that don’t smoke and eat well, suffering from congenital heart attacks or rare forms of cancer, while others who’ve smoked and chugged down bottles of whisky daily live to become centenarians. It’s not just life expectancy either – your genes also determine your likelihood of being overweight/obese. And even how well your body will adapt to exercise.

Health, Fitness, and the Art of Car Maintenance

Live Now, Thrive Later. Health, Fitness, and the Art of Car Maintenance. Hat tip to the book Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. By Robert Pirsig which inspired the title of this post. I find that analogies are a very useful tool for conveying concepts and ideas, and have been using numerous car based examples verbally for years, so thought it was about time I put finger to keyboard. When it comes to healthy living, diet, and exercise, there is a lot of talk of finding a balance. Although treating...

Live Now, Thrive Later. In an ideal world, we would spend our lives moving and playing wild and free in the forest, lakes and mountains. Unfortunately, this life is but a distant dream for most of us (one you should never let go of! And as a result we have become weak and immobile through years of being made to sit still and behave. 1) Foam Roller Series. Unfortunately, the vast majority of us spend nearly all of our days stuck on our backsides. Using a foam roller or similar self massage tool may he...

Live Now, Thrive Later. Diet Debate: Raw Milk Revisited – Risk v Reward: Why Drinking Raw Milk is Like Riding A Bicycle! I’ve been meaning to write an update to my original post on dairy, raw or otherwise, and its place in a healthy diet. Since I watched the youtube video below. WARNING: I’m not actually recommending you watch the video – it’s 90 minutes of your life you’ll never get back! Why do I not recommend the video? One might have expected that a lawyer, whose full time occupation is to debate, wo...

Live Now, Thrive Later. Image courtesy of Keattikorn / FreeDigitalPhotos.net. There is now a plethora of information available on efficient running and swimming.

Please note, the recommendations below are for Road Racing Bikes. Balance yo...

What is Food? 21Convention Nutrition Talk Video Released
http://www.livenowthrivelater.co.uk/2014/04/what-is-food-21convention-nutrition-talk-video-released
Live Now, Thrive Later. 21Convention Nutrition Talk Video Released. In 2012, I was very pleased to be invited to speak at the inaugural UK edition of the 21Convention. Previous speakers have included the likes of Doug McGuff. So I certainly felt in esteemed company! In retrospect, I think I tried to fit too much content into the allocated 45 minute slot – it would have been better to spend more of the time on the basic “What is food? What is Food Series.
