Translation: Is gluten linked to neurological disorders?

Several research studies suggest that in approximately 50% of cases tested in the studies, people with gluten sensitivities also experience some form of neurological disorder. That’s not to say that it’s true in 50/100 cases as much as it is for 50,000/ 100,000 cases however it does pose some question and consideration as to whether eating gluten is really worth it.
 

Is gluten linked to disorders of the nervous system?

In 1999 researchers Davies-Jones, Gibson, Hadjivassiliou, Lobo, Milford-Ward and Stephenson found indications that there was a positive correlation between sensitivity to ingested gluten and undiagnosed neurological illnesses. Gluten sensitivity can be detected by measuring the markers ( IgG and IgA – Antigliadin antibodies )of the autoimmune functions the body generates to respond to bowel irritation caused by gluten.

How to lose a stone in ten days

Lose 1.4lbs per day. End of.

But seriously, a stone in ten days, if you've got it to lose, isn't out of the question.

I've written about environment in relation to health, fitness and fat loss before but it really does explain a lot and is an easy way of visualising and motivating yourself with your lifestyle changes.

Monday Motivation (on a Thursday)

I may be appealing too much to the Facebook generation here. I sometimes forget that not every uses social networks!

Neither of those sit quite right with me. The little word: Hope.

Fat Loss Made Simple

Eat Less Move More.

That rubbish went out the window years ago. Yes, ok, I concede: this may produce some short term improvement in body composition. Much the way annorexia will result in fat-loss. However, considering eating disorders - this approach will also lead to catabolism (break down) of essential nutrients such as proteins and fats important for cell structures so that your body can keep moving.

Furthermore and much more simply: if you eat less, eventually you're going to get hungry. And who wants to be hungry? So let's forget that and put that myth to bed once and for all.

Is your food making you sleepy?

Imagine these two situations:

The afternoon lul around 3-4pm where the day is dragging, the office is hot and you just want to doze off.
A hyperactive five year old that’s just had a bag off sweets and is bouncing off the walls

Is Personal Training Ruining Your Workout?

If you really, really want to achieve some results and really, really want to get fit and build the body you’ve always wanted then WHY on earth would you train 1:1 with a personal trainer? The fitness industry keeps this little gem under its hat because so much money is made every year from personal training that it would be counter productive to show you a better way to train.
I’m going to take a lot of flak for this but it needs to be said. So, is your personal trainer ruining your chances of being fit and healthy?

Absolutely.
