Trophology - the science of food combination.

A little organization when eating goes a long way on the road to optimal fitness.

Yes you read it right... there is an actual science to the way in which you eat food. Now I know there's always something isn't it? Who knew that by just shoving whatever sounds healthy in your mouth that you may still be doing that magnificent body of yours great disservice? You heard right... disservice, some of your favorite food combos, no matter how healthy they may seem to you, may be wreaking havoc on your bodies physiology, not because the foods themselves are UNhealthy but because your body just wasn't built to handle certain mixtures" if you would indulge the scientist in me for a moment. imagine your body a sophisticated laboratory one chemical is good, another is great, mix two that dont agree and well... kaboom! disaster strikes and that's where the good ol boys over at the trophology department come in... wanna learn more? check the breakdown for the rules of trophology:

1. Protein and starch don't mix and should not be eaten together. (FACT: worst combination of foods in the body)
2. Protein is best eaten alone or with vegetables.
3. Fruits should be eaten only with like fruits and veggies, if desired.
4. Melons are to be eaten alone.
5. Starches should be eaten alone or with vegetables only.
6. Desserts combine poorly with everything and should be eaten by themselves (Suggestion: instead of having a dessert right after dinner try making a meal of your sweets)

Pranayama - Breath and Energy Mastery

 



Pranayama, the formal practice of controlling the breath, lies at the heart of yoga. It has a mysterious power to soothe and revitalize a tired body, a flagging spirit, or a wild mind. The ancient sages taught that prana, the vital force circulating through us, can be cultivated and channeled through a panoply of breathing exercises. In the process, the mind is calmed, rejuvenated, and uplifted. Pranayama serves as an important bridge between the outward, active practices of yoga—like asana—and the internal, surrendering practices that lead us into deeper states of meditation.

 

 

Vipassana - Insight Meditation

Vipassanā (Pāli) in the Buddhist tradition means insight into the true nature of reality. A regular practitioner of Vipassana is known as a Vipassi (vipaśyin). Vipassana is one of the world's most ancient techniques of meditation, which was re-discovered by Gautama Buddha. It is a practice of self-transformation through self-observation and introspection to the extent that sitting with a steadfast mind becomes an active experience of change and impermanence. In English, vipassanā meditation is often referred to simply as "insight meditation".

 

 

High Intensity Interval Training - HIIT

  

HIIT is a form of training that involves changing your pace at different points throughout a workout. This type of training doesn't allow your body to adapt easily or get too comfortable with any one exercise while, simultaneously, increasing the calories you burn post-workout.
HIIT starts out with a short warm-up session followed by a short, high-intensity burst of energy followed by easy-to-moderate effort for the same amount of time. The high-intensity intervals call you to push yourself as hard as possible. The following low-intensity periods allow you time to recover. The pattern repeats until you finish with a cool-down period similar to your warm-up.
