Recent research has confirmed that eating high fat, high carbohydrate fast food meals produces damaging inflammation and oxidative stress. This oxidative and inflammatory stress predisposes people to heart disease and stroke. Of concern is that these effects are longer lasting in obese people than in normal weight people.

The bottom line is that you should avoid high fat, high carb fast food meals and consume plenty of fruit and vegetables.

This is a great quote about running for fitness from fitness trainer Charles Staley

“I think the so-called “Runner’s High” is just your brain re-organizing it’s chemistry to protect you from what it thinks is you final demise. It’s basically a near-death-experience…40,000 years ago, if you’re running, it was for one reason and one reason only: something was chasing you. So don’t run. But you can push a truck…that won’t trick your brain into thinking that you’re about to die.”

I will be without a computer for the next few day, so I thought I would just like to wish everybody the best for the holiday season. Enjoy the food (but don’t go overboard if your trying to loose bodyfat) and the time spent with friends and family. Remember you can use this period as a training break or if you want to get some training in that isn’t going to put a spanner in everybody else’s day - do some short bodyweight workouts. Have fun!

A new study has reported that men aged over 40 who drink 5  or more cups of green tea a day had half the risk of developing progressive prostate cancer in comparison to men who drink 1 or less cups per day. I understand that 5 cups a day is a lot of green tea but I for one am going to increase my intake.
