Eating fat is not always bad! In fact, dietary fat is an essential nutrient that has various important functions in the body. Good quality fats supply the body with energy and are necessary for the absorption of the vitamins A, D, E and K. Dietary fat is also a key factor in satiety, meaning that when it is consumed as part of a balanced meal, it can help you feel fuller longer. This can actually help you control your appetite throughout the day.
The key is to know how to differentiate between good fats and bad fats. There are two types of fats, saturated fat that can be damaging to your health and unsaturated fat, which has health benefits. Unsaturated fats are found in plant-based products such as vegetable oils, nuts and seeds, peanut butter, almond butter and avocados. Fish is also a great source of these fats. It contains omega-3 fatty acids, which have been found to help reduce inflammation and are therefore helpful for people with osteoarthritis and other inflammatory diseases. Other good sources of omega-3 fatty acids include flaxseeds and flaxseed oil, canola oil and soybean oil.

Saturated and trans fats on the other hand can have damaging effects on the body. Excessive consumption of these fats can contribute to heart disease. Saturated and trans fats can block the arteries and raise the level of cholesterol in your blood. In order to reduce the amount of bad fat in your diet it is helpful to know which foods contain these fats. Some are hidden and it is therefore important to read the ingredients in your food. The most common sources are animal based products such as fatty meats and dairy products but also include processed foods, and coconut and palm oils. |

The Muscle Path
Heard about functional training? Wondering what the heck it means! Well it is all about doing exercises that benefit in everyday movements as well as in the fitness club. We live in an environment that is constantly changing and often times unstable. When we train the body in ways that simulates movements of everyday life it results in the body becoming more functional all the time.
In other words you look good and move well! Simply moving away from exercise with support into free standing exercises and combining them with unstable equipment will increase the functionality of the exercise.
Taking a traditional exercise like the vertical chest press, as you move away from the supported bench more stabilization of the shoulder girdle, pelvis and abdominal group will be required. Combining a tricep dip with the stability ball is another great way to make your exercises more functional, exciting and more intense
Pilates Path
The "Half Roll Back" develops the abdominal muscles in spinal flexion, increases stability of the spine and scapular during flexion and creates awareness of mobility in the pelvis. Start in seated position with the knees bent, feet on the floor hip width apart, pelvis in neutral, body flexed over the knees and arms extended towards the toes. Exhale and roll back into a C curve pulling the hip bones away from the thigh bones, maintaining a flat abdomen and softness in the shoulders. Inhale and contraction the abdominals and return to the starting position
