Ok this article just blew me away because since evolution means that oranisms adjust over time to the environment they are in and the forces upon them there is new evidence that cells “When the cells are placed on a flat surface, they align themselves and form structures similar to a field of wheat where the wind has passed through: …
After watching this video I just want to go and explore!! How about you? Further references
Over the last weekend, I had an experience that made me realize how tiring and challenging it could be for parents to take care of their little ones. We attended the MK official Christmas lights switch-on, and I had to carry my child for about one to two hours. It may not sound like much, but when everyone around you …
I’ve always wanted to learn about Tai Chi but never found the time. I saw a great deal from TennisOne for a course teaching Tai Chi in relation to tennis. So I thought I would take this as an opportunity to learn Tai Chi while also improving my tennis game. Continually moving towards your goals is a principle of Cell …
In the last post I asked Why train your nerves? It was a precursor to explaining the value of a healthy and strong nervous system to athletic performance. In fact it is little known that the reason sedentary people improve so much when they begin exercising is because their nervous system adapts very quickly. The reason for the inevitable plateau is …
At university, I learnt how much exercise can do for Diabetes, particularly Type II. Since then I have spent a lot of time researching further to really understand the topic. It just sounds too good to be true. The great thing is that all the evidence backs up what I learnt. Since then I’ve been searching for the best way …
Just had to log this nugget. Exercise actually produces immediate changes to DNA. The amount of detail in this article is fascinating. Recording the epigenetic changes to muscle after exercise. Learn more about the effect of physical inactivity on disease worldwide References
Exercise has an impact on your health within minutes.

I just came across a fascinating article suggesting that Brief exercise reduces the impact of stress. It’s a potentially profound finding. I hope in time. It proves correct. it’s great to read about how far our testing practices have come aswell to be able to make these links.
It’s just occurred to me that I may have a way of expressing my view that there are basic movement patterns to each sport and activity. Consequently by learning these basic patterns we’d find all sports and activities easier and achieve higher skill levels sooner. That’s obviously a big ask but I got inspired whilst watching a bruce lee dvd …
I watched all the Bruce Lee films over the weekend. I just love his approach. I really relate to his approach. I didn’t realise but I’ve been putting a lot of the concepts into my tennis game recently. I was inspired to do even more. I really focused today on using my whole body. I started generating my swing from …
Just a thought but I was really active every day last week and by yesterday I felt that not only had I recovered but I’d now got so much more energy than I normally have at that time. I just kept wanting to go out and run for a couple of hours. Anything to be active. Even though I’d gone …
For this simple guide I was searching for references on stress and how exercise can help with it. I found some great articles but nothing really stood out to me. They either seemed to have too much depth or not enough. I’m thinking of stress because we’re all busy because we have more to do than we have time to …
I’ve just been reading a fascinating article at http://wholehealthsource.blogspot.com/2008/06/more-fat-soluble-vitamin-musing.html which in part makes a case for low levels of vitamin d being linked with higher incidence of cancer. Other vitamins and disease links are also put forward. I can’t help wondering though at our insistence that diet must be a fundamental cause of our problems. A show I watched last night hinted …
Ok I’m amazed again. I know it’s abit geeky but I’m just fascinated about the human body. I’ve just been genning up on insulin and boy has it taught me few things. For reference I have been reading a couple of articles on Wikipedia. One about insulin itself and one about insulin resistance. The article on insulin resistance linked to the one on …
