Peter Snell - heart disease?
There is an increase in evidence showing an association between excercising hardout and damaged hearts.
New Zealands greatest athlete, Sir Peter Snell, has been stopped in his tracks with heart problems.
Even though his heart is large due to a lifetime of cardio exercise it can only pump out a third of what it should
Not everything we believe is true and we must relook at and correct our belief system.
Here are some examples of incorrect things we need to correct
a)Exercise is good for your heart.
b)So... exercising harder must be even better!
c)And then... when I can do that, I'll exercise even harder which will be even better than that!!
There are studies done that show small areas of cell death in the heart during pro-longed extreme workouts.
Im not saying that excercise isnt good for you. What i am suggesting is keep your exercise in perspective. Most people think especially if you are really big that you have to exercise to lose your weight but i would cut out carbohydrates until i got down to a level where i could do light exerciise like walking maybe 2 to 3 times a week so that it wouldnt be to hard on my body.
I have found that cutting out carbs helps the body release some of that energy you have been collecting(body fat).
Carbs raise blood sugar which triggers the release of insuln which prevents you burning fat for fuel.
Your muscle cells will finally get a decent feed.
You'll loose your craving for bread and cookies and you'll get your energy back.
And then.... guess what?
You'll actually feel like doing something physical (It's your bodies way of burning off all that excess energy)
The first carbohydrates I would introduce back into my diet would be the low calorie vegetables like broccolli, cauliflower, asparagus etc.
Then berries and nuts.
Then fruit.
Lastly (and only if I really needed it to fuel a big exercise program) the high calorie stuff like bread, pasta, spuds, kumara, rice etc.
It's all about balance.
Have a great day
Marty.
