January 18, 2011

By Dr. Andrew Weil

Vitamin D is an essential micronutrient with a central role in maintaining health. I recommend prudent daily sun exposure to support the natural production of vitamin D in our skin as one of the best ways to get enough of this vitamin. But with decreased daylight hours in the winter, you may be at risk for vitamin D deficiency. Decreased or insufficient levels of vitamin D have been linked to:

Nutrition and Working Out

August 24, 2010

DID YOU KNOW…..

That looking great isn’t just about working out? Believe it or not but eighty percent of it has to do with your nutrition, ten percent with training and 10 percent with genetics. Do you eat something before and after your workouts? Do you know that you have a forty-five minute window to replace the carbohydrates and protein you lost during your workout? Make sure that before a workout you have a carbohydrate (starchy), protein and fat and after your workout a protein and carbohydrate (starchy). Carbohydrates are your main fuel source and you need protein to repair and rebuild those muscle fibers that were damaged while working out. Without fueling before and after your workout you might as well forget working out! Like I tell many of my clients it’s like a car when you’re out of gas you can’t get anywhere. Everyone wants to see results from their workouts so make sure you’re fueled properly.
