Seasonal approach to training:

April - Aug are longest days of year so most time and best time for peak season (great point b/c you can't have peak all the time, body can't do all year long) add from my tri book he also has a good seasonal look

Clean Eating
It's not a diet it's a nutritional philosophy called "Clean Eating" where you simply avoid "Inflammatory Foods"
These articles completely shifted my whole view on foods with for simple rules.
Eat when ever you want and as much as you want except:
-No packaged foods (nothing in a box or a can)
-No dairy
-No wheat
-No sugar or artificial sweeteners

Swine Flu Prevention
FYI...Only certain people will have access to the swine flu (H1N1) vaccine~ elementary school children and healthcare providers. Those over 65 will be exempt as will most children over 10 years of age.
Dr. Vinay Goyal is an MBBS,DRM,DNB (Intensivist and Thyroid specialist) having clinical experience of over 20 years. He has worked in institutions like Hinduja Hospital , Bombay Hospital , Saifee Hospital , Tata Memorial etc.. Presently, he is heading our Nuclear Medicine Department and Thyroid clinic at Riddhivinayak Cardiac and Critical Centre, Malad (W).
The following message given by him, I feel makes a lot of sense and is important for all to know
The only portals of entry are the nostrils and mouth/throat. In a global epidemic of this nature, it's almost impossible to avoid coming into contact with H1N1 in spite of all precautions. Contact with H1N1 is not so much of a problem as proliferation is.
While you are still healthy and not showing any symptoms of H1N1 infection, in order to prevent proliferation, aggravation of symptoms and development of secondary infections, some very simple steps, not fully highlighted in most official communications, can be practiced (instead of focusing on how to stock N95 or Tamiflu):
1. Frequent hand-washing (well highlighted in all official communications).
2. "Hands-off-the-face" approach. Resist all temptations to touch any part of face (unless you want to eat, bathe or slap).
3. *Gargle twice a day with warm salt water (use Listerine if you don't trust salt). *H1N1 takes 2-3 days after initial infection in the throat/ nasal cavity to proliferate and show characteristic symptoms. Simple gargling prevents proliferation. In a way, gargling with salt water has the same effect on a healthy individual that Tamiflu has on an infected one....Don't underestimate this simple, inexpensive and powerful preventative method.
4. Similar to 3 above, *clean your nostrils at least once every day with warm salt water. *Not everybody may be good at Jala Neti or Sutra Neti (very good Yoga asanas to clean nasal cavities), but *blowing the nose hard once a day and swabbing both nostrils with cotton buds dipped in warm salt water is very effective in bringing down viral population.*
5. *Boost your natural immunity with foods that are rich in Vitamin C (Amla and other citrus fruits). *If you have to supplement with Vitamin C tablets, make sure that it also has Zinc to boost absorption.
6. *Drink as much of warm liquids (tea, coffee, etc) as you can. *Drinking warm liquids has the same effect as gargling, but in the reverse direction. They wash off proliferating viruses from the throat into the stomach where they cannot survive, proliferate or do any harm.
I suggest you pass this on to your entire e-list. You never know20 who might pay attention to it - and STAY ALIVE because of it.

Weightloss Social Network
I tried a couple health social networks and I have found DietTV to be the best so far. Although it's still in the beta stage they have a large community and great features like weight, activity, and food trackers that count up and graph your weightloss, calories burned and calories consumed.
