Why Can’t Fat People Lose Weight and Will Exercise Help?

Paul Rogers — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 05:52:28 +0000

You will notice that headline said: “Why Can’t Fat People Lose Weight?” rather than: “Why Fat People Can’t Lose Weight”. The second headline implies that it’s all over and if you’re fat you have no hope of slimming down — permanently. But that’s not the question because fat people definitely can lose weight. It happens [...]

Sitting Bull: How Sitting Affects Cardiovascular Risk

Paul Rogers — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 00:10:37 +0000

Now Sitting Bull was the famous Native American chief who defeated General Custer at the Battle of Little Bighorn. But that’s not what I’m going to talk about here. Take this quote for example from ABC Australia and Professor Marc Hamilton, a researcher into the dangers of “sitting”. “The studies show sitting for long periods can [...]

Weights or Aerobics for Fat Burning? It’s All About Energy Expenditure

Paul Rogers — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 04:13:31 +0000

I’m always amazed at how easily nonsense gets a hold in the fitness community and spreads like wildfire. One concept that has received widespread dissemination over a decade or longer is that weight training is better for fat loss than aerobic training. Various ideas about this have been propagated, including more muscle means more resting energy expenditure, [...]

What You Need to Know About Healthy Bones

Paul Rogers — Mon, 21 Mar 2011 00:22:55 +0000

Worrying about their bones is not something that teenage girls give high priority to – not in relation to how strong they are going to be in 20 years anyway. Nevertheless, building strong bones in adolescent and teenage years is crucial to having strong bones throughout life and into old age. Some older men and [...]

How Physical Activity Prevents Lifestyle Disease

Paul Rogers — Sun, 19 Dec 2010 23:50:32 +0000

Compared to how humans lived prior to civilization, and even how people lived up until the present century – and some still do – we in the developed nations move very much less. It may be obvious, it may be overstated and it may seem trivial in the scheme of healthy living, but it is [...]

All About Energy Systems for Physical Activity

Paul Rogers — Sun, 07 Nov 2010 22:56:38 +0000

Introduction to energy systems When we exercise, depending on intensity and duration, fed state and other variables, a mix of energy systems is used, but often one dominates, depending on the nature of the activity. Food is fuel, and understanding the principles of refueling and types of fuels required for particular activities is important in [...]

Best Diet Before and After Prostate Cancer

Paul Rogers — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 06:46:26 +0000

Much more has been written about dietary prevention of prostate cancer than about what to do after a diagnosis of prostate cancer. The approaches could very well be similar. However, in this small summary, I’ll look mainly at dietary approaches post prostate cancer diagnosis. Dietary Prevention Somewhat oddly in my view, most of the dietary [...]

The Basics of Longevity, Anti-Ageing and Life Extension

Paul Rogers — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 00:02:56 +0000

Theories of anti-aging and life extension abound. Genes no doubt have a major role to play, and aging seems to be a programmed genetic decline that is inevitable. Yet the fundamental theory that interests us here is the idea of accumulative environmental damage to DNA, chromosomes, cells and cell reproduction over time, mostly caused by [...]

High Meat Diets Linked to Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Paul Rogers — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 00:40:06 +0000

In this study from France, 67,581 middle-aged women (40-65) were followed for 10 years, while their diet and disease status in relation to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) were recorded regularly.

Maintaining the Ageing Brain for Wellness

Paul Rogers — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 05:07:51 +0000

The brain wears out; it’s as simple (or as complex) as that. The ageing brain has a propensity to lose function, but you can do a lot to slow or halt this progress. Various dementias and Alzheimer’s disease are possible outcomes. Both result in substantial and progressive loss of mental capacity — and in the case [...]
