Quotes of the Day

Training loads must be increased periodically in order to avoid any stagnation in the athlete's progression. This work load could be increased by acting on one of the two factors that determine it (volume and intensity), or on both of them at the same time and always progressively, in small increments. The usual approach is to act on intensity. In order to work in a sufficient range of intensities, they must arrive at muscle failure between the repetition 6 and 12. If it's impossible to reach 6 consecutive repetitions, it's likely that they are working too intensely. If, on the other hand, they exceed 12 repetitions easily, they should add difficulty to the exercise. Once your training exercises are included, these should be maintained between 4 and 8 weeks before introducing changes. [2020] - Guillermo Seijas

Black cumin is a plant traditionally used in Middle Eastern cuisines that can boost AMPK. Daily black cumin consumption of 1 or 2 g has been found to significantly improve weight loss, cholesterol, triglycerides, blood pressure, and blood sugar control. The spice also lowers markers of inflammation, such as C-reactive protein, and has favorable effects on inflammatory conditions, such as asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, and a common cause of hypothyroidism called Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Black cumin also appears to help get rid of kidney stones and help with the symptoms of menopause. [2023] - Michael Greger
