These connective tissue fibers - primarily collagen - form sheaths or bands beneath the skin to attach, stabilize, enclose, and separate muscles and internal organs.

  • Good thing I quit coffee Caffeine stimulates neuron activity in the brain in which neurons send messages to the pituitary gland to stimulate the adrenal glands, which then produces adrenaline and cortisol. ... If your adrenal glands are fatigued, then caffeine can cause your adrenals to overwork to make more cortisol and burns out your glands
  • The more exercise people get, the less their cells appear to age. In a new study in Preventive Medicine, people who exercised the most had biological aging markers that appeared nine years younger than those who were sedentary
  • Peanut butter vs. almond butter... how do these two spreads compare? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ PEANUT BUTTER:⠀ ✅ Slightly higher protein content compared to almond butter⠀ ✅ Much cheaper depending on location (usually around 3-4x less expensive!) ❌ Beware added sugars and hydrogenated fats⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ALMOND BUTTER:⠀ ✅ Superior source of fiber & many vitamins (like vitamin E) and minerals (like magnesium)⠀ ✅ Contains what I consider a healthier fat profile: fewer PUFAs (polyunsaturated fats), slightly better omega-3:omega-6 ratio, and more monounsaturated fat ❌ Beware added sugars⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
  • From @infofit - Can Human Growth Hormone (HGH) Be Increased Naturally? Low HGH levels can negatively impact your quality of life by increasing your risk of disease. Optimal levels of this important hormone are especially critical during weight loss, for recovery from injury and when trying to boost athletic performance. Many people are unaware that diet and lifestyle choices can make a big difference in your Human Growth Hormone levels. Check out the tips below to learn how to naturally increase your HGH levels safe and effectively. Nutritional Support for HGH Secretion Food is what fuels us in life and what we choose to put into our bodies can significantly affect how our body develops. Nutrition can, of course, influence how we produce HGH. The foods we consume will either increase our HGH secretion or send it spiraling down. Diets rich in the wrong type of carbohydrates have been shown to significantly decrease HGH secretion. According to a study published by the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism in 1976, men who got 80 % of their calories from carbohydrates saw a significant drop in their HGH levels. Compared with men who followed a diet that was 40 % carbohydrates, 40 % fat and 20 % protein. They were able to sustain normal HGH levels. Researchers published a study in 2012 in Growth Hormone and IGF Research with findings that specific macro and micro nutrients increase HGH (8). Food specifically high in vitamin C including citrus fruits, strawberries, raspberries, kiwi, mango, broccoli, bell peppers, leafy green vegetables and tomatoes were especially helpful with promoting HGH release. Also included in the study and shown to be beneficial were all plant-based foods provide dietary fiber, including fruit, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and seeds. Dried beans, peas and lentils are especially rich in fiber. The amino acid Arginine has also been shown to increase the release of HGH. Most people get plenty of this essential nutrient through the consumption of protein sources such as meat.
