Title: Dodge the Fast Food Fix
Date: N/A.
Number: N/A.
Reflection:
This podcast discusses some of the ways throughout our day that we get busy with work, school, or job, or just life in general and our decision making makes us resort to breaking our eating routine for a healthier lifestyle. Instead of trying to avoid fast food because of convenience and junk food all together, these are the scenarios that may help to curve those tendencies.
Scenario 1 - Late to work and no time for breakfast. You grab a coffee shop coffee and bagel about 800 cal. Instead try green tea and whole wheat bagel.
Scenario 2 – Midmorning munchies. Thinking ahead can help a lot. Preparing easy snacks the night before instead of sweets will help instead of grubbing on office pastries.
Scenario 3 – Your lunch break. Instead of a big cheeseburger, look again at the menu. Try a chicken salad or fish sandwich.
Scenario 4 – Time for bed, but you’re hungry. Chinese takeout? Avoid the late night delivery and prepare the weekend prior some pre-make precooked chicken and other things to make a sandwich, etc.

Title: Fitness Rocks Podcast 036

Number: 36.
Reflection:
This podcast discussed an article published in the Journal American Medical Association. The study showed was that taking antioxidant supplements for primary secondary prevention, in a large number of studies, showed a 5% increase in risk for death due to these supplements.
The argument from the narrator of Fitness Rocks is that the amounts in supplements and also used in these studies are extremely large doses. Many of the antioxidants used in the study have already shown to be toxic to the body if used in an over abundance.
He also suggested that it is very important to tell your doctor you take herbal or any other supplements at routine checks, because they think they may be criticized, etc. Many people do not understand the amount of these supplements to take, so it is important to consult a physician and make sure he/she knows during your routine exam.

Title: Cold Pressed? Expeller-Pressed? Get Dee-Mystified!

Reflection:
It’s very common...you walk into the grocery store and there’s a whole row of oils. This podcast discussed oils and how they are processed differently. The first was virgin oil. Virgin oil is the first pressing mixed with second and third pressing. Virgin oil has more impurities that extra virgin oil. Extra virgin oil is the best. It is the first pressing of seed, nut, olive and there is no future processing. Expeller pressing is a machinal press and most times there is no future chemical processing. Chemical processing is the same as refining. Canola and corn oil are two examples of processed or refined oils, which are the lowest on the list.
Although you’re going to spend a little bit more at the checkout for the extra virgin oil, the non-refinement of the oil helps to avoid addiction to that oil as well as a purer oil for the foods you use it to cook with.
