Salt. Public enemy No.1 along with fat. And just like fat I have come to the conclusion it’s actually essential for the body, but just like fat there’s salt I will not touch and then there’s salt I ensure I have daily. So is salt healthy? Depends… and here’s my thoughts… Continue reading →

Everything you have ever experienced, felt, or conducted in life is due to brain function…. It is impossible for a person to become healthy mentally or physiologically without a healthy brain. – Datis Kharrazin DHSc, DC, MS, MNeuroSci

After kicking off the new year with the month of the gut, A.K.A the second brain, we thought we’d move north and check out the most powerful computing system there is; The Human Brain.

Even though there is a known common distinction between mind and body, I view things a little differently. We already know that having a healthy heart or liver is a direct result of the foods we eat, and the lifestyle choices we make, so why would the brain be any different? After all it’s all housed under the same roof, and that to me simply means it’s still part of the same thing.

Then the burning questions for me are: Continue reading →

I asked Caroline if she would mind filming one of her many magic healthy recipes, and she has kindly filmed this video for us. A simple healthy snack for the kids in the shape of muffins she made for her nephews birthday recently. The feedback I got was that it wasn’t only the kids eating these muffins! Continue reading →

I had an interesting discussion abut training with some friends on the weekend.

My group of mates are all into fitness and rarely do we get together and not discuss training, at least a little bit.

It’s been interesting to watch our reasons for training and therefore our methods change over the years, from sports team practices, to wanting six packs and then pursuing performance based goals.

It’s my belief that every single person should follow some sort of fitness regime. We’re becoming a more sedentary society, reliant on technology and the convenience of fast food. But having a background as PT, commitment and consistency is generally what causes people to fall of the fitness bandwagon.

Consistency only comes when you have a clear cut reason for being in the gym. We post and preach all things CrossFit here, because all of us at 180 are hooked on becoming better CrossFit athletes. Many yoga lovers practice their craft for its mental and physical benefits and to relieve some of the stresses of everyday life and bodybuilders do 12 types of curls a session to try and secure a win in their next show.

Figuring out your reason for training is the first and arguably most important step towards starting a successful training routine.

Health? Image? Sports? Performance?
