PERMANENT HEALTH FIXES

  • When Vinnie and Anna were kids, they would hear about “sugar diabetes.”
    • Now, this is called Type II Diabetes.
  • For many, this is a disease you can reverse.
    • Stop eating sugar and grains––this works for many.
    • Make it a permanent lifestyle change.
  • Work with your doctor on this.
  • NSNG®, turning around your health, are not temporary fixes or fads.
    • You have to commit to this for real.
    • Once you beat the addiction, you realize how sustainable this is.

UNHEALTHY SOUTHERN FOOD

  • The South has terrible obesity rates.
  • Many of the popular foods there are the reason.
  • There are grains in EVERYTHING.
    • The soups have grains, the fish have breading.
  • If you live in the south, make an effort to make your own food.
  • The cheapest foods, especially in the south, tend to be sugar and grains, but you CAN make this lifestyle affordable.

by Vinnie Tortorich

CLICK HERE TO PLAY EPISODE

: Episode 845 – Vinnie and Anna go ballistic over the Netflix movie What The Health from Joaquin Phoenix and how everything the movie stands for is pure lies and will lead to the cancer and diabetes it claims to prevent!

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

WHAT THE HEALTH

  • This is a new Netflix documentary
  • However, when it comes down to it, it  is full BS
  • This documentary is all about how meat and the like is bad for you
    • The science does NOT BACK IT UP
      • They only chose studies that work for them
  • Eggs, meat not bad for you
    • Crazy to think otherwise
    • Frustrating that celebrities are pushing out this false information as well
  • Eating meat and high fat has proven to be good for so many people
    • Check out the FB group for example
    • Helps blood pressure, cholesterol, etc.
  • Veganism is not a healthy way to live
  • What this movie preaches is hypocritical
    • Their suggestions on how to live will make many sick

Running, Training and Lifting Weights

by Vinnie Tortorich

Today is second in our Saturday edition of one-on-one with listener questions. Today’s listener is Mark Thomson from New Zealand and he has a question about improving his running time…

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

MARK’S QUESTION ABOUT RUNNING

  • He has been a long-distance runner for 20-30 years and wants to get faster…less than 20 mins for a 5K
  • If you go out to fast, you get exhausted and if you don’t go out fast enough you won’t have a good time
  • What can he do to build up power to be able to improve his time by 30 seconds?
  • Is weight training effective?

WHAT WORKS

  • Varying speeds, for example go from zone 2 to a spring…interval training…is very effective
  • Good to gym exercise…lunge and squats will add power to your legs
  • But to go faster, find a program like Joe Friel’s 5K training routine
  • Gotta run hard and stay relaxed
