Here we go again.  Fats in the headlines.  I love it.   Go HERE to read ‘Natural Awakenings’ magazine article,
“In Minky’s Kitchen…FAT rules”, page 17.  Dr. Christina Northop is on the cover.  Also there is a very good article
on Dr. Udo Erasmus and his research on oils, page 16.  Finally, there is a grand article on JoAnn Morgillo, her journey
with a breast cancer battle and using massage to heal and help with lymphedema (swelling of the tissues), page 22.

A new study says “High fat breakfast burn more fat”.
In a study to observe the development of metabolic syndrome and two distinct diets in mice, researchers found

in the two separate groups of:
  • The High-Carb Breakfast Group ate a higher-carb breakfast and a lower-carb, higher-fat dinner
  • The High-Fat Breakfast Group ate a higher-fat breakfast and a lower-fat, higher-carb dinner
Importantly, the daily diets of the two groups contained the same number of calories and calories from fat.
 
At the end of the study, the High-Fat Breakfast Group had normal metabolic profiles.
 
In contrast, the High-Carb Breakfast Group showed signs of metabolic syndrome, including weight gain, increased abdominal fat, glucose intolerance and more.
 
These differences were attributed to the fact that, compared with the High-Carb Breakfast Group, the mice in the High-Fat Breakfast Group were less likely to store dietary fat as unhealthful abdominal fat, which generates chemical signals that promote several other aspects of metabolic syndrome.
 
 “The first meal you have appears to program your metabolism for the rest of the day,” said study senior author Martin Young, Ph.D. (UAB 2010)

You don’t have to think like mice.  This ’study’ resembles Minky’s Fried Chicken Diet.  You can try it for 3 days, if you sign up for Minky’s group phone coaching visit www.theminkyway.com for more information.

Strengthen & Stretch classes
You know, muscles don’t lengthen, they only tighten when you use them and when you don’t use them.  You have to actively ’stretch’ them.  Can you still raise your arms all the way over your head?
If you are trying to reduce your waist, you can’t exercise your abdominal muscles effectively with very tight hip flexors.  If you sit all day or commute, chances are you have tight hip flexors and a protruding belly.  Here are photos of where my new Strengthen & Stretch will be at Informed Touch Massage & Wellness in Deal, NJ:

I also discovered that I had the wrong sized ball all along.  So I got a bigger ball (if you can stand it). 
Using the bigger ball is for ‘ringers’ only…

We started out using the smaller, blue ball.  Now we need to use the larger pink ball for our stretching.  It hurts so good.
