Good read: Cheese and fat are good, gut bacteria matters (a lot) and other nutrition lessons of 2013. Here’s my “lucid dreaming” formula. Proceed at your own risk: 15mg melatonin, 300mg 5-HTP, 3000mg L-Tyrosine. Enjoy your night. Turns out the info in my book at GetFitGuy.com could be used to train KIDS with different body types. ----------------------------------------------------- Special Announcements: How to REV the Human Machine: Recover, Elevate, and Vitalize.

Is Joint Cracking Dangerous? Aaron says:His wrist, fingers, knees, ankles and back (a little bit) crack. The way someones normally cracks their knuckles. Is this something he should be worried about? Is there anything he should take for it? Any diet changes? He runs (80 to 100km / week) and also does Jujitsu. Pros And Cons Of Too Much Muscle Horacio says:Is it possible to get strong without building big muscles? Could you explain if there is any benefit to bulking up for real sport? What are the pros and cons of big muscles? Is there an injury prevention aspect? Less potential for cramping? More endurance or power? Wouldn't all that bulk slow you down? Do We Really Need An Appendix (And What To Do If Your Appendix Gets Removed) John says:He had his appendix removed when he was 11 or 12 (he is 34 now). He has heard all his life that the appendix is vestigial but lately he has read that it might be more important than we once thought. Given that he lives without one, what considerations should he think about in terms of lifestyle and diet? In my response I recommend: -This article on fermented foods -Caprobiotics Natural Remedies For Eye Circles Kate says:Lately she wakes up feeling tired with dark puffy circles under her eyes. This just started over the last few months. She sleeps very well, is otherwise very healthy and feels really good during the day. She just hates the dark puffy circles under her eyes. In my response I recommend: -TianChi -Making your own coffee lotion -Coffee essential oil from Mountain Rose Herbs Why Cyclists Don't Need Flexibility Troy says:What are the best pre and post workout stretches to get maximum flexibility for cycling? In my response I recommend: -3-4x/week of all 10 exercises in the book "Foundation". ----------------------------------------------------- -- And don't forget to go to BenGreenfieldFitness.com/love! -- Prior to asking your question, do a search in upper right hand corner of this website for the keywords associated with your question.
