Have you ever wondered why joggers Athletics Reggie Jackson Jersey , as they plod forth in grim determination, never smile? It's something that mystified me occasionally, as I enjoy my walk along a country path with my dog. And then I finally figured it out. Well, at least I think I did.

Not far from where I live, there is a disused old railway line. It's an overgrown lane now and a rather pretty place to walk - far from traffic noise, with hedges and shrubs on either side, bursting with birdsong and the innocent beauty of country life. Admittedly Athletics Matt Joyce Jersey , at times it's a bit of a dog walkers' highway and then there are the joggers racing along.

I'm aware that not everyone is keen on an overfriendly four legged fur ball bounding toward them, so when dog free people cross our path, I call Cookie and keep her at heal until they have passed, normally with a friendly hello and thanks. Not so with most runners.

Whereas other walkers smile, exchange a greeting and maybe even a few words, those people who run tend to hold their heads straight and their lips too. Rarely a word or even a nod, to loosen the concentrated gaze toward an invisible Athletics Mark McGwire Jersey , maybe unattainable goal.

For a while I thought that maybe they're so far up on their jogger's high, that they don't see us down below. But that wouldn't make sense. would it? If you're somewhere close to bliss, then surely you would exude that from every part of your being. It would be joy and joy is contagious, it's fun and brings a smile and a bounce.

So, why do joggers never smile? And what's the secret of those who do? My theory is that the reason many people run isn't one that really motivates, inspires and energises them. They aren't running 'in the moment', but hastening toward more fitness Athletics Marcus Semien Jersey , less weight and social acceptance as a trend follower. They are literally chasing after an external goal that is frustratingly far away in the future. But then, occasionally, there is a very different kind of runner.

The person who may be just as pooped, but has a glow on their face that's not just sweat. They are the ones who are moving with their body, mind and soul right here in the present moment. Feeling the movement with each step they take, breathing in fresh, crisp air and experiencing pure delight at being able to do so. These are the runners who seem to glide past elegantly Athletics Khris Davis Jersey , leaving you feeling just that little bit better about your day as they send a little smile and a nod your way.

I'm certain that these are also the joggers who run for the mere sake of being alive, of enjoying their body and being in nature. There's a spiritual side to their running - a kind of moving meditation. The fact that they will become healthier and fitter as a result is a welcome side effect and their joy is in the present moment.

And maybe, watching the grim and the happy runners and figuring out what made the difference was partly responsible for the development of BodyBliss?. BodyBliss is an holistic training system we offer to create health, wellbeing and balance between body, mind and spirit - in a word, bliss. That's my contribution to enjoying exercise with an inner smile.

In 1850 Athletics Kendall Graveman Jersey , the average American consumed about twenty pounds of sugar yearly. Today, the typical American consumes 141 lbs. of sugar (an SUV-full) annually. The 2011 USDA estimates the average American ingests two tons of sugar in a lifetime. Yes, that’s per person.


Most of this sugar comes from high fructose corn syrup which is the primary ingredient in most refined foods. But, if you read the nutrition labels, you’ll immediately see that sugar is either added or exists organically (such as in dairy and fruit) in over 80% of the products in the supermarket. Soda pop, juice drinks, milk Athletics Jose Canseco Jersey , and pure fruit juice are the leading sources of sugar from drinks.


Your body can’t tell the difference between fructose from apples, lactose from cheese, galactose from beets, or sucrose from honey. Since their molecular structures are nearly identical, these saccharides are all metabolized by your body in the exact same way. In addition, all fruit and starchy carbohydrates such as grains, legumes Athletics Joe Morgan Jersey , corn, and potatoes, will quickly get converted into glucose in the bloodstream. According to Harvard Health Publications, pizza, mashed potatoes, raisins, popcorn Athletics Jed Lowrie Jersey , and Grape Nuts (a supposed “health food”) all have a glycemic index (glucose = 100) above 70 which is 15 points higher than a Snickers bar. Fructose (from corn and fruit) is one of the most damaging kinds of sugar because it’s very glycating which can be very damaging to your tissues. A spiked glycemic index manifested by the intake of these starchy foods eventually results in insulin resistance and candida overgrowth.


Insulin is a pancreatic hormone that helps the body metabolize blood glucose by binding with receptors on cells (much like a key fits snugly into a lock). Once the insulin hormone has “unlocked the door” into the cell and glucose is inserted, it is then either burned for fuel or stored as fat in the form of glycogen. Every time you consume excessive carbs, the pancreas has to produce an unnaturally high amount of insulin which eventually becomes toxic to the cells. Eventually, the cells need a break from the insulin onslaught. So, what does your Intelligent Body do to compensate fo this? Well, it downgrades the number of receptors so that the cells don’t have to receive the insulin as often. This insulin resistance leads to type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure Athletics Jake Smolinski Jersey , anxiety, hypoglycemia, ADHD, and systemic candida.
