FALLING into temptation... and other FALLS you want to avoid
We often talk about 'falling into temptation' when it comes to food: giving into cravings, losing control... But there are other falls we want to avoid just as much: ACTUAL FALLS, especially as we age. Nutrition affects muscle strength and energy levels (among many other things), both implicated in our balance. I've noticed that none of the elderly people I work with is able to do the following exercise: The person is in the position of the picture you see below (arms open or close whether we want to decrease or increase the difficulty respectively). Few patients are able to keep their balance in a heel-to-toe position (or tandem stance), but when I asked them to completely turn their head to the right and to the left (while, of course, maintining this position) it simply becomes impossible to keep their balance and they need to quickly hold onto something not to fall. This exercice clearly creates 'sensory conflict' since it implies a vestibular stimulation and it breaks the visual dependency of staring at a fixed point, requiring a greater implication of proprioception. If you are curious, try it yourself and see how it feels!😊How did it go? And remember, whether in nutrition or in life, it's all about balance!

🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑Did you know?🥑🥑🥑🥑
. We’ve talked about Ozempic (Semaglutide) and how it’s considered the "miracle" weight loss drug (works by mimicking a hormone in your gut called GLP-1). This hormone tells your brain you’re full, slows down digestion, and stabilizes blood sugar. But it comes with a high price tag and a long list of potential side effects (nausea, muscle loss, "Ozempic face"). 🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿 But DID YOU KNOW that Yerba Mate is doing the same thing but better? 🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿 Recent studies show that Yerba Mate is one of the few natural substances that significantly increases your body's own GLP-1 production. IT IS SIMILAR BECAUSE: - Yerba Mate stimulates GLP-1 release, which naturally blunts hunger and helps you feel satisfied longer. - It promotes "thermogenesis" (fat burning) and increases fat oxidation during exercise. - It improves insulin sensitivity, helping you avoid those energy crashes that lead to sugar cravings. IT IS DIFFERENT (AND HEALTHIER) BECAUSE: - While Ozempic is a single synthetic molecule, Yerba Mate contains 24 vitamins and minerals, 15 amino acids, and more antioxidants than green tea. - It contains a "holy trinity" of stimulants: caffeine, theobromine (the "feel-good" molecule in chocolate), and theophylline. This gives you laser focus without the coffee jitters or the "medicated" fatigue. - Unlike rapid weight loss drugs that can lead to muscle wasting, Yerba Mate supports physical performance and recovery, making it a favorite for athletes. - Interestingly, studies have shown Yerba Mate can actually increase bone mineral density - something most weight loss tools can't claim. 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚 Yerba Mate isn't a "magic pill" that will work as overnight as a prescription drug, but it is a metabolic tool that works with your biology instead of overriding it. Let´s say it more of a "nudge" that a "shove". 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚 How to use it: Drink it traditional style (hot) or as an iced tea in the morning or before a workout to maximize the fat-burning and appetite-curbing effects. (Obviously, no sugar or sweetners added)
