Overview on MYO Reps
I wrote about high reps, high volume earlier and found it to be quite beneficial for my purpose which is to maintain muscle with less stress to my central nervous system. As a senior, I was finding that going heavy multiple times a week as in the past was wiping me out like never before. Not the typical soreness and lethargy on off days but bone crushing fatigue that could last for days. I knew that it was over training but was not about to be a once or twice a week visitor to the gym just yet. Myo reps appears to be a great alternative to traditional heavy lifting for muscle hypertrophy.

Hepcidin Overview
What is hepcidin and why should we care? If you suffer from iron deficiency, toxicity, iron poor blood anemia and other peripherally related issues, stay tuned and learn about this little-known peptide.
Hepcidin is now acknowledged to be the main iron regulatory hormone produced in our bodies. It is a 25-amino acid peptide exclusively synthesized by the liver initially identified in a search for novel antimicrobial peptides.1 There was no indication that it had an additional role in iron metabolism until 2001 when mouse studies discovered that hepatic hepcidin mRNA synthesis was induced by iron loading.2
Iron overload can lead to severe health problems such as heart failure, liver cancer and diabetes while deficiency can lead to anemia issues and more!

Introduction to Intermittent Fasting
Recent research has found that intermittent fasting or limiting food consumption to 12 hours per day or less, has positive effects on the body. Intermittent fasting benefits autophagy, which is the process of breaking down old cells, and upregulating senescent cells. This means there are more cells available for cellular metabolism. Additionally, IF has been found to lower levels of cholesterol in the blood because levels of LDL-cholesterol decrease.
In part, this article discusses the benefits of upregulating senescent cells in order to ensure there are adequate cells for cellular metabolism. As we age, senescent cells build up and inhibit our natural anti-aging mechanisms. These senescent cells can be upregulated (increased) or even eliminated altogether to increase cellular metabolism and longevity. Many scientists are starting to believe that these processes may be the key to reversing aging altogether.

Introduction to the Arthritis Cure
The arthritis cure comes from Borax, a natural mineral that has been used for centuries as a household cleaner and laundry booster. It is also used in the production of glass, ceramics, enamel, and insulation.
Borax is not only an effective remedy for arthritis but it can also be used to treat other health conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and acne.
Boron, is in Borax, and a trace mineral that helps the body absorb calcium and magnesium. Boron deficiency can lead to arthritis symptoms such as joint pain and inflammation.
It is an essential mineral that has been shown to have many health benefits. Boron can be found in many foods and drinks, but it can also be taken as a supplement. This element has been shown to help with bone strength, joint pain, and muscle soreness. It now has come to be known as “the arthritis cure” in some circles.

This is supposed to be a follow up on my article on using a high pressure steam cooker from a few weeks ago. I promised an update and presumed my new report would be about if I still was still pressure cooking vegetables and results.
I am definitely using it every day and it is not a chore or drudgery! The taste of steamed vegetables with pressure cooking is fabulous!
Keep in mind, as I said in my first report, I was barely eating vegetables and I did not enjoy the taste. Just like millions of others, I just don’t like eating vegetables, at least the quick micro waved style or raw. Terrible lack of flavor or not digestible in the case of raw so they were unsatisfying, Who needs that?
I am killing two birds with one stone on how the pressure cooker is working out for pressure cooking vegetables and the other, what appears to be the holy grail for getting fiber!
