A well needed break.

I have just started this book and already been ripped apart to the core!

Habits do not restrict freedom. They create it.

Compassion, Empathy, Courage, Mindfulness, Consistency, Gratitude, Understanding & Humility, I believe, can advance one to a fruitful lifestyle, birth non prejudice characteristics and sound minds
I certainly strive for the above daily, and on occasions I fail miserably, more often than not
But I have found through my own experience, Keeping Momentum, Routine & Healthy Habits will always bring me back, to readjust and realign and live consciously

3 Mechanisms For Muscle Hypertrophy
MECHANICAL TENSION:
Mechanical tension is created by using a heavy load and performing exercises through a full range of motion for a period of time. The time the muscle spends under tension provided by the external load (barbell, dumbbell etc) creates Mechanical Tension in the muscle. The more time spent under load, the more mechanical tension provided
MUSCLE DAMAGE:
Muscle damage is an essential component of the muscle-building process. Muscle damage is sustained during resistance training, largely coming from eccentric and concentric contractions. D.O.Ms (Delayed Onset of Muscle Soreness) is a very common sensation experienced by individuals after undertaking exercise, this is a result of micro tears in the muscle as a result of damage. Although, D.O.Ms are not always an indication whether it was a good workout or not
METABOLIC STRESS:
Along with lifting heavy weights to create mechanical tension, it is also well researched that lifting moderate to light weights for higher repetitions, often associated with body building, will also promote muscle growth

High Protein Quinoa
Quinoa, a complete protein, cooked in Dr Broth with balsamic roasted figs, cucumber, red pepper & basil
Bone broth is one of the purest forms of collagen and protein and quinoa is one of the very few plants that is a complete protein
If you consider to cut out on meat and go the plant based route, I highly suggest you get professional advise to ensure you’re not complete protein deficient. You’ll need to have your combinations of plants correct for complete proteins as most plant proteins are incomplete
A deficiency could cause:
• Fatigue
• Muscle Loss
• Body Composition Change
• Fatty Liver
• Skin, Hair & Nail Problems
• Higher Risk in Bone Fractures
• Stunted Growth in Children
• Risk Of Infections
• Higher Appetite and Cravings
