Beard Power

Some Thoughts On Your Diet

In case lifting weights is already part of your fitness routine, then you will be glad to know that,

“A new experiment done at the Aging, Mobility, and Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver suggests that weight training may benefit..the brain.”

How? Read If You Want to Stay Young, Keep Lifting Weights by writer Laura Bolt to see just what exactly that benefit is.

Then check out 6 Foods I Recommend Eating Every Day For A Long Life by Dr. Michael Greger to make sure you are stocking up on the right foods once in a while.

And if you have heard a lot about Paleo this and Vegan that, and neither one of them sound great, then perhaps by combining the two into one super diet might better suit you.

I recommend taking a look at the piece Paleo vs. Vegan? The Pegan Diet Gives You the Best of Both by writer K. Aleisha Fetters.

Does it work?

“Experts largely approve of all of peganism’s diet dos; its Mediterranean-style focus on produce, lean meat, and healthy fats being an optimal way to balance your blood-sugar levels, fend off hunger with loads of filling fiber, get tons of vitamins and minerals, and, ultimately shed pounds, says Wesley Delbridge, R.D., a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.”

Read the rest of the details and decide for yourself if it’s right for you.

Now that Your Diet Is Taken Care Of, What Else Is There to Eat?

Grant Cardone has a few ideas in his article, Be Hungry or Starve as an Entrepreneur. He reminds us that

“Success requires constant attention and the moment you stop hunting for it, it will escape you. You must approach the creation of success as a must-have obligation, do-or-die mission, gotta-have-it, hungry-dog-on-the-back-of-a-meat-truck mentality.”

You’ve got to read the rest to see what two things Cardone challenges you to do as an entrepreneur.

And of course, you gotta feed your soul too man!

The 25 year-old Brazilian model, “grew up in a remote area of Brazil and barely spoke English when she started her career as an 18-year-old mother-of-one.” Now she’s a Victoria’s Secret Angel and is here to get you thinking about the beach, as well as many, many other things.
