Quick fact. Ready? Milk decreases the absorption rate of protein. If you’re looking to build muscle in particular, try to avoid consuming milk with your post protein shake. Instead, opt for mixing it with water or cold pressed juice.
Quick fact. Ready? A muscle can produce far more force during an eccentric (lengthening) contraction as supposed to a concentric (shortening) contraction.
Quick fact. Ready? During breathing, the ribs move upward and outward, which creates a lower pressure space within the pleural cavity. This pressure gradient helps to draw blood back to the heart.
Quick fact. Ready? When defrosting food, do not leave it out at room temperature. Instead, submerge it in cool water or stick it in the microwave prior to cooking.
Quick fact. Ready? The lines of a ‘six pack’ are actually the Linea Semilunaris and Interconnecting Fascia surrounding and in between the Rectus Abdominal Muscle. These lines can be seen in those with lower amounts of body fat, although they exist in everybody.
Quick fact. Ready? Red blood cells have a life span of 120 days, in which they are then removed from the blood stream by the spleen.
Quick fact. Ready? Males have greater oxygen carrying capacity than females. This is due to their larger hearts, greater blood volume, and more hemoglobin in their red blood cells.
Quick fact. Ready? Iron deficiency is so common because, on average, only 10-15% of dietary iron is absorbed in the intestines. Consuming Vitamin C or MPF factor helps to increase this absorption.
Quick fact. Ready? BMI, a method commonly used to determine one's healthy weight category, can be more inaccurate than other available techniques. BMI, although good for on the spot calculations, does not specify between fat and lean body mass, and thus, those such as athletes, the elderly, naturally short, and pregnant people can show up as more overweight than they actually are.
Quick fact. Ready? Shallow breathing is bad when it comes to delivering oxygen to the muscles. With a smaller volume of inhaled air, majority of it does not get deep enough for gas exchange into the blood.
Quick fact. Ready? Subcutaneous adipose tissue (fat right beneath the skin) can store up to 75,000 kilocalories, while intramuscular glycogen stores can only store around 2050 kilocalories.
Reminder: Take care of yourself, both physically AND mentally.
