Three things I learnt over the past week

1) The nutritional value of organic fruits and commercial fruits are the same. The issue is that commercial fruits have pesticides and hormones which can cause lots of health problems including cancer.

2) Barefoot running is great. It is a self-limiting exercise as your feet will hurt after awhile. It will hurt sooner if you run with wrong mechanics. Running with shoes allow you to run longer without pain and with wrong mechanics which results in the overuse injuries due to heel strike and repetitive stress.

3)Farmers knew centuries ago that to make cattle fat, put them on a low fat, low protein and high carbohydrate diet. Isn't that what we are told to get healthy and lean?
