Fitness News #38 - the truth about food

News

 th_ITTbikeIMAG0122.jpg

 

So how did the long weekend go?

 

The truth about food

 

That was the name of the program on SBS.  I half expected some doco on dodgy things being done in the manufacturing, but that wasn't it;

 

The Primate Diet

They took a group of people and gave them a diet of 5kg of raw fruit, vegetables and nuts.  They got one olive soaked in brine for salt.

 

I'm thinking 'this is hardcore' who could achieve a diet like that?  Well, while the struggled to eat those quantities, at the end of 2 weeks, all of them had normal blood pressure and their cholesterol levels had dramatically dropped.

 

All of them said they will increase their intake of vegetables.

 

Proof that you can make significant improvements in a short period.

 

Erectile Dysfunction

Yeh it was a british show on SBS.   But what was interesting was that the cause they focused on was about saturated fats blocking the veins in the penis preventing the blood from flowing.  It also pointed out that this was a precursor of a heart attack, typically when erectile dysfunction occurred, the dude had a heart attack about 3 years later.

 

So the lesson here is eat less saturated fat, especially if you/he lacks enthusiasm.

 

Farting

They fitted special fart collecting pants to a cowboy and to a cowgirl.  Then sent them out for their traditional diet – bake beans etc.

 

The conclusion was that cowboys did fart a little more than cowgirls, then they focused on what caused farts, apparently there were 2 different bacteria's, bad ones that caused smelly farts and good ones that caused not so smelly ones.

 

There was some focus on what these bacteria were for, ie to aid digestion and what foods encouraged good bacteria and less bad bacteria, but I missed most of it, but did catch that banana's were good.

 

Apparently we would fart 10 times more if we didn't have these bacteria.

 

Getting rid of crap

Focus on 2 truck drivers, with horrible diets, basically what you can eat at trucker stops and tinned foods on the road.  They sallowed a tracking pill and measured the time it took to go thru their systems.  One of them took a stunning 48 hours.  They added fibre to their diets and repeated the process.  This time it took less than half the time to pass thru.

 

Conclusion

The show brought home two points about diet;

-          eat more fibre

-          eat less saturated fats

I certainly took the points they brought to the table.

Outdoor Cycling

 

Sunday we drove towards Calga to do an Individual Time Trial (ITT) and the heaven's opened up.  Turramurra, we pulled the pin, stopped had breakfast and drove home.   Was suppose to be training for the Aussie champs next week, but it didn't happen.
