Do you even lift?

Taking about mind muscle connection, I saw this video about Indian Body Builders that takes it to a whole nuther level.

It's worth watching carefully and pausing to read the pages because there are wise words that you don't want to miss.

Part 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31W6GHvDkuY&t=0s Interesting old fashioned ideas about muscle building, but with our modern knowledge about anatomy and physiology we have better exercises and much better workouts now days.

Bodybuilding poses

Part 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JM3YfIV68Z8&t=0s This is where it gets nuts. The muscle control is incredible, and the poses are much more advanced than body building poses we are using today.

I don’t like those heel raises. I really don’t like how slow they move me, how difficult they get with repetition..

And those reverse ones.. omg they are ten times worse..

But I know they are helping. So not letting them beat me into dismissing or avoidance... lol

This is how deluded the apparent experts (medical doctors) on obesity really are. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/obesity...nkId=196547890

We know it's hard to radically overhaul a way of life, and it is easy to take fat burners, but this is an extremely perverse and abusive way to treat children who are fat.

The right way is to feel hungry and do strenuous things. That's how the body works.

In the article the doctor actually said "I definitely think this is a realization that diet and exercise is not going to do it for a number of teens who are struggling with this — maybe the majority,".

Insanity. Please people, take your child to a proper personal trainer and dietician. Do not let the doctor 'treat' them.

...anything to feed the Pharma.

It’s such a simple means of building healthy patterns around health and wellness in children. Good nutrition and healthy habits and choices. Sadly a lot of parents choose the easy option, because they don’t have the dedication themselves to see things through.

When my son was quite young, I ensured he ate well in those first ten or so years. He complained that his lunch box was very different to the majority of his friends. I had to be consistent and not give in.

When he was a teen, I started to struggle with him, but because I felt I’d given him a good start, I didn’t worry too much about this period. I continued to cook and prep good meals. Mostly what he ate in between was junk food but generally he wasn’t too bad.

He’s 25 now and he eats almost anything, but I’ve noticed a few things like fruit smoothies and cooking meals from scratch are in there. Things he often complained about with me encouraging.

All in all I can see, his foundational years have influenced him, so I am hopeful he’ll continue to improve, from those early introductions.

The medicalisation of the child is systemic child abuse.

It started in the 80's with ADHD. The diagnosed child within the school system and the mass production and sale of child-centric drugs to healthy children. You start them young on drugs that make them sick and you have a customer for life. Of course the child started on ADHD meds is soon diagagnosed with additional disorders.

I thought that was perverse, but then we came up with 'affirmative care' for children and started with the puberty blockers that lead to hormones, which leads to operations, all of which are entirely unnecessary and extremely harmful physically and psychologically to otherwise perfectly healthy youths.

Now we have the 'obesity', which was classified as a disease and entered the purview of medicine some years ago. It's not actually a disease. It's caused by sedentary living and consuming more calories that are burned. However, you can find various hormones that regulate metabolism and hunger signals and pretend that these are the underlying cause. It's not true. (There are a vanishly small percentage of adult cases that are hormonal, in which case medication is necessary)

In my childhood we played outside, did sports, and turned up at home at dusk with battle scars looking for something to eat. I look back at my younger school photos and there were no fat kids. The reason is we ate home cooked food and spend all our time outside school running wild. There is no disease making kids fat and no need for a medical intervention. More activity and less calories is the answer. That's the way nature works and there is no other way.

I'd like to say the path to hell is well-intended, but there are no good intentions. This is the medical industry looking for customers and thinking, why aren't we selling unnecessary drugs and surgeries to healthy kids? These are the same people who medicalised the child with mental illness, told them they can choose their gender, and are now saying drugs and surgery is the solution to being too fat. Surely we have gone to crazytown.

Kids have to learn the body/mind connection and be engaged in some form of strenuous physical activity. It comes natural to a child. If you just let them 'go out and play' they will find hard things to do. Climb a big ol' tree, race against their friends and find other creative ways to explore the limits of their physical ability. With parental help this energy can be focused even better into useful and/or athletic skills. The athletic life of the child is the solution. It starts at birth and it doesn't stop. It is the way to live naturally and normally and be healthy. I can say what these doctors are doing is an atrocity of untold harm, but I also offer the one and only way that works.

People who follow this path have positive health outcomes as a result, and we all know this is true.

Today, I picked up more than donuts. Today I picked up 'heavy' weights on a barbell and lifted them up and down a few times and called it a "bench press." I invented that today. Even though no benches were lifted or pressed. Yes, I know my idea is named weird. But when you invent things, you can do that. So, I hope no one steals my idea. So that's a start.

The Canadian "Sport For Life' research is fantastic. It starts athletics at birth with activities in the pool, and incorporates tumbling activities at around age 1 or when the child takes steps. The child continues with having fun and learning agile movement skills with play and challenging games, and starts a range of sporty games around age 5. Raw talents are identified over the years as the children gravitate toward their favorite games, and for the competitive ones, they start specialising in specific sports at about 14-18 years old depending on the sport. People who are not competitive remain active with their preferences like biking or whatever until they die.

If you set a child loose, that is an active child.

"Every child is an athlete and, therefore, is genetically predisposed to be active if the environment encourages participation" ~ Sport For life

These people who present themselves as health experts, but present solutions such as medication and surgery are not concerned about the health of anyone. They know as well as you do that the key is what you eat and what you do. Instead of asking why are children inactive and stuffing their faces with calories, they say let them do that so we can medicate them for life and just cut bits off when the medicine doesn't work. This is systemic child abuse, and it's NOT ok.

The Canadians really did figure all the things out on a practical physical level, but they are trying to operate within the same system under the same ideology that created the obesity trend, which costs more, creates more disease, diminishes more quality of life and kills more people than anything else.

If I had children I would be scared for them, not because they might fall out of a tree and break their leg or crash their bike and get stitches, but because the whole world is out to first make them crazy and ill, and then kill them.

Everything has to change in the positive direction and start getting better instead of worse, which means it has to do a complete about-turn from these current trends.

If you attempt to turn around in your own sedentary high cal lifestyle, you will understand how hard it can be, and making that change on the societal level is probably even harder, but this thread is here, and that's your opportunity.

Suggest me something for my face. I have very thin and skinny face only that doesn't suits my body. You are a nutrition right? do you have any suggestions for me? And i request don't ask for the picture. Thanks in advance and waiting to see a post from you.

Hi Glenda, I have no idea how put fat on the face without making the whole body fatter. As far we know in science, it's not possible. However if you are on the thin side over-all, improvements in nutrition and resistance training could bring out your best.

I was just looking into that drug they want to prescribe to fat kids with obesity, and I found out it works as a powerful appetite suppressant. IOW it works because you eat less.

There's a whole fake news piece on 60 Minutes https://www.cbs.com/shows/video/fRqO...H3lmv66Dl7JFy/

The fact this drug is getting a bunch of air time means they are marketing it, and they are lying to sell it. Indeed, this whole story is an advert sponsored by the manufacturer! It's a script staged with actors who are no doubt well paid. Fake news. 60 minutes is not journalism. It's political/industrial shilling, and this story is pure, unadulterated, shameless, intentional misinformation.

The first lie is obesity is genetic. It's not.
The second lie is obesity is a disease. It's not.
The third lie is people who are fat are not consuming excess calories. They are.

There is a genetic component to how much fat people naturally store, but this does not pertain to unhealthy levels of body-fat. Healthy levels of fat is a range that accounts for different body types. There are also some maladies that make people pile on fat, and in only in those rare cases is medication a good idea.

Toward the end of this pretentious story on 60 mins, the miracle story of a woman, who on the drug, has lost 50 pounds (supposedly), which saved her from diabetes. But guess what: "She does have to continue to diet and exercise". No kidding (rolly eyes).

The only way this drug works is it makes you eat less. They spend the whole story saying diet doesn't work, and then say you need a drug to make you eat less. Then, in their example of it working they say she has to diet and exercise. It's completely ridiculous.

I'm from a sport nutrition background, and as a science, we have weight loss down to a fine art because we understand it at a molecular level. We know how weight enters the body as molecules, what happens to them chemically, and the waste molecules that leave the body as weight loss. The simple truth is, body weight is a function of calories in vs. calories out, and that's the only way it works.

What you do and what you eat can make life longer and higher quality, and especially as parents, we should be serious about that. A kid sipping soda playing video games can't turn out to be healthy and strong, and a kid drinking from a garden hose, playing out and riding a BMX will be a not only healthier, stronger and more physically able, but also feel happier.

The world is losing touch with the reality of nature, so just eat right, lift some heavy things, engage in active recreation with friends, and be happy. Don't worry about the bulldust. They are on another dimension where people lie to take advantage and harm children. On this dimension where I live, that's not a thing. Here things are as nature has it - the reality of action and consequence - and healthy is the consequence what you eat and what you do ... It has nothing to do with 'what you take'.
