Walking in the footsteps of Giants

To catch up from my last post. I was very sore after my training last week. This was a new program in an EDT style. It was written by David Whitley, www.irontamer.com , and was named the Dreadfully Strong program. As David likes to name his work. So after a couple days of active recovery and a KB demo and rock climbing on Friday, I was able to move without cringing. Yesterday I did 10 mins of alternating sets of KB high pulls with 24kg and single arm jerks with 24kg. high pulls 15/15 total reps and jerks 13/13. tomorrow will start Dreadfully Strong again but will be reducing the volume a bit. That means I'm taking longer breaks.

This will be the first of some posting on nutrition. Most of the pioneering work done in nutrition has been done by dentists. This is because one of the first places malnutrition shows up is in the teeth and facial bones. The other is in the feet. So as far back as the '30's , Royal Lee, DDS (founder of Standard Process supplement company) and Weston A Price (www.westonaprice.org) were seeing an increase in cavities and dental malformations. This was over 75 years ago and how much refined food were people consuming then compared to now? These finding led these men to explore what was changing in our lives and it led them to the quality of our food.
Weston Price wrote Nutrition and Physical Degeneration which is his study of a variety of peoples around the world and examines their native diet. It should be required reading of anyone in the medical profession. He found less than 1% incidence of tooth decay in remote populations eating their native diets. The pictures in this book speak volumes on the importance of nutrition.
Royal Lee understood the importance of whole food nutrition and built his supplement company around that philosophy. Another brilliant researcher from that time is Francis Pottenger MD. He did a lot of studies with cats and saw disease processes progressing within one generation of poor diet. Melvin Page is yet another great as is William Donald Kelley, both dentists. All these men recognized and help found the science of Metabolic Typing which states that one size does not fit all with diets.
Tune in next time for the reason why whole food supplements are vital for feeding cells and creating a new body from the inside out.
