 BH4BP #52 – Enjoy Concerts, But Protect Your Hearing! | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 11:28

Most of us love concerts, but we hate what it does to our ears afterward. Right after a concert our hearing tends to be shot. We feel like we are underwater and have difficulty hearing. Everything sounds so distant and mumbled for a few hours. Since many of us have experienced this, I thought it would be a great topic to cover. So in this episode, I will go over how loud noises can cause hearing loss and give you tips on how to reduce noise and prevent hearing damage. Some references I used while researching this show are The New Wellness Encyclopedia, Mayo Clinic and americanhearing.org. The video podcast for this week is: * The Quest for a Flat Belly! The blog posts for this week are: * Tea’s Caffeine: Longer Energy Without the Jitters * Cream In Your Coffee? If you like the show, please head on over to iTunes and give me a nice review. It’s a great way to give me some good exposure and can help me get more listeners. Thanks for listening, everyone!

 BHTV #2 – The Quest for a Flat Belly! | File Type: video/x-m4v | Duration: Unknown

In this show, you will be amazed by the improvement in production quality from the first show.  David tweaked a lot of things in post production.  But don’t worry, we are not done yet.  We have even more changes that we want to make over time to take it to the next level. Since summer is here, I thought it would be fitting to cover a popular warm weather goal: Getting a flat belly.  My goal in this show is to teach you the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth about how to achieve a flat, trim stomach.  This is important because many people are not completely happy with their bodies, especially their stomachs.  If it is not as flat as they would like, they are often self conscious about showing it in public, like when they go to the beach.  So, sit back and enjoy the show! If you haven’t yet please subscribe through iTunes.

 BH4BP #51 – Pasta: It’s Back On the Menu! | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 12:12

Pasta has gotten a bad rap over the past few years.  It has been categorized as a fattening food and been placed in the bad carbohydrate category.  Some people have even claimed that it has a high glycemic index.  But are any of these claims actually true? That’s an important question to ask because many people love pasta but have been avoiding it like the plague because they believe that it is bad for them.  Especially when they are trying to lose weight.  But are we operating under the right assumptions?  So, today I am going to dedicate this show to pasta and nothing but pasta.  I am going to go over what pasta is, discuss whether it is healthy or not and give you some tips on how to make it as healthy as possible. Some references I used while researching this show are The New Wellness Encyclopedia and ilovepasta.org. The video podcast for this week is: * Sit Up Straight! The blog posts for this week are: * Stop Snoring! * Breakfast Cereal Selection: Health vs Hype If you like the show, please head on over to iTunes and give me a nice review.  It’s a great way to give me some good exposure and can help me get more listeners.  Thanks for listening, everyone!

If so, you probably have some degree of osteoarthritis.

 BH4BP #46 – Suntans: Sun Kissed? Or Sun Damaged? | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 15:53

Photo by ggvic via Flickr By the weather outside I can say that spring is definitely here and that summer is just around the corner. The weather is warmer and the days are longer. This is the time of year, where a lot of people shed their cold weather clothes and step out of their caves to enjoy the outdoors. Once outside, the warm weather beckons many people to the beach or poolside to worship the sun and be rewarded with a tan. And who could blame them? The sun feels so good on our skin. Plus, many people think a tan gives them an attractive, healthy look. But is a tan really a sign of health or are we just fooling ourselves? Unfortunately, it’s really the latter. In this show, I am going to discuss why a suntan is unhealthy, the dangers of getting too much sun and tips on how to minimize harmful sun exposure while still enjoying the nice weather. For those interested here is a link to the EPA UVI site along with one for Australia and for the rest of the world.  Also here is the link to the Environmental Working Group’s Skin Deep website.

 BH4BP #45 – Food Addiction? But It Tastes So Good! | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

Photo by Kanko* via Flickr Do you constantly think about food, find yourself eating when you aren’t hungry or when you are depressed?  Do you eat in secret or eat much healthier in the company of others than when you are alone?  Do you feel guilty right after eating?  Do you continue to go to the all you can eat buffets even though the reading on the scale keeps rising?  If you said yes to any of these these, you may have a food addiction. Since many people have some degree of food addiction, in this show I thought it would be useful to go over what makes a person a food addict, and give some tips and strategies to help break the addiction. Some references I used while researching this show are WebMD, allaboutlifechallenges.org and weightloss.com. I also answered Bill Janin’s questions regarding hydration during cross-training and the anaerobic phase in exercise. The primary references used while researching these questions are sparkpeople.com and chemistry.about.com. The blog posts for this week are: * Drive Safe, Not Drowsy! * You’re Full of It.

 BH4BP #44 – Injuries: Strains and Sprains | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

Photo by cmaccubin via Flickr Back on show #40, I talked about ways to minimize or avoid muscle soreness and muscle cramps during exercise.  For those that didn’t hear that show, those are aches and pains that while painful, do not involve injury. In this show, I am going to cover exercise related injuries.  Specifically, I am going to discuss strains and sprains.  I will go over what they are, who is at risk for getting them, what to do when you get them and of course ways to avoid them. Some references I used while researching this show are The New Wellness Encyclopedia, Mayo Clinic and ahealthyme.com. I also answered Michele Ford’s question regarding the safety of Stevia.  The primary reference used while researching this question was the Mayo Clinic.

 BH4BP #43 – With Mood, It’s All About Food! | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

Photo by yomi955 via Flickr Have you ever noticed that after eating fast food, such as a cheap hamburger, fries and a soda, that you feel sluggish and tired afterwards?  And maybe even unhappy or unmotivated as well?  And have you ever noticed that after eating a healthy, nutritious meal you feel energetic, alert and ready to take on the world? That’s because what you eat affects your body chemistry, which can make you feel good and alert or it can make you feel lethargic, unhappy or even mildly depressed.  Since food plays a crucial role in shaping our moods, in this show I talk about how food affects our mood and what foods are associated with certain moods. For those people who want to learn more about caffeine, please go back and listen to Show 20, where I cover that topic. Also if you are interested in more information on Vitamin D, please go back and read the blog post “Know Your Vitamin D.” Some references I used while researching this show are cchs.net, medicinenet.com and iVillage.com. I also answered a question, asked by Saul Cervantes, regarding how much water a person should consume after working out.

 BH4BP #42 – Eating Healthy While Camping & On Road Trips | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

Photo by ninahale via Flickr It is that time of year again, where many of us start planning our next vacation. Vacations are a welcome break from the stress and monotony of work.  They’re an opportunity to rest and recharge from the stresses of everyday life.  Plus, they don’t have to be expensive, if that’s a concern for you.  With the economy being the way it is, many people are choosing to go camping or are going on long road trips instead of flying. In this show, I discuss why it is important to eat healthy on vacation and I also give tips on how to eat healthy while camping or while on long road trips. Here are the recipe links I mentioned that were given to me by Adrian Bertolini, my friend from Argentina who inspired the camping portion of the show: scoutoram.com, usscouts.org and boyscouttrail.com. For those people who want to know how to eat healthy at restaurants, please go back and listen to show 28, where I cover that topic. Some references I used while researching this show are camping.every1loves2travel.com and nutrition.about.com. The Blog Posts for this week are: * Financial Stress: The Piggy Bank is Half Full! * Pizza Doesn’t Have to Be Junk Food!

 BH4BP #41 – Winning the War Against Dry Skin | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 17:40

Photo by Dawvon via Flickr Did you know that skin is the largest organ in our bodies? It covers every part of us and we don’t pay much attention to it, with the exception of our faces, until it starts causing us problems, such as when we develop a rash and it starts itching. Since all of us have skin and have experienced skin irritations at one time or another, I thought it would be useful to talk about one of the most common skin concerns, dry skin, and ways to avoid it and treat it. Some references I used while researching this show are The New Wellness Encyclopedia, Wikipedia and Mayo Clinic. I also answered two questions, asked by Bill Janin about how many days a week it is optimal to exercise and what keeps us exercising. The Blog Posts for this week are: * Don’t Worry, Eat Your Fish! * Coffee’s Redeeming Quality: Antioxidants If you like the show, please head on over to iTunes and give me a nice review. It’s a great way to give me some good exposure and can help me get more listeners. Thanks for listening, everyone!
