#1: Soy is BAD!….I get a lot of questions about whether soy is good or bad. There are a ton of articles out there that go back and forth. I don’t like soy–it is estrogenic and can flame the fire of estrogen related illness. People say that look at the wonderful health of people in Asia. The truth, if you dig deep enough, is that in Asia, they soy consumption is relatively low. Stay clear of soy. Here is a good summary from the Weston Price website.
#2:Progesterone is GREAT!…Beyond all of the calming, soothing effects it provides women, Progesterone is healing. Check out this article which explains about the potential use of Progesterone in head trauma.
#3: Strength training can lower risk of cancer…..a well done study was recently published in a respected journal that revealed that those individuals who strength train (weights and body weight) had close to a 40% reduction in RISK of getting cancer. Bottom line: strength training is not only beneficial for this reason, but truly is the only way to change body composition in a favorable manner.
That’s it. Again, Happy 4th of July!
