Mainstream media is lying to you.

The foods they say are killing you…

Are actually superfoods.

Here are 8 food you should be eating every day:

1. Salt

Myth: Causes high blood pressure and heart disease.

Truth: While excessive sodium intake can be harmful, salt is essential for:

• Hydration
• Nerve function
• Muscle contractions

The key is balance and choosing quality sources like sea salt or Himalayan salt.

7. Eggs

Myth: High in cholesterol, bad for your heart.

Truth: Eggs are a great source of high-quality protein, vitamins, and healthy fats.

They actually raise HDL (good) cholesterol and are not linked to heart disease in most people.

6. Red Meat

Myth: Causes cancer and heart disease.

Truth: Lean cuts of red meat are rich in protein, iron, zinc, and B vitamins.

It's about choosing quality and moderation, not elimination.

5. Full-Fat Dairy

Myth: High fat leads to obesity and heart problems.

Truth: Full-fat dairy contains essential fatty acids, vitamins A and D, and can help with satiety, reducing overall calorie intake.

4. Potatoes

Myth: High in carbs, leads to weight gain.

Truth: Potatoes are rich in potassium, fiber, and vitamins C and B6.

When prepared healthily (like baked or boiled), they can be part of a balanced diet.

3. Butter

Myth: High in saturated fat, clogs arteries.

Truth: Butter, especially grass-fed, is a source of vitamins A, D, E, and K.

In moderation, it can be part of a healthy diet.

2. Dark Chocolate

Myth: High in sugar and fat, unhealthy treat.

Truth: Dark chocolate is rich in antioxidants, particularly flavonoids, which can improve heart health.

Opt for varieties with 70% cocoa or more.

1. Coffee

Myth: Causes dehydration and heart issues.

Truth: Coffee is packed with antioxidants and can:

• Boost metabolism
• Improve brain function
• Lower the risk of certain diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.

Conclusion:

Don’t let mainstream media brainwash you into being unhealthy.

The most common issue in the gym:

Shoulder injuries.

After spending $83,476 on an Exercise Science Degree…

I figured out exactly how to solve this problem.

Here's what's causing it (& how to prevent it from happening to you):

1. Why do shoulder injuries happen?

Think of your shoulder like a car tire.

If the alignment is slightly off…

You might not notice at first.

But eventually?

That tire is going to blow out.

Your shoulders work the same way:

• Small form mistakes compound over time
• Poor posture creates muscle imbalances
• Internal rotation weakens stability
• Progressive overload amplifies these issues

But here's what most people don't realize...

75% of Americans are dehydrated.

The problem?

Drinking water is only half of the equation.

Here are 6 key ways to truly hydrate the human body:

(Your Doctor won’t tell you this)

6. Electrolyte Balance.

Why It Matters:

Electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and magnesium are crucial for maintaining:

• Fluid balance
• Nerve function
• Muscle contractions

Without them, water alone can't effectively hydrate your cells.

How to Get It:

Incorporate foods rich in electrolytes like:

• Bananas
• Avocados
• Leafy greens

Also, consider adding a pinch of sea salt to your water or drinking electrolyte solutions.

Especially after intense exercise or sweating.

Telling yourself you don’t have enough time to exercise is the reason you’re fat.

Here are 7 tips that will get you more out of a 30-minute workout than 96% of people get out of a 2-hour workout:

1. Train with intensity.

You should be at RIR (reps in reserve) 0-2 during all working sets.

This means you are only leaving 0-2 reps in the tank.

If you can still do 3 or more reps at the end of your sets …

You shouldn’t be complaining about your results

2. Prioritize compound movements.

Big movements use multiple large muscle groups which is perfect when you are pressed for time

Capitalize on the hundreds of variations of the following movements:

Squat
Deadlift
Bench Press
Overhead Press

The most versatile medicine in the world:

Baking Soda.

They want you to think it's just for baking...

But this simple ingredient can do amazing things for the human body.

8 ways to use baking soda to enhance your health:

1. Balances pH

Baking soda is alkaline, meaning it neutralizes acids.

This helps bring balance to different areas of your body.

• Acidic foods
• Stomach acid
• Acid build-up on your skin

People even use it to balance their internal pH, which is crucial for overall health.

2. Natural Antacid

Got heartburn or acid reflux?

Mix a teaspoon of baking soda in water to neutralize stomach acid.

This quick and natural remedy provides fast relief, making it a much healthier option than over-the-counter antacids.
