The Key Player: Omega-3 vs. Omega-6 Fatty Acids

The study reveals that increasing your intake of omega-3 fatty acids while reducing omega-6s can dramatically impact your migraines. These fatty acids play crucial roles in your body’s inflammatory processes, and an imbalance can trigger migraine attacks. So, how do you achieve this balance?

Dr. Berry outlines four key steps:

1. Ditch the Linoleic Acid-Rich Oils: Bid farewell to safflower, grapeseed, sunflower, and other vegetable oils high in linoleic acid (an omega-6). These oils promote inflammation and contribute to migraines.

Swap them for healthier fats like butter, beef tallow, and bacon grease. I also use extra virgin olive oil and coconut oil.

This is also the main reason why we should avoid fast food – they cook food in these vegetable oils that are so damaging to our bodies. 2. Sugar Detox: Added sugars and high-sugar fruits (like mangoes and grapes) spike your insulin levels, disrupting hormone balance and potentially triggering migraines. Cut back on these culprits and opt for low-glycemic fruits and vegetables.

Sugar is the main ingredient of inflammation.

Inflammation and sugar co-exist. I can talk more about this but even the main reason for heart attacks is not mainly because of clogged arteries more so, the cause of arteries being clogged is because of inflammation caused by sugar. 3. Go Grain-Free: Grains like wheat, rice, and oats can also elevate insulin levels. Eliminate them from your diet to keep your hormones in check and potentially reduce migraines. 4. Ditch the Low-Fat Dairy: Milk and other low-fat dairy products contain high amounts of lactose (milk sugar), which raises insulin levels.

Stick to full-fat dairy or consider eliminating dairy altogether.

Where to get Omega-3?

Omega-3 fatty acids are important for overall health and brain function, and they can also be beneficial for reducing inflammation and potentially mitigating migraine symptoms. Here are some excellent sources of omega-3s, categorized by food type: Fatty Fish:

• Wild-caught salmon: The king of omega-3s, a 3.5-ounce serving packs about 1.5 grams of DHA and 0.5 grams of EPA.
• Mackerel: Another oily fish powerhouse, providing around 1.3 grams of DHA and 0.6 grams of EPA per 3.5-ounce serving.
• Herring: A smaller, budget-friendly option with 1.2 grams of DHA and 0.5 grams of EPA per 3.5-ounce serving.
• Sardines: Tiny but mighty, sardines deliver 0.9 grams of DHA and 0.4 grams of EPA per 3.5-ounce serving.
• Tuna: Opt for wild-caught tuna as it generally has higher omega-3 content than farmed varieties. A 3.5-ounce serving provides around 0.5 grams of DHA and 0.3 grams of EPA.

Plant-Based Sources:

• Chia seeds: A nutritional powerhouse, chia seeds boast 5 grams of omega-3s (mostly ALA) per tablespoon.
• Flaxseeds: Another great source of ALA, flaxseeds offer 4.5 grams of omega-3s per tablespoon. Grind them before consuming for better absorption.
• Walnuts: These delicious nuts provide 2.6 grams of ALA per cup.
• Soybeans: Edamame (immature soybeans) and tofu are good sources of plant-based omega-3s, with about 0.5 grams of ALA per half cup of edamame.
• Algae oil: A concentrated source of DHA and EPA, algae oil supplements can be a good option for vegetarians and vegans.

Other Sources:

• Eggs: While not as high as fatty fish, eggs offer a good amount of DHA and EPA, especially if enriched with omega-3s.
• Fortified foods: Some dairy products, such as milk and yogurt, are fortified with DHA and EPA. Read labels carefully to choose options with added omega-3s.

Tips for Increasing Omega-3 Intake:

• Incorporate a variety of omega-3-rich foods into your diet throughout the week.
• Add chia seeds or flaxseeds to smoothies, yogurt, or oatmeal.
• Snack on walnuts or almonds.
• Grill or bake fatty fish instead of frying for optimal omega-3 retention.
• Consider supplementation if you have difficulty meeting your omega-3 needs through diet alone.

Do I eliminate all sugar? Not necessarily. I eat fruits, vegetables, and dairy that have some sugar but I try not to have added sugars and I try to stay away from very refined sugars, which I notice would cause the start of a bad migraine. Changing your diet takes time and commitment. Experiment and find what works best for you. Watch Dr. Berry’s video explaining this in depth.     Sources: National Library of Medicine – Molecular mechanisms of omega-3 fatty acids in the migraine headache Harvard Health – The sweet danger of sugar National Library of Medicine -Inflammation, glucose, and vascular cell damage: the role of the pentose phosphate pathway  

Benefits of eating a little bit before a workout

• Provides energy for your workout. When you eat before a workout, your body has the fuel it needs to perform at its best. This can help you to work out for longer and at a higher intensity.
• Prevents muscle breakdown. When you don’t eat before a workout, your body may start to break down muscle for energy. This can lead to fatigue and soreness.
• Improves performance. Studies have shown that eating before a workout can improve performance. For example, one study found that cyclists who ate a carbohydrate-rich meal before a workout were able to cycle for longer than those who didn’t eat.
• Reduces hunger. Eating before a workout can help to reduce hunger during your workout. This can help you to focus on your workout and avoid distractions.

Reasons why it is not wise to do a workout without eating

• Low blood sugar. When you don’t eat before a workout, your blood sugar levels may drop. This can lead to dizziness, lightheadedness, and fatigue.
• Lack of energy. Without food, your body will not have the energy it needs to perform at its best. This can lead to a shorter and less intense workout.
• Increased risk of injury. When you are tired, you are more likely to make mistakes. This can increase your risk of injury.

Fasting before a workout

Now, here’s a question I always have in my mind. Is it better to be in a fasted state before a workout? Fasting before a workout is a popular trend among some athletes. However, there is limited scientific evidence to support the benefits of fasting before a workout. Some studies have shown that fasting can improve performance, while others have shown that it can have a negative impact on performance.

If you are considering fasting before a workout, it is important to talk to your doctor first. They can help you to determine if fasting is safe for you and can provide you with guidance on how to do it safely. In my opinion though, and from what I’ve read so far, I think it is better to eat a little bit of good carbs to fuel an effective workout. We’ll talk about what kind of food to eat down below.

Recommended foods to eat before a workout

• Good carbohydrates – carbs are the body’s primary source of energy. Good sources of carbohydrates for pre-workout meals include fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and yogurt.
• Protein – helps to repair and rebuild muscle tissue. Good sources of protein for pre-workout meals include lean meats, poultry, fish, eggs, and beans.
• Fat – helps to slow the digestion of carbohydrates, which can help to prevent blood sugar spikes. Good sources of fat for pre-workout meals include nuts, seeds, avocados, and olive oil. I need to note, that we must all avoid unhealthy, heavily processed fats such as vegetable oil which has a lot of harmful omega-6 fatty acids.

How many hours before a workout should we eat?

The ideal time to eat before a workout is 1-3 hours before. This will give your body time to digest your food and provide you with energy for your workout. If you are eating a smaller snack, you can eat it closer to your workout time.

Examples of pre-workout meals

• Oatmeal with berries and nuts
• Yogurt with granola and fruit
• A banana with peanut butter
• A hard-boiled egg
• A protein shake

Tips for eating before a workout

• If you are eating a large meal, eat it at least 3 hours before your workout.
• If you are eating a smaller snack, eat it 1-2 hours before your workout.
• Avoid eating greasy or fatty foods before a workout. These foods can be difficult to digest and can cause stomach upset.
• Drink plenty of water before, during, and after your workout.

By following these tips, you can ensure that you are properly fueled for your workout and can perform at your best.

The decision of whether or not to eat before a workout is a personal one. There is no right or wrong answer. The best approach is to experiment and find what works best for you. If you are unsure of what to do, talk to your doctor or a registered dietitian.

I am not a sneaker fan nor do I care much about brands. What I care about is something that’s simple, functional and would look good on me. I saw a friend who posted a photo of the Adidas Stella McCartney Pure Boost X and it was love at first sight.

I opened up to my boy about this and he helped me fine one online. He knows where to find great bargains off eBay and other sites but most are either sold out, or costs $350.

Luckily, we found a pair that’s my size, right here in the Philippines! I think 3 branches in Manila sell these Stella McCartney Pure Boost X adidas shoes – Powerplant, Greenbelt 3 and UP Town Center. I got mine with the right size at UP Town Center! LUCKY!!!

BOOST

The marshmallow bottom soles are composed of thousands of BOOST beads that respond instantly to give you energy.

Â

FLOATING ARCH There are lots of boost models now but what I like about this specific style is its floating arch. It fits and hugs your feed and supports your every step. No matter what form, shape or size your feet are.

Â

STRETCHWEB OUTSOLE

The outsole flexes and adapts to every stride you make. It’s really designed for running and I am quite particular about running shoes because I get injured when I wear the wrong ones. So far, so good with this pair!

  Â

It is rated 4.7 stars out of 5 in the official adidas website and 92% of users recommend it. I highly recommend this as well! There are other color variants but the nude style is the one I fancy. Nude shoes make me look taller. It always looks like my legs are extended to the ground and not broken by any line. When you are not gifted in height, trust me it helps!  Â

These Pure Boost X adidas by Stella McCartney gives me a great fit and reviews have been saying it fits all foot types! I bought 1 size larger though because I always use socks and 1 size larger feels more comfortable for me. I also love the free-floating arch support under the midfoot that gives my feet support and a smooth feel.

The primeknit material also designed to naturally expand with your foot while you run. It hugs well but is also comfortable and light.

Â

 I’m not sure if we even need the strap… It looks cooler with the strap though. I also like the unique strap lacing system, synthetic sidewall panels for stability, sock construction and reflective heel cap! I didn’t notice the reflective heel cap until I was actually wearing them. It also has welded overlays for support and adaptive dynamic fit for optimal flexibility. I love how lightweight the shoes are, contributed to the STRETCHWEB rubber outsole that is light and elastic. This easily adapts to the ground for stability and works well with the unique properties of boost from touchdown to push-off. Â

Maximize your body’s performance, reach and maintain top condition, and feel better than ever. For good.

Most people think that I am always healthy and my body is strong. This, of course, is my goal. While I’d like that to be always true, there are still a few things I would like to improve on my body. The fact that I always try to work out and eat healthy, doesn’t mean that I can just ignore other signs that my body is telling me.

Sometimes, I am not sure if I am over-training and making my muscles suffer too much fatigue. Or I don’t know if it’s just my posture. But one of the main problems I face is my upper back. It always feels uncomfortable. It does not hurt. But sometimes, I just feel like I need a massage every day! That does not sound good and normal!

Lucky for me, I heard about Polarity Physiotherapy. When I heard that this place exists, I went immediately to have my upper back checked. Enough of the questions, it’s time I have an expert in myofascia take a look at my chronic pain.

Polarity Physiotherapy

Polarity is an advanced manual physiotherapy and myosfacial release center located in #47 Examiner St. Quezon City.

Â

   – MFR techniques focus on relaxing the deep tissue of the body providing lasting and effective relief to the patient.
   – It uses slow and sometimes deep pressure to restore the proper health of the fascia.

2. Physiotherapy – a science-based profession and takes a ‘whole person’ approach to health and well being, which includes the patient’s general lifestyle. At the core is the patient’s involvement in their own care, through education, awareness, empowerment and participationin their treatment.

If you have been having chronic pain that won’t just go away, I highly recommend this place. After my first Myofascial release with one of the therapists, I felt my spine and posture improve, the pain gone for about a month and relief from feeling uncomfortable with my upper back all the time.

Even if their location is far from where I live, I would make time to go back here again.

“If it doesn’t involve you stepping outside, touching other people, it is pointless.” says Under Armour’s ambassador Emmanuelle Adda, a French-Filipina performing artist and fitness enthusiast. She is referring to expanding her enthusiasm for fitness and spreading this passion to other people.

Under Armour Power in Pink celebrates those who use sports, fitness and an active lifestyle in the fight against breast cancer. Under Armour will donate a minimum of $500 to various breast cancer centers and charities through their Power in Pink program.

Inspiring change
I could relate quite well to Emmanuelle’s firm belief as stated above. Lately, I have been on a mission to become the best version of me. With the help of friends, fitness mentors, nutrition coach, doctors and the support of loved ones, I slowly am headed to becoming my best self in all aspects of my humanity. By slowly changing and transforming myself, I realized that my students, friends, readers and followers slowly notice the positive changes in me, and then I began to realize, I could in fact inspire change or make an impact in other people’s lives. I respond slowly to fitness questions via email, skin and beauty tips via social media and facebook messages and even as as far as giving advice to people who are emotionally distraught. I think one thing my readers know about me is that I am transparent in my struggles and they see the real deal. I blog about these things, but more importantly, I never fail to share that I am always trying to stand right back on my feet, dust off some negative juices and try again.

Blogging could surely take up a lot of my time. Traveling from one event to another, writing and documenting travels, hours of research and content writing too, and so on and so forth. I am not even blogging for the money, nor is this my main source of income. I blog continously so that I could send a message to everyone that they can achieve anything they want to as long as they put their heart to it.

Success is not as sweet, when you keep it to yourself. Success is best when shared. And I applaud Under Armour fo their campaign “Women of Will”, which engages women of different shapes, ages and bckground to immerse themselves more into active lifestyle and fitness.

Women of Will goes Urban

Under Armour has designed whole month-long fitness activities for women who want to empower themselves. These activities have already begun, starting with the breakfast group “Girls Run”, headed by Tessa Prieto and Under Armour athlete Doray Elis last October 28, as they tried Under Armour sports bra in their fitness yoga and run. These activities are now being conducted regularly for the month of November together with partner gyms and women groups.

TheWomen of Will campaign rallies to fight against breast cancer so be sure to check out these dates and GET ARMOURED!

• Women of Will Wednesdays at Urban Ashram. All Wednesdays of November
• Total Wellness and Fitness Saturdays at Edsa Shangri-La Health Club. All Saturdays of November!
• Exclusive Tea Fitness Party at Raffles Hotel. ovember 0, 2015 at :0 pm.

A girl in her teenage years would usually grow up confused with her body transformation. That was me. I went into puberty earlier than my classmates and I thought it was a horrible thing to have my chest growing. My classmates teased me and I slouched all the time, uncofortable of this change.

I was a dancer too and it involved a lot of jumping and moving around. I was embarrassed to ask my mom for undergarment, but I had to. We went to the mall and my first bra is actually Triumph.

As far as I remember, Triumph has been around and recently I just found out that they have been around for about 130 years already! They know what they’re doing and years and years of research, development and experience made them a leading brand in feminine lingerie and shapewear.

The New Trimph Sports Bra Collection.

I was so happpy to hear that Triumph has unveiled their new sports bra collection, tailored for women with active and sporty lifestyle. I am also very happy that being fit is becoming the norm in society. I am a firm believer of loving your own body shape and body type but imortantly, loving your body and becoming the best that you can be. If that does not make sense, all I’m trying to say is that health is wealth. It is our responsibility to take care of our bodies. I am really happy that people are actively changing their lifestyles and now eat healthy and do more physical activities.

Yaye for an awesome life, together!

The last thing that we want to worry about while we go for a good workout is our workout garments! Our bodies are different but it is important to find the right underarment that is reliable and give a full support we need. Triumph has been making lingerie since 1886 and I trust the reliability of the sports bra collection that they just crafted to low, medium and high impact support needs. All these styles are soft to the touch, suportive, yet comfortable, and are made of super breathable fabric while combining fit, comfort, and support for every kind of active lifestyle.

Low Impact Sprots Bra

The Low Impact Sports Bras come in two razorback styles. One is designed with a flattering low cut front and a thicker razorback, which comes in white and dark grey. The other was designed with a higher neckline for additional support and coverage and with a thinner razorback for a balanced feel, and is available in the colors pink and black. These two bras were made for comfortable low impact activities such as Yoga, basic floor exercises and Pilates.

Medium Impact Sports Bra

If you enjoy medium impact sports like jogging, cycling, cross training and body combat, then this is the bra for you. Add some flair to your sports outfit with the striped designof this sports bra, which come in bright red, cyan and black. It has a higher front to ensure that you don

t need to worry about readjusting yourself. A thicker mesh razorback is in place as well to make sure that your back receives adequate support to help improve posture.

High Impact Sports Bra

This bra is made for freedom of movement and is ideal for ihh impact ball sports such as volleybal, football, basketball, including other actvities such as step aerobics, and Zumba.  The Hih Impact Sports Bra, too, comes in bright stylish pops of colors such as red, cyan, teal and the ever classic black, and is made with very breathable material while remaining functional and stylish enough to wear alone. It has a high front and the thickest straps to provide maximum support on its own so you can exercise without worrying about underwear malfunctions.

Amy Ahomiro for Triumph Sports Bras

Amy Amohiro, the UAAP Season 77 Finals MVP player of the Ateneo de Manila University Volleybal team, has shed her share of blood, sweat and tars for the love of her sport. Seeing her inperson, and knowing about her achievements, I am pretty ure there was a lot of work and effort put there and she sure is the perfect girl to represent Triumph Sports Bras.

We attended a Body Combat group class together (kilig) and she jumps super high!!! 😛
So whether you want something to simply wear around or to help you get the most out of your fitness routine, Triumph has something perfect for you. Visit the Triumph Store at Robinsons Place Manolia or one of their many branches at all major department stores nearest you and get fitted so you can find the one 🙂

  Get fitted now 🙂

   Fits me really well. High enough for chest coverage and I love the sexy razorback showing of the back that I’ve been working on teehee

  Me after our Body Combat class! Punch like a girl 😉 👊🏻

Me with Amy after Body Combat

When I was almost done with my NESTLÉ FITNESSE 14-Day Program, I felt the change even without checking with the scale yet. My clothes were fitting me okay, my jeans are easier to wear with and everything just felt more comfortable!

I guess that’s the real essence of losing weight. It makes you feel more comfortable, then it has a domino effect on your whole well-being: you feel good, you exude confidence and in turn, you do better at work or in school, your social life booms and everyone would say "blooming ka ah!" That indeed was what happened to me. People keep noticing my change in weight that even my pole instructors were amazed at the "healthy" weight I now have.

From this

to this

from 119 lbs to 115 lbs

28 in to 26 in

Mission Accomplished!

But I’m not quite finished yet, I’m planning to maintain this weight and do the NESTLÉ FITNESSE 14-Day Program twice a quarter (since it is not a recommended REGULAR diet).

BEING FIT adds QUALITY to your Life

It all boils down to quality of life. With proper diet, nutrition and exercise, you would feel great and you would love the life and enjoy it with your family and loved ones! 

The best part is, after my NESTLÉ FITNESSE 14-Day Program, I seem to pick healthier foods and crave less of the junk! It’s also all about training your body for the proper eating habits!

Exercise and diet, when both combined, gives you great results!

So yes, exercise is good with my new healthy lifestyle kicked off by my 14-Day Nestle Fitnesse diet!   Find your exercise!  Find the exercise that fits your schedule and your goal.  As for me, I’ve been busy lately but there’s no excuse to exercise – I exercise at home.

The often most neglected part of any exercise is warm-up, stretching and conditioning.

And since I burned some good calories after a good exercise at home, I have to put bananas in my NESTLÉ FITNESSE cereal for dinner and maybe add 1 hard-boiled egg for protein (for muscle repair). My goal is to lose the fat and gain healthy muscle!

The most important part about the NESTLÉ FITNESSE 14-Day Program is that it trains my body to crave less, eat healthy, less of the junk, but at the same time it doesn’t deprive me of a full-on healthy meal every day! It trains my body to eat more nutritious food that complements my exercise, making it more effective in losing weight!

They also say, the more you exercise, the more you improve your body’s metabolism. NESTLÉ FITNESSE 14-Day Program also has the same goal. By eating 2 meals of NESTLÉ FITNESSE Cereal, 1 balanced meal, and 2 healthy snacks in between is actually more effective in improving my body’s metabolism than skipping meals and starving myself. This is based on my past experiences when I do 2-day crash diets and then end up gaining more weight than I should.
