Does Red Meat Give You Colon Cancer?

Image
Have you heard? There’s a new “red meat will kill you” study. This time, it’s colorectal cancer. Here’s the press release . Here’s the full study . I covered this a couple Sundays ago in “Sunday with Sisson.” If you haven’t signed up for that, I’d recommend it . SWS is where I delve into my habits, practices, and observations, health-related and health-unrelated—stuff you won’t find on the blog. Anyway, I thought I’d expand on my response to that study here today. How the Study Was Conducted It’s the basic story you see with most of these observational studies. Around 175,000 or so people were asked to recall what they ate on a regular basis—a food frequency questionnaire. This is the exact questionnaire , in fact. The research team took the answers, measured some baseline characteristics of all the subjects—socioeconomic status, exercise levels, whether they smoked, education level, occupation, family history of colorectal cancer, and a few others—and then followed up with parti

Mazen has really started to get into sports lately! I had never heard him mention baseball or basketball before, and he apparently knows about both. I assume from PE class or the school playground. Thomas had a lightweight bat and ball that we broke out on Saturday, and Mazen and Grammie played lots of ball-bouncing games during her visit. Matt took him to the Nike store here in town and he came home with the above head-to-toe outfit. He looks so grown up to me here! (Love the kicks!) It was a sports weekend because the whole crew came to my soccer game on Sunday. I played over 90 minutes through, and boy was I beat by the end. I loved having everyone come to the game. I could hear Mazen cheering “Go Kaaaath” while I ran. Haha! I covered about 7 miles!  My legs were throbbing at bedtime and I couldn’t fall asleep until hours later when I covered them in DoTerra Deep Blue. It might have been a little too much soccer! On Monday I simply walked because I didn’t want to do anything m

Euro Party Night

Yesterday was such a fun day for our little family, who, for the record, has some really great ideas for our Sunday afternoon. Mal had a random craving for a charcuteri board, and Quinn suggested a party, specifically a “party night.” We decided to combine their ideas for a “Euro Party Night” since stopping by our local Euro Mart was key to the evening. If you’re local, you definitely need to check out this place. The imported cured meats are absolutely incredible. I actually didn’t know I liked salami until yesterday! It was so flavorful and not fake-tasting like a lot of grocery story salamis often are. The guy behind the counter actually said if he wants to impress someone, he’ll offer them a sample of the salami, and I definitely know why now. We were immediately sold! 🙂 The Euro Mart also sells Kinder Eggs , which are SO FUN, it’s hard to wait until you get home to open them! Back at home, Quinn was in full on party mode. He was totally into it and took charge with the

Fasting Gave Me a Better Approach To Maintain My Weight Without Restrictions

It’s Monday, everyone! And that means another Primal Blueprint Real Life Story from a Mark’s Daily Apple reader. If you have your own success story and would like to share it with me and the Mark’s Daily Apple community please contact me here . I’ll continue to publish these each Monday as long as they keep coming in. Thank you for reading! My name is Garland Niblett and I am a nutritional consultant and co-owner of Fit & Faithful Wellness . This is my story. In 2011 I was admitted to the Veterans Affairs hospital and diagnosed with PTSD. From there, I basically gave up on myself, both mentally and physically. I was once a 195 lbs., 3% body fat natural bodybuilder; and then, while I was in the VA hospital, I became a 301 lbs. “unrecognizable” individual. I had become overweight and was even classified as morbidly obese. Benztropine, diazepam, cholecalciferol, Etodolac, methocarbamol, mirtazapine, amlodipine, aripiprazole, prazosin, quetiapine, and simvastatin. These were all

We had some visitors this weekend who made things extra fun around here! My parents tried to visit us not once but twice this winter and both times they had to cancel the trip because of winter colds. With a little baby at home, we just didn’t want to risk him getting sick. Especially since snuggling him was one of the main reasons they were coming! But this time they made it. Birch was excited to see his Grammie! Friday On Friday Thomas and I had an early quiche dinner and then headed to ACAC for a rooftop party. It was Chris’s annual birthday bash! Unfortunately the wind was strong and temps quite cold up there, but we still had a good time. The man, the myth, the legend. I brought a cake from Foods Of All Nations!! The 26 is because my birthday is his half birthday and vice versa so we share a love for the number 26. I think some people were confused by his age, but he got the joke. I didn’t even think about age when I requested it! Saturday Saturday morning was gorgeo
