Too Much Screen Time?

Suffer from headaches?  Often fatigued during the day?  Having trouble sleeping?  Ever thought about how long your eyeballs stare at a screen all day and the effects that could have on the body?

High0energy blue light is all around an dis part of the visible spectrum of light that enters the eye while we are outdoors.  But the intense blue light from screens sends out eyes to signal the brain and cause a chemical and oxidative change in us.

Lets take a look at the macula of the eye, the region of the eye responsible for sharp focused vision.  The macula is the most vulnerable to the damaging effects of blue light because it receives the highest concentration of the light, compared to other regions of the eye.

So ever felt eyestrain from driving long distance?  Especially at nighttime?  Well blue light can cause the same effects only more significant and with eventual degeneration of the eye, resulting in eye loss.

Children to teens and adults all average around 8-10 hours a day in front of a screen of some sort.  How attached are you to your devices?

But there is a solution and it's all based around the science of food and how it heals us.  Catenoids, lotion and zeaxanthin are found in yellow, orange and green foods which are protective against the harmful effects of blue light.  Lutein is related to vitamin A and is concentrated in the macula, so it's a necessary component of healthy vision.  Kale, squash, collard greens, corn, spinach, swiss chard, peas, arugula, brussel sprouts, broccoli, rabe, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, carrots, asparagus and egg yolks are all compounds rich in carotenoid.

So when you want more protection against a lot of blue light exposure.  Make sure you strengthen you eyes and produce a diet that is also rich is Omega-3 DHA.

Good looking out for your eye ball right?  LOL!

What is Whey and Caesin Protein? Dairy protein supplements best selling 2 source of protein powders on the market. How do these powerhouses compare?  Both are complete proteins with amino acids and easily digested by 97% in the body.  Both are extremely popular but don’t share the same benefits. Whey-  their digestion faster rate to reach amino acids higher and reach blood faster Caesin-with a curdling effect is slower up to 8 hours in the body and slowly digested. Lucien is a amino binding syntheses and has more immediate to the body with whey and spikes blood sugars higher but Caesin carries more protein syntheses is also leaves the blood elevated up to 36 hours which releases less Lucien levels than whey. So which one is the best one to take? Caesin focused on protein breakdown with less luecin but whey has a faster generated effect to effect muscle gains in a quicker process.  So yes, whey is a short part more faster to recover but ...

I got offered a position at KSHP Radio!

Since I have not been on social media for 3 days I have been thinking about all the online work I used to do in radio as a VOA and Radio Broadcaster.   I really enjoyed the face to face connections I did back at KLAV1230am and VANR Online and the relationships part is what I hold very dear to my heart.  Since my family is in Ca and I don't have kids, my family tends to be the people I spend the most of my time with in and out of the gym.  This part of finding my true career path has lead me to where I am today but I still know that with my time and energy that there is more for me to pursue to making more of an income.  So, today as I was driving down Jones heading to my chiropractor at Canyon Lake Neck and Back, I passed by KLAV, an old radio station I was training at years ago and had a thought that I should stop in and say hi.  Overtime I've driven by there on my way for my back adjustment and something tells me to go back in there, so today I did....
