On March 8th, Christine will launch her first book. She discusses it on today's podcast.

Here is a brief description:

Through years of coaching and research, Christine has discovered the key to fat loss is eating the optimum ratio of macronutrients—protein, carbohydrates, and fat—for your body. In UNLOCK YOUR MACRO TYPE, there is no golden ratio that works for everyone; instead, your ideal varies depending on your body type and carb tolerance. And many readers will discover they should actually be eating more calories, not less! Christine teaches us about the five Macro Types, bio-individual nutritional blueprints rooted in science and backed by real-world results.

Less sugar may actually help muscles repair themselves
https://www.studyfinds.org/less-sugar-help-muscle-repair/

Blood sugar, or glucose, is usually an essential ingredient in cellular growth. However, a recent study finds having less sugar in the blood may actually help muscles repair themselves faster. Researchers in Japan say the cause of this connects to the behavior of a special type of stem cell which doesn’t seem to react well with glucose.

A team from Tokyo Metropolitan University found that skeletal muscle satellite cells are “key players” in muscle repair. Moreover, their study finds these cells grow more when there is less glucose in the body. Typically, scientists have found that mammal cells function better when there’s more sugar to fuel their actions.

10 minutes of running makes people happier and boosts brain performance
https://www.studyfinds.org/running-happier-boosts-brain/

A quick, 10-minute run may be all you need to boost your mood and think more quickly, a recent study reveals.

Scientists in Japan say 10 minutes of moderate intensity running each day increases blood flow to the part of the brain that regulates our mood and ability to carry out complex mental tasks. The findings by a team at the University of Tsukuba may help scientists discover a broader range of treatments and recommendations to help people struggling with their mental health.

To test their hypothesis, they used the Stroop Color-Word test — which measures a person’s ability to process contradictory information — to capture changes in brain activity as participants performed different tasks.

Pandemic paralysis: Only 1 in 10 teens getting enough exercise during COVID

Just nine percent of American teens are getting enough physical activity during the pandemic, a new study reveals. Researchers from the United States and Canada say that number has fallen significantly from the already paltry 16 percent getting enough exercise prior to COVID-19.

Health experts have recommended that kids get about 60 minutes of physical activity per day, especially in the midst of the pandemic, which has increased the number of sedentary habits both children and adults participate in.

Coming In 2022: "Unlock Your Macro Type" - A new book by Christine Hronec https://gaugegirltraining.com/pages/book

Eating choline-heavy diet during pregnancy can boost child’s attention span
https://www.studyfinds.org/choline-pregnancy-attention-spans/

Going overboard on eggs and lean meat while pregnant can help mothers give their children a better attention span, a new study finds. Researchers from Cornell University say consuming twice the recommended amount of choline leads to children displaying better focus during tasks which require constant attention.

Choline is an essential nutrient for both humans and animals. It’s important for chemical reactions in the nervous system and for the development of normal brain functioning. Common sources of choline include egg yolks, lean red meat, fish, poultry, nuts, and cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and cabbage.

Fat cells give the body energy to combat infections
https://www.studyfinds.org/fat-cells-combat-infections/

Don’t be in a rush to lose that extra fat from the holidays, it might actually help you fight infections. That’s the conclusion of a new study that discovered another way of boosting the body’s immune system: fatty acids. As the main component of fat, researchers from the University of East Anglia say fatty acids provide the immune system with energy to fight harmful bacteria, like Salmonella.

Due to the overuse of antibiotics, bacteria are becoming increasingly drug-resistant over time. The World Health Organization (WHO) warns that antibiotic resistance is one of the “biggest threats to global health, food security, and development today.”

A mother’s diet during pregnancy can impact child’s health well into teens
https://www.studyfinds.org/mothers-diet-during-pregnancy-childs-health-teens/

Women who don’t watch what they eat during pregnancy can affect their child’s health well into their teenage years. Nutrition during pregnancy plays a pivotal role in determining the child’s body mass index (BMI) even during adolescence, according to a new study.

Children who are overweight, meaning their BMI is above 24.9, have an increased risk of asthma, type 2 diabetes, and orthopedic disorders. In the U.S., almost 15 million children and adolescents are obese. Following a Mediterranean-style diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and oils, as well as in sources of vitamin D and omega-3 could help remedy this, the study’s authors said.
