52 Weeks of Healthy Eating: Let’s Talk About Blood Sugar

Last updated on: June 28, 2021 at 1:31 pm By Rob Giannamore

It has been far too long and I kinda fell off the horse before Memorial Day and then June escaped me. This week, a short piece on blood sugars. We have all been there, “hangry”, it is one of my core questions when asking why a child or an adult act in an off manner, is the person hungry? Why do we get angry when we are hungry? The short answer is our blood sugar drops, but what does that... Read more

Appalachian Trail Adventures

Last updated on: May 29, 2021 at 4:22 pm By Rob Giannamore

This Memorial Day weekend, I am taking my 14 year old daughter, Faith on a section hike of the Appalachian Trail in Maryland. Things did not work out as planned. Day 1- Departure and Sightseeing Day 2: Mason Dixon Line to Cowal Shelter We would hike 10 miles today and it would be about 6 miles in that I knew Faith was in trouble. We hit multiple sections of rocks like the ones seen below and several pointless ups and... Read more

52 Weeks of Healthy Eating: Intermittent Fasting

Last updated on: May 26, 2021 at 6:43 pm By Rob Giannamore

I missed a post last week and I apologize, I was on adventures. On Sunday, May 23rd, Phil Mickleson would become the oldest player in history to win the Professional Golf Associations(PGA) tournament at the age of 50. This week I want to look at his diet, which he is crediting to his success. Mr. Mickleson used a form of intermittent fasting, something that I have been playing around with over the last few years and most recently, spent the... Read more

52 Weeks of Healthy Eating: Physical Health and Christianity

Last updated on: May 17, 2021 at 1:27 pm By Rob Giannamore

I was asked recently to speak about why it is important for Christians to be physically healthy. This post is going to be bit different than my last posts and will cover a lot of religious language that may not be appropriate for some of my readers. From first blush, the line from the Bible that comes to mind is the whole notion of our bodies being temples and then my ADHD goes down a track and looks at the... Read more

52 Weeks of Healthy Eating: Chronic Pain and Obesity

Last updated on: May 9, 2021 at 6:15 pm By Rob Giannamore

Well, I did not write a post last week. I took a nasty spill on my bike on Saturday and Sunday was spent just trying to make it through with what I think was a broken pinky, mangled knuckes, sprained wrist and jacked up shoulder. I rode 30 miles in the Black Fork Gravel Grinder down near Loudonville, Ohio in a state park called Mohican State Park. The day was perfect and I really rode well, until the last 7... Read more

52 Weeks of Healthy Eating: Physical Literacy

Last updated on: April 26, 2021 at 8:49 pm By Rob Giannamore

This week, I want to look at a concept I came across in a recent training, the idea of physical literacy. Physical literacy is defined as “the motivation, confidence, physical competence, knowledge, and understanding to value and take responsibility for engagement in physical activities for life.” – The International Physical Literacy Association, May 2014. In this blog, I talk a lot about nutrition and this truly is only part of the puzzle. As poor diets are the trend right now,... Read more

52 Weeks of Healthy Eating: The Role of Vitamins B3 and B6 in the Diet

Last updated on: April 19, 2021 at 2:16 pm By Rob Giannamore

The Vitamin B complex is comprised of 8 B vitamins: B-1 (thiamine) B-2 (riboflavin) B-3 (niacin) B-5 (pantothenic acid) B-6 (pyridoxine) B-7 (biotin) B-9 (folic acid) B-12 (cobalamin) Today, I want to look at B 3 and B 6 and their role in mental health. In a previous post, I talked about how you are what you eat and with the B vitamins, this could not be further from the truth. Both B 3 and B 6 play roles in... Read more

52 Weeks of Healthy Eating: COVID SARS 19 and Weigh Gain

Last updated on: April 11, 2021 at 9:16 pm By Rob Giannamore

The other day, I heard a disturbing statistic that suggested that at the height of our COVID-19 lockdown, some people were gaining .5lbs a week. Lightly called the COVID 19, it is indeed a real problem that some have had to deal with during this pandemic. This week, I would like to address this issue. For many of those who work desk jobs, myself included, we have either moved to working from home or in some capacity are still working... Read more

52 Weeks of Healthy Eating: Gut and Inflamation

Last updated on: April 4, 2021 at 6:46 pm By Rob Giannamore

This week, I want to talk about the gut’s role in inflamation. What you eat is what you are. Food can impact systemic inflamation in the body. There are auto immune diseases that can lead chronic inflamation. Gastritis is one such condition where the lining of the stomach becomes inflamced. Gastritis is linked to a bacteria that causes ulcers in the stomach. Pain relievers and excess alcohol can contribute to gastritis. Other inflamations are or can be normal respsonses to... Read more
