Meet the Maca Root

    

The Maca Root is the king of the endocrine modulating foods and is the top anti-depressant feel good food. The maca root is a food staple for the people of the Andes mountains in Peru. It only grows at 14,000 feet in areas of intense sunlight, strong winds and below freezing temperatures where no other crops can survive. Its nutritional profile is impressive with a high protein content in the form of polypeptides and amino acids, rich in fatty acids, minerals and vitamins. It is also called "Peruvian Ginseng" because it has similar effects as an adaptogen, athletic performance enhancer and improves sexual health for both men and women. Maca helps support muscle recovery and tone. Important to maca is the presence of "Sterols" which look structurally similar to many of the hormones in our bodies. And just like the cruciferous vegetables, Maca has I3C, the potent cancer fighting phytochemical. There are also a number of unique compounds in Maca that support womens symptoms of menopause or osteoporosis. Maca root comes in powder form that can be added to your protein shakes or smoothies. Take 1-2 heaping teaspoons of maca root powder everyday added to your smoothie for increased muscle strength, recovery and endurance and a better mood too!

Come rain, sleet or snow...

We are what we think,

                        Having become what we thought.      

                        Like the wheel that follows the cart-pulling ox,        

                        Sorrow follows an evil thought.                     

                        And joy follows a pure thought,

                        Like a shadow faithfully tailing a man.

                        We are what we think,

                        Having become what we thought.

                                                                        -The Dhammapada

If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due

                        to the thing itself but to your own estimate of it – and this you

                        have the power to revoke at any moment.

                                                                        -Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

These are two quotes are are at the root of our training approach here at XTREME!  If you learn to how your thoughts play into your day and in turn your life you will in essence learn how to design the life you want.

Health tip: Enjoy things for what they are...listen the weather has been making living in New York difficult, there is no denying that, but your mental approach to that will make all the difference.  Yes, it can be a pain in the ass, but take a moment to enjoy the snow, the rain the essence that exits in what mother nature is doing.  Just for a moment, take a a few deep breaths and enjoy it.  

Diet Tip: Salad.  Eat a salad with every meal tomorrow and notice how much better you feel by the end of the day.
