Sedfiter Science

Yo sedfiters!

I found this video accidentally this morning.

It seems that you can moderately boost your testosterone production by listening to those frequencies for a certain amount of time.

I'm still very sceptical about it, but i will give it a try and let you know!

Here is an example, but you could find lot more on youtube.

There are three mains source of fuel for our body ( for ours body cells to be more specific)

• Fat
• Carbohydrates
• Proteins

Since proteins are used by the body in cases of extremely calories defect ( not enough amino-acids for more important vital functions ), we use mainly fat and carbohydrates for energy.



But what is metabolic flexibility ?
Basically is the ability of our body to switch between carbs and fats and vice-versa.
So this is what happens:

• When we ingest carbohydrate, metabolic flexibility helps us control blood glucose, by burning glucose instead of fat

• When we ingest fat without carbohydrate, met flex helps us burn the fat instead of storing it.

• When we fast (and everyone “fasts” while they sleep), met flex helps us burn the fat stored on our butt, instead of becoming hungry for sugar or going catabolic.

• When we exercise, met flex lets us burn more stored fat and produce more energy at all levels of effort. We can run faster, jump higher, move more weight, and go longer on less food before we “hit the wall.” 

Sadly, with a sedentary life of a bad diet, the metabolic flexibility might be impaired, this means that we are not switching between energy source as we should:

• We have higher and more rapid blood sugar spikes and crashes. We all know this is unhealthy—but it also makes us more dependent on stimulants and bready, sugary snacks to maintain our mood, our attention span, and our ability to stay awake after meals.
• A continual demand for glucose at rest means we will become hungry much sooner after eating. Specifically, we become hungry for sugar and carbohydrate in order to “keep our energy up”
• Then, if we manage to ignore these hunger signals through willpower, our body is likely to reduce our energy expenditure in response, making us feel tired and listless, and making weight loss even more laborious. (At extremes, this can manifest itself as poor cold tolerance, and other signs and symptoms of hypothyroidism.)
• Consequently, intermittent fasting and heavy caloric restriction are likely to be both difficult and unsuccessful for the metabolically inflexible.

Impaired fat oxidation contributes to insulin resistance, and a consequent inability to increase or diminish glucose oxidation.

How all this is going to improve our diet?

If our goal is fat-loss, then it could be a very good idea to optimize our metabolic flexibility in order to have better results in less time.
 
Moderate exercise can restore your ability to oxidize fat. Fat loss can restore your ability to absorb and oxidize glucose.
HIIT training could be a good choice.

Intermittent fasting could restore the cells ability to oxidize fat.

Low carbs diet could lead to a better insulin sensitivity.

Building muscles will enlarge the space for glycogen so we've got less probabilities to store glucose as fat.

Cold showers are a huge allied of our testosterone production, let me explain why...

First of all, ours testicles work at best at a certain temperature, which is lower than our body temperature ( yes, that's why they are placed in a exterior position ).

It's proved that a cold shower will spike your testosterone levels because it's going to bring the temperature of your body to an ideal value for T production.

That's not the only benefit of cold showers:

• Improved blood circulation
• Improved mood
• Increased immune strength
• Metabolic advantages ( increase )
• Better breathing

Here's my simple two days routine for fixing a bad forward head posture.

Here are the main causes for a forward head posture:

• Sitting at computer for a way too long period
• Focusing too much on the front upper body in the gym ( chest, biceps....)
• Driving a lot

Forward head it's not only esthetically bad too see but it's also very bad for our shoulders and neck.

So this is a very basic routine that will help a lot to fix this common problem.

WARNING!! This is MY PERSONAL routine, so use your own judgment to adjust 
it at your own needs ( less sets / more reps / more time ).

Two days a week is enough to fix the problem.

Day A:


The rest of the days you could perform some daily chest stretch.

•  Eating excessive amounts of protein overloads your liver, allowing ammonia and other toxic substances to build up in your bloodstream. This leads to hepatic encephalopathy, a condition highly linked to a decline in brain, nervous, and hormone system function.

•   Some believe that your should scatter your protein intake thorough your day so you can absorb it all. However this study found out that it didn’t matter in terms of protein synthesis or muscle degradation if you ate all of your daily protein in one meal, or in four meals. (this debunks the myths of maximal protein absorption, and once again points home for intermittent fasting).

•   In this study the researchers found out that diet high in protein and fiber decreased testosterone levels and higher cortisol (food for thought as testosterone is the number one hormone for people lifting weights).

•   People who have high levels of testosterone and growth hormone can also utilize much more protein than people who don’t, as HGH and T will both increase protein synthesis in the muscle.

•   People under high stress (high cortisol) can’t utilize protein that well as their bodies are constantly in this catabolic state, which means that a huge portion of protein consumed under stress will never be used by your muscles.

But then, how much should be the ideal daily intake of proteins?

Well, it depends...

• On how much lean mass you have to maintain
• Your age
• Are you lifting ?
• Your testosterone level   

So guys, it's really less than what bodybuilding famous magazines and site tell you to eat.

Wait a moment, they sell protein supplements as well, and they care more about YOUR health than their income. Sure.

So don't fall in the trap of eating too much proteins, as a rule of thumb, you should eat between, 90-130g of protein daily.    

Yo Sedfiters!!

I've been following those guys for so many years and this morning I found them! together ! in the same video!

In the case you don't know them, Tyler RSD, aka Owen is a pickup artist, founder of Real Social Dynamics, and he is basically one of the most influent PUA of today.

Elliott is a really influent  youtuber, he is offering his knowledge on many topics around fitness, bodybuilding and health.

In this video Tyler explains 6 basic mindsets to put you in state when you are gaming!

1. Approach All
2. Minimize time in between social interactions
3. Never judge yourself
4. Find something funny about it
5. Keep it short if you're not in a great mood
6. burn it to the ground if you are

Enjoy!
