Jump start your day with a perfect breakfast...or none!

Good morning Fitorriors ! The way we start every morning has a major impact on how productive and happy our whole day will be.

I'm going to give you two scenarios here (in terms of nutrition):

a) you wake up, dress for work and decide to have breakfast;

b) you wake up, dress for work and decide not to have an actual breakfast (or you don't have the time to do it).

The Perfect Breakfast

If I were to give you an example of an optimal breakfast menu, it would definitely contain eggs. You should eat eggs! Whether you decide to eat them in the morning, after you return from work, when you feed your dog or when you're watching Game of Thrones  - is totally up to you.

Starting your day with proteins however, has additional benefits.

Well hello there, fitorriors!

(Fitorium-warriors? I guess that’s what I’ll call everyone that reads our blog from now on. Uninspired? If you have a better suggestion, comment below).

This is Part 2 of Decomposing Omegy : Fitness, exercise and training. In case you missed part 1, check it out.

In part 1, I began talking about fitness, exercising and training in a broad sense.

Also, resistance training slows and reverses the aging process! Wow!

I’m going to get a little technical and detailed in this article to help better explain why the need for exercise and why weight training slows and reverses the aging process.

Omega-3 fatty acids and their importance (Decomposing Omegy)

Let’s get started: as you can see from the title – this post is about Omega-3 fatty acids (just Omega-3’s from now) and their importance in human health.

What are Omega-3’s ?

Omega-3 fatty acids refer to a group of three fats called ALA, EPA and DHA.

PLUS: There are actually 11 known types of Omega-3’s.The ones mentioned are the ones studied the most.

They are considered essential fatty acids (EFA) – meaning that you can’t make them in your body but you certainly need them in order to survive – therefore you must get them from your diet.

PLUS: Actually, mammals have a limited capacity to make EPA and DHA (both longer chained omega-3’s) from ALA (shorter chain Omega-3). Fish are much more efficient in forming these more complex forms of Omega-3’s.

This post is going to be about that dumbbell Omegy's holding up.

Srsly bro?!

We'll be talking about fitness today. Obviously, as an intro because there's a lot to talk about.

Avocado - The Perfect Fruit (Decomposing Omegy)

Hi guys !!

We are beginning today the actual decomposing of our little Omegy! 

As we've said in this previous post, we are going to explain to you why Omegy is the way it is. (Wow, that one could get really philosophical).

Our mascot is half-egg, half-avocado (I know... we have a lot of imagination) and today we'll look at why we've chosen him to have an avocado half.

What is an Avocado ?

Avocado is a fruit that grows on a tree - and it actually can be classified as a single-seeded berry. Native to Central America, it grows in a tropical and subtropical climate. 

PLUS: Its history goes back a very long time ago (50 million years)  and some people think that it may have been food for dinosaurs. Between when the dinosaurs died out and before humans evolved to the point where they started to cultivate avocados, it remains a mystery how this strange fruit continued to survive with no big mammal to spread its seed around.

Hi everybody!

Welcome to Fitorium. Now...you may be wondering what “Fitorium” is? Some of you might have guessed from the “Fit” part of the word that this is a fitness blog. Well, not just a fitness blog, more a wellness blog in which we’re going to talk about many things ranging from nutrition to fitness and health, with a dash of psychology, physiology and other human-related sciences thrown in to spice things up. 
                                                                  

Before we get started, let’s get to know each other: we’re Alma and Alex.
