Happy Chinese New Year! It’s The Year Of The Tiger!
Breaking News: Budweiser-Mamas & Mardi Gras Madness
I came across a Mardi Gras photo I just had to share with you real fast.
Does it have anything to do with martial arts? Probably not.
Oh, wait! Maybe yes.
How about determination and self-confidence?
Maybe not.
Maybe it’s just loss of inhibitions among friends, aka bosom buddies (pun intended).
I still think it’s a funny picture and I hope you like it, too.
Mardi Gras And Why TheMartialArtsReporter Is Going Nuts
When you think of Mardi Gras, what probably comes to mind first, is New Orleans, French Quarter and …. beads. Right?
When you think of TheMartialArtsReporter.com, I sure hope you’re thinking of inspiration, entertainment and useful information for martial arts practitioners and enthusiasts.
And today, Mardi Gras (= Fat Tuesday) should be no exception.
I don’ t know about you, but I’m going nuts today. And no, I’m not in the Crescent City.
You’re asking yourself, “Where is he going with this?”
Well, let me tell you.
During the last decade or so, nuts have been gaining in healthy-snack popularity. And rightfully so.
Let’s have a look what this means in terms of antioxidants.
But before we do, we need to know what antioxidants are and the important work they do for our bodies. And if you are a martial artist this is really essential stuff to help you perform a high level for a longer period.
In order to counteract the damaging physiological damage to animal tissue caused by oxidation and free radicals, we can simply feed our body with antioxidants.
Antioxidants are nutrients (vitamins and minerals) and enzymes (proteins in our body).
They are believed to play a pivotal role in preventing chronic diseases such as cancer, heart disease, stroke and even Alzheimer’s, just to name a few.
A really easy and tasty way to feed your body with antioxidants is by eating nuts that happen to be loaded with nutrients and healthy fats.
But which ones?
How about a Top Ten List of nuts based on the content of their antioxidants according to a study released by the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture). Just make sure you’re getting the natural unsalted, unsweetened ones and you’re not allergic to any of them, but you knew already.
Here they are:
- Pecans
- Walnuts
- Hazelnuts
- Pistachios
- Almonds
- Peanuts
- Cashews
- Macadamias
- Brazil nuts
- Pine nuts
And now you know why TheMartialArtsReporter is going nuts …. for nuts.
What about you?
