Ruckus Time!!!
It’s that time of year when all the outdoor competitions get under way. This is always a great time to put all that hard work to the test and see what you’re made of. We would like to put together a team to represent our box as well as our athletes. The Ruckus takes place at the Marshfield fair ground June 16 & 17 and offers several different events. The Ruckus ‘Heater’ is a 2 miler which is mainly a big obstacle course minus all the running. They also have the Ruckus ‘Challenge’ which is 4 miles with a mix of running and obstacles. If this is something that interests you, get in touch with us and let us know. I would like to have some cool team-shirts made for everyone who participates. Prices will continue to go up as race day nears so don’t procrastinate. I will make another post in a few days with more details to follow.
Don’t forget about our Mother’s Day Boot Camp this Sunday from 8:00-9:30! And NO you do not need to be a mom to attend, all are welcome.
Make sure to get outside this weekend, expose yourself, and get some sun! That big bright light in the sky offers more Vitamin D in 20 minutes than drinking an entire gallon of milk. If you are one to dose yourself with toxic chemicals, think twice. As Mike Adams, The Health Ranger sees it ” The idea that sunscreen prevents cancer is a myth. The scientific evidence shows quite clearly that sunscreen actually promotes cancer by blocking the body’s absorption of ultraviolet radiation, which produces vitamin D in the skin. Vitamin D, as recent studies have shown, prevents up to 77% of ALL cancers in women (breast cancer, colon cancer, cervical cancer, lung cancer, brain tumors, multiple myeloma…you name it). Meanwhile, the toxic chemical ingredients used in most sunscreen products are actually carcinogenic and have never been safety tested or safety approved by the FDA. They get absorbed right through the skin ( a porous organ that absorbs most substances it comes into contact with) and enter the blood stream.”
“The benefits of sunscreen are a myth”, Adams goes on to say, ” Proponents say sunscreen prevents sunburn, but in fact, the real cause of sunburn is not merely UV exposure: It is lack of antioxidant nutrition. Start eating lots of berries and micro algae (spirulina, astaxanthin, blue-green algae,) and you’ll build up an internal sunscreen that will protect your skin from sunburn from the inside out. Sunburn is actually caused by nutritional deficiencies that leave the skin vulnerable to DNA mutations from radiation, but if you boost your nutrition and protect your nervous system with plant-based nutrients, you’ll be naturally resistant to sunburn.”
I always knew eating healthy had even more benefits than I could have imagined!
