Nutrition & Genetics - Gene or Epigenome

Does you DNA equal your nutritional destiny? John Cloud tells us that scientists have actually known about epigenetics since at least the 1970s. But until the late ’90s, epigenetic phenomena were regarded as a sideshow to the main event, DNA. Essentially epigenetics is the study of changes in gene expression that do not involve alterations to the genetic code itself. So the same genes remain, but something is telling them whether or not they should “fire”, so to speak – some outside force is telling them to switch on or off. The changes are governed by the cellular material called the epigenome that sits just on top of the genome (hence the prefix epi which means above). Learn what can influence your dietary & nutritional response to the food you eat.

Genetics and Nutrition

  Epigenetics Nutritional Genomics Believe it or not I completed a university course in genetics. Now I won’t tell you my final mark – let’s just say that to this day I still credit Genetics 2301 as being the single hardest course I’ve ever taken. I bring up this course I took in university [...]

Professional Storage Solutions – Slatwall Organization Systems

Professional grade slatwall stores a lot more tools & sports equipment safely per square foot of wall space. Because the more durable materials of professional grade slatwall, nicks and other damages do not become an issue. Also, camlock hooks are the key to getting maximum value out of slatwall storage making seasonal changes to your wall storage arrangement easy to do. In addition, camlock hooks, baskets and shelves means that the slatwall can hold more weight per hook, basket or shelving accessory. In fact, with a camlock hook, you can store something as heavy as a gas or electric lawn mower. Surprising, isn't it? Visit my site and contact me if you'd like to see real life examples.

When does nutrition during physical activity become important?

I need things to be kept as simply as possible. And I am not ashamed of it. In my dealings with the world of nutrition this often becomes a problem for me. As Beth Mansfield, one of Canada’s leading sports dietitians, has been known to quip: “Nutrition is not rocket science… it’s much more complicated”. That’s why I’m relatively proud of myself (if I may say so) for coming up with the following table whose purpose is to answer the question as to whether or not a person needs to be concerned about nutrition during his/her physical activity.

What is it that Professional Garage Designers Do?

If you’ve ever undertaken a large renovation job in your home, such as the kitchen, bathroom or basement, it’s likely you’ve hired a professional to do the job. Usually only the die-hard do-it-yourselfer with a lot of experience will tackle that type of project. But when it comes to the garage, many people think a few tools and a trip to the big-box store to pick up some simple shelving, cabinets and maybe an epoxy floor coating will do. There’s nothing wrong with what they sell there, but the problem is it’s likely not going to stand up to the test of time and use.

Why Hitting Should Be Banned in Hockey

Open ice body checking should be banned from hockey. And I’m not talking just about kids’ hockey – like Hockey Alberta recently did in the Pee-Wee division (ages 11-12). Good job Hockey Alberta! What I am saying is that hitting should be banned from all hockey from novice to the NHL. Of course this [...]

Why Hitting Should Be Banned in Hockey

I think open ice bodychecking should be banned from all hockey from novice to the NHL. I just can’t find justification to keep hitting or body checking in hockey. Physicality adds a unique and appealing dimension to the sport however it doesn't provide enough positives to outweigh the negatives, specifically concussions, injuries to human brains. Banning the body check makes sense for the health of the players as much as the sport of hockey.
