IKSC Weekly Link Blast July 25, 2019
Video of the week.
Next two links are awesome. One is on the importance of sleep and the other is stress. These two components are just as important as the time you spend in the gym.

Deadlifts! Always a good choice. Keep in mind that the properly-done kettlebell swing does almost the same thing for your body, and most of these benefits apply to men as well.

Anyone who really wants to delve into the minutia (and read past the tabloid nutrition headlines funded by processed food companies) about what eating meat really does for your body.

Old article, but well worth the read. It pre-dates any kind of popular “diet-culture” interpretation of what a “paleo diet” is, or what has been pretty much bastardized by different cookbooks, etc.
The thing to realize is that the nutrition information presented comes straight from the physical sciences, not from nutritionists that are held to maintain the party lines of what the AHA and ADA claim is healthy.
That’s it for this week. Enjoy!
