Medscape recently posted a summary of a new study looking at the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) in the years after retirement among elite rowers. Let’s see what they found and if it holds any legitimacy. “Researchers found 1 in 5 former Olympic, world, or national-level Australian rowers aged 45-80 years had the heart rhythm anomaly. The ex-rowers, who had competed for at least 10 years, were nearly seven times more likely to have […]

Recently, Medscape published an article on a study looking at deaths among professional bodybuilders between 2005 and 2020 to calculate the risk of sudden death, especially related to heart failure (aka. sudden cardiac deaths [SCDs].) While there certainly is an overrepresentation of sudden deaths among elite level bodybuilders, as soon as they tried to explain why, everything went downhill showing once again how incredibly ignorant these people are of simple physiology and biochemistry. So,

By / / Diet and Nutrition, Health and Fitness / 11 minutes of reading

I’ve covered the toxic nature of caffeine, a defense chemical produced by plants, in several articles. Caffeine is a poison that have become mainstream by conditioning and brainwashing and it wreaks havoc on your body due to its ability to induce a fight-or-flight stress response as well as blocking adenosine receptors in the brain, which in turn enhances the effect of the fight-or-flight response by a larger release of neurotransmitters like adrenaline, dopamine, serotonin,
