Overcoming Sugar Addiction

As we all know, eating large amounts of sugar is anything but wholesome for the body, especially when refined or processed. Though, for whatever reason, we find it hard to resist these sweets and that’s truly because it is everywhere. Whether we are consuming sweet desserts, snacks or drinks, studies have finally shown that sugar is in everything.

Are Bananas Actually Healthy?

Are bananas actually healthy? A question I get on a regular basis: Are bananas actually healthy? The answer: Absolutely.
This fruit has gotten a bad rap for being high in sugar and calories
compared to other fruits. Yes, a large banana contains about 120 calories
and 17 grams of sugar
, but when limiting sugars in your diet, you want to limit added sugars
like those found in soda, baked goods, and candy. I promise you're not going to get fat
from eating too many bananas. Bananas are actually healthy. They contain about 490mg of potassium
(in a large banana), an electrolyte that governs heart rate
and nerve and muscle function
. And, they contain about 15% of your daily fiber ....

6 Tips For Better Sleep

Scientists are still uncovering the many ways poor quality sleep can impact you
, but it certainly is much more than just stumbling your way through the day. For example, a number of studies have reported changes to key hormones levels and recently how many calories your body burns the day after an ‘all-nighter’. For example, large studies over the course of several years regularly show that decreases in how much you sleep each night can progressively increase your risk of developing obesity
and diabetes-related complications [1, 2]. One of the greatest examples of this found that women who sleep less than five hours per night had the highest body weights of women in the ....

3 Simple Rules for Clean Eating

3 Simple Rules for Clean Eating🥦 🍎 Clean eating can sound intimidating
but is actually quite a simple concept! Rather than revolving around the idea of ingesting more or less of specific things (for instance, fewer calories or higher fat), the idea is just about being mindful
of your food's pathway to your plate. 1. Eat Whole Foods
At its simplest, clean eating means eating whole foods, or those that are not processed or refined, making them as close to their natural form as possible.

Katie G.

I’ve been training at Xtreme Krav Maga & Fitness for over 2 years, and since day 1 they have been one of the most welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable gyms I’ve ever attended. I came in with literally zero knowledge of Krav Maga and fighting and I never felt judged or uncomfortable. The instructors are patient and skilled and take the time to make the class a challenge for all skill levels. You can train as hard as you want to achieve your personal goals. Not only do I now feel more confident, but the classes are a great work out for the whole body. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to learn self defense or improve their overall health. There are classes for all skill levels and also classes focusing on certain activities, such as ground fighting, women’s self defense, and fitness. I guarantee you’ll never get bored.

The instructors and students are all really helpful with newcomers. I've been going for a month, two times a week, and have left every class feeling great! I've learned so many new techniques and have gained more confidence, which is awesome!

Brian S.

This gym has changed my life. I have lost 40 pounds and gained the confidence to defend myself using the techniques thought here. The entire staff are knowledgeable and professional. All classes are fun and inclusive to all attending. I was welcome as member from day one. I would encourage anyone to take a trial class and see for themselves.
