GoBeDo

Thank you so much for stopping by! Time appears to be flying by way too fast and I'm looking to do something exciting with the rest of my life. I'll be starting an online fitness business called "GoBeDo" sometime this year. Be sure and check in. You'll learn about High Interval Training, Yoga, Body weight exercise, Spartan races, Functional training and whole lot more. Real $hit, for Old Timers like me. Why? We only have one shot at a grandiose and fulfilling life. Let's get busy creating one. Remember, it's the start that stops most people. The last thing I want to take to my grave is "regret!"
Peace/Love and Hugs!

GOIN' BANANAS...FOR BANANAS!

Hey, it's Marco! Never put your banana in the refrigerator! Figure it out...Did you know bananas contain three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with a little fiber. Bananas can also give you a nice little "Boost" of energy. Two of them can give you enough energy for an strenuous hour long workout. Bananas may also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet. They may also help with depression! "Take two of these and call me in the morning!" You see, bananas contain a protein called tryptophan which the body converts into serotonin which is known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel better. Got PMS? Eat a banana! Vitamin B6 regulates blood glucose levels, which may also affect your mood. Bananas are high in iron. Anemia anyone? Bananas are low in salt yet high in potassium making them the perfect food to beat high blood pressure. Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain, and regulates your body's water balance. When we're stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high potassium banana snack. They may even help with hangovers! Too bad I didn't know this back in the 80's! Bananas are rich in pectin, a soluble fiber that helps with regularity. Throw some frozen bananas in the blender with some fruit and make a nice fruit shake! Great anytime of year! I mix frozen bananas with Organic Artisana Coconut butter, half an avocado, a scoop of MRM Protein powder and some blueberries for breakfast. Good stuff, that is...if you don't have issues mixing fruit with protein and fat. And you can even use the peels to make cartoon characters fall down!   LOL!
So next time you're craving something sweet, grab a couple of bananas! Organic is always better!
And they're not that expensive. Why spend your hard earned money on doctor bills? Don't count the days, make the days count!
