Increase Your Muscle Mass Boost By 26% (No Extra Effort, No Supplements)

Happy Hump Day! 👋 

Fun fact: if you’ve ever wondered why people say “signs and symptoms” when that seems like a redundant tautology repeated unnecessarily…

It’s because “signs” are what we can observe clinically, and “symptoms” are what the patient experiences. These are partially overlapping categories, of course, but there are plenty of things that can be observed clinically but not consciously experienced by the patient (e.g. a reduced T-cell count), or can be experienced by the patient but not observed clinically (e.g. pain). The more you know!

In today’s email we cover building healthy muscle, health diagnostics from the eyes, and eating real food and loving it.

One-Minute Book Review

Eat Real Food and Love It: 6 Steps to Help You Crave Healthy Eating – by Kari McCloskey

Half the battle of healthy eating is enjoying it—because once you do, it’s no longer a battle!

So that’s what this book focuses on. The author, a Registered Nutritionist, does indeed dispense nutritional advice, as you might expect, but also bids us pay attention to what nature’s foods do for us, and notice what less healthy foods take from us. She goes through these category by category, quite comprehensively, before moving on to the more “active” parts of the book.

There’s a lot about training our senses, and about taking a holistic approach to eating, as well as renewing not just our relationship with food, but also various other parts of our life that are inextricably linked to it (from sleep and exercise, to social considerations, and medical issues that healthier eating will help us to avoid or at least tame).

The style is… Joyful. Much like this reviewer, the author loves food, and it shows. She also (again much like this reviewer) cares deeply about the impact food has on her, and (for a third time: like this reviewer!) wants to share that joy and care with the reader. The priority is readability and helpfulness; scientific references are still provided wherever appropriate, though.

Bottom line: if you’d like to improve your eating but it seems like a chore, this book can help turn it into an excitingly enjoyable journey instead.
