Join the Stand Up Desk Revolution and Live Longer (Hopefully!)

March 10, 2015 chaddavis1primedforyourlife 1 Comment

Leading a sedentary lifestyle and sitting down excessively is said to be as bad for your health as smoking. The simple message from a lot of health professionals is the longer you stand, the longer you live.

Be like Ironman Vic and try to incorporate more standing in your life. If you want to try this yourself, you might want to gradually ease into it as it takes a little getting used to.

Vic said “I got mine from one of those Japanese Surplus shops. Lots of options to choose from based on your needs.
And easier to decide to cut the legs (if necessary) since its 2nd hand. Also try Dona Soledad in Better Living Paranaque. They have a branch in Alabang, Zapote Road.”

5 Benefits of Using a Stand-Up Desk

(1) You live longer. A piece in the NY Times mentioned that sitting for extended periods of time is strongly linked with increased mortality and metabolic syndrome, regardless of how much exercise a sitter gets. It is estimated that people sit up to 12 hours a day during working hours, commuting, eating and watching tv. You cannot simply exercise away your sedentary work habit of sitting all day as your exercise will not undo the damage done by excessive sitting.

Primed Boiled Eggs – The Secret to Easily Peeled Perfect Eggs

March 9, 2015 chaddavis1primedforyourlife 1 Comment

Buy Organic Eggs from Cubao Farmer’s Market or Your Local Market

So, just find quality eggs at your local Farmer’s Market and buy them. Our household of 4 consumes around 6 dozen eggs per week. My cholesterol is most excellent too by-the-way. I eat a lot more eggs now compared to what I did in 2013 and my results have improved a lot since then.

Please see the following with my cholesterol results, some youtube information and further cholesterol explanation. Cholesterol letter.

Please see here from author, neurologist and 30 year clinician and scientific researcher Dr. David Perlmutter as to why Eggs are indeed healthy. It is called “Whole Eggs vs. Egg Whites. Which is Healthier?”

Primed Salmon and Zucchini Burgers 3-Ways

March 5, 2015 chaddavis1primedforyourlife Leave a comment

A delicious Burger is a nutritious food item you can enjoy as part of your Primed Lifestyle.

My favorite Primed Burger when dining out is the fabulous grass-fed beef burger at The Wholesome Table in BGC. To make your burger Primed simply ask the wait staff or chef to add salad and/or vegetables instead of the highly processed GMO chemically enhanced bun and artery clogging “vegetable” oil soaked fries.

Here is an easy to make and delicious Primed Salmon and Zucchini Burger you can make for yourself and your family. I previously used Tuna and Squash to make my Primed Patties.

Ingredients:

More Primed Lunch Box Items so as to Feed and Teach Your Children Well

March 2, 2015 chaddavis1primedforyourlife 2 Comments

How can you teach your children well without providing them proper nutrition? The short answer is that you cannot. Proper, optimal nutrition is the building block from which they then can then sleep, recover and function well in body and mind on a daily basis. Listen to this great song called Teach Your Children by Crosby Stills and Nash.

Here are some additional Primed Lunch Box items for you to feed your children (and yourself) from our last Lunch Box post that proved to be very popular.

Lauren’s Lunch

Vegetable Sheets Lasagne with Tuna, green apple, carrot sticks, dried cranberries, almonds and Primed home-made choc chip and dried cranberry cookies (recipe to be posted soon).

The Wholesome Table is Simply Awesome: 10/10

February 27, 2015 chaddavis1primedforyourlife 14 Comments

Welcome to The Wholesome Table, possibly the busiest restaurant in the Fort Bonifacio area. I have been fortunate enough to dine there 5 times in the last 3 weeks and each and every time has seen the place packed. Amazingly, even at 1:30 pm on a Thursday the owner Bianca Elizalde and I only just got a table!

Being busy is one thing, serving great food is another. I have yet to be any thing but delighted with my high quality food from The Wholesome Table and it is going to get even better with Bianca and Chef Jay letting me know that there will be more Primed items on their soon to be new menu. That’s cool.

Here is a review across my 5 dining experiences where my Sante Barley teammates Joey Marcelo and Jonah Rivera loved it. My new Primed clients in Marc Daubenbuechel and Andy Pope loved it. My triathlete pals in Berns Tan, Candy Dizon, Dennis Go, Dennis Gan, Hazel Benipay and Majul Maccay also loved it.

That’s 10 out of 10. So, why 10/10? Great food, drinks, ambiance and service.

Hey Cheaters, stop it! How Can We Stop Them From Cheating?

February 25, 2015 chaddavis1primedforyourlife Leave a comment

The triathlon season is upon us and I have already seen people cheating (swimming inside the designated swimming ropes) and throwing their rubbish in a protected forest! Have you seen any one cheating yet? How can we stop them?

I am re-posting our most popular article ever in the hope race directors, coaches, triathlon teams and everyone involved in our sport act within the spirit of good competition. Know the rules and act accordingly within the spirit of fair competition.

I love competing at triathlon and running events. It is cool to test yourself against your previous years results and against your competitors in your age category.

The reason to SIGN UP for races vary from individual but include:

– Getting a nice medal; getting the nice finisher’s shirt; having fun; getting fitter; beating your friends and rivals to the finish line; being part of your triathlon team; having something fun to post on facebook; setting a positive example to your fiends; and for the love of exercising in the sun.

There are some people who want to do well so badly that they are prepared to go outside of the rules to get onto the podium or even to just get a personal best.

Going outside the rules means cheating and should not be tolerated in our fun sport. We need more vigilance on behalf of the competitors, spectators and race organizers.

“The truly scary thing about undiscovered lies is that they have a greater capacity to diminish us than exposed ones. They erode our strength, our self-esteem, our very foundation.” ― Cheryl Hughes

5 Reasons to Challenge Yourself at Challenge Philippines Triathlon Races

February 23, 2015 chaddavis1primedforyourlife Leave a comment

Challenge Philippines was never really on my radar of races to do because the bike is super tough and I am not a good biker. Makes sense in terms of doing races that suit your strengths but I now do races simply for fun and to challenge myself.

I first heard about the Challenge races by listening to the famous triathlete Sister Madonna. She said she loves the atmosphere of the Challenge races which convinced me to give Challenge Philippines at Subic Bay on February 22nd a try. I am so glad I listened to you Sister Madonna as I loved it.

Sister Madonna Buder, a nun from Spokane/Washington, US, 83 years “young”, was the oldest participant in DATEV Challenge Roth, June 2014. Article from here. What do you want to do at 80? I will still be doing triathlons with my wife.

What it means to be Primed for your Life

February 19, 2015 chaddavis1primedforyourlife 8 Comments

Being Primed rocks.

You never go hungry, you eat more, exercise less and discover foods you had never considered eating before. You don’t stress over food, never count calories or worry about your weight. You gain more energy, become healthier and feel a lot better so as to enjoy more time for life.
