On a day trip to Mayfield Lake this summer, I stood where I took this photo along the beach. The waves gently splashed against the shore, rolling over smooth pebbles along the beach. It was a tranquil moment, one I seem to enjoy over and over simply by viewing this photo. There’s something about beachside places, something that seems to sooth the soul. No matter where a person lives, there always seem to be a lake, a river, or the sea where one can go to rest the weary soul and find serenity.

The Most Compelling Reasons To Eat Organic Meat
by: Ben Kong

Of the three macronutrients, protein is the most important for health and achieving the body you want. The bottom line is that protein is the ONLY nutrient out of the three that restores and repairs every single cell in your body. Now, every day your body with its trillions of cells is constantly being broken down and being rebuilt. In fact every 7 years you are literally a completely new person - there is not one cell in your body that was there 7 years ago. To stay alive we need enough protein to grow new cells to replace the old ones. It's that simple. With our hectic modern lives, the breakdown is even greater and so to stay healthy we need to make sure we are getting enough each and every day. Individual requirements will vary however a good minimum is anywhere from 1.5-3 grams per kilo of bodyweight when you are exercising depending on your specific goals and needs. This amount is necessary because as you exercise you breakdown a great deal of protein in the body to train it to adapt and grow new muscle that will fire up your metabolism and help you burn more body fat.
