Monsanto CEO Hugh Grant received a 64% pay raise bringing his salary to $19.7 million for fiscal 2017, while the company exceeded all performance goals, ahead of the pending acquisition by Bayer. Looks like poisoning people and the environment with toxic GMOs and agrichemicals is mighty profitable. And Hugh Grant does it well - Hugh gets richer and we get sicker. https://www.bloomberg.com//monsanto-gives-ceo-hugh-grant-6

The Squat Stance Deadlift is a variation that not many people do. It's in my opinion probably the best variation as the transfer between legs to the back is in a seamless 45' angle making it the safest.

Well folks we got a new line up of Pre Workout from Magnum on the shelves this week. What do you need to know? 1. Next Level Fitness has the best prices in town. If you find in cheaper we will beat it. ... 2. It's got 3,000mg of citrulline Malate. This is the hottest supplement on the market right now. What's it do? CITRULLINE MALATE improves training intensity, endurance and speed of recovery. It performs this through 5 main functions: Increases blood Arginine levels (gram for gram at double the level of Arginine). Increases endothelial Nitric Oxide (NO) levels thereby improving vascular function and blood flow. Improves kidney bicarbonate reabsorption providing a powerful buffer against increasing muscle acidification during intense training. Detoxifies fatigued muscle tissue by removing ammonia (a toxin that can increase 3-fold during intense training). Rapidly replenishes PCr (phospho-creatine) stores, PCr is a key storage of energy muscles tap into. So is this a good product? Of course or we wouldn't carry it in our store. Come check it out and see what it does for you. #VanFitFam #VancouverSupplements #NextLevelFitness

Can't sleep? Try eating pumpkin seeds a few hours before bedtime to help raise your melatonin levels. With a wide variety of nutrients ranging from magnesium and manganese to copper, protein and zinc, pumpkin seeds are nutritional powerhouses wrapped up in a very small package. They also contain plant compounds known as phytosterols and free-radical scavenging antioxidants,1 which can give your health an added boost.... Because these are high-fiber seeds, they’re able to boost your fiber intake, helping you reach the ideal amount of 50 grams per 1,000 calories consumed. Best of all, because pumpkin seeds are highly portable and require no refrigeration, they make an excellent snack to keep with you whenever you're on the go, or they can be used as a quick anytime snack at home, too. #Nutrition #HolisticHealth

Matcha Bulletproof Power Pre Workout. If your like me, you like to switch things up from time to time in terms of what you do for pre workout. Here is a holistic recipe I personally use to give my adrenals a rest from time to time. Let's face it, as much as we love our super strong stimulants we cant do them day after day for ever. Our bodies shut down and then it stops working. The rule of thumb is 10 on / 5 off. ... So on your give this a try on your "no stim" days.. 1. 3 raw eggs - the lecithin coats the stomach which helps with absorption of the nutrients. It also provides, 21grams of protein. 2. 2 spoonfuls of organic matcha. (Match has more caffeine then coffee and different caffeine as well as it doesn't spike and will give you continuous energy.) 3. Half a teaspoon of beta alanine 4. A teaspoon of Ghee. 5. A teaspoon of coconut oil. (MCT oil) 6. 2 grams of glutamine. (Gut health/healing) 7. 1 teaspoon of raw organic honey. 8. Half a cup of coconut milk (good fat delivery system) 9. 2~4 grams of reshi mushroom powder. (Adaptogen giving immune support, helping your body to regulate it self) 10. Blend for 60 seconds You will have around 6 hours of pure energy and metal clarity that will be better then any pre workout you've ever tried.

Most people think of Yoga as a class at the YMCA or some place women go with bright colored mats and Lulu Lemon outfits. That's what modern day marketing and the fitness industry had spun it off to be. It comes from a spiritual system of Verdic and Yogic Knowledge to alleviate suffering and remove pain. It was created to allow healing through self knowledge. Yoga was to deal with spiritual suffering while Ayurveda was designed to deal with mental and physical suffering. You ...don't need a special outfit or fancy mat to practice Yoga. Truthfully, all of this commercialism has taken it away from its original form as it places stress on the individual to go to the best studios and to have all these expensive items or they feel self conscious about their appearance and judged by others in the class. It's crazy how we can take a traditional form of healing and turn it into a something that completely contradicts the original intent. Like and Share my post if you agree that we need to preserve tradition and capitalism has no place in this art of self healing.

Social Responsibility for the residents of the city they live in should be the main focus on the minds of all municipal politicians. This means taking care of our garbage, providing us with transportation infrastructure, and keeping us safe. Keeping us safe; that's a term that most politicians would consider the job of the police. For the most part, the police do a pretty effective job in doing that. Protecting us from crime and those poisoning our streets with drugs and thi...ngs of that nature because, well there bad for us, right? I mean they can cause real damage if people consume them. These are controlled substances and illegal. With all this in mind I often think to myself, why haven't they arrested the local grocer? The convince shop owner who sells us products that are poisoning us as well? Things that are creating catastrophic numbers of people getting diabetes, cause behavioral problems in children and are seriously taxing our health care system. Then again that wouldn't be right to go after the retail store owner. These guys are the small fish. The police always let the little guys go to try and get the real source of the problem, the wholesaler. The "King Pin" is responsible for putting these harmful products on our streets. #Coke #Pepsi etc... Well it seems I'm not the only one who feels this way. Four cities in the US have already done this. San Francisco, Oakland, Albany and Boulder all voted a #SodaTax to strick a blow against the #BeverageIndustry. A 2% tax against the distributors of these harmful products. This obviously doesn't stop them from selling them and people from consuming them but what we hope it will do is to get them to start to look towards healthier alternatives. The end game of course is to eventually get these products all off the shelves of every store. Ban them and then people can't harm themselves with them. If you see this as a major victory in the right direction and would like to see this in Vancouver, like this post. Speak up and let's all force the issue with our city officials to start opening their minds towards taking #SocialResponsibility and doing right by their community.

Organic... You have probably seen this symbol before but what does it really mean? This is the organic seal of approval for Canada. In order to get this an "Organic Farm" has to operate under organic regulations for a 3 year period. This is a long time for a small operation as it's running costs are much higher the conventional farming. And in that time even though they are adhering to organic standards, they can't sell their products as "organic" and get the organic pricin...g to offset the expense of producing organic produce. There are numerous reasons behind this but the biggest is that it takes a minimum of 3 years to get soil nutrients to a level that would meet organic standards. These standards prohibit organic farmers from; Using synthetic pesticides, herbicides and Fungicides. Synthetic fertilizers Adding GMO's of any kind. Including taking precautions from cross pollination from other fields in the area. There needs to be a 25ft buffer on all access points to the corps. Ionizing radiation Adding swage sludge Growth hormones or antibiotics for meat, poultry, eggs and dairy products Any sort of animal cloning They have to Support; Biodiversity Good soil health Water Quality Humane Livestock Practices Renewable Resources Organic integrity of prepared products at all stages. So when you see this seal of approval on your products you can feel assured that they had to jump through hoops to get it. They are committed and held to the highest standards and testing to keep it. The American and Canadian standards are pretty much on par in terms of regulations. I however like to support local growers so I always turn to Canadian products when given the choice.

Everyone wants to eat Organic... Is it realistic that you can eat 100% organic all the time, not likely. Introducing "THE DIRTY DOZEN"... The dirty dozen lists the dirtiest produce in terms of its exposure to pesticides according to the Environmental Working Group. This list is to help those who can't always do organic due to financial restraints make informative decisions on what to eat. So, keep this in mind the next time your in the supermarket or at an event where you don't know where the veggie platter came from but it's the only option over of all the other glutinous deep fried usual suspects.

Ever took a pre workout an felt your face go numb and your body starts to tingle? Some people freak out and others love the effect as that's when they know it's starting to kick in. Let me introduce you to Beta-Alanine the a none essential amino acid that should be an essential part of your sports supplementation. Most bodybuilders have been all over this as its well known as for improving muscular endurance and athletic performance as it's a precursor to muscle carnosine. ... Why do you need carnosine? Its potent antioxidant and this peptide is one of your muscles' first lines of defense against the buildup of hydrogen ions (H+) during high-intensity exercise. This rise in H+ dramatically lowers the pH within muscle cells, negatively effecting enzyme function and muscle excitation-contraction coupling events that support continued, high-intensity output. A drop in muscle pH is a major contributor to muscle fatigue. It's also linked with having a high percentage of Type II fast-twitch muscle fibers. For this reason, you'll find higher levels of muscle carnosine among sprinters and natural muscle freaks. Men also generally have higher muscle carnosine concentrations than women, most likely because the enzyme that breaks down carnosine is more active in women. Dosing for this is very differs per individual. However, it's generally 1.5g x 4 times daily. This changes if you are taking pre-workout as it's generally in there now a days. Also if your a huge meat eater.
