Be aware that some items cause more foam (tomatoes, oranges, or pineapple) in blenders. A simple fix is after you finish blending on high, flip the switch to variable and turn the dial down to 1. Look into the container at the top and slowly increase the variable speed until you find the slowest speed that will form a small vortex (or hole) in the center. Let it run at this slow speed for a little while and it will pop out the air bubbles. You may notice that after spinning at this slow speed the vortex gets a little bit bigger – you can lower the speed some more if you’d like. It doesn’t take very long to get the air bubbles to pop out!
-
Add something “smooth” to the mixture like avocado. coconut oil or bananas. Items like this will help lessen the foam.
-
Use a cheese cloth, and pour the mixture through the cheese cloth.

If you have ever had or have migraines you know, they are painful sometimes even can be disabling. They are changes in chemicals and blood vessels in the brain, which send pain signals leading to the head. Often can lead to feeling of nausea, and vomiting, I often find when I have one there are sensitivities to light, noise, and smell.
I have been a sufferer of migraines from childhood. Knowing how awful they are, and I spent too many nights, going into the darkest room around, pray it would go away and hope to fall asleep! As I grew older working at a dental clinic in the Air Force, I found new smells and certain foods that would trigger these headaches. Every Monday or a long period away from work without fail, BOOM there would be a headache. After countless unsuccessful attempts to battle them on my own, it was when I started working with Fadi Malouf and David Baldovin we took them on with nutrition as my key to helping prevent and alleviate.
With the guidance of the Body By Fadi’s Team, I have learned certain foods can help prevent, alleviate, or reduce the severity of the migraine.

Some foods such as spinach or other dark leafy vegetables are high in magnesium that will help alleviate migraines. Common causes like stress, alcohol intake, and menstruation in women absorb magnesium in the body. Eating such vegetables like spinach or kale will help restore levels. Currently learning how to create delicious smoothies with these and other ingredients below, thanks to Coach Scott Black’s book Living On High Speed.
Ginger – I found taking ginger will help with an upset stomach that may often come with a migraine.
Peppermint- I read a study done back in 1966 showed a solution containing 10% peppermint essential oil was as effective as 1,000mg of acetaminophen (the ingredient in medicine like Tylenol) I drank Peppermint Tea and also at times just massaged peppermint essential oil onto my temples.
Fish – Help reduce the frequency and severity of the migraine, Omega-3 Fatty Acids, as well act as an anti-inflammatory. Fish such as tuna, salmon, mackerel and trout are excellent sources of Omega-3 Fatty Acid.
Since taking they’re advise with proper nutrition, it helped a ton. Going from weekly on sets to just about gone. And now knowing what I know thanks to their help I can tackle them right at the start. Enjoying my working out routines and not spending my precious time in the dark, silent world.

Reverse Extension on Swiss Ball
Try the Reverse Extension on a Swiss Ball as a great way to strengthen and improve your stabilizing muscles. This exercise focuses on the Erector Spinal muscles of the lower back as well as the Gluteus Maximus.
Using the ball keeps your upper body stable and provides support to the lumbar region as you lower and raise your legs, placing less stress on the lower back.
It’s only necessary to come up to a straight body position at the top of the movement, and not to hyperextend the trunk.
Exercise Instructions:
1 – Lie face down with your chest on the ball, your hands and feet on the floor
2 – Raise your legs up behind straight, making a line from your feet to shoulders.
3 – Do not bounce up and down on the ball as you perform each rep.
4 – Have fun!

Circuit training is not just for beginners but it is an excellent system for beginners. The primary goal of circuit training is to improve general fitness.
The main objective in completing all of the “stations” in the circuit is to decrease time. In designing a circuit program ensure to choose exercises most important to your sport, or those exercises most important to eliminating your weaknesses. The most important exercises are placed earlier in the circuit and the least important are placed later in the circuit. You then perform each in succession, attempting always to improve upon your time and weights. The results of an effective circuit program are to improve cardiovascular, strength and toning. As targets are reached or as new weaknesses crop up, changes in the circuit should occur.
The circuit may be repeated for as many sets as desired, by resting between sets at each station, or by going through the circuit non-stop several times.
