Introduction! -AJV

Hey steemit! By way of an introduction I'm excited to contribute to the dissemination of evidence'based knowledge in medicine, health, and nutrition. I'm an Internal Medicine Doctor in Newport Beach, Cali. Sports physiology is my passion and patient care is my day job. I have a website with a blog @ www.AlanJViglioneMD.com where I share my thoughts on health/wellness as it pertains to what i do and read in a 'hopefully' unbiased venue. Feel welcome to inspire discussion!

could you tweet this post to verify your identity? :)

Modern healthcare recommends 30 minutes a day of exercise. I suggest people do whatever activity they are comfortable with to improve their health status and delay the effects of modern lifestyle and reduce the risks of catastrophic diseases.
I have carefully selected five exercises that are done daily for 300 seconds = 5 minutes. These five exercises aim to build up upper body strength to reactivate atrophied muscles since active muscles burn 10 times the calories compared to fat cells. Over time with an investment of less than 1% of your daily minutes you will carefully sculpt a stronger body more resistant to injury or illness. I have written about these five exercises elsewhere.

pushups , 2) squats, 3) monkey crawls (crawl around like a baby), 4) crab crawls (sit down and use your hands and feet to shuffle around the floor) and 5) door bar pullups simply by hanging out your body from a solid overhead structure. These always available exercises will ramp up your daily metabolism slightly for 36 to 48 hours; but remember you are repeating them every 24 hours. No travelling to expensive gyms, no excuses would be valid and no getting all hot and sweaty. There is no reason to experience breathlessness nor pain since you never work towards fatigue, slowly your muscles recover and modify themselves to become stronger as your joints, muscles and ligaments all improve with functional strength... Good luck and have fun and maybe even get others in the household involved. Be especially careful with the pullups since remember your trying to move your entire bodyweight; so simply hang from the bar for the first 2 weeks, after all you have the rest of your life to sculpt the new you...

Again, it's a new beginning that's just happening. Welcome here.

Hey ajv, welcome to steemit!

I look forward to whatever you may share here, as I'm interested in health, nutrition and sports. In particular, I'm interested in what the evidence shows about various sports supplements, as the ads in the magazines all imply that you can become as big and strong as superman with zero extra body fat if you just take their formulation. Places like GNC seem to be cashing in on the desire people have to look a certain way.

Hopefully your next post here will follow soon. Best wishes!

you should post your blog articles here on Steemit, as well as your site. I imagine there's a growing audience on here for health-related content.

Yeah this is a very open minded community for sure so please do share your thoughts. I'm very interested in holistic and alternative health. Welcome!
