Episode 9 - 'Anti-nutrients' and weight training with resistance bands.


Listen Later

In Episode 9 of The Naru FastCast we tackle 'Anti-nutrients' and Josh open Dave's eye's up to how he should be using his resistance bands to train. 

Dave & Josh this week jump into 'Ant-nutrients' which are basically certain foods that can interfere or reduce the absorption of certain minerals. 

On the list of culprits are:

  • Goitrogens
  • Lectins 
  • Oxalates
  • Phytates
  • Saponins
  • Tannins

To be frank, choosing broccoli or a donut....the donut will be the clear 'anti-nutrient'. However, if you are cooking with lots of food groups that can affect vitamin and mineral absorption, you should maybe about optimising your dinner plate. 

Effects may vary between individuals and how you prepare the foods can also have an impact:

  • Phytates and lectins can be removed or somewhat de-activated by soaking, sprouting or boiling before eating. 


Josh jumps into resistance training with resistant bands. Resistance bands function similarly to weights in terms of muscle engagement – your muscles contract to create force, ensuring stability and control during targeted movements. However, unlike weights, resistance bands don't rely on gravitational force for resistance. Consequently, the body gains the flexibility to enhance its range of motion in specific exercises (such as elevating the arms further during a lateral raise).

Resistance bands have proven indispensable in the realm of rehabilitation for individuals recovering from sports-related or muscle-related injuries. This stems from the fact that resistance bands do not exert pressure in the manner that weights do, promoting joint safety and overall well-being. Furthermore, individuals of all ages and fitness levels can partake in a productive workout regimen using resistance bands, given that numerous exercises and stretches can be executed even while seated.

 We hope you enjoy!

Thanks 🙏

Dave & Josh
