Plant Trainers Podcast - Plant Based Nutrition & Fitness

In this episode of Hey Plant Trainers, we answer Jake's question: It's a new year and I'm looking for a way to be more active. Some of my friends are doing triathlons, but I don't swim at all.

In today's episode of The Plant Trainers Podcast we talk about colon cancer and a guy named Tony. We had planned to make this one of our short shows and just wish you all a happy new year and send you off to your friends and family, but fate sent us on a different path. We met Tony a few days ago in the grocery store and we needed to call an audible - change our plan. Our conversation with Tony was too valuable not to share with you.

On today's episode of The Plant Trainers Podcast we talk about physical inactivity. In society today people are just not moving enough. The gym is swamped with people before and after work and the hiking tracks are busy on the weekends, but all day long we are simply sitting on our backsides. Our cars and desks are stealing our longevity. We talk about the costs of being sedentary most of the day and what we can do about it.

On today’s show, we talk about how food can be a saviour in fighting inflammation.  It is important to understand what inflammation is and how we can battle against it.  Natural, raw or cooked, beautifully rich foods can potentially keep you from popping pills or taking prescribed medication.  We give you some good tips about great foods to consume and tips in preparing meals to help reduce your inflammation. These tips and recipes will hopefully help you get on with your days pain-free and help you be able to recover faster so you can get back to your exercise.

We are also excited to have our first official “Hey, Plant Trainers” segment where we will answer a listener’s question. This episode’s question comes from Amy…thanks Amy!

In today's episode of The Plant Trainers Podcast we talk about two issues that have been in the media lately - red and processed meat & sugar.  Many of you may have heard about these studies going viral before, but we thought it was worth talking about today.
