Pillars of Health - Fitness diaries

WHAT IS PILLARS OF HEALTH? Pillars of Health is a 5 tiered health concept which initially developed into a business of the same name. Now it is known as PohFolk (or Pillars.of.Health Folk) These tiers (referred to as pillars) are the 5 things that every man, woman and child on this planet must do to survive. These five things are simply; Eat, Drink, Breathe, Sleep and Move. Einstein once said ‘Any theory that cannot be explained to a child is probably worthless’. This is our governing ideology. This program is designed to show the correlation between the Pillars and how that affects health. It then shows you how to change the aspects of lifestyle so that these Pillars work for the individual or group. Due to the simplicity of the program it can be tailored to ANY setting; be it corporate, clinical, educational, etc…. The other element of Pillars of Health is that it is based in (and as such, follows) ecology closely; this is an eco-friendly business that promotes and...

In order to stick to Pillars of Health 's ideologies be nice to the planet, to our bodies and to our tastebuds I've teamed up with AMAZING chef Simon Vine and nutritionist Kristina Kozicynaite to create some tantalizing taste sensations that are easy to make, eco-friendly, nutritionally superior and easy to make! Yesterday's creation was an Ocean-wise  sable-fish encrusted with Walnuts (BC-grown) topped with basil, a parsnip mash and a carrot, apple and red & orange beet slaw. After being miso-coated it is covered in crushed walnuts, then the fish was braised slightly with a miso and organic maple syrup glaze (YUMMY!) and then baked for about 10-12 minutes in the oven on high temperature to keep the fish juicy. The parsnips were boiled and mashed (and the juices kept for soup stock for a later date) and lightly sprinkled with Sea Salt.  The carrot, beets and apple were grated raw and made for a beautiful color feature when we plated this delicacy! The food was p...

"Drop your weight" my instructor tells me...  "Relax"...   "...stop thinking".  "Let it flow". "Slow yourself down"...  "Be like water".... These are teachings that have been passed down for generations through the world of Kung Fu.  Bruce Lee coined the "one-inch punch" and showed the power you could develop from taking these principles and then applying your rotary, gravitational and extension forces towards a foreign object.  But first and foremost you had to be relaxed... Interestingly, the video game 'Street Fighter' taught me this at an early age, but I didn't listen because I was too busy mashing the buttons on the arcade console scared that I was gonna get my ass handed to me once again.  But now, even if you watch the characters in one of the most popular video games in my generation (the 30 somethings...) these characters do this if I, the controller, has the foresight to time them properly ...

#ShameOnYouCrossfit. Shame. Alas, I've had to rehabilitate a number of people after coming through the crossfit program. This video will give you some insight into why.... It's too bad that the education needed to teach crossfit isn't better, as every single one of these people would be lifting WAY less than this. For obvious reasons Olympic lifting is about the form, this is the most important, and not the weight...ESPECIALLY when you start (and these are OBVIOUSLY beginners). The idea of a fitness community and self-challenge is great, but not at the expense of form and safety. CROSSFIT FAIL Ben
