This is a quick article about the Rainier cherry
It’s about the health benefits of Rainier cherries. Advancements at Washington State University in 1952 led to people being able to enjoy this particularly delicious type of cherry. UW Dawgs all the way, and yet I can find a way to admire WSU’s agricultural game.
I use my degree for fitness so I won’t have to order from the other UW alumni
Health benefits of Rainier cherries

List of Health Benefits: First, realize that all of these benefits relate to fat-loss in one way or another. The effects on the body are diverse, yet always inter-related.
- Nourishing energy. Eating fresh is awesome and helps you enjoy a leaner life-style. A cup provides 90 very nutrient-dense calories.
- Delicious. The sensations on the tongue are even enough to improve quality of life. Who needs a doctor when you’ve got these red-yellow cherries. Makes you feel good.
- Anti-Diabetes effect due to high antioxidant value. Natural DNA-protective mechanisms become activated and expressed. Promotes healthy blood sugar metabolism so that your cells are signaled to burn body-fat for energy instead.
Enzymes and raw foods benefits
I believe a balanced diet includes raw foods consumption. Cherries contain bio-active ingredients which have beneficial effects in the cell tissue of the human body. Here is a list to share some of the benefits:
- Anti-inflammatory
- Anti-cancer
- Anti-inflammatory
- Anti-diabetic

PS dear readers, the Enzymes from cherries are catalysts for promoting healthy natural function. They are used to create meaningful cellular interactions that are able to light up cells with positive activity. Also, it is a seasonal item!

Nutrients signal many important human genetic pathways. Antioxidants protect DNA in the body through the optimization of processes related to inflammation in the body, gut, and joints. Also the brain. Antioxidants manage inflammation.

What are the benefits of BCAA (Branched Chain Amino Acids) for Fat Loss?
This is a brief article to describe the potential positive effects of BCAA’s for fat loss.
Good supplements should be designed with effectiveness in mind. The physical components of essential amino acids are easily digestible using powder or capsule BCAA supplements. Many BCAA supplements contain little or no calories so it will add nutrient density to a calorie restricted diet.
Burning fat on a calorie restricted diet
This specific combination of essential amino acids provide energy and clean burning muscle nutrients.
Fat loss on a caloric restricted diet is more likely to be successful when it is low in sugar, alcohol, and processed foods. You should be plant strong as well.
When to take BCAA
There are several occasions but the best bang for the buck is around the workout period. So…
1. Take BCAA before/during/or/after the workout. I would take it about 15-30 minutes prior to a workout to let it digest. If I knew my workout was going to be long (more than 75 minutes), then I would sip on it to improve fitness gains.
2. During short eating windows and diet, BCAA can be a life saving nutrient for the good cells. In other words, say you decide to eat only between a 10 hour period in the day — you would probably lose weight. By consuming the BCAA’s during time of fasting (the other 14 hours), you will preserve cells which are capable of signaling the fat burning process. And let the fat burn baby.
Where to find it?
It’s everywhere.

Destroy fat with these three fitness tips
Fitness tips and techniques to burn fat faster
Here are a few tips to help you in the fat loss journey starting with…
1. Drink more water before meals
If you intend to burn fat, then the energy needs to be moving. Support the flow with H20. Water before meals is associated with fat loss in a study of adults.
2. Focus on the healthy internal gut bacteria
Kefir is a great example of a fermented food for fat loss and gut health. More than that, it can reduce allergic responses and make the immune system more efficient. Along with antioxidant effects, fermented foods provide powerful fat burning nutrients.
3. Run fast up hills (HIIT)
Running fast up hill is pure fat burn potential. Whether at first it is a jog, then a run until finally you decide to sprint. Getting up that incline is devastating for fat cells. The benefit of high intensity interval training is that MOST of the fat loss comes after the workout.
Self Esteem and Body Image for Fitness and Fat Loss
Do you get confidence from having a great body?
The answer to this question isn’t clear for many of us, even people who most of us would perceive to exude both grace and beauty.
Body image is complex
Take a moment to reflect on your thought process on your body currently. Do you find yourself often thinking how it needs to be different or are you thinking about what your body is capable of?
“I stay active, it’s what I do.”
It goes back to performance goals vs. aesthetic goals. People who make fitness part of their lifestyle are those who enjoy feeling improved performance. You realize that you’ll never look like anybody else because your body is unique. Gain strength, both inner and outer.
Self esteem linked to action
You can be confident in your abilities, but if you don’t take the right action then you might still suffer consequences of esteem.
This is why performance goals reign supreme in fitness and will leave you feeling good about yourself. All fitness levels will be able to improve upon some parameter of physical fitness by improving strength through a healthy range of motion.
It’s what you do that counts
Eating those fresh vegetables. When it comes down to it’s deepest essence, that is DOING!
So DO YOU.
