Mr Healthy Mondays: Foodie Edition Baked Pasta

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a good Easter and enjoyed a bit of candy, but not too much ☺ I caught my wife letting our son eat some candy with a friend of his. I didn’t jump in and take it away. No, I’m not the meanest dad in the world. However, my son…

Mr Healthy Mondays: Try a little harder to be a little better

It’s a question I get frequently from players and fans both wanting the same thing: better results. We all want to take care of our bodies, but I feel like I have gotten very consistent objections throughout the years as to why someone can’t. They include, “I don’t have time, I don’t have the money,…

Mr Healthy Mondays: Healthy Food Trends

As we get closer and closer to the season I will make sure to write some articles about functional eating and supplementation routines as they apply to being active. I wanted to do something a little from the norm this week that is near and dear to my heart. The whole environmentalism movement has always…

Mr Healthy Mondays: A Diet Tip For Our Busy Lives

Time. The one thing we never have enough of, the one thing we can never get back. There would be a real irony with that if I wrote an article that took too much time to read. So here goes trying to pack a significant concept into a small amount of words. There are only…

Mr Healthy Mondays: Nutrition Advice for Athletes

I mentioned from the outset of writing these articles for #MrHealthyMondays that frequently, topics come from readers who inquire about certain things. Thank you Evan for bringing something up that is both the source of frustration and opportunity for me. Allow me to set the stage first. I have given hundreds of health consultations to…

Mr Healthy Mondays: Holiday Health Tips

Well, now that it’s over, you know what that means? We are full swing into the holiday season. Whatever holidays you celebrate, likely they involve friends, family, good food, booze and relaxing. While you’re busy meeting up with friends, getting some great deals on things for yourself and procrastinating buying gifts for others, remember, your…

Mr Healthy Mondays: Smoothies!

Thanks to everyone who contacted me about the enzyme series. Your compliments mean a lot, but also your feedback helps me to craft the conversation moving forward. If there is anything you’d like my opinion on in future posts, please tag me in your comment or message me directly to get the conversation going! I’m…

Mr Healthy Mondays: The Digestive Enzyme Finale

I’m wrapping up the digestive enzyme series this week. If you haven’t had a chance to follow it the last 2 weeks, refer to the previous articles. Week 1: https://avp.com/?p=3438 Week 2: https://avp.com/news/mr-healthy-mondays-enzymes-part-2/ So far I’ve really tried to drive home that digestive enzymes, and our ability to break down food is paramount to…

Mr Healthy Mondays: Enzymes Part 2

Did you read last week’s introduction to enzymes? If you need to catch up, here’s last week’s post: https://avp.com/?p=3438 Digestive enzymes help our body break down food quicker. The hydrochloric acid in our stomach does an ok job, but the enzymes are really what help to speed it up. The acid we produce does…

Mr Healthy Mondays: What are enzymes and why do we need them?

Want to live longer? Keep reading… Who thinks I should have started that off with, “Come with me if you want to live?” (In my best Arnold voice of course) No, reading my stuff doesn’t naturally make you live longer. If it did, I’d be a little more famous I think. I wanted…

Breast Cancer Awareness: Anti-Cancer Foods and Herbs

So I mentioned last week that I’ll probably stir the pot a little bit with these articles. Why wait, right? If you are a fan of the NFL, or if you go out to eat at chain restaurants ever, or if you turn on the TV for even a second this month, you’ll be…

#MrHealthyMondays with AVP Player Russ Marchewka!

So I would be incredibly humbled if a decent amount of you reading this know who I am. In other words, I’m not expecting that. My name is Russ Marchewka (the only Russ on the AVP if you don’t want to attempt the last name) and I’ve been playing on the AVP for the last…
