As a Personal Trainer In Singapore I read Mind your Body each week in the Straits Times. It’s probably The most widespread Singapore health publication in newspapers or otherwise.

Unfortunately some of the stuff is just plain wrong… and before it gets out of hand, here is the correct information.

There was an article on red meat and how bad it is… uh huh… really?… This is WRONG. Red meat is GREAT for you. The fat in the meat increases good hormone levels like testosterone and it also slows digestion of the food so that you don’t get a big bad "rush" of energy that encourages your body to store fat.

The reporter also mentioned that she feels "bloated" after eating red meat. That is NOT the fault of the meat! Thats because her digestive system is in poor shape. Fixing a person’s digestive system is the FIRST thing we do with all our clients so that they can digest all the nutritious food we ask the to eat!

There was another feature on this guy who looks fit. It was on the back page of the newspaper. He says he trains 3 hours a day and sleeps 5. This is also WRONG. He would do ALOT better training 1 hour and sleeping 7! When you sleep too little your hormones again get out of whack. Yes you can keep it up for a while but you run the risk of burnout. Your hormones that were in overdrive to help you sustain the crazy life suddenly shut down from overwork and in a few months you can suddenly bloat up from your slim waistline to a big baloon because the body gives up.

There is always a price to pay for sleeping too little and stressing your body too much.

I applaud health publications attempts to get people to be more healthy… its just that sometimes they are just plain WRONG.

But hey… they aren’t the ones giving money back guarantees to their clients right:)
