Shark Fin Soup and Benefits of Shark Cartilage
June 19, 2008 by Jimson Lee
When I was a boy (and that was a longtime ago) I remember eating Shark Fin Soup for New Year’s Day dinner. The occasional wedding dinner would also serve it as an appetizer.
Unlike the Bird Nest soup (which isn’t really a bird nest) and the Egg Roll (which doesn’t contain any eggs), Shark Fin Soup […]

Are the Foods You Are Eating Keeping You in Pain?
April 29, 2008 by Jimson Lee
During the summer in the Pacific Northwest, we do get our fair share of mosquitoes, and one of my tips to reduce the pain and inflammation is taking Omega 3 supplements. Lots of it.
I didn’t realize it at the time until I contacted Jesse Cannone, and he mentioned trying an “Anti-Inflammatory Diet” as certain […]

Introduction
I’ve reviewed my fair share of training videos in the past and was very happy to see this DVD didn’t focus on selling a gadget, or belong to the “answer to success is core stability” camp. Visions of Paul Chek come to mind.
I’m a big fan of going back to basics and keeping things […]
Fluid Intake, Dehydration, Sports Drinks and Muscle Cramps
December 10, 2007 by Jimson Lee
It’s December, which means two things: if you live down under in Australia, it’s the heat of summer (especially the more north you go). Elsewhere, it’s also the holiday season, holiday parties, and of course plenty of alcohol.

Stretching and Flexibility
March 12, 2007 by Jimson Lee
I think STRETCHING should be renamed to CHECKING.
After all, you are checking if your muscles are warm and long enough. When you do. for example, the classic hamstring stretch and can’t touch toes when you normally can, Dude, you are STIFF! You checked if your muscles were ready.
