Asparagus is high in vitamin A, folic acid and dietary fiber, which are all thought to play a vital role in fighting cancer.

It also contains high levels of potassium, which may help control blood pressure.

Better yet, asparagus is rich in rutin...

Do you love Arangio?

Do you find yourself constantly telling all your friends about how we are helping men and women, over 40 years, get leaner, stronger, and happier?

Have you ever wanted to work with us by sharing in the mission of Arangio that...

Where we live, it's getting dark very early.

It's just that time of the year when there's less daylight.

The temperature is dropping too.

Perfect hibernation weather, if you are a bear.

But you are NOT a bear.

Problem is, this...

One of the most powerful things you can do, to dramatically lose weight and slow aging, is to play "The Long Game."

It's the way I teach my personal training clients to approach everything in life and it goes something like this...

Consistently...

Most often, the fastest way to move forward is by subtracting something.

Sounds odd, right? It goes against the popular theme of more, more, and even more.

Boozing too much. Eating way too much. Feeling sad and guilty and tired for days afterward,...

Success leaves clues and I wanted to benefit from those clues.

Once I made the commitment to surround myself with others who were already where I wanted to be, success seemed to simply flow into my life.

I call it The Yoda Method.

But more on that...

A local health club advertised a $5 coupon inviting folks to an open house.

At this meeting, an "under-the radar expert" would reveal a coveted "ancient secret" diet system that only took a few minutes per day and involved minimal effort.

Imagine...

Do you ever get stuck? Stuck thinking about the past and how things used to be?

I know I do. Maybe you're stuck in a relationship or in a job that you don't love.

Maybe you're stuck with having high bodyfat and low energy.

I talk to countless...

Batch-prepare your meals, on Sundays and Wednesdays, to save time and make sure you have healthy options for the week.

But that doesn't mean you shouldn't make a fresh meal for nightly dinner, if you like.

You see, some foods are better for batch...

If you were in the military, then you’ve likely experienced a real bootcamp.

Not a fitness bootcamp, but a 24/7 “Basic Training” immersive experience designed to prepare you physically and mentally for the tasks ahead.

It’s...

Tired of going nowhere on the treadmill? Respectfully speaking, skip the long slow cardio if you want to build calorie-torching muscle.

As an added bonus you'll slow aging too.

Here's a step-wise plan to help you get lean and strong.

Or lean and...

I’ve seen my client-athletes accomplish some truly inspiring things.

They’ve dreamt of re-building their bodies, living outstanding lives, and having profound impacts. Then they set goals in order to accomplish those dreams.

I think...

Imagine if everything you did was recorded. And if you had something to prove.

Of course you would be more likely to show up and do your best. Why?

Well, because you have something to prove and, oh by the way, almost every move you make is...

You order a quarter chicken (mixed light and dark meat) with honey sauce and salt and pepper. It arrives in a paper bag with deep-fried potato wedges, two pieces of thick-cut sourdough sandwich bread, and a generous side of coleslaw in a paper...

You've heard the still, small voice in the back of your mind, right?

You know, the one that tells you to take shortcuts. To take the easy road. To avoid hardship. To stay clear of anything requiring discipline. To "give up."

But winners...

In life, everything will choose the path of least resistance. Doesn't matter if we're talking about water, electricity, or your brain.

Things will always default to what is the shortest, quickest, or easiest way.

Did you know, through DNA...

Boss: "You're an hour late!" Guy who is about to invent daylight savings time: "Haven't you heard?"

In some parts of the world, during daylight saving time (DST), clocks are turned ahead one hour, so that the sun rises later in the morning and...

It was a brisk Halloween night.

The October moon shone so full and bright that we didn't need flashlights to find our way.

Me and Sharon were dressed up as overtired parents of elementary school children.

Giavanna was bouncing around in her...

Your doctor said you should lift weights to increase bone density and build muscle. This helps to slow aging, right?

Problem is that weights are heavy, according to humorist Dave Barry. "When you lift them, your muscles hurt, which is your body's...

According to author John Maxwell, a crisis will teach you who you are, what you value, and what you believe.

While it feels natural to resist a challenge and wish things would get back to “normal” as quickly as possible, the most...

A good burger is a combination of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins.

It's also big on flavor. Each bite should include the perfect mix of salty meaty, sour pickle, and catsup-sweet goodness.

Nowadays we eat beef about once a week. A pan-seared...

A client looked at his new training program and frowned. "Squats again, Coach?" he exclaimed. I gave him a look that said, "There is never an absolute answer to everything, except of course that you have to do your squats."

I didn't actually say...

Getting lean shouldn't be tough.

"Losing weight" seems to be the most common goal if you're an over-40 man or woman.

Digging a litter deeper, the thing that everyone really wants is to lose unwanted bodyfat.

How do I know?

Well, a few days per...
