An Introduction to Food Allergies, Food Sensitivities, and Food Intolerances

By: 0

An Introduction to Food Allergies, Food Sensitivities, and Food Intolerances-CFSB Wellness Wednesday In this video we give you an introduction to Food Allergies, Food Sensitivities, and Food Intolerances. The first and most important thing to recognize is that even though these three sound like the same thing, they are importantly different from one another. Food Allergies: -Are immune-mediated IgE reactions that affect 1-2% of the population -Their effects are usually fairly immediate and severe. -They usually affect the airways, the skin, and the gastrointestinal tract Food Sensitivities: -Are immune-mediated IgG and IgM reactions (there are also other types of food sensitivity reactions) that affect 20-30% of the population, a way higher percentage of the population than food allergies -In contrast to a food allergy, food sensitivity reactions can occur anywhere from 45 minutes to up to 3 days after ingesting a food. -In contrast to a food allergy, food sensitivities can affect almost any organ in the body including the brain, the adrenal glands, the thyroid, etc. -Celiac disease, for example, is not a wheat allergy! It is an extreme form of a food sensitivity that comes in the form of an autoimmune attack on the small intestine as a result of eating wheat. Food Intolerances: -Are not immune mediated reactions, but rather they are typically reactions that occur as the result of a digestive inability to break down a particular type of food molecule, typically carbohydrates. Lactose intolerance is the most famous type of food intolerance. Running short on time? Check out the 90-second preview here: https://youtu.be/oeZk2OzCgcY

SPLIT SQUAT: Setting up, you should have the height you are placing your back foot to at just below your kneecap. place the other foot 3 paces away from the object so that when you lunge down, your front shin is vertical, and if mobility allows - your back knee touches the ground - here is a picture 2 seconds down, 0 seconds at the bottom, smooth on the way up, 1 second at the top. RUN: Pay attention to your run times and try to keep them consistent from round to round. Run the first one at 80-90%  [/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title="Tuesday 5.10.16" open="false"]Tuesday 5.10.16 A. 5 Rounds Max Unbroken Strict Pull Ups rest 30 seconds 30-60 second Pillar Hold rest 90 seconds B. Teams of 3 - Perform 3 Rounds EACH Farmers Carry AHAP 100 Yards (50 yards out, 50 yards back) :60s Row for Calories @ 80-90% effort Rest - as long as it takes for your partners to roll through. [Notes:] Pull Ups - Leave a little in the tank for each set of pull ups, don't go to absolute failure. We would prefer everyone performed a vertical pull on this day, so bands are allowed - but under control. Wod: Person 1 Farmer Carries, then hops on the rower - using the rower timer to control the 60s As soon as Person 1 is finished with the Farmers Carry, person 2 may start their farmers carry/row round As soon as Person 2 is finished with the Farmers Carry, person 3 may start their farmers carry/row round Continue in this fashion until everyone has went through 3 times. If weather permits, farmers walk 50 yards out and 50 yards back outside If its "yucky" outside, perform 5 x 10 yards out, 10 yards back inside ROW: I want the row to be consistent each time. If you hit 20 calories the first time, no more than a deviation of 1 each time. Reset the rower before you get on it each  time - no building on others calories FARMERS WALK: Go hard, but not so hard that you'll have to set them down in the first full round.  [/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title="Wednesday 5.11.16" open="false"]Wednesday 5.11.16 A. 5 Minute amrap 5 Wall Balls 15 Double Unders 5 Sit Ups rest 3:00 5 Minute amrap 10 Russian Kettlebell Swings 100 Yard Shuttle (10 Yards out and back x 5) rest 3:00 5 Minute amrap 5 Wall Balls 15 Double Unders 5 Sit Ups rest 3:00 5 Minute amrap 10 Russian Kettlebell Swings 100 Yard Shuttle (10 Yards out and back x 5) [Notes:] Wallball, Doubles, Sit ups: Throughout this amrap, the sets are low enough where you should never have to break a set - choose an appropriate weight for the wall ball so that you DO NOT HAVE TO BREAK SETS. Choose an appropriate pace that you should be able to take no more than 2-3 big breathes between rounds. When I say 80-90%, and its an aerobic workout, thats 80-90% of the aerobic system. So I want sweat, breathing, but not stopping on account of muscle fatigue. KBS Shuttle: Same thing, choose an appropriate weight that ensures you do not break, and a pace you can keep consistently throughout each round. Consistency: If you hit 85 reps in the first 5 min and 75 reps (each shuttle counting as 1 rep) in the second then your 3rd and 4th amrap which are repeated should be 85 and 75, plus or minus maybe 2-3 reps for fumbling.[/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title="Thursday 5.12.16" open="false"]Thursday 5.12.16 A.

[2 Blocks of the 4 Rounds ] 4 Rounds 3 minute amrap Run 200m in the time remaining with your 3 minutes, perform as many rounds as possible of 3 Pull Ups 6 Push Presses rest 2 minutes between rounds, rest 10 minutes between blocks [Notes:] Recycled from last Saturday's notes - Did you do the math already? its 46 minutes long. So try to show up on time for class – if you miss some of the warm up you might be SOL for this workout. Pacing: This is all performed at 80-90% effort…meaning I want consistent scores throughout each matching piece. So that should play into your weight selection. If you’ll notice, We’ve been prescribing Rx’d weights less and less – because you are all individuals and differ greatly, think of the intent of getting the correct stimulus the RX’d on these workouts. for instance I should see… 1: 31 reps, 30 reps, 30 reps, 29 reps 2: 31 reps, 30 reps, 29 reps, 28 reps Keep the rounds close     Pull Ups: I want round cycling, so if you cannot cycle 3 pull ups, its jumping pull up day today for you - and I understand the stimulus is different with the amount of knee flexion/extension involved in the jumping pull ups, just try to make it as much of a pull as you can.

A.  Snatch - 3-position snatch (one snatch from floor, one snatch from above the knee, one snatch from the hip) - 5x1 - increase 5-10# from 4/25 B.  Front squat - 5x3@70% of 1RM FS C.  14min EMOM - 0dd=5DL @ 50% of 1RM DL, even=7 strict hanging knee raises   **This week should look familiar! It's the second round of the linear progression. If you missed week 1 and don't have a number to go off of, you're starting at 65% of the snatch and FS. Be smart with the 5-10# increase. Only increase by 10# if your max lift is >200#. The lifts will be getting heavier, the conditioning will be getting harder, and you guys will be getting stronger. Yay!

May 12th is the 2-year anniversary of CFSB Weightlifting! I am so proud of this crew, and that goes beyond all of the awesome PRs you all have been hitting lately. You are all great athletes, but you're also some of the coolest, most encouraging, and truly incredible people that I've had the pleasure to get to know. Today is my last day of coaching at CFSB, and I want you guys to know that you have made coaching one of the highlights of my week and my life. Warm-up: hip circle flue activation drills, wall walks A.  Clean and jerk - from 4-6" blocks - 5x2@65% of 1RM C&J B.  OHS - 5x3@70% of 1RM OHS C.  Rotating Tabata: 1) KB swings (American 70/55#), 2) parallette shoot throughs, 3) push press @ 60% of 1RM jerk
