Thais and core

First off thier life style and diet give them a better functioning core than us in my opinion. It takes longer at crap exercises, like sit-ups, to take it away.

I'll get to the food link in a minuit.

They use thier core in how they stand and in everything they do (I think they over use the internal obliques maybe (not sure) but they certyainly creat internal pressure. It would be interesting to look at thier breathing etc as the diaphram is a big part of core function (nad health!)

Food and core.

Some foods will turn your core off. Think I'm on crack? lol

In a heart attack, where do you feel it?? Not in the heart huh? How come?

What happens is where the heart is attatched to the spine that spinal segment also has attatchments for the shoulder etc. The whole spine is like this. The visera, muscles, skin etc etc all attatch or are connected I should say.

So when the heart has a prob (heart attack) it sends a signal to that spinal segment and that sends it up to the brain. The brain sends a signal back saying act like your in pain or having a heart attack but when the signal goes back to the spinal segment it gets sent out to all the connections at that level.

So when you eat crap foods or foods that are not right for you (your metabolic type, food sensitivities, allergies, 'non-foods', 'displacement foods'(read garbage and junk, etc it creates a problems with the digestive system. e.g. the small intestines send the signal to the spine-to the brain-bakc to the spine and the abdominals shut off.

Many people do sit-ups forever. 100s a day and still have distended bellys (well sit-ups do stick it out more than draw it in but..). They don't get the training response they want.

Thais eat real food much more. They don't eat garbage shakes and prrtein bars, energy drinks(very often). They don't eat boxed, processed crap. Therefor they are uch more likely to have proper functioning abdominal musculature.
