Grow Muscles with Peaches?

Getting toned arms and legs sounds like a job for Mr. Nautilus. But Mr. Peach? Maybe. Seems potassium-rich produce -- like peaches -- gives your muscles what they need to stay toned, healthy, and able to do their jobs. It's a BalanceA diet heavy in proteins and cereal grains can cause blood to become too acidic. When this happens, muscle tissue can waste away. Fruits and vegetables, though, make your body's pH more alkaline -- mostly thanks to their high potassium content. So it makes sense that people in a recent study who loaded up on potassium-rich produce had more lean muscle mass than their produce-shirking peers.

Some foods high in potassium:

Baked potatoes with skin – 1,082 mg
Baked sweet potatoes with skin - 694 mg
White beans ½ cup - 595 mg
Low fat yogurt – 8oz. - 531 mg
Beets – 1 cup - 519 mg
Banana - 422 mg
Kidney Beans ½ cup 328 mg
Peaches – 1 cup 323 mg
Raisins – 1.5 oz 322 mg
Blackberries – 1 cup 233 mg


Exercise, as we all know, is also very important to the strength and tone of our muscles. But my opinion is different than some folks. What does all the bulk and muscles do for us anyway….besides make us LOOK fit….that doesn’t mean we ARE fit. My approach to exercise it variable range of motion. Exercise the entire body with large, varying movements. This brings general health….not specific muscles.

Try a variety of exercise – rotating them every day…..ab work, then leg work, then some kundalini yoga….works for me! STRETCH….it feels so good!
