Many people these days are looking for something to give them increased energy, a healthy glow and overall well being With raw diet you can lose very easy the extra pounds, you can heal almost any disease, from the worst’s to the minor ones.

What I’m telling you is nothing new, it is not a secret, it is nothing complicated, it is just the raw food.

But let’s see what the raw diet is?

The base of raw diet is un-cooked, un-processed food, 40 °C (104 °F) to 46 °C (115 °F). The raw food diet includes all vegetables, fruits and nuts. However it can include raw milk, raw yoghurt, raw cheese and raw meat.

The raw vegan diet is the most popular form of raw food diets .

Raw foodist, like me, believes that foods cooked at more than 40 °C, will lose their vitamins and nutrients that are good for our body.

This diet includes all vegetables, fruits, seeds, nuts and sprouted grains and legumes.

Most people of follow the raw food diet have more energy, better skin and are much healthier overall .

The raw diet was introduced by the famous writer Ellen White, and appreciated since 1863.

The raw idea attracted a lot of people of all generations . Some time ago, all the raw food related information where available only to Hollywoodian stars, however, now we are all enjoying the access to a lot of information and recipes. Some people believe that if we eat raw we can’t enjoy cakes, cookies, lasagna, and pasta. That’s not true.

Let’s return to the benefits of this diet. Raw food can help heal cancer, leukemia, tumors, diabetes, asthma, obesity, insomnia, acne, allergies, constipation, urinary infection, lack of energy, hair loss, cyst etc.

How can we introduce raw diet in our life?

First of all we have to be convinced that the raw food diet is good for us. Of course, we’ll need a lot of will, but knowing the fact that raw food will help us fight against diseases and will ensure a longer life will help us stay on the track.

One way to start is by introducing more raw vegetables, fruit, seeds and nuts in our eating habits, or, you can just start overnight, like me.

Start with two raw meals over day and just one that is cooked, if you want to have a snack try to eat a fruit, a raw desert or salad. Green smoothies are a definite must have in your diet .

As a conclusion, I can guarantee you, that if you go raw, not necessarily totally, 80 % is also OK, and you will see the difference by yourself.

Second thing is what type of running shoes. I, Yuri Elkaim am moving word to words barefoot running, Naturally, all guys in sport do run bare foot on grass, it makes lot more sense, this is pretty much world is made for . Unfortunately, most of us leave in the competitive world so, the party big chunky shoes having lot of support and lot of cushion . Actually do you know what I am just going to grab 2 shoes to show you what I am using right now, just give me two seconds ? Ok, I am back, so, Previously I was a runner and these kind of shoes are and were used, I am not going to promote any company, I am just going to mention them, there is a difference in the two shoes, on of the shoe is typical and has huge amount of cushion present between your foot and ground which is around a inch and half . Typical shoe typical runner shoe, you know that’s little bit of heel for an action, that’s what we use to run in .

This shoe is obviously of Nike and there is huge difference here if you look at few of the things, it is more static and sturdy and I am not able to bend it around . This Nike free I can like wrap around like nothing . The shoe give later support to your foot, it also allows your foot to do what it is suppose to do, this thing i like most about this shoe, so while running on concretes or over treadmill it is my choice as it allows me land properly on my feet t. The key is we are talking about the shoes; we are also talking about running at the same time and Athletic workouts can also be performed.

Running shoes, I think with the less support, this is my personal opinion moving away from big bulky, lots of support, lots of cushioning, right, what these shoes do is that they basically tell your feet, don’t worry we have everything. I am like what about those ab docs, it tell your cores not to do anything because it is basically supporting, same thing happens with these big bulky shoes. I think first we moving towards a less supportive shoes that allows your foot to do more of the natural work is actually good on the better bare foot because it allows your foot muscles to do naturally strengthen and move as they were, I am more on the bare foot side.

I never wear a shoe comparatively; let’s see what bare foot can make you feel free is the difference in 5 fingers. Lot of people who are talking on it, love it. I had tried it and I will. So, we are talking about running stride, you want to think about lining, not so much, so, ok so my arm is the surface, right, you are Running, you want to land so much heel and then toe ok, so the situation is like this, right and what this tells is the problem with this is when you are heel striking, think like your brakes on, when you are driving a car, when your feet is whole stretch when you are putting the brakes on. Same thing is on running, when you are running and when you are landing on your heel naturally your foot; your foot is in front of your body and what that naturally does is slows it and basically takes the front of the force slows your body down and transmits that force up to your body, not in the muscles necessarily it can also pass to the structure that joins the joints and bones.

The difference in mid foot running or front foot running, so mid foot being kind of landing, so this will be more of mid foot run, landing on and above that prospective, ok, we have got fore footer ball, footballer do sprints, landing kind of in that position out there. The difference with this is that when you are running on fore foot you are naturally over top your foot, ok, so your body’s weight is on top of your foot which means that and it is shifted that means, your muscles do lot more of work, ok. You are not putting brakes as you are much when you are landing and actually causing your muscles to do lot more work.

Hey everyone, Yuri Elkaim, you are welcome to another episode of Ask Yuri, and today we are going to show you how to increase your vertical jump. This is question received a little while ago. It is from a young man, who is saying:

“Hey Yuri I started playing basketball for a team, and I want to jump over people and dunk from half. That’s pretty ambitious, how can I increase my vertical jump.”

It is a great question, and really if you want to increase your vertical jump, you are looking at developing more body power . You are looking at developing more body strength and body power . You need combination of strength a fundamental element of power and power which enables you to move weight quickly . So what you want to do is you want to spend time developing lower body strength through really good compound movements like dead lifts, squats, those are probably main to better have the biggest transfer to the actual Vertical jump. For vertical motion you need to move up your posterior chain to the back side of your body which is a driving force .

So there are couples of variations dead lifts and squats you can do, but I would recommend those as the two big ones in developing your vertical jump . You can adopt different ways to enhance your single leg strength . So you want to look at doing some single leg work, right. One leg is squats, one is dead lifts even to develop a hamstring and glutes, step-ups are really, really tool and once you develop this lower body base of strength, where you can look at doing, may be after couple of, I would recommend, I mean if you are just starting, you know, you are going to want to spend some time, learning the technique and then developing lower body strength.

As if you are little bit more advanced, and has lived through this program, I would recommend, building Plyometric, into program afterwards, six weeks or so . So with strength training Athletic workouts, lower body stuff, when you go three times a week, then afterwards six weeks to eight weeks you can start adding some Plyometric basically. These are more power side body weight workouts, jumps, balance, stuff like that. The idea of the Plyometric is that when you are jumping, for instance, just imagine, jumping on the trampoline, right in the bouncing, when you hit the floor, or you hit the trampoline, you take off boom, boom, boom, and that’s pretty much type of Plyometric same thing if you are jumping roof, right.

So if you hit on the floor you are taking off, taking off, taking off . What that does is, basic Plyometric is a technical training that trains your nervous system to respond quicker.   . Basically how it works is that when you absorb, for instance, when you land, your muscles absorb energy, right, and if you take off within a certain time frame, you know, milliseconds, you can use that energy and transfer it into an actual kinetic energy, in your deepen movements that you want to perform.

Hey everyone, Yuri Elkaim here with another episode of ask Yuri. We are talking about Foot speed, this is something, and we know we get lot of questions on interval training, fat burning training and stuff like that but I love with few topics that are my bread and butter. Just in case you know your strength and conditioning coach over the soccer program at university tunnel, I play professional soccer and I had gone through, you know, all professional requirements and all like stuff whole life and I love these athletes. Foot speed is the thing when it comes for foot speed training which is my bread and butter . I was goal keeper and foot speed for goal keeper is everything , so what about this one.

Hi, serious question, first thing I am a hockey player and as a hockey player foot speed is essential for acceleration. What things I can do to improve my foot speed, I have come across many hockey players playing soccer, is it to improve the foot speed . There is no relation of hockey game and soccer in context with foot speed , I deliberate more of you can do is that you can do relaxation, kicking around, probably the factor that allow hockey player that are with European backgrounds so they all play soccer anyways and it is just so simple to keep your ball all around.

Ok, The topic of how to increase the foot speed is awesome and I have enough information to share with you . When you are training for foot speed, there should be quality and quantity between the acceleration and speed . What that means is that if you are going to do sprinter training this is how you train. To sit down for couple of minutes, then read cartridge clip or you talk with your chum and then you get up, you warm up little bit, you shake things out then sprints, 10 to 12 cycles of whatever it is. You jog it out, shake it out, you come back and sit down, you keep moving around, 5 to 10 minutes later you do it again.

You might be thought what kind of training is this; this is absolutely nonsensical to waste time. Well, for most people yes, but for sprinters and for people who are looking to improve various aspects of baron and speed that is something very important because the quality of each repetition needs to be one one C percent. If you are training for fast then you need to train fast, you cannot get well-worn or you cannot be, you cannot be doing the stuffs slowly, you need to do it for real at one hundred percent at your fast as possible. Because when you training at foot speed you are training your neural system and you are not training your muscles necessarily, ok? This is very important to understand; you are training your nervous system , ok, you are training your body to react faster , so therefore you need to one hundred percent fresh every single time whether you are slept or reap whatever it is.

What are some specific ways to improve your foot speed? Well, there are really some cool things you can do to improve your speed lag, ok. You can just take a run and you can fold it up and there are other sources of speed that you can do, you know, two feet in one foot in and all sources of legs, hops and all types of stuffs. I had actually granted all these types of workouts on Fitter U fitness program. But anything you can do to get your feet moving spry is one to get with options. So speed ladder are awesome, you can use still runs one at a time, with every single step fast you can, try your arms, get your arms drive and get your feet moves fast as possible.
