What is Chromium?

 Lately I have been doing a lot of research on diabetes. I became obsessed with it after my aunt died a couple years ago because of it. Type 2 Diabetes runs in my family and I recently found out a couple of my friends suffer from it also. Through my research I stumbled across a supplement called Chromium.

Chromium is a mineral the we require in trace amounts. It is known to enhance the action of the hormone insulin which is critical in the metabolism and storage of fats, carbohydrates, and protein in the body.

Chromium is found in our food supply but only in small amounts (2 micrograms per serving) because of the way our food is processed. Foods high in simple sugars like fructose and sucrose are extra low in chromium.



Chromium deficiency impairs the body's ability to use glucose to meet its energy needs and raises insulin requirements. It has therefore been suggested that chromium supplements might help to control type 2 diabetes or the glucose and insulin responses in persons at high risk of developing the disease.



As with any supplement you should consult your doctor before taking a Chromium supplement, especially if you’re taking medication.

This table will show you some of the affects chromium will have if taken with certain medications.

2 Cool Kids In DC

The title of this blog is an inside joke that probally only the people in my inner circle will get. Since I don't hang out with many people because I have trust issues my inner circle is more like a box...a very small box. Last weekend I decided to take the girl and her well furnished brain to the orchid exhibit. We had a blast and I recommend that you check it out if you have a chance. We also took a little detour in the museum and found some other cool stuff. Check it out.

Women Can Lift Heavy And Stay Lean

I don't do crossfit but I am a fan  of it. I am always trying to get women to do resistance training or weight training. For some reason a lot of women think they will get bulky or become the incredible hulk. The male and female body where made differently and I don't know any women with enough testosterone to get ginormous. I know alot of women that do P90X or other weight training programs and they go heavy but there still lean and sexy. So watch this vid and pick up a dumbbells ladies.

Bonus: Sneak peak at the new P90X..Shhhh this is Top secret stuff.

You didn't see this..Ok
