Here’s part of a great blogpost from CrossFit Asheville about alcohol and other vices.  Check out the full article here.  Live healthy people, you deserve it. 

Physiological stress is the result of a busy mind (positive or negative), burning of calories, and physical activity.  Living is a stress.  Our body deals with each of those situations the same way.  Activation of our sympathetic nervous system is our response to stress.  It is the system that prepares us for action.  We turn our bodies into energy and get it ready to be used.  After that our parasympathetic nervous system takes over to help us recover, repair damage, and build us up for the next stressful moment.

** Big thanks to Ben for coaching on Friday, Candace for coaching on Saturday, and Nathan for teaching the CrossFit Sweat Shop class at Lululemon in Walnut Creek on Sunday while I attended the CrossFit Nutrition seminar this past weekend.  More info on that to come.**
