Absolutely spendid meeting with the work physiotherapist today! He was very nice and extremely professional, he also lifts so he understood my concerns about free weights and what not. He said I can most likely start to do them later on on autumn. He also checked my squatting form, went through my whole gym programm, showed me what stretches I need to do daily, said me to skip some things I have been doing that are bad for my back and just generally was über awesome. Yay! ^_^
Looking forward to hearing about your back being at 100%. Keep up that positive attitude.
I see a lot of talk of people here munching on almonds. Is it better to get them blanched or unblanched? I'm guessing the latter, but it doesn't hurt to check.
Unblanched. Blanched are usually used in cooking. There's not a ton of difference nutritionally if you're looking at just the macros but the skin of the almond is also where most of the flavonoids come from. Not to mention it adds quite a bit to the flavor.
