5-The Relationship Between Energy, Nutrition, and Fitness

Many have heard of the calorie, but not many have heard where the calorie comes from and how heat becomes associated with respiration. Come learn how this fundamental measurement to nutrition, fitness, and health was conceived with ice spheres and guinea pigs with de la Place and Lavoisier; and how the concept of heat energy became associated with biological function from Joules, Helmholz, Faraday, Leibig, Voit, Rubner, Atwater, and Peters. Finally, together we will discover how the electrons’ role in thermodynamics fundamentally changed our concept and philosophy of energy, and how to understand biophysical energy from our environment to promote and maintain our body and its biological systems.
