I was very interested in Jake's blog post regarding Sport's Nutrition. Being an athlete, it is always appealing for me to learn new information relating to nutrition that may help me perform better in my sport. The blog that Jake had found using Technorati was very intriguing and had a professionalism to it. John Phillips, author of this blog, seems to focus in on a certain topic and then find articles that he blogs about to support that topic. For example, the information on vitamins reducing risk of heart attack. Phillips finds four articles relating to vitamins reducing risk of heart attack to support the topic. All of his posts are well researched and include a lot of information for the reader to easily learn. He also includes hyperlinks which link back to the information that supports his blog posts. It is an extremely educational blog and is also very intriguing to read, especially as an athlete.
The most intriguing topic of the blog for me to read was the post about Leptin and Ghrelin. It was extremely interesting for me because we are learning about Leptin aiding in weight loss in Zoology 101. Is it possible for overweight people to be injected with the hormone Leptin? Why does it aid in weight loss? This article and blog post allows for the reader to easily understand how the body uses the hormones Leptin and Ghrelin to control when it is full and when it is hungry.
Overall, I was very interested in Jake's blog post and was able to learn a lot from what he found through Technorati. This blog is now a bookmark on my computer!
