Jim’s interest in Biochemical nutrients in blood and how they interact with the Biochemistry of the human body, anatomy and the physiology of Skeletal Muscle Mass and Obesity and how their imbalances may, profoundly, have a negative impact on the body and the Biochemical nutrients in blood; the main instigator of Joint dysfunction, brain misfiring, non-communicative diseases (diabetes, hypertension, inflammation and hypercholesterolemia) and a major contributor of back pain in a majority of cases and allergies, led him to undertake an MSc (Masters of Science degree) in Bioscience Research. Jim is currently pursuing his Doctorate (PhD research) in quantifying changes in the balance between skeletal muscle mass and adipose tissue and how this affects Biochemical nutrients in the blood. Both skeletal muscle mass and adipose tissue may be used as a biomarker to monitor changes in the body as they are sensitive to inactivity or sedentarism, prolonged sitting, poor nutrition and non-communicative diseases.
