Can intermittent fasting make you healthier, look younger, even help you live longer? According to some researchers and many others that partake in the diet, that is exactly what they claim.
We are our DNA… right? Well in short, yes. The DNA is our blueprint and once it’s coded, we can’t change it. But what gets expressed can… This is the job of our epigenes, it determines what gene gets turned on and off from our DNA.
Most notably for me in the last few years, time has become a huge factor, and trying to fit in a 1 - 2 hour workout per day just isn’t realistic. Also, after working out for well over 30 years of my life, it’s hard to keep motivated, especially if the workouts are long and boring, which is why I gravitate towards shorter duration, high intensity workouts.
How do you save your knees while exercising? Your knees are the life line to your fitness, since using your legs is the best way to increase total energy expenditure when working out and is completely necessary to perform full body functional exercises, as well as cardio. So I thought it would be a good idea to take a look at your knee and see how common problems arise and how we can prevent them.
Cardio is the most popular form of exercise in the world. It’s simple (not easy) and has been associated with many health benefits such as cardiovascular health, general fitness and weight/fat loss. But there comes a point where your cardio stops working for you.
We all tend forget the importance of muscle recovery. Of course we all notice the lean bodies with the sculpted abs, but how much work did the muscles have to do to get the desired effect?
Big Brother is now watching your waistline. It’s come to this, where individual health and well being is now dictated by the chain smoking, overweight members of the government.
“Crash diets” and “crash workouts” can affect your mood negatively, but what this former Biggest Loser contestant did takes irritability to a whole ‘nuther level.
If proper technique is not required to lift heavy objects, than I expect to grow wings with enough Red Bull consumption. At least that’s the way I felt when I initially saw the article titled, “Training On The Correct Way To Lift Heavy Objects Does Not Prevent Back Pain”.
For those of you that have ever experienced low back pain you know how debilitating it can be. But there’s a surprisingly simple remedy that can help relieve the pain for many people.
Just when I thought I’d heard all the negative effects carbs have on our bodies, a new study reveals more bad news…
I admit, when I saw Oprah all over the news for her recent weight gain, I jumped at the chance to write about it. But as I was writing, I changed my mind. I really didn’t think that you needed to read about another celebrity’s struggles with weight. Don’t get me wrong, I like Oprah (unlike some of the other celebrities that can’t seem to stay away from the headlines) and I respect her A LOT for all that she’s accomplished.
I think it’s incredibly brave of her to come out and let the entire world know about her weight problem. Can you imagine? Once you make the headlines, you’re like an open target for anyone to shoot you down with judgement and criticism. But if you know Oprah, you can be sure she’ll use her problem as an example and put a positive spin on it to shed more light on the very serious problem of obesity and the general decline of health in America.
So why did I stop writing about Oprah’s infamous weight gain?
The fountain of youth. A mystical fountain that stops the aging process so you can stay forever young. Well, no one’s found it quite yet, but we’re getting close! Aging can be prolonged even more today than it was just a few years ago. But these new findings may accelerate anti-aging research even further.
There’s a fierce internet scam being advertised all over the internet - and I mean ALL over it! Have you seen this or do you know anyone that has fallen into this trap?
The holiday season has officially arrived and you know what that means…Office parties and countless gatherings with family and friends. It’s a fun but hectic time for most of us and it’s also the time when we start to let things slide.
