I think its fair to say that the majority of young-working Americans fall into the “Weekend Warrior” category. Typically in Bed at 10:30pm Monday through Thursday and then Friday 4pm hits… All routine, structure and daily habits are put on pause and random acts of weekend vibes ensue. Not a bad thing at all. Well, […]

NYT – An ambitious new study published this month in Cell Systems, however, promises to shed some new light, enumerating for the first time the thousands of changes in genes and various biological systems that may occur after even a small amount of weight gain, and which may — or may not — be reversed […]

Its Hard Work to Work Hard Thinks about this statement for a little, let it light up your brain as you try to decipher the code, its inner meaning. To me this sentence can also be presented the following way : “Working Hard is Hard Work”. Working hard has always been an outspoken pillar to […]

NYT – Researchers in China reported on Wednesday that they have created two cloned monkeys, the first time that primates have been cloned with the technique that produced Dolly the sheep more than 20 years ago. The long-tailed macaques, named Zhong Zhong and Hua Hua, were made from fetal cells grown in a petri dish. […]

PS – From Gwyneth Paltrow to Alex Jones of Info Wars, it seems like everyone is promising that vitamins— and their creepy alter ego, supplements—can soothe what ails us. Supplements are now a multi-billion-dollar industry that many say will continue to grow. But we’re not getting any healthier. Last year, U.S. life expectancy declined for […]

EH– Marijuana is now legal — at least for medical purposes — in more than half the states in the country, the researchers said. Curriculum deans at 101 medical schools completed surveys about marijuana education. Just over two-thirds said their graduates weren’t prepared to prescribe medical marijuana. One-quarter said their graduates weren’t even able to […]

Remember when people had two sets of cloths, you know – for when its warm and for when its cold. Life was simple, for those in-between months you’d just take a guess and live a little. Then some real sharp tools in the shed thought: “Hey,  we need cloths for all four seasons . Lets […]

HHP- Interest is also developing in the so-called “brain-gut axis.” It has been theorized that changes in intestinal bacteria may play a role in neuropsychiatric conditions such as anxiety or depression. The intestine has its own separate nervous system, and generates many of the same neurotransmitters (including acetylcholine and serotonin) that the brain generates. These […]

    NYT –There’s an underlying assumption here about what adults can control, and about how children can be controlled, if only their parents would take the trouble, or make and enforce healthy rules for the whole family, or read the nutritional information on the back of the cereal box. Certainly, there’s some confusion and […]

NYT – Americans spend over 90 percent of their lives indoors. Until recently, little was known about how this was impacting us. But evidence is now mounting that we are paying a physiological price for spending all those hours cooped up unnaturally within four walls. Levels of the stress hormone cortisol tend to be higher […]

WSJ –High-tech interventions also have failed to encourage people to live more healthily. For an October 2016 paper in the journal Lancet, researchers at the Duke-NUS Medical School in Singapore randomly assigned employees from 13 organizations to one of four groups, in an effort to encourage exercise. One group got Fitbit Zip trackers, two other […]

  People are naturally nice, all you have to do is be nice first and the magical walls all of a sudden begin to fall down. Let a person see the real you and they’ll make an assessment right then and there. If its not meant to be then so be it, no time wasted […]

I had a friend approach  me recently with the question: What Diet should I go on, Paleo or Keto? I already knew the answer I was going to give her but I was intrigued to hear her reasoning for zoning in on these two diets. I asked her what she was trying to achieve? Her […]

  PI-Some of the water produced as the body consumes fat exits in the usual way, through your urine and sweat. But a 2014 study in the British Medical Journal found that most of the byproducts of fat (including all that carbon dioxide) leaves the body through the respiratory system. Yep, you read that right. […]

It’s about time we take a look into the fabulous life of these mini magicians. The majority of the US population is wetting their palate with at least one prescription daily. Our friends at the Mayo Clinic are throwing these numbers out there: “Nearly 70 percent of Americans are on at least one prescription drug, […]
