Be an Educated Exercise Enthusiast!
If you do two minutes of stair climbing — that’s a couple of flights — five or six times a day, in eight short weeks you can:
1. Increase your heart-lung fitness by almost 20 percent, upping your odds of a longer, better life.
2. Reduce bad LDL cholesterol by 8 percent, and raise good HDL cholesterol by about that much, shrinking your risk of a heart attack, stroke, erectile dysfunction and wrinkles (all are increased by LDL).
You gain the most benefit and lessen the risks when you exercise in your target heart rate zone. Usually this is when your exercise heart rate (pulse) is 80% to 85% of your maximum heart rate. Your maximum heart rate is the highest your pulse rate can get. To calculate your predicted maximum heart rate, use this formula:
220 – Your Age = PREDICTED MAXIMUM HEART RATE
For example, a 50 year old would have a predicted maximum heart rate of 170 beats per minute (220 – 50 = 170). So, this individual’s ideal target heart rate zone would be between 136-145 beats per minute (170 x 0.80 = 136; 170 x 0.85 = 144.5).
‘Cause You’re Worth It!

Along with potentially serious health problems, obesity also carries with it the burden of being the last acceptable form of discrimination in today’s society. Because of this, Obesity Action Coalition (OAC) is calling on Amazon Inc., Apple Inc., Google Inc. and the Microsoft Corporation to take the following actions:
Remove all applications perpetuating fat-shaming
Modify application review guidelines to exclude the approval of any application perpetuating weight bias, stigma or fat-shaming
Fat-shaming apps have the potential to continue the cycle of weight-based bullying in our Nation. Add your voice to removing fat-shaming apps: Apps such as, “Fatify,” “Fatbooth,” “Fat You” and others greatly perpetuate fat-shaming and weight bias in today’s society.
Children are the primary users of these types of apps, and the apps are teaching children that the disease of obesity is a funny cosmetic issue, which we know is not true.
A letter by OAC President/CEO Joe Nadglowski and OAC Chairman Ted Kyle, RPh, MBA, appeared in the Sunday New York Times! Read the full letter about why obesity is an important health issue and that fat shaming can actually make it worse: http://mobile.nytimes.com/2014/06/29/opinion/is-obesity-ok.html?_r=0
Approximately 30 percent of girls with excess weight and 24 percent of boys with excess weight report being teased by peers at school. These apps have the potential to further exacerbate weight-based bullying and fat-shaming – especially in children.

Headache? Groggy? Natural therapy without medication!
Image Posted on Updated on
I tried it myself this morning and it worked. Why not give it a try…..
The nose has a left and a right side. We use both to inhale and exhale.
Actually they are different. In about 5 mins, your headache will be gone…. You’ll be able to feel the difference.
The right side represents the sun. The left side represents the moon.
During a headache, try to close your right nostril and use your left nostril to breathe. In about 5 mins, your headache will go away.
If you feel tired, just reverse, close your left nostril and breathe through your right nostril. After a while, you will feel your mind is refreshed.
Right side belongs to ‘hot’, so it gets heated up easily. Left side belongs to ‘cold’.
Most females breathe with their left nostril, so they get “cooled off” faster. Most of the guys breathe with their right nostril, so they get “worked up”.
Here’s a test for you. Do you notice, the moment you awake, which side breathes better? Left or right ? If left is better, you will feel tired. So, close your left nostril and use your right nostril for breathing.. You will feel refreshed quickly.
Do you suffer from continual headaches? Try out this breathing therapy, the exercise should be practiced at least for one month. Close your right nostril and breathe through your left nostril. Your headaches will be gone.
