The best easy workout!

                            TRY THIS!
                                                

*The trick: Gulp a Slushie right before exercising on a sweltering day.

How it works: Hot weather means your body has to work harder to move, wearing you out more quickly. But according to new research published in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, participants who drank a Slushie ran for about 10 minutes longer before feeling the crippling effects of heat (burning face, melting body, heavy feet). At 30 degrees, Slushies are colder than regular ice water, and the mix of sugary water and crushed ice lowers your body temperature before you start running, so you can last longer before getting overheated. Very cool.



*The trick: Make a mental list of all the small things you do daily that could count as exercise—like going up stairs, carrying bags of groceries, and walking your dog.

How it works: How’s this for mind power? In a Harvard study, hotel employees were divided into two groups; one was told that cleaning rooms is good exercise, and the other was not given this info. After four weeks, although none of the staffers had changed their routine, the informed group showed decreases in weight, blood pressure, body fat, waist-to-hip ratio, and body mass index...simply because they now thought they were getting exercise.



*The trick: Jog or walk backward.

How it works: Research from Harvard found that you exert more energy when moving in reverse than you do going forward—which means you’re burning extra calories. Head to a track or park far from oncoming traffic, and begin slowly, gradually building speed. It’s trickier on a treadmill, so be prepared to hop off or reach behind to slam the emergency stop button.


*The trick: Down one to two servings of caffeine (whether it’s coffee, tea, soda, or an energy drink) about 90 minutes before your workout.

How it works: Here’s something to buzz about: Caffeine blocks the chemicals in your brain that cause you to feel pooped, which allows you to exercise longer before becoming exhausted, according to a study published in The International Journal of Sports Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism. Now we could get a buzz off of that.


*The trick: Hold the door for a stranger, make a donation to charity, or grab a latte for a coworker during your afternoon coffee run.

How it works: A recent Harvard study found that doing nice things strengthens your willpower and increases physical endurance. That means you’re more likely to resist ordering that cupcake, encourage yourself to hit the gym, and work out harder once there.

Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang

This is probably the funniest book I've read in a long time!

Family moments are fair game, whether it's writing a report on Reaganomics to earn a Cabbage Patch doll, or teaching her father social graces by ordering him to stay indoors. It's open season on her love life, from playing a prank on her boyfriend to adopting a dog so she can snuggle with someone who doesn't talk. And everyone better duck for cover when her beach vacation turns into matchmaking gone wild.

Karma

             You've heard the saying "what goes around comes around" well whatever the saying

we've all had our own experiences which led us to question the belief in karma.

There is no scientific proof that karma does exists but

karma is both simple and complex, with many subtleties that are frequently overlooked. Its
fundamental aspect is its balancing role in nature. It is believed that imbalance exists between
the individual and the world until all karmic consequences are met. Karma can then be seen as
the harmonizer that restores balance.

No matter what you religion there is no harm believing the concept of karma to a certain extent.

At the end of the day if the idea of karma led you to do a good deed what is the harm?

If you are skeptical try it for a few a week or two. Maybe good things will come your way!

Why laughing is the best medicine.

“Your sense of humor is one of the most powerful tools you have to make certain that your daily mood and emotional state support good health.”


- Paul E. McGhee, Ph.D.


Laughter is strong medicine for mind and body

Laughter is a powerful antidote to stress, pain, and conflict. Nothing works faster or more dependably to bring your mind and body back into balance than a good laugh. Humor lightens your burdens, inspires hopes, connects you to others, and keeps you grounded, focused, and alert.


With so much power to heal and renew, the ability to laugh easily and frequently is a tremendous resource for surmounting problems, enhancing your relationships, and supporting both physical and emotional health.

Laughter relaxes the whole body. A good, hearty laugh relieves physical tension and stress, leaving your muscles relaxed for up to 45 minutes after. Laughter relaxes the whole body. A good, hearty laugh relieves physical tension and stress, leaving your muscles relaxed for up to 45 minutes after.


Laughter boosts the immune system. Laughter decreases stress hormones and increases immune cells and infection-fighting antibodies, thus improving your resistance to disease.

Laughter triggers the release of endorphins, the body’s natural feel-good chemicals. Endorphins promote an overall sense of well-being and can even temporarily relieve pain.

Laughter protects the heart. Laughter improves the function of blood vessels and increases blood flow, which can help protect you against a heart attack and other cardiovascular problems.

Laughter and humor help you stay emotionally healthy

Laughter makes you feel good. And the good feeling that you get when you laugh remains with you even after the laughter subsides. Humor helps you keep a positive, optimistic outlook through difficult situations, disappointments, and loss.



More than just a respite from sadness and pain, laughter gives you the courage and strength to find new sources of meaning and hope. Even in the most difficult of times, a laugh–or even simply a smile–can go a long way toward making you feel better. And laughter really is contagious—just hearing laughter primes your brain and readies you to smile and join in on the fun.


So now matter how serious a situation might seem just laugh because in the big picture everything is funny.
