Vinegar

Young Consumers Lead Surge In Specialty Foods Purchases

I’ve always been a fan of vinegar. I like the taste and as you may or may not know I wash my hair with baking soda and sometimes add cider vinegar. My sister is convinced that when you’re getting sick if you drink a teaspoon of cider vinegar you can ward off whatever is about to ail you. I’d buy that medicine.

Now researchers in Japan have concluded that 3 teaspoons a day of vinegar can help reduce body fat accumulation and reduce body weight. It’s like the miracle drink. It’s not going to hurt you, so why not ditch the creamy dressings and go with a little EVOO and a good vinegar.

Love Your Body

Think of something you absolutely love about your body. Now think of something you absolutely love about the person you are. Feel pride in both all day long.

Exercise for your Brain

If you needed another reason to convince you to exercise, now it seems absolutely clear that physical exercise improves brain function. It’s good for your body and your brain, especially if you get your heart rate up.

Listen to the whole story (physical exercise for the brain is just part of it) on NPR’s Fresh Air or click this link to get a recap (where you can view a transcript of the whole show or listen to it).

Remember Joe

Now and again I find myself looking up pictures of Joe Pilates. I’m not sure why I do it. I think because I’m so impressed by him. I feel like if I stare at him a little I’ll learn more about him or the exercises. More than likely, I’ll probably just go crazy. But I love to look at him. He fascinates me. So I thought you might like flipping through some pictures too. This link will take you to google images on Joe Pilates.

Pilates Calories

Here is the recent claim on calories burned during a Pilates workout:

5.7 per minute for a 125-pound woman which is about 342 per hour.

Of course, Pilates isn’t about burning calories, but getting stronger from the inside out. Still, it’s good to know that stats.
