Men, exercise and fertility: a follow-up post

Earlier last week I addressed the relationship between women, exercise and their fertility levels, AmyK brought up a great point in the comments of that post Exercise and infertility: how closely are they related? asking about the relationship between men, exercise and their fertility levels. It didn't s

Exercise and infertility: how closely are they related?

Finally scientists have come up with an excuse so that we don't have to go to the gym: hard work outs may lead a woman to be less fertile. Science Daily published results of a November 2009 study from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) showing that a woman's body may not be able to support… Continue

News for the overweight sleep apnea patient

A recent report in Science Daily tells us that, although improving diet and exercise habits are beneficial for obese obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients, it may not be enough. A small Australian study (10 patients) was done to look at improved diet and exercise as a treatment for OSA. Although the 16 week pro… Continue

Exercise: Boost or Suppress Immune System?

Whenever I come down with a minor cold, or soar throat I often wonder whether I should continue my exercise routine. My mom would always tell me "just rest, and get rid of that cold - the gym will only make you more sick!" But how accurate is this statement exactly? Can exercise truly worsen your symptoms, and if you feel under the weather, can exercise push you over the edge? Interestingly enough, I stumbled upon an article… Continue

Staying Fit in NYC: Health In the Big Apple

I hope you enjoyed reading the first entry in my new series “Health In The Big Apple”, where I delved deeper into some of the daily dining routines of NYC-ers. If you haven’t had a chance to read it, I encourage you to check it out – but now let’s jump into my next topic of discussion “Staying Fit in NYC”. When I first moved to NYC, my initial concern was how the heck am I going to stay in… Continue

Weight Loss – What if nothing changes?

I am out there reading other peoples blogs and support forums all the time. I do it for a couple of reasons. I look for the reason that most people fail to do weight loss. I also look for the reasons they use not to stick with whatever program they are working with to loose weight. They fall into many categories and so I thought this might be a good start for a new set of posts. One of the first reasons people fail I would like to address is the information that is presented on so many fronts.… Continue

Weight Loss and Why Your Doctor may never help you

I was talking to one of the doctors on our team last night and asked the question on how it would be best to introduce a weight loss program to a doctor who had not seen it before. What I found may surprise you a bit. I was told that it is close to impossible to get into a doctor’s office these days. That it didn’t even matter if you where a pharmaceutical rep, you would probably not get in unless you knew them personally. She suggested that our doctors are very busy people and they don’t like… Continue

True, simple, brief, beginner Tai Chi for Chronic conditions

Exercise is difficult when you suffer chronic health conditions. Sometimes simply getting out of bed seems like the 'main event' of the day. It's so terribly important for us not to become frail by at least doing simple stretches and movements throughout the day. Our bodies are very frugal and will not keep muscles and bone and tendons it does not need. From my perspective, chronic Migraine makes it especially difficult to exercise, and the joint pain of Lupus and spasms of Dystonia are an addi… Continue

Obesity and Weight Loss Rant

I normally try and keep my posts to a positive thread but today I am positive I am fed up with public policy decision makers (no one agency in particular) trying to come up with why we can’t fix the obesity problem covering much of the industrialized world. An article that I ran across today said that it was the fault of location, lack of places to exercise, lack of good grocery stores and income level. That if you where a minority and lived in the slums you where doomed to be higher in the per… Continue

$80 for shoes? Nah, I think I'll start running barefoot!

A Facebook friend shared a really interesting article about running shoes that I couldn't not share with ya'll here. I was blown away by what I was reading, and as a former long-distance runner (we'll be able to cross off "former" in a few months, I am hoping!) I am floored to learn that I should just find some grass, toughen up my feet and take off running.… Continue

Benefits of continual physical activity

This blog post titled Exercise Only Good If Done caught my eye today. It's on the blog of a plastic surgeon. The doctor always tells her patients that exercise will help maintain the results of their surgery, but this post was more long term health orientated than appearance orientated. According to Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association, blood vessel function improved with exercise,… Continue

Why Restrictive and Unbalanced Diets Don't Work!

“There is no quick-fix for fat loss, optimal health, and longevity. If there were, I would have figured it out by now! But, the good news is that there is a way, and MY DIVA DIET can help you down that path.” We are not interested in attacking any particular product o… Continue

Musing on Unhealthy Trends Among My Peers

It’s scary to think that 18-29 year olds are less healthy now than they were a decade ago. Despite all the information discovered in the past 10-15 years, their health is actually getting worse over time. This article alludes to the fact that, though younger teens may be healthier now than ever, once they leave home for college, they are making a lot of significantly unhealthy decisions. We’ve all heard of the… Continue

Hit the ground running

In a brief fit of insanity, I started working out again. Last week I ran for a little bit. I walked for a little bit. I stretched for a while, too. I did the same again today. I'm finally feeling sore from all the workouts and I know I'm going to sleep well tonight. I reserved t… Continue

The Habitual Gym Quitter

After reading wholemom's post "What motivates you to exercise" in the new Fit Group, I began to think more about the importance of exercise in my personal life. I have to be honest and say that I have always been somewhat of an inconsistent, or "fad" exerciser my entire life. Recently I've started to ask myself, am I always going to… Continue

Your Body Mass Index - Another Way To Aid Fat Loss

When was the last time you gave yourself an awareness check about your primary intellectual body fat measurement tools? In other words, boost your weight loss endeavors with helpful knowledge and familiarity with your body composition, your body fat percentage, and your body mass index. What comprises your BMI and how do you figure it out? Your "BMI" means your Body Mass Index, which is your body weight in kilograms divided by your height in meters squared. That's the technical definition. Your… Continue

Aerobic exercise and Migraine: an update

According to a new study in the June 2008 journal Headache, regular exercise may help with the intensity of a migraine, but not the frequency or duration of the attacks. Exercise has been touted as helpful in almost all the literature available to physicians and patients, but this study suggests that it might not all be as it once was thought. 8 older case reports that investigated exercise and endurance sports i… Continue

Burning Fat While Resting?

Most of your fat burning action occurs during a time when you’re NOT engaged in physical activity. FACT or FALLACY? [Answer = FACT.] Here’s why: If you are one who finds that losing weight is far less a "physical" endeavor than it is an "emotional" or "mental" or "motivational" one, from now on you may benefit from an increase in weight loss "savvy." The cliché that "an educated consumer is the best one" not only applies to market behavior. It accurately applies to weight loss success, as wel… Continue
