Rest, relax, play. Get rid of the stress!

I know it is a bit "late in the game" for a reference to the new year, but hey; I am a slow starter. So here we go:

Start the year right by focusing on yourself. Reserve time for reviving a favorite hobby or learning a new one. Hobbies unleash your creativity and relieve your stress. Your hobby might even bring you extra cash if you're really good at it. You can check out online resources for money-making ideas or home-based businesses. Not that many of those are stress relieving, believe me I know, but it might give you something else to think about than the thing that REALLY gives you the stress.

One thing that really can stress people up is money. Set this month for a budget review. If you've been living from payday to payday, start saving now. Put aside a small amount a day and save them each month. Better yet, apply a banking service that automatically transfers money from your salary account to your savings account.

Scott Sonnon’s revolutionary new work Primal Stress clearly and comprehensively explains the impact of stress on the body, and how not only to offset but to optimize it in order to build the best possible life that you can. If you suffer any symptoms due to excessive stress from your job or your lifestyle (and who doesn’t?) you should have a look this book.

Coffee can reduce your risk of early death

Yes, one minute you die from it the next is it healthy. We all know how this goes, it all depend on who do the study, and why, it seem. However, a new study made by European Society of Cardiology and involving close to 20,000 individuals, and published late last year, people who consumed at least four cups of coffee daily had a 64% lower risk of early death compared to those never or rarely consumed coffee. Coffee has also been shown to reduce the risk of many diseases, including type 2 diabetes, liver disease, colorectal cancer, Alzheimer's and skin cancer, too. Coffee is loaded with antioxidants, many are naturally occurring antioxidants found in the coffee bean, while others are created during the roasting process. It's these compounds that science links with positive effects in reducing the risk of several diseases. So, there we go. Think it's time for a good cup of Java!

Turbulence Training - Ever heard of it?

There is a new thing causing a bit of a stir among us health freaks called Turbulence Training , that claim all those old boring so called experts and doctors are dead wrong. You should NOT do hours and hours of running, pedaling and stepping... or whatever you're told by them to do. Recently, several new studies have revealed that long, slow and boring cardio workouts actually SABOTAGE your natural ability to burn ugly belly fat. Instead you should do it all relatively fast and in one go... Sounds like a good business plan to me, 80% of your results come from 20% of your efforts - so why do endless amounts of cardio and redundant strength training exercises? In fact, research shows that all those different treadmills, elliptical machines and stairmasters can actually train your body to STORE fat instead of burning it. Other studies again show that cardio not only makes you fatter, it also ages you faster. In a study published in the Journal of Sports Medicine and Physica...

Coffee may come with a cancer warning label in California!

Well... We all know strange things happen. All the time and all over the world. Here is one example: A preliminary decision from a California superior court judge in Los Angeles could affect thousands of coffee shops including Starbucks, 7-Eleven and even your local gas station. In the future the shops may have to put up a warning that tells customers there is a possible cancer risk linked to their morning cup of java. At the same time, anyone that is 21 and older can buy and consume marijuana when you're in California, regardless of whether you're a resident of the state or just visiting. It’s called “recreational” marijuana, to distinguish it from “medical” marijuana, which requires a doctor’s recommendation. Ok, we all know both coffee and marijuana is good for you. As long as you don't overdo the usage of the stuff, but that goes for about everything you consume, from bananas to cheese. The health benefits of coffee I wrote about back in february , have a look a...
