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 Physical Fitness (Vol. 52(3):255-62), sixty overweight young women were separated in 3 groups. The Turbulence Training group achieved significantly “better results than those in the cardio group.” And they did it in less time and lost 9 times more fat per calorie than the long, slow and boring cardio group!

This actually makes a lot of sense to me, I have often wondered why all those people spend all of their free time in workouts and gyms. Heck, a few I know even go there on their lunch break!

"We would actually be pretty upbeat about aliens"

Well, there is hope for humanity. Hollywood has it wrong. Aliens are not ugly killing machines that are out to destroy the human race,  at least we humans don't think so. Humans would actually react positively to news of alien life -- intelligent or microbial. This is a conclusion that Arizona State University Assistant Professor of Psychology Michael Varnum has come to. What he actually said, at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in held on Feb 16 in Austin, Texas, was ""If we came face to face with life outside of Earth, we would actually be pretty upbeat about it". This according to an article in Science Daily . I like news like this one, gives me more hope for all of humanity. In unpublished results presented at the conference, Varnum analyzed recent media coverage of the possibility that the interstellar Oumuamua asteroid might actually be a spaceship. Here too, he found evidence of more positive than negativ...

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!
