Like fine wine, aging done right is the key.
Eight months after Reebok agreed to pay $25 million to customers who bought toning shoes that don’t actually tighten butts, Skechers has pulled out its checkbook. The Los Angeles Times reports that the company has agreed to pay $40 million to hopeful consumers who bought rocker-bottom shoes in the hope of having a booty like [...]
I would note that I often joked with other volunteers that I often came to the shelter to get a break from my two crazy dogs at home. Because although there were lots of them and a lot of yellow dogs specifically at the shelter, there was the advantage that, after I worked with [...]
It turns out that the difference between being fat and not being fat is not just about what you eat, it’s about when you eat, as in how often you eat. The Salk Institute for Biological Science reports that researchers there have learned that mice limited to eating during an 8-hour period are healthier than [...]
So having talked fairly generally about what was going on at the Austin Humane Shelter during 2012 (with some comments about my involvement), I want to switch gears into self-indulgent prattling mode and talk about how it was (or wasn’t) affecting me personally. Some of this will detail my time at the shelter, some of [...]
If you’re not born stupid, you’re not out of the woods. You can always become stupid, and researchers at UCLA are now suggesting that high-fructose sweeteners can help. PsychCentral reports that scientists at the school put high-fructose corn syrup, which is commonly added to processed foods from soft drinks to baby food, in the water [...]
What doesn’t break your bones makes them stronger. Especially if what doesn’t break your bones is a load-bearing sport like basketball or volleyball. How to we know?

In the video bellow, New York Times’ Phys Ed columnist Gretchen Reynolds talks with Martin Gibala, chair of the kinesiology department at McMaster University, who has good news for time-strapped people who don’t want to be health strapped: 20 minutes a day three times a week will do it, if that 20 minutes is spent [...]
The good news is, you don’t need the weight, of your weights, that is. Researchers at McMaster University have learned that doing more repetitions with less weight builds muscle and increases strength just as effectively as training with heavy weights. HealthDay reports on the study, which looked at how different combinations of weight and repetitions [...]
So last time in Volunteeering at the Austin Humane Shelter: Part 6, I talked about my move up to blue BRATT and the start of the year’s craziness which was that Bastrop Hoarding Event. And while that one event would have been enough to exhaust anyone, it was just the start of the absolute craziness [...]
