Like fine wine, aging done right is the key.
I’m going to start a fun little Q&A series around here called “Dear Mike”, sort of like “Dear Abby” except all things IF/2 Meal related (sadly no relationship advice, as I may tell you to intermittent fast from your significant other…wait, that may be a best selling book idea!).
Today is a pretty common one. I [...]
Feeling entitled? Want to exploit other people? Sometimes life isn’t fair: just when everything seems perfect, scientists are claiming that there’s a downside to narcissism. Researchers at the University of Michigan and the University of Virginia examined the role of narcissism,– you know, an inflated sense of self-importance, overestimations of uniqueness, and a sense of [...]
Gaia Herbs sells two kinds of herbal mixes alleged to boost sex drive. You guessed it: Women’s Libido and Male Libido. As Chris Woolston writes in the Los Angeles Times, Women’s Libido includes maca, damiana, blue vervain and the provocatively named horny goat weed. Male Libido has some of the same ingredients — including horny [...]
Many readers have seen reports of research at Baylor College of Medicine showing that sex is safe for most people with heart disease. Excellent, but how do you know if you’re one of the “most people”? The researchers suggest that you walk up two flights of stairs. If you’re not gasping for breath or having [...]

Researchers at Stony Brook University put 33 men and women, all experienced texters, through a simple test to see how much texting would influence walking.

OK, the experiment was with mice, not humans, but scientists believe it works for us too. A University of Illinois news release reports that researchers at the school’s [...]
It works for older folks, and it might work for everyone. Researchers at Union College have learned that people who exercise with virtual-reality enhanced equipment like cybercycles show significant improvement in cognitive function, as well as the physical improvements one might expect from such exercise. A Union College news release reports that the researchers monitored [...]
So I was making my way around the internet (as I do on occasion), when I came across a discussion on skipping breakfast…and you know how much I like to jump into those!
