A busy and informative week in health and wellness. Check out these articles to get your fill:
1. How long can it stay fresh?-A woman from Alaska has been keeping a McDonald's Happy Meal for the last six years to prove a big point. The food from that meal has not spoiled or rotted since (not that you'd really want to eat it). This goes to show the dangers that this type of processed food can have on our bodies. If you weren't already trying to cut down on fast food intake, this might be a big wake up call.
2. Less stomping-New research is showing that you can prevent additional running injuries by focusing on a soft landing with each stride. Lighten your step and you might improve your running technique!
3. The effect of sugar-This article discusses the difference between refined sugar and sugar from whole foods. Very important to understand that the source of sugar can make a difference.
4. Mindlessly Slim-Those mindlessly slim people might just have the ticket to encourage more mindful eating behaviors, like listening to body cues, in an effort to lose weight.
