Excessive Exercise Can Damage Heart
You have probably said to yourself at sometime in the past, “If only I had the time and motivation to exercise for hours every day, my health issues and concerns would disappear – right?”
Wrong, according to a recent excessive exercise effects study conducted by researchers at Kansas City, Missouri’s St. Luke’s Hospital. In fact, cardiologist Dr. James O’Keefe and other researchers behind the study say that extreme forms of cardiovascular exercise can be detrimental to heart health, particularly in certain individuals.
The results of the study serve as unfortunate news for individuals who routinely participate in extreme endurance types sports such as triathlons, marathons and long-distance swimming and cycling races, to name a few.
However, it’s also good news for individuals who only have a moderate amount of time to devote to exercise, and whose primary goal is to improve health and fitness rather than train for competition. In fact, Dr. O’Keefe said that the vast majority of exercise benefits can be realized with less than an hour of exercise each day. “Extreme exercise is not really conducive to great cardiovascular health,” according to Dr. O’Keefe.

According to lead aspirin and cancer prevention researcher and epidemiologist Sigrún Jóhannesdóttir of Aarhus University Hospital, the study’s findings shouldn’t be taken as a reason to start using NSAIDs only for skin cancer prevention because they come with possible side effects of their own, including the possibility of internal bleeding and ulcers.

Study: Virtual Partners Boost Exercise Motivation
Regularly exercising with a high level of consistency can be fairly challenging as many of us are caught in a busy and hectic lifestyle that leaves little time for ourselves.
In addition, throw on top of the time constraints, a lack of a reliable workout partner to assist in motivating you, ensure that you remain consistent, and challenge you with new exercise types and approaches and it is easy to see why so many people do not regularly exercise.
Most individuals agree that exercise is more fun when you do it with a workout partner. However, as previously mentioned, it can sometimes be difficult to find a partner whose workout schedule, health and fitness goals, and current level of fitness reasonably match your own.
Fortunately, researchers at Michigan State University have discovered that the primary benefit of exercising with a real partner – motivation – can be just as present when exercising with a virtual workout partner.

Scheduled Eating Prevents Weight Gain
Conventional dietary wisdom says that weight gain is primarily caused by consuming more calories than your body burns on that given day. While that’s certainly true, it’s also caused by adhering to an unusual eating schedule, according to a recently published study involving mice. Now, scientist believe they have found evidence that an eating schedule to lose weight is a good part of a healthy diet plan.
During the study, the mice that received a high-fat diet and were allowed to eat around the clock gained weight, as expected.
However, a second group of mice that was fed the exact same diet but restricted to an eight-hour eating schedule did not gain as much weight, despite eating the same number of calories overall as the mice in the first group.
According to the researchers, the results of the study lend credence to the notion that it’s not just what types of food you consume, but also when you eat them as well that will ultimately determine whether you lose weight or gain weigh.

One-Quarter of U.S. Teens are Diabetic or Pre-diabetic
Most of us are aware that living a healthy lifestyle that is filled with regular and consistent physical activity, a high quality nutritional diet that includes routinely consuming whole foods that are high in vitamins and minerals, and ensuring that we receive an adequate amount of rest, relaxation, and sleep are imperative to good health and mental wellness.
However, it is becoming more and more evident that this type of lifestyle needs to be incorporated at a much younger age than most people thought as many of the medical conditions and diseases that appeared to be reserved for the elderly are no longer the case. This being said, cases of cancer, diabetes, a variety of allergies, obesity, high blood pressure, and heart disease, just to name a few, are all occurring at younger and younger ages across the United States.
For instance, diabetes in teens is becoming an increasingly severe problem for America, according to a recent study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Approximately 9% of teens between the ages of 12 and 19 were diagnosed with diabetes or pre-diabetes in 1999. That figure rose to a staggering 23% by 2008, according to the researchers behind the study.
