there is much to share today.
Eat more chocolate and drink more red wine. A one minute
intense workout is better than a 30 minute one. Walking is easy, free and
boosts many health benefits. Spanking
children is not a good idea.
Foods such as fruits, vegetables, yogurt and chocolate, and
beverages like coffee and red wine increase the diversity of bacteria in the
gut. Gut or intestine diversity can ward
off illness, as found by a team of Dutch researchers. On the other side, simple carbs seems to
reduce the bacterial diversity in the intestines. This includes high fat milk
and sugar-sweetened soda. Gut bacteria
plays a vital role in the overall good health of the intestines and the rest of
the body.
A study from the respected Plos One journal found that high
intensity interval training (HIIT) works just as well as, and is better for us,
than an hour long interval training class. This form of abbreviated high
intensity working out entails a short burst of activity. For example: people
who walk for exercise can add a short, intense burst of jogging or walking
briskly, into the routine, and then go back to the regular pace. The short
burst of intensity in the workout burns more calories, builds stamina, and
require no more equipment. Give it a try. Add one minute of high intensity
activity to a daily workout.
Most adults remember childhood days when their parents would
spank them when they were naughty. This was thought to be the most effective
way to curb bad behavior. Today, however, a new report that Health Briefs TV
read, notes that spanking children can lead to aggressive behavior and defiance
when older. The study was conducted over
five decades and with more than 160,000 people.
Health Briefs TV suggests trying other ways of thwarting naughty
behavior. Why not consider taking privileges
away instead? Ban the use of mobile devices for a day. Forbid the child from
watching TV or send the child to their room for an hour, and other
non-aggressive methods of punishment work well as behavior modifiers.
