The New iPod Nano May Be The Ultimate Fitness Gadget
What made the biggest impression on me from Apple’s “Let’s Talk iPhone” event ironically wasn’t the iPhone at all (I was actually underwhelmed), but rather the next-gen, buffed-up, iPod Nano. From a fitness POV, this thing is damn near perfect. It’s functional. The Nano sports an accelerometer-the sensor that allows the Nano to act as a pedometer. The built-in fitness app tracks the # of steps, calories burned, pace, and duration of your runs/workouts. It can also talk to...

Each Hour of TV You Watch Shortens Your Life By…
22 minutes! Researchers in Australia recently conducted a study on 11,000 adults to get to the bottom of just how horrible TV-watching really is for your health.

What is the Paleo Diet!? [Infographic]
Over the past year or so there’s been a ton of activity in the nutrition blogosphere, mainstream news, and variety of other publications hyping up the benefits of what’s known as the Paleolithic a.k.a. “Paleo” diet. Honestly, it feels like some sort of nutrition cult…the amount of people who adamantly promote and swear by “paleo” is mind-blowing. Essentially the “Paleo” diet aims to replicate the diet of ancient hunters & gatherers, (i.e. cavemen and everyone else who lived in the...
