The Best Time To Plant A Tree…:
So we hear a lot about the benefits of exercise & nutrition.
And though people are slowly finding that nutrition is actually the weight-loss king,
Exercise all by itself turns out to be the king of many other things.
But we never really seem to learn about When we should do it.
So for this reason, researchers got together and found out another really interesting thing about its many undiscovered benefits…

David Slays Goliath. -With Superior Nutrition?:
So according to their own press-release, a big change happened back in July. Halo Top became the highest-selling ice cream in the country.
Which is a pretty amazing feat at only 5 years in business for Halo.

1) Metaphysical Exercise:
So for 2,500+ years, athletes, folk-scientists, bro-scientists, and real scientists have extolled the virtues of exercise.
Even Dr. Mike showed that 30 minutes a day helped -Everything-.
But a bizarre subculture of cardio-focused exercisers called “Runners”, have always claimed odd mental benefits along with the physical ones.
Things like Zen/Meditation, a type of Buzz, & greater Clarity of Thought afterward.
So science decided to investigate these old wives’ tales, and may have discovered evidence instead of myth…

Weight-Loss Is Only 140 Million Miles Away:
So science usually has set ideas about the way things work. And every once in awhile, those assumptions will be proved wrong.
Most of the time it happens out of a very weird discovery or coincidence. -And this time is no different.
This diet-revelation started with the “Oh crap, we have to rescue Matt Damon again,”-level idea of actually sending people to Mars.
And on that mission, one of the strangest things the rocket-scientists had to do was manage Water…

A Light At The End Of The Tunnel:
So for a long time now, we’ve all been told a few conflicting things.
1) Fast-carbs are bad for you and make you fat.
2) Eat whole-grains because they’re good for you.

Oh God, This Sounds Like An Infomercial.:
We’ve told you before that Nutrition is king for losing fat or weight.
We’ve also told you that the slow-carb diets are the ones that pay the greatest returns over time, too.
And we’ve also recruited cast-iron triathletes and anorexic movie-stars to help convince you that you cannot out-exercise bad nutrition.
Well, the Danes came up with a neat footer to the one that says you can exercise too much,

Body-Type Guesswork Might Have Been Right:
Apparently, “Thick Thighs Save Lives”, isn’t just the (kinda-NSFW) Instagram-stunner’s favorite cheeky retort. -It’s actually true.
So: Over time people have gone from the days of Titian when fat was rad, because it meant you actually had food, to something less desirable today.
And on that road, people started to describe horoscope-like body-types, such as Apples or Pears, to guess their potential health issues.
New research is showing their ideas were good; especially about men. And it all comes down to what you can see, versus what you can’t…
