Whatever you want to pin it on, there’s a troubling fact about us modern humans: We’re stressed more than ever. According to a 2017 evaluation of federal #health data, more #Americans than ever before are #stressed, #depressed, and #anxietyridden, and many are unable to get the #help they need.⠀ ⠀ This, of course, leads to lots of bad stuff. Common effects of stress include #headaches, #muscletension, #loweredsexdrive, #insomnia, #irritability, #sadness, lack of #motivation, #socialwithdrawal, #overeating, and #drug and #alcohol abuse. As if that’s not terrible enough, chronic stress also increases your chances of having a heart attack or stroke, and many researchers believe it makes the brain more susceptible to health problems like #dementia and #Alzheimer’s. Other studies show that it flat-out ages you faster and kills you sooner.⠀ ⠀ The bottom line: If you’re constantly freaking out about things, you’re not going to look or feel very good. ⠀ ⠀ All the reasons to get up and #move. https://www.instagram.com/p/BxDIae3H8oC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3s6nnwkb5b0g

#Marijuana use alone doesn't make you eat yourself up a waist size. In fact, according to new research from #MichiganStateUniversity, people who smoke #cannabis weigh less compared to those who don't.⠀ ⠀ It wasn't much, but when researchers looked at the body mass indexes of 33,000 participants, they found that pot smokers weighed an average of two pounds less than non-users. The #research, which was based on data from the National Epidemiologic Survey of Alcohol and Related Conditions, also showed that cannabis users gained less weight than non-users in the long term. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwu05mOnFI1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jtf4n539wg6q

The #myth that dietary fat is actually evil has been debunked, green fruit is an essential part of whole foods-based #diets, including the #Mediterranean diet and #keto diet, in part because #healthyfats help keep you #fuller longer.⠀ ⠀ #Avocados are one of the most complete foods you can eat but, even though avocados are packed with #nutrients, they do have more calories than most other #fruits and #vegetables. By the numbers, one serving is equal to about a third of an avocado and contains around 76 #calories. If you consume half an avocado, you're looking at about 114 calories, and if you go for a full avocado, roughly 227 calories.⠀ ⠀ Even though avocados are more calorie-dense than other fresh produce, and being mindful about avocado portions is important.⠀ ⠀ Eating more calories than your body needs is what causes #weightgain, regardless of the foods those calories come from. https://www.instagram.com/p/BwigMyDniM7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1bc59997oc1yx

#Avocados subject to #recall include bulk shipments from late January 2019 (when #HenryAvocado says it started packing at this California facility) onward, and the shipments were distributed to six states: Arizona, California, Florida, New Hampshire, North Carolina, and Wisconsin. ⠀ ⠀ Avocados imported from Mexico and distributed by Henry Avocado are not being recalled, and "Henry Avocado is contacting all affected customers to confirm that the recalled products are immediately removed from store shelves," the statement reads. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvhg7B6nHUz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=mqibafv4wguy

#Running is great #cardio for burning #calories, #toning your lower body but like most things, there are many ways you can incorporate it into your workout. You could map out a five-mile scenic run through your town. Or, if a HIIT #treadmill session at the gym is more your thing, there's that too.⠀ ⠀ If you're a hardcore runner, you might be familiar with the term "#pronation." This simply refers to the way your #foot moves when it hits the ground during a walk or a run. For pronation to be considered "normal," after a heel strike, the ankle rolls slightly inward and the foot comes down flat. If you #overpronate, your foot rolls too far inward and downward, so you have to rely heavily on pushing off of your #bigtoe. This is common in people who have flat feet, but even those who aren't flat-footed can #overpronate. If you have this problem when you run, you can suffer from #shinsplints, #heelpain, #plantarfasciitis and even #lowerbackpain. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu2J6uPHjLs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=n5iyjja3uh60

#Ben&Jerry's now offers a total of 11 #nondairy #pints, and the newest #flavors are #ChocolateChipCookieDough and #ChocolateCaramelCluster.⠀ ⠀ know that while these pints are dairy-free, they're definitely not low in #calories lol. https://www.instagram.com/p/BuzStL7nwwo/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1t6lne8chqjgf

Incorporating #collagen into your diet has become an increasingly popular part of #wellness routines, and now the trend has collided with bottled water. #VitalProteins just launched its first ready-to-drink beverage, and each 12-ounce bottle packs a collagen punch... ⠀ ⠀ 10 grams, to be exact. The Collagen Water ($4.50 each) comes in five refreshing flavors: Original (a "citrus twist on a neutral taste"), Strawberry Lemon, Blackberry Hibiscus, Lemon Ginger, and Blueberry Mint, each with 60 or fewer calories. ⠀ ⠀ The #water is #dairy- and #glutenfree, has three or fewer grams of sugar, and is made without artificial colors or sweeteners (shout-out to monk fruit extract for a touch of natural sweetness).⠀ ⠀ You might already be familiar with the popular Vital Proteins #collagenpeptides, which some of our editors add to #smoothies, water, and #coffee. Collagen has many of the same benefits as protein powder but without the same taste that some people find overbearing. In addition, the protein-packed substance can help support healthy hair, #nails, #bones, and #joints. Drinking it in bottled-water form eliminates an extra step of scooping and stirring. https://www.instagram.com/p/Buuxzl7H6su/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=u623mhnp9ufi

You might feel inclined to shun #fats in an effort to #loseweight but public opinion has shifted in recent years, and "good" fats are not only considered an important part of any meal, but also key to shedding pounds. As long as you don't overdo it, anyway.⠀ ⠀ The #InstituteofMedicine recommends getting 20 to 35 percent of your daily #calories from fat. #Healthyfats include #polyunsaturated and #monounsaturated #fattyacids like those found in fish, nuts, seeds, avocado, and olive oil.⠀ ⠀ "Fat is #digested more slowly than other nutrients and makes your #food more filling and satisfying, which makes it easier to stick to your weight loss diet," Christy said. "#Research suggests that people have trouble staying on low-fat #diets for long because they get too hungry. This explains why the Mediterranean diet is so satisfying it includes healthy fats." https://www.instagram.com/p/BuT55brH5aI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1m593z2f4girx

NY is cracking down on CBD oil...⠀ ⠀ "CBD simply getting “out of control.” “The distribution and use of CBD oil has really gotten way ahead of the research and regulation. It’s just becoming ubiquitous,” Robotti says (Member of NY health Dep). ⠀ “When your local bakery is putting it in the chocolate icing and your local chain of Gregorys Coffee is putting it in their coffee, it’s becoming very common. And people already do see it as a benign substance, a mild herbal remedy. You really cannot assume that herbal remedies are benign. They’re medicines, and they have power just like chemical medicines do.” https://www.instagram.com/p/BuJ45efH0wV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=z1pchfinrorv

You'd be surprised at how much you can tell about a person from the #mug they choose. ⠀ ⠀ Those who choose wide-rimmed mugs are usually #Aquariuses. Those who seek tall, angular mugs are confident in their professional lives, but vulnerable in their personal ones. Those who reach for the fancy-schmancy mugs think very highly of themselves as they should, because self-love lol these are strange facts...
