I heard the term today "Participatory Medicine"
If 70-80% of the illnesses we might face are related to lifestyle, something only we, as the patient, can do something about, then we are at the center of our own health and wellness. So you can choose to be a spectator and your health will pass you by or you can choose to be a participant and get outside more, eat higher quality food, move more and practice mindfulness.

As we head into the holiday season, weight gain is on many people's mind.


Being too restrictive on what we eat does not guarantee success. Adding exercise to burn a few more calories and eating nutrient dense/caloric light foods is a better way of controlling weight.

Around the holiday season, making smart decisions and cutting out a few calories in the foods we typically enjoy can go along way. With this in mind, https://www.eatthis.com/eating-habits-drop-a-pound-a-day/ provides a variety of good ways to cut 100-200 calories off food we typically like to enjoy.

You can save thousands of calories a week, and practically drop a pound a day, by simply making these easy swaps in your diet!

The use of dry infrared heat immediately after maximal endurance activities showed a benefit to recovery.

While studies were small they demonstrated improved endurance and performance. In Scoon, et al, "Effect of post-exercise sauna bathing on the endurance performance of competitive male runners", demonstrated improvement in endurance in runners on a treadmill test. Heat therapy appears to improve jump height, power, and endurance. Heat therapy may offer performance benefits with a low risk of detrimental effects.
