Weekend Roundup - Back Home Edition
Filed Under Weekend Roundup
After spending 4 days out of the last two months at home, it’s nice to be writing this from my dining room table. My wife seems to be happy I’m home too, and is currently wondering why I’m working on the computer rather than spending time with her. So without further ado, here are some quick links for this week.
Via Newswise, we have this research study about walking carried out by the University of Michigan. It’s not a very fancy study, but it does show some of the simple benefits of walking. I can’t emphasize enough how important a simple 30 minute walk per day is. It doesn’t sound like much but it’s one of the most important changes you can make in your life.

From the Indystar we have this article with some general tips about how to get fit and healthy. I like the content here very much. It’s not specific tips on what to eat or what exercises to do, it’s more general than that and includes useful information on motivation and overall planning. Too many people worry too much about the little stuff and never pay attention to big stuff like this.

From the Herald is an article that I found very interesting. It discusses the eating habits of new immigrants to western societies and how their health has worsened since they came to their new homes. There’s a number of lessons to be learned here, but I think the most important one is how a diet that used to be healthy, has suddenly become unhealthy. Why is that? Well, because food is much more available in western societies as is meat. So these immigrants are eating a lot more of what they used to and they’re eating more of the meat and other dishes they used to consider rare delicacies. Keep this in mind.

And from NewsOK (Funny how the most interesting health news comes from these little publications. Seems like the big newspapers are too busy trying to scare us with their news to really print useful stuff) we have this article full of interesting ideas on how to keep that new year’s resolution. Essentially, the article says that most people stop working out soon after the new years because they’re bored and unmotivated, something I agree with. Motivation is one of the most important factors in health and one which many people ignore.
