Weekend Roundup: Moving Edition
Filed Under Weekend Roundup
My wife and I moved homes this weekend. The new place is even closer to the downtown and the train station which means less car use. It also has a yard where we can grow some vegetables. Plus the move itself was a heck of a workout. Forget the gym, just try moving an entire household in one weekend. Every muscle in my body is sore and we’re not even close to 50% done.
And on that note, here are some articles I thought you might find useful.
From the UK’s Telegraph newspaper comes this article showing that women who eat a large breakfast tend to lose (and keep off) more weight. That’s something I’ve been preaching for a while, but it’s nice to see some proof. A good breakfast, along with a good night’s sleep and some light activity, is a vital part of starting your day right.

Another interesting study comes to us from PsychCentral. This one discusses the benefit of a healthy social network for overall health. This reminds us of two things. First of all, stress is an important factor for poor health and second, your friends and family have a huge amount of influence on your life. Make sure you have a strong social network of people who will support you. The benefits are amazing.

One more from the Telegraph. This one talks about a vegan diet and yoga being factors in reducing the risk of cancer. Now I’m not advocating that everyone stop eating meat so maybe we can see this as just one more proof that a life filled with good eating and physical activity is a healthy one. Remember, even little improvements matter. So if you can’t go all vegan, perhaps you could just reduce the amount of unhealthy meat in your diet.

And let’s finish this up with an article form our friends at Mark’s Daily Apple. This one talks about how NOT to save money. It’s a pretty simple article but with an important message. Sometimes, what you think of as smart finances, really isn’t. It’s not smart to buy in bulk if you’re buying junk food. Buy something healthier and buy less of it or find a nice cheap source of healthy food. It’s not that hard to do, even in the middle of an urban area.

Yeah eating breakfast is really important. I think for some people you need to build up to it as when you are not used to eating breakfast you just arn’t hungry then. But it keeps you going throughout the morning and you eat far less snacks throughout the day
Gal,
Thanks for the link! Good round-up, that big breakfast study really has me thinking.
Eating breakfast is an important part of your weight management and weight loss plan. Its difficult to lose weight if you dont start your metabolism in the morning.
