Weekend Roundup - Lift With Your Legs Edition
I was helping my mom clean our her storage shed yesterday and, while I’m usually careful in how I lift things, I managed to really twist my back out of shape. Note to self, never try to lift a five drawer file cabinet in a confined space using only my back. It just doesn’t work. Anyway, a bit of rest should do me good.
And with that, here are some articles for this week’s roundup:
From the personal finance blog Wise Bread, we have this article about which produce is best bought organic. Personally, I try to buy everything organic but I can see why this would be useful since sometimes you have limited resources and need to make a choice.

Speaking of organic, here’s an article from the IF Life about meat, and why your doctor’s warnings can sometimes be wrong. I heartily agree with this. Meat, in and of itself, is not the problem. It’s the overly processed, too many chemicals meat we normally eat that’s the problem. Yes, we do eat a bit too much meat in general, but if we switched this meat to a healthier variety, a lot of the harmful health risks associated with meat would go away.

And if we’re talking about good vs. bad food. Here’s a meal suggestion from the Nutrition Research Center. I have to say, Pumpkin Hummus sounds a bit odd but hey, I’m willing to try it. I’ll let you know how it turns out.

From Trying Fitness, we have this great article about ergonomic exercises to try when you need to relieve the strees of work. I’m a big supporter of this and I think we all should take a 5 minute stretch break every hour or two.
