20 minutes or 1 Hour, Which is it?!

Studies in the past have suggested that women should work out 20 minutes everyday. A study published in the March edition of the Journal of Physiology found that short periods of high-interval training was just as effective as long durations of endurance training, based on the results from seven young, healthy men. But soon after came another study, this one suggesting that women should work out an hour every day just to maintain their weight. Great so not only do men lose weight faster they don't have to work out as much too! Ugh! Well doesn't that just figure!

Exercise experts say the most important message is to be active, regardless of the latest studies. But experts, accordign to CNN.com recommend that an average person stick to existing public health guidlines, which recommend that children and teenagers exercise one hour every day and adults get a weekly minimum of two hours and 30 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity (such as brisk walking, dancing, gardening) or one hour and 15 minutes of vigorous activity (jogging, aerobic dancing and jumping rope).

We all know the rule, calories in have to equal OR be less the calories out. You need to burn more than you consume if you want to lose weight. But how much do we do in order to maintain that perfect balance? Everyone has a busy life and sometimes we can't get to the gym for an hour every single day. 

I suggest continuing your daily exercise routine whatever that may be.

Sleeping: Love Hate Relationship? Try AloeRest

A new Harvard women's study revealed some very interesting effects for not sleeping. I am pretty sure that this applies to men too. 

The Harvard Women’s Health Watch suggests six reasons to get enough sleep:

1. Learning and memory: Sleep helps the brain commit new information to memory through a process called memory consolidation. In studies, people who’d slept after learning a task did better on tests later.

2. Metabolism and weight: Chronic sleep deprivation may cause weight gain by affecting the way our bodies process and store carbohydrates, and by altering levels of hormones that affect our appetite. 

3. Safety: Sleep debt contributes to a greater tendency to fall asleep during the daytime. These lapses may cause falls and mistakes such as medical errors, air traffic mishaps, and road accidents.

4. Mood: Sleep loss may result in irritability, impatience, inability to concentrate, and moodiness. Too little sleep can also leave you too tired to do the things you like to do.

5. Cardiovascular health: Serious sleep disorders have been linked to hypertension, increased stress hormone levels, and irregular heartbeat.

6. Disease: Sleep deprivation alters immune function, including the activity of the body’s killer cells. Keeping up with sleep may also help fight cancer.
