Helen1 replied to the topic can running increase stress? in the forum Running Forum 1 day, 7 hours ago
I was about to tell you that no, running decreases stress. But then I was googling some research so I can link ot it and it turns out that ya, for some people, it can make things worse. If you’re already practicing good stress control, it will probably be helpful to you. But if you’re already high anxiety, running can raise your cortisol le…[Read more]

In my opinion, Trimthin x700 is the better one for workout energy.

Exactly, @kittykatt
With the farmers themselves as a resource and googling to support what they say, you’ll be able to learn a ton.

I think you need the same amount. Exercise is the most important thing for maintenance, so I wouldn’t skimp on it.

Helen1 replied to the topic Fall Squash – probably a weird question in the forum Health Forums 1 month ago
They’re not all the same. It’s really best to ask the farmer selling it for directions because even subtle differences can mean that if you tweak the way you prepare them it will be better. Like a carnival squash seems just like an acorn squash, but it’s sweeter, so you can tweak your recipe with that in mind so you’re not over-sweetening your d…[Read more]

This is going to be harder than I thought. I feel like there is no real guidance out there that we can use. It’s just up to us to keep failing until we don’t anymore.

Thanks! I think I’ll get some at my bulk store and use it daily for a bit and see if I notice anything. Should be interesting.

OK, so research shows diets don’t work, according to so many headlines i’ve been reading. But if you go to the doctor to lose weight, the first thing they say is that you have to diet. Also, research shows that what you eat plays the largest role in how much weight you’ll lose. So what do we do? What’s the best way to change your eating whe…[Read more]

Helen1 started the topic are vitamin d supplements working for me? in the forum Supplements Reviews 2 months, 1 week ago
Are vitamin d supplements actually doing anything for me? Do they work? I can’t figure out what the reports mean online. Some say you should absolutely take the supplements, my doctor says to take them, other reports say it doesn’t do anything at all. What should I believe?

Why is matcha healthy? Isn’t it just powdered green tea instead of chopped up?

Helen1 started the topic best fitness tracking app in the forum Gear Reviews 3 months ago
I’m looking for an app with some great fitness tracking. I track my general exercise here but I’m looking for detail to go with my fitbit. I don’t like the fitbit app, but I know the devices will sync with other apps. Any recommendations?

Helen1 replied to the topic Does losing weight always make you healthier? in the forum Health Forums 3 months, 1 week ago
I don’t think there’s anything you can do to automatically consider yourslef healthier. I think it’s a great step toward improved health and a component of a healthier lifestyle but it doesn’t mean that if your weight changes you can automatically know that there is something specific that will be better about your health. You can probably sa…[Read more]

Helen1 replied to the topic GABA supplements in the forum Supplements Reviews 3 months, 2 weeks ago
I have a neighbor who uses it, too. I googled it and didn’t like the risks linked with it. It’s not for everyone and there are a lot of possible side effects. Definitely a “talk to your doctor first” supplement. I think it works if your natural levels are low, but if that’s not the case, you shouldn’t monkey with it.

Thank you. I know you’re both right. It’s just so frustrating. I wish there was something else. I’m really down about this.

I guess there are some that are cooler. I have one that is like wearing plastic wrap until you’re in the water. IT’s great in the water but I feel like i”m going to bake until then. If anything is going to give me a rash, it’s the heat from the rash guard until I’m in the water!

Helen1 started the topic Weight not coming off where I need it in the forum Weight Loss and Exercise 4 months, 1 week ago
I’ve lost a lot of weight and have toned a lot too. I’m feeling great about my progress except that my legs and butt still have so much flab. Why do I keep losing and losing in areas that don’t need it anymore but I don’t keep losing where i do need it? I’m so frustrated. I even met my goal weight but I’m not even close to the shape I want.

A lot of people seem to be in love with those kinds of shoes. They run in them all the time. There are tons of reviews talking about it. It seems to be a thing where you love them or hate them for running.

Maybe check an ophthalmological website until you can talk to your eye doctor. That way you can know you’re avoiding the right things but not avoiding things you don’t have to.
