There is no solid evidence that suggests that a raw diet is healthier than a simple diet of mostly fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and meats.

Here is the general guideline: -If you are sick above the neck, you can pretty much do anything. It will just suck more. -If you are sick in the chest, do not run or do extensive cardio. -If you have a systemic sickness, like food poisoning, diarrhea and vomiting, rest completely. Maybe do some light stretching. I disagree…

Anything is better than nothing. Usually, it's better to exercise 30-40 minutes at a time, but if you can't, do what you can. A 15 minute session of yoga may not burn a bunch of calories during those 15 minutes, but it will effect the rest of your day, even if it's just holding your posture a little better. Or try doing 1…

30 lbs is awesome. You should be proud! I second tomteboda: Don't focus on losing those 5lbs. Focus on fitness. Then, your 5lbs will be gone without you even noticing. Pay attention to your small "harmless" habits or areas where you can tweak your diet or exercise just a little (ex: switch to whole wheat products, adding a…
