DNA changes with exercise?!?
Really cool article. Very science geek beyond the earliest part, but fascinating all the same! http://www.nature.com/news/a-trip-to-the-gym-alters-dna-1.10176 Apparently, exercise changes the genes that help control metabolism in our body! Caffeine can induce the same effect. Just another reason to hit the gym! And…

"Lifting" with a bum wrist?
I put lifting in quotes because I'm thinking more of using machines than free weights. I have really bad tendonitis in my dominant wrist. It's really hard to grip anything while it's flaring (and due to a klutzy incident Saturday, it's flaring). So I was wondering what people thought about which upper body exercises would…

Food Allergies
Any one else suffer an allergy to a food they love? I just found out I'm horribly allergic to yeast, but I adore the foods it's used in. How did you beat that? I can't even eat something that contains less than 2% of yeast extract. It sucks! Do you know how many foods out there have un-needed yeast in them? It's almost as…

Hypothyroidism and Weight Loss
So many people say "I can't lose weight, I have a thyroid problem." You know what? This is complete and utter baloney. Many people with a thyroid problem have managed to successfully lose weight. It's all about understanding the mechanics of weight loss. And being very strict with yourself. In the fall of 2003, I hit 196…

My little NSV!
Seeing several others today, I feel like I want to share mine! Walking into the lab today from my car, I ran into a dilemma that I haven't had in a long time! My pants were falling down and I didn't have a free hand to pull them up! In 3 weeks I've gone from barely fitting into my pants to having them falling down on me! I…

Really good Heart Rate Monitors?
Hi! I'm looking for a good heart rate monitor to use to track my calorie burn more accurately. I bought my BF one by Polar, and he really likes it. My problem it the band around your chest. My bra already drives me insane, I can't imagine adding another band, even under the bra! (Sorry if TMI!) I know arm-bands are not as…
