		<description><![CDATA[Dr. Andrew Weil sometimes recommends what he calls a news fast.  Simply put, that means avoiding new reports, especially television, for a period of time. A number of studies have shown that images and reports of violence, death and disaster can cause undesirable changes in one&#8217;s mood.  Further, such images can aggravate pre-existing anxiety, sadness and depression.  Obviously, none of these outcomes is optimal for those concerned about their health. Even is all t he graphic news of disasters, economic collapse, and violence in the world just contribute to increased worrying, that alone can reduce your immunity, resulting in more illnesses. So, maybe Drl Weil has a point.  Taking a break from news, at least the graphic variety shown on television, might be a good, and healthy, idea.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wish you had a cool brain too?  Well, researchers from Princeton and the University of Arizona have a theory that yawning may in part be a mechanism to cool your brain.  They found that yawning is more prevalent when the outside temperature is cooler than the brain&#8217;s.  By opening your mouth you expose the roof of your mouth to the cooler air, which helps to cool the brain.  So, if these researchers are correct, yawning may not always be an indicator of drowsiness, it may just mean your brain&#8217;s overheating. [A previous study by the same researchers linked alertness to yawning.]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nope, you haven&#8217;t accidentally stumbled upon a porno site.  I&#8217;m still here talking about fitness.  But speaking of &#8220;stumbling upon&#8221; I stumbled upon this guy recently. WOW!  Talk about an &#8220;old dude&#8221; who&#8217;s got more fitness that you 20 year olds, here he is.  Click here and check him out! Or just click the big red logo in the upper right of this page. Let’s face it, there’s only one reason to listen to advice from anyone –  and that reason is that they’ve achieved real world results for themselves that you would like to achieve too. If you want to get rich, learn from a millionaire, not some salaried writer who works for a magazine. If you want to get in great shape at any age, learn from someone who IS. This guy is, and he can show you exactly how he got that way! To hear more of Robert&#8217;s story, watch more of his videos, or get going with his program, Just Click Here.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[OK, time for some more preaching from IDigFitness.  This time, I&#8217;m talking to you midlifers and old dudes and dudettes.  According to two reports in the January issue of the Archives of Neurology, moderate physical exercise performed during midlife, or later, seems to be associated with a reduced risk of mild cognitive impairment (thinking ability).  Furthermore, six months of intensive aerobic exercise may even be beneficial for people who are already suffering from cognitive impairment. Need I say it again, &#8220;Get to gettin&#8217;.&#8221;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently read a study done by researchers at Bowling Green University. In a nutshell, they took some obese people and followed their exercise patterns by logging whether they reported being in a good or bad mood in the morning. They found that people were more likely to exercise on days on which they reported being in a good mood in the morning. I don&#8217;t doubt that is true. However, my experience shows that you can convert that &#8220;bad mood&#8221; into a &#8220;good mood&#8221; if you discipline yourself into exercising on the bad mood days. Doesn&#8217;t that seem more beneficial? If you&#8217;re about to start a day with a bad mood, more often than not you can change your &#8220;destiny&#8221; for that day by exercising. A morning workout can work wonders on altering your mood for the better. So, when you see you are about to enter a day in a bad mood, get some exercise. You (and those around you) will be glad you did.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The New Year is coming on fast, and each year around this time we all become both introspective and forward-looking. We reflect on the year gone by, usually with emphasis on our failures, and we resolve to do better. And nowhere is this mental process more prevalent than in the realm of our physical fitness &#8211; especially our desire to weigh less. Even though I have made many (and I do mean &#8220;many&#8221;) New Year&#8217;s Resolutions that I failed to keep, I am still a big fan of the process of taking time to consider both my successes and my failures, and to resolve to improve. Hope springs eternal. To me, there is something therapeutic in this process. I read a comment recently that hit home with me. Unfortunately, I don&#8217;t remember where and can&#8217;t give the author due credit. The comment was that rather than making new resolutions each year, we should just try to keep the ones we have already made. Ouch! But very true. Often, my New Year&#8217;s Resolutions are repeats of prior resolutions. I shall not, however, be deterred. Resolutions I shall make, and my quest for fitness and health shall continue, however imperfect.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[OK, just added WiiFit Plus to my &#8220;workout&#8221; arsenal. I haven&#8217;t had time to evaluate all its games and activities yet, but I can say that the balance board is going to be extremely good for my stiff, inflexible body &#8211; especially the yoga, but all of the balance games in general. Remember the philosophy of IDigFitness.Com &#8211; &#8220;if its fun, you do it.&#8221; Well, Wii Fit is definitely fun, and I think I&#8217;ll definitely be doing it (probably more than I should). Question is, will I get a measurable fitness benefit? We&#8217;ll see. My first impression is that it will have both physical and mental health benefits. Playing games is something we adults should do more of. We&#8217;ve gotten all too grown up and serious. I&#8217;ll keep you posted on how my opinion of Wii Fit progresses as I use it more.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;ve never read any of the writings of the Stoic philosopher, Seneca, you&#8217;re in for a treat. Here&#8217;s a small sample to help you appreciate the value of your time. If you want more, I recommend Letters From a Stoic, also by Seneca. _________________________________ Greetings from Seneca to his friend Lucilius. Continue to act thus, my dear Lucilius &#8211; set yourself free for your own sake; gather and save your time, which till lately has been forced from you, or filched away, or has merely slipped from your hands. Make yourself believe the truth of my words, that certain moments are torn from us, that some are gently removed, and that others glide beyond our reach. The most disgraceful kind of loss, however, is that due to carelessness. Furthermore, if you will pay close heed to the problem, you will find that the largest portion of our life passes while we are doing ill, a goodly share while we are doing nothing, and the whole while we are doing that which is not to the purpose. What man can you show me who places any value on his time, who reckons the worth of each day, who understands that [...]]]></description>
