Another Reason to Exercise, Even if You Are at Home These Days

Here is a good reason to exercise. Even If you are home in a small apartment, you can lay on your back and move your arms and legs. You can also go for a walk, sprinting at times for interval training, or bike ride, with a mask and gloves.

This article is about superoxide dismutatse, that is released during exercise and may ward off  respiratory disease.

Fat Special on PBS

How are you all doing?

Keep safe. Stay positive. Keep busy.

This is a good special with basic information about fat. If you pay $5 a month for
the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), you get to watch any program you want any time online. It's a good bargain. You support a good channel.

Why are sumo wrestlers healthy? I guessed correctly.

Why do some Biggest Lower contestants gain weight back? A lot has to do with homeostasis.

What is the body's response to dieting? years ago I wrote about meal times in more than one blog and they are relevant.

What does dopamine have to do with it? How can you trick yourself? (The last answer is not in the documentary but feel free to comment.)

Years ago I reviewed uses of fat such as to cover your nerve myelin nerves, give you energy, protect your bones and ultimately provide sugar for your brain.

In my spirituality and religion blog I wrote about an axiom Pan Metron Ariston, probably first said by Socrates that everything is in excellence in moderation or the middle road. For most, being too fat or too thin is not good.

The complex reasons one person may be obese besides perhaps eating too much and not moving enough are partly a mystery. Yet I believe with your will power, good choices, hard work, intention and magic, you can achieve and keep a weight and fitness level that works for you.

Enjoy.
