The Not-Too-Crazy Detox. When people tell me they're on a strict, long-term diet I get completely mixed feelings. Example: the paleo diet. If a person tells me they are on the paleo diet, my first thought is always "this person is either clinically insane or has never been to the Cheesecake Factory," and my second thought is generally "that's really impressive, I want to try that! " .....until reality kicks in. I cannot even commit to watching The Mindy Project two weeks in a row, let alone change my entire diet permanently.

In a two-year study, women who developed runner's knee had much greater hip adduction, or movement of their hip toward their midline, than women who didn't develop runner's knee. In the study, published in Medicine & Science in Exercise & Sports, researchers did a gait analysis on 400 healthy women runners, and then tracked the women's incidence of injury over the next two years.

Fifteen of the women developed runner's knee, which is medically known as patellofemoral pain. The researchers compared the running mechanics of the 15 injured women with 15 women who remained healthy. They found that the women who developed runner's knee had much greater pelvic instability than the healthy runners; when the women who developed runner's knee ran, their hips collapsed toward the midline of their bodies instead of remaining level. The study found no connection between rearfoot eversion, which is roughly overpronation, and developing runner's knee.
