A Guide To Optimising Your Vitamins And Supplements Infographic The compounds resveratrol in red grapes as well as pterostilbene found in blueberries operate in synergy with vitamin D to boost the expression of the CAMP gene which is linked to immune function. It seems that the combination of either of these compounds with vitamin D has much more biological effect than any one of them would individually have. A strong connection has been identified between the function of the CAMP gene and adequate vitamin D levels.

The WSJ's "Get Over It" Column, Translated So a couple of days back, a gentleman by the name of Chad Stafko -- which apparently is his actual name, which I find awesome -- wrote an essay for The Wall Street Journal titled "OK, You're a Runner. Get Over It." Essentially, Mr. Well, his point was that there are these oval stickers, see? Here's the thing. OK, so his essay wasn't the most cogent to grace the pages of the WSJ. This made a lot of people upset. The anger is understandable. Lucky for you, I studied Bizarre Angry Rant in college. Here is a rough translation of Mr. OK, You're a Runner. There is one kind of bumper sticker I see almost daily here in my small Midwestern town: a small oval printed with "26.2" or "13.1." TRANSLATION: Things anger me. There is only one reason running aficionados display the stickers. TRANSLATION: People put stickers on their cars. What's with this infatuation with running and the near-mandatory ritual of preening about it? TRANSLATION: People run. TRANSLATION: I can use Google. I have a theory.
What we learned about human origins in 2013 The 1.8-million-year-old skull unearthed in Dmanisi, Georgia, suggests the earliest members of the Homo genus belonged to the same species, say scientists in a paper published Oct. 18, 2013 in the journal Science.Photo courtesy of Georgian National Museum The existence of a mysterious ancient human lineage and the possibility that the earliest humans were actually all one species were among the human-evolution-related discoveries of 2013. Other breakthroughs include the sequencing of the oldest human DNA yet. Here's a look at what scientists learned about humanity and human origins this year: Mystery lineageRecent analyses of fossil DNA have revealed that modern humans occasionally had sex and produced offspring not only with Neanderthals but also with Denisovans, a relatively newfound lineage whose genetic signature apparently extended from Siberia to the Pacific islands of Oceania. This year, hints began emerging that another mystery human lineage was part of this genetic mix as well.

Three Ways to Cope with a Bad Race If "Highway to Hell" is an apt description of your last race, when your pace slowed to a crawl and you weren't sure you'd finish, you might want to consider the perspective of British poet John Keats, who called failure the "highway to success." Although it may seem contradictory (or crazy) to celebrate a flop, many experts agree that losses can fuel future wins. "A bad race is an opportunity to gather information, learn, and improve," says Ralph Heath, a runner and author of Celebrating Failure: The Power of Taking Risks, Making Mistakes and Thinking Big. "You need to embrace failure as part of the process." Turning a negative into a positive may seem impossible, especially when your war wounds still sting. Scream and ShoutAllan M. After a bad race, many of us endure disappointment and, yes, even devastation, says Gloria Balague, Ph.D., a Chicago-based sports psychologist who works with USATF athletes. You also need to consider the emotional toll the bad race took on you.
Ethereal Macro Photos of Snowflakes in the Moments Before They Disappear Russian photographer Andrew Osokin is a master of winter macro photography. His photo collection is chock full of gorgeous super-close-up photographs of insects, flowers, snow, and frost. Among his most impressive shots are photographs of individual snowflakes that have fallen upon the ground and are in the process of melting away. The shots are so detailed and so perfectly framed that you might suspect them of being computer-generated fabrications. They’re not though. You can enjoy many more of Osokin’s impressive photographs (16 pages worth, at the moment) over on his LensArt.ru website.

Top 10 Awesome MacGyver Tricks That Speak For Themselves Runners, Yeah We're Different In 1999 and 2000, Adidas ran a memorable ad campaign. In my opinion, these are some of the greatest running shoe ads ever created. Each one touches on something private I have experienced as a runner, something that a non-runner would probably appreciate. This series of ads apparently won recognition within the advertising community, and was successful in increasing sales. Here are all the individual ads that I could locate. Some Hero Strapped a GoPro Camera Onto An Eagle And The Footage Is Breathtaking It's a moment of extreme cognitive dissonance when the most patriotic thing you have ever seen in your American life is actually super-French. A video featuring GoPro footage shot by an eagle (!!!) soared to the top of Reddit's video page recently, delighting all who laid eyes upon it. After watching a few times, reminisce over the time that dog directed a music video with the very same model camera here.
Raise Your Athletic IQ Whether you're trying to finish your first race, nail a PR, or increase your weekly mileage, runners who are most successful in achieving their goals have a high "athletic intelligence." That's a catchy way of saying these athletes are skilled at reading their body's cues and making the necessary on-the-spot adjustments–to pace, form, or attitude–to power through their workouts and races, says Dominic Micklewright, Ph.D., a sports psychologist at the University of Essex in the United Kingdom. Here's how you can raise your athletic IQ to reach your full performance potential. Tune Into Your BodyMany runners try to ignore the various twinges and aches they experience during a workout. [IQ Booster] Leave Your Tech Devices at HomeAt least for the next few workouts, says John Raglin, Ph.D., a sports psychologist at Indiana University. Plan for (a Little) PainRunning your PR is going to hurt–sometimes a little, sometimes a lot. Mind Over PainWhen the hurt sets in, reboot with these strategies
More Than 9 in 10 Americans Continue to Believe in God PRINCETON, NJ -- More than 9 in 10 Americans still say "yes" when asked the basic question "Do you believe in God?"; this is down only slightly from the 1940s, when Gallup first asked this question. Despite the many changes that have rippled through American society over the last 6 ½ decades, belief in God as measured in this direct way has remained high and relatively stable. In 1976, Gallup began using a slightly different question format to measure belief in a deity -- "Do you believe in God or a universal spirit?" Young Americans, Liberals, Easterners Least Likely to Believe in God Responses to the two slightly different question formats from Gallup's May 5-8 survey can be combined to provide a larger sample for subgroup analysis. Belief in God drops below 90% among younger Americans, liberals, those living in the East, those with postgraduate educations, and political independents. Belief in God Lower When Other Alternatives Offered Implications Survey Methods
