All About the Lemon Juice and Maple Syrup Detox The third time i caved in on the lemon juice and maple syrup detox diet I knew i needed help. I did not want to fail partly because i had $100 riding on it, partly because of my ego but i think it was really because I wanted it to work deep down. MY cynical nature could not cover up the fact i was fat, i was bloated and i was sick of being sick! I went online and did my research. I found out about the founder of the master cleanse diet as it is also called; Stanley Burroughs. I have to say i do not agree with everything he said but once i completed the detox i must admit he had many things right. I also found a guide that was my savior in this endeavor called Master Cleanse Secrets. I won the bet and changed my outlook on life, in fact i gave the money back as i felt the benefits of the cleanse were payment enough! If you are also looking to do a detox of your body and perhaps also lose weight in the process i highly recommend you check this e-book out below.

1-2-3 Sort It A machine that used to be considered punishment is now a $1.4 billion fitness industry (Yu-Ming Huang for The Washington Post) As the weather turns colder, Jen Forman will do what she’s always done to get her runs in: She’ll go to her treadmill in her home, press start and run until she’s done. And she will hate every moment of it. “I will continue to press the speed button to get a treadmill workout done as quickly as possible,” said Forman, 38, of Gaithersburg. “But I can’t live without it, because if it’s snowing outside or I have my kids at home, I can’t leave and go for a run.” In its 2016 survey, the Sports & Fitness Industry Association (SFIA) found that more than 50 million Americans said they used a treadmill at least once in the previous year. “I can’t get my head around the fact that we now pay to run on machines that were the harshest form of punishment, short of the death penalty, for about 100 years,” said Vybarr Cregan-Reid, a senior lecturer at the University of Kent in England and author of “Footnotes: How Running Makes Us Human.” Tools to entertain, connect

Just one hour of exercise a week can be enough to prevent depression We know that exercise or even just a regular stroll outside can have massive benefits for both our mental and physical health. But now researchers have delivered surprisingly good news on this front - a large data analysis has revealed that even one hour a week of any type of exercise can prevent depression in the future. A large international team of researchers from the UK, Australia, and Norway looked at data from a huge Norwegian population health survey called HUNT, conducted between 1984 and 1997. According to the team, studies have been increasingly pointing to a link between physical activity levels and mental health issues such as depression and anxiety. But there's always the question of whether there's actually a 'reverse causation' going on - people with mental health issues may struggle to get enough exercise in the first place. Sometimes such research also conflates depression and anxiety together, even though each can have different risk factors and biological mechanisms.
Lifestyle Design Experiments This is the place where you find all the lifestyle design experiments I'm sharing online. A lifestyle design experiment is where we take a simple idea or radical lifestyle concept and give it a test run in our lives. We're only obligated to it for 30 days, enough time to form it into a habit. After the 30 days are up, we can choose to let go of the idea if it's not serving us, or keep it. Ideally, we want to try things out which we believe will have a massive positive impact on our lives and bring ourselves to a whole new level of existence. It takes a lot of motivation and dedication to make massive positive changes in our lives. You don't have to start a blog to do this, but its really easy if you want to. Or you can get a few trusted accountability partners and tell them what you want to accomplish, then regularly update them on how your lifestyle design experiment is coming along. Below you'll see my ongoing experiment with a raw food diet. -Ender Polyphasic Sleep Raw Food Diet
How harmful is too much sitting? It’s time to step away from the computer and read this: According to one study, people who spend more than four hours a day in front of a screen have a higher risk of early death in general and a higher risk of events related to heart disease, such as chest pain or heart attack. But sitting in front of the TV isn't the only concern. Any extended sitting — such as behind a desk at work or behind the wheel — can be harmful. What's more, even fitting in some moderate or vigorous activity doesn't seem to significantly offset the risk of sitting most of the time. The solution? For example: Stand while talking on the phone or eating lunch. Better yet, think about ways to walk while you work: Walk laps with your colleagues rather than gathering in a conference room for meetings. The impact of movement — even leisurely movement — can be profound.

Four Homemade Cleaners This was easier than I thought it would be. One of Betsy’s goals for the year was to ditch some of our standard cleaners that we use around the house and make them! Honestly, I was a bit skeptical about this project mainly because I wasn’t sure that homemade cleaners would really get the job done. And my lovely wife is a bit of a neat freak so there’s no way she would use something that didn’t perform well. So a couple of weekends ago she went out and bought a few staple ingredients and some empty spray bottles and we spent a few minutes mixing up four different homemade cleaners that have since replaced 90% of the cleaners we use around the house. For the last few weeks we’ve been using them now and I’ve been so impressed by how well they are working, I thought I’d share them all with you in case any of you are interested in ditching the chemicals.
