Strength Training and Memory

Georgia Tech researchers say a 20 minute resistance workout may improve your memory. People who performed exercises with weighted legs could recall more images on a test two days later than those who hadn't worked out. Strength training releases cortisol and epinephrine, hormones that stimulate activity in a part of the brain that processes memories. Hey, sounds good to me.

KNEE PAIN

Yes, there are a few ways to keep your knees healthy.
Strengthen Your Hips. Try half squats. (if you don't know how to do squats correctly check in with a trainer or a physical therapist)
Extra weight is your knee's worst enemy. Losing a little as 11 pounds can reduce your risk of knee osteoarthritis by more than 50%. The combination of weight control and strength is the best way to avoid arthritis.
High Heels? Over 3.5" puts extra stress on your knees. High heels can load more force onto the knee joint. Walk to and from work in comfortable shoes. Your hips, knees and feet will thank you for this.

Apple Cider Vinegar and Fresh Lemon Juice

Every morning I try to drink fresh squeezed lemon juice (1 lemon) mixed with a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and a cup of water. It's supposed to help with belly fat... we'll see. Has anyone else tried this?
