Welcome back to the life wellness Link Typhoon. Been awhile.
For those of you familiar with the way things work around these parts, you know that I use a Posterous blog as a kind of “news feed” and post there almost daily. The more lengthy thoughts and topics are covered here. And everything is fed into Facebook on the Daily Life Wellness page.
It’s all one big happy circle of health and fitness-related goodness.
The weekly Link Typhoon will still capture the newsy health/wellness/fitness stuff from the week, but will now include the recaps from the Posterous blog for those who would rather just get everything here.
Plus I’ll add some random chestnuts like “exercise of the week” videos, etc.
Hopefully that makes sense. In any case we’ll see how it goes.
So let’s get on with the linking:
‘Magic Mushroom’ Might Help Cancer Patients This has been a popular post on Posterous this week. Seems everyone wants to know about the ‘shrooms. In a small study, researches gave a “controlled dose” of ‘shrooms to folks with advanced cancers. Patients reported improved moods long after the single dose was administered.
When Does Old Age Start? Apparently scientists have “discovered” that old age no longer starts at 65! With folks living longer and healthier these days, 65 just isn’t the same as it used to be.
Plenty of Flu Vaccine Available. So Get On It. I’ve mentioned this already but it bears repeating: Go ahead and get your flu vaccine — and soon. This year you get protected against swine (H1N1) and two more strains, including the potentially dangerous H3N2 variety — all in the same single dose.
Corn Syrup Producers Want Extreme Makeover In a bid to wipe the slate clean and improve their much-maligned image, high fructose corn syrup makers are changing the sweetener’s name to…corn sugar. Nice try. Still the same nasty stuff.
Could This Be the Number One Most Ridiculous Fat Loss Method Ever? New device clamps down on your love handles and freezes your fat cells so they die a natural death. You can’t make this stuff up, folks. Oh…and it will only cost you a cool $3,000.
Exercise of the Week: Parallel Bar Dips This has become one of my favorites lately, as part of an overall strength building routine. Works the triceps, shoulders and chest. Work up to 10 repetitions for three sets, then try the weighted version.
Enjoy the weekend!
