Some interesting information this week and a few things to try – will you be tempted to try going without shampoo or soap for an extended period of time?
- I like to wear high heels every so often, though I only do so for special occasions. This recent article has a summary of the health issues surrounding wearing high heels, though I think their recommendation that “no woman should wear a shoe taller than 2.5 inches high for extended periods of time” misses the point a bit. A woman with extremely big feet would find that 2.5 inches isn’t a very high heel at all whereas for me, with my tiny feet, I would be standing on my toes and logic tells me that can’t be a good thing. It’s all about the angle your foot has to take to get the heel of your foot that high.
- Richard Nikoley has been trying an experiment, not using shampoo or soap. While it makes fascinating reading, I’m not convinced that I want to try it myself. I enjoy the smells and relaxation of a long hot bath or shower too much.
- An excellent reminder in this post of the top ten exercise mistakes that women make. I even surprised myself by agreeing with most of them too.
- Society is getting fatter and women are outweighing their mothers. Do you think it’s because mother’s over-feed their daughters or is it just a continuation of the growing obesity epidemic?
- Following on from my link the other week on how to butcher a side of beef, here’s a post from someone who is trying to live by the self-sufficiency motto and who killed and butchered their first chicken this week.
- I meant to post this up sooner – Gubernatrix of All Round Strength Training has started up a Facebook group called the Women’s Strength Training Network. If you are interested in all things female and strength training related then get yourself along to it and sign up!
- This week’s animal photo is incredibly cute – check it out!
- Last weekend was the Skeleton events at the Olympics. The US Skeleton team went the extra mile this time by training in a wind tunnel.
- I’ve mentioned before how much I dislike green tea, so imagine my horror on being faced with a technical article listing out all the healthful properties of green tea and how it all works.
- The Women’s Strength Training Guide to a Sexy and Fit Body has some brief but handy reminders on training with heavy weights.
- I’ve done a whole post on the subject of omega 3 and 6 fatty acids. Dr John Briffa has raised awareness of a recent study that suggests that omega-3 fats may also protect against psychotic illness.
- Another success story of strength training and pregnancy from Cate Kelly who has found that she’s having none of the troubles that she suffered in her previous two pregnancies and she attributes this to her strength training that is continuing through pregnancy number three.
Finally, I’ll leave you with a video of a voice impressionist that really impressed me.
Enjoy the video and have a great weekend everyone!
