Born to Exercise

in category of Beauty & Style, Health & Fitness, Colleen Walsh-Jervis

Get winded after climbing the stairs? It might not be extreme laziness: your genes might be keeping you from working out. It’s not your fault that you can barely last through a walk around the block; it also explains why some people love working out and pushing their bodies to the limit. They’re not crazy – their bodies were made for it! These are the people who can experience a runner’s high (not me – I experience feeling completely winded as I have to stop and put my head between my knees.)Read More »

Slow and Steady Exercise

in category of Beauty & Style, Health & Fitness, Colleen Walsh-Jervis

When it comes to your health, going to the gym for a high-intensity spin aerobics class won’t help much. Truth is, you don’t even have to break a sweat to reap many benefits of working out. Simply walking or even just standing can improve cholesterol and insulin levels better than shorter, high-intensity workouts.Read More »

The USPS is launching a clothing line. We’re not sure why.
The USPS is launching a clothing line. We’re not sure why.

I feel like I write about surprising clothing line collaborations often, but this one takes the weird cake. The struggling United States Postal Service (USPS) is launching a line of men’s outerwear.

Oh, dear.

I don’t know if you’ve seen your mail carrier’s official winter accessories, but I can’t imagine choosing to pay money for and wear something along those lines.Read More »

Millennials Are Stressed

The young generation doesn't handle stress well.
The young generation doesn't handle stress well.

It’s a stressful world we live in, but more so for Millennials. Also known as Generation Y, current twenty-somethings are struggling with a number of factors – like crushing student debt, few job prospects, and tough expectations at work – that put them under more stress than previous generations. Even the once-apathetic Generation X is feeling the strain. Unfortunately, these two groups aren’t handling stress well and are starting to feel its effects.Read More »

How Big Is Twitter?

in category of Technology, Lifestyle, Colleen Walsh-Jervis, social media, twitter

Twitter seems like a social media giant, but according to a new study from Pew Research Center, it comes in a distant second in the social media rankings. Even more surprising is that Pinterest is so close to Twitter in terms of the percentage of American adult Internet users that it could soon take over the runner-up spot.Read More »

The Amazing Pregnant Man

No, guys, you really can’t handle it. Trust us.
No, guys, you really can’t handle it. Trust us.

Men have no idea what it’s like to be pregnant or in labor, but darn it, they’re trying to figure it out. Recently, men in the media have been donning fake bellies and electrodes in an effort to find out what pregnancy and labor feel like, giving them a better understanding of what women go through.

The result? It seems that the men are learning that being of the fairer sex isn’t so fair in the procreation department.Read More »

Bad Sleep? Blame Your Phone

In our ever-connected world, we feel the need to have our phones with us at all times. What if there is an emergency? How will you wake up without your phone’s alarm? What if your significant other sends you a romantic text and you don’t respond in a timely manner?

One-quarter of young people feel that they have to be available at all hours. These days, there is less understanding for those who don’t provide an immediate response, so few feel that they can let go of their phone, even while they sleep. Unfortunately, keeping phones nearby wrecks our sleep in a couple of ways.Read More »

Smoke If You Got ’Em

Smoking and drinking can often lead to an early death – unless you’ve got some amazing genes. 102-year-old Clara Cowell just gave up smoking after 82 years; surprisingly, it wasn’t for health reasons.

She’s not the only centenarian with a vice: a study of centenarians have shown that those who live to ripe old ages often engage in bad habits like smoking, drinking, and eating fried food. “They’re as bad as everyone,” said Nir Barzilai, lead researcher behind the 2011 study for Yeshiva University. “The centenarians were telling us terrible stories about their life habits.”Read More »
