Love is perhaps our most powerful emotion, and the need to be in a loving relationship may be one of the strongest needs we have. Being in an intimate relationship makes us feel connected, not only to our partner, but also to the world at large.
Thanksgiving is traditionally a day of overindulgence. In many families, the main activities are eating, watching football on TV, feasting on the leftovers, and taking a nap. But it can also signal the start of an unhealthful holiday season – a five-week period in which food, alcohol, parties and stress can lead to weight gain and regret by January 2nd. But Burr Leonard, founder of The Bar Method and Bar Online wants to change all of that. November 26th, the day before Thanksgiving, has been declared “Workout Wednesday” by the American Council on Exercise. “Americans tend to gain one or two pounds around the holidays and often don’t return to their previous weight, resulting in the extra pounds adding up over the years,” warns Burr. “To avoid weight gain from the high calorie meals of Thanksgiving, Americans can reserve the day before as a time to be as active and healthy as possible.”

We’ve been talking a lot about sugar intake as of late, but salt is another s word that might be on your mind. According to recent research, our heavy dependence on sodium may partially to blame for the more than 1 million cardiovascular-related deaths each year. Published studies have demonstrated how sodium can increase your blood pressure, and while the recommendation is currently at 2.0 grams per day or less, most of us are consuming nearly twice that amount.
At 34, I sometimes feel like an old fogey in my yoga practice. To be fair, I’m absolutely a little bit of the old-fashioned type and I’m definitely kind of old soul-ish. And I think the term fancy yoga poses can surely be relative. When I say fancy yoga poses I generally mean most inversions like handstand and headstand, as well as basically all arm balances, and we can also go ahead and throw in poses that require excess flexibility too. Yet these are the poses that people are Instagramming. These are the postures that people are rocking out in Facebook profile pictures. (I guiltily hang my head at that one.) And there’s a reason for that—they can be fun to practice and fun to look at.
