These are interesting articles, but as is always the case, it is important to read what these authors have to say and consider the information in the context of your own experiences. For instance, when reading “Weighing the Evidence on Exercise”, you may get the sense that there is a great range of responses to exercise in terms of its effects on weight loss, appetite, energy levels, and mood. This can be confusing, but it is not surprising because our responses to just about everything we experience in life can depend on our own unique collection of characteristics, including our gender, age, overall health history, diseases and medications, sleep patterns, and so much more. (By the way, read all the way through the “Weighing the Evidence on Exercise” article – I found the second half especially interesting.)So then, what do we do when the information out there seems ambiguous? That’s when we need to read (or listen) mindfully, and to purposely not hold on to anything as “The Truth”. Take in what you read, consider how it relates to what you already know, and then listen to what your body and mind say is right for you.
What is true for you? ... What role does exercise play in your life? Do you find that your relationships can affect your physical health?
Enjoy the day. Eat Well. Live Well. Be Well.
Great reads and great points!
