Epigenetics. This is something I have not heard much about, but this study came across my newsfeed on Facebook today. Fascinating! They had volunteers in a study exercise one leg and then studied the changes to their dna. Read for yourself!
http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/12/17/how-exercise-changes-our-dna/?_r=0The Darren Daily yesterday talked about the movie unbroken. I really didn't know much about this movie, except that it seemed to be a true story. It seems more fascinating now. Darren interviewed the man who the story is based on. Louis Zamporini. Louis talks about being Hearty. Says it several times in the interview. I love that spelling of Hearty! It seems to me that it means you put your heart and soul into everything you do. You are less likely to give up if your heart is in it. The spelling hardy is how I used to think of the word. That denotes that it is hard... So lets be Hearty and put our heart into what we are doing. If you want to listen to the interview check out this link. Very interesting. http://www.darrendaily.com/unbroken/ I think I'll have to watch the movie now. :)

"Every time you start to eat, check your hunger level. Ideally, aim for around a level of 3 to begin eating. If you are at a 5 or above, you are not biologically hungry. If you are at 2 or lower, you're likely over hungry and at risk for overeating." Scale and comments taken from the book "Intuitive Eating" by Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch.
