Scientists have recently been wondering why this happens and think Read the rest of this entry »

At Green Mountain, we’re not proponents of strategies to artificially reduce the amount of food we eat, to try to fool our bodies that we’ve had enough. They don’t work. Our bodies know when we need more food. Even when we try to trick it, the hunger drive wins the vast majority of the time.

It’s not our fault we don’t understand that. We’ve been taught that we can ‘control’ our hunger, but the Read the rest of this entry »

There are increasing concerns in the US that many kids may have been misdiagnosed with food allergies.

During the last decade, the rate of food allergies in children has risen by 18 percent – with three million American kids estimated to have a food allergy.

Stretching is usually done in one of three ways: 1 – In a Yoga session, where it is performed with precision and purpose; 2 – Before and/or after a workout, when it is done as more of an afterthought; or 3 – Not at all.
