-Sleepy early (rest and repair)
-Hydrate (flush out those toxins)
-Eat a colorful diet (to minimize a lack of nutrients)
-Take a multi-vitamin (for what’s missing in your diet)
-Exercise (because endorphins are awesome)
-De-stress and laugh often (it’s probably not as big of a deal as you’re making it)
-Love your body (because it’s the only one you’ll ever have)

“Toilet posture” is important, and here’s some science behind it! It also happens to be a promotional video for the Squatty Potty-Toilet Stool… :P Anyway, this might seem silly to some, but I know some people who’ve had colon cancer so I think this is important!

Findings from Massive Health
Okay, I know I’ve posted about protein pancakes before, but this time instead of using the Manitoba Harvest Hemp Protein Powder, I used Tone It Up’s new protein powder called Perfect Fit Protein. It made the pancakes more thick and fluffy as opposed to the other ones I made. I also added blueberries and lemon zest to the batter, and put a layer of almond butter with a light drizzle of agave nectar between the pancakes of my short stack - oh emm gee, it was so delicious!!
Which City Might Try to Ban Huge Sodas Next?
By now everyone’s well aware of Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s new plan to ban the sale of sodas larger than 16 ounces in New York City. So far the proposal doesn’t seem very pop-ular — it’s just too easy with this story — but the mayor himself is pushing past the criticism like he’s been there before.
That’s probably because he has. As Sarah Kliff pointed out the other day at Wonkblog, Bloomberg’s time as mayor has been filled with the passage of public health initiatives that were at the head of the national curve, and sometimes even set it. While many of these efforts were greeted with skepticism, a great number of cities (not to mention states and even countries) eventually came to embrace similar policies.
Using this history as its guide, Atlantic Cities embarked on an attempt to deduce which major city might be the next to follow in Bloomberg’s cup holder and pursue a ban on large sugary drinks. Read more.
