Q: I want to make my ab workouts more intense with a stability ball, but I don’t know where to start. Any suggestions? A: First thing’s first: make sure that the ball is the correct size for you. Determine this by sitting on a stability ball with your feet shoulder width apart. If your knees are at a 90 degree … Read More…

If you’ve ever had a blister from, say, breaking in new shoes, you know firsthand how uncomfortable and frustrating it can feel to walk around or exercise with a nagging ouch. While that tenderness will eventually subside as the shoe molds to your foot, some other issues, such a sharp pain in your heel or arch, could worsen over time if untreated. Unfortunately, that’s what the majority of us do, hoping it just, poof, goes away.
According to a 2014 survey from the American Podiatric Medical Association, 77 percent of U.S. adults over age 18 have experienced foot pain. Of those people, only a third have visited a podiatrist for help. If the pain is fleeting, it’s understandable why you might not seek assistance. But if it’s reoccurring, it’s important to break the cycle of hurt before it develops into one of two types of foot injuries: traumatic (single-time injuries like a sprained ankle or broken bone) or microtrauma (those that occur over time usually from overuse).
“Repetitive stress injuries that occur over time are caused by extrinsic factors such as training errors or intrinsic factors, such as biomechanics deficits in flexibility, mobility, and stability,” says chiropractic physician Josh Sandell, D.C., the chief clinical officer of Orthology, a nationwide patient-focused facility for orthopedic care, and sports medicine specialist to the Minnesota Vikings. This causes abnormal strains and stressors throughout …

For the Love of Food
Welcome to Friday’s For The Love of Food, Summer Tomato’s weekly link roundup.
This week Instagram makes food taste better, willpower research is shaken up, and the benefits of cold showers.
Too busy to read them all? Try this awesome free speed reading app I just discovered to read at 300+ wpm. So neat!
Want to see all my favorite links? (There’s lots more). Be sure to follow me on Delicious. I also share links on Twitter @summertomato and the Summer Tomato Facebook page. I’m very active on all these sites and would love to connect with you.
Links of the week
Meditation Plus Running as a Treatment for Depression <<While this doesn’t entirely surprise me (mood boosting is the best reason to do both these activities, IMO), the research shows there may be a synergy between the two practices. Given the other benefits as well, seems like a great supplement to medication with little down side. (NYTimes)
10 Interesting Predictors of Longevity <<According to this article there’s a decent chance I might live forever. (Mark’s Daily Apple)
Beyond ‘Vegetarian’ <<It’s not an accident that I’ve named b…

Since March 16, 2015, I’ve been collecting research studies funded by industry or conducted by investigators with food industry connections. These are studies that I’ve either run across in the course of my reading or that were sent to me by readers (thanks especially to Cole Adams).
It has now been a year since I started doing this. If I have counted correctly, this somewhat haphazard collection comes to a grand total of 168 funded studies, 156 of them with results favorable to the sponsor’s interests, but only 12 industry-funded studies with unfavorable results.
That’s more than enough to make this point: it’s a lot easier to find industry-funded studies with results favorable to the sponsor’s interest than against it.
I will do a more accurate count and see what other conclusions, if any, can be drawn from this collection as soon as I can get to its analysis.
In the meantime, I’m stopping the collection. From now on, I will only post sponsored studies that raise particular issues or that I find particularly amusing.
Here’s the last bunch:

Ok, so it took me a week to get the blog set up. I made the decision to send out my “wake up” email and start my blog on the spur of the moment (and then informed my website guy after the fact). Apparently it’s more complicated than pushing a button. This is why I should stick to training and writing and leave the IT difficulties to the professionals.
Anyway…I’ll start with a recap of the last 10 days and go from there.
Fuel. It’s the hardest part of the equation. I find it extremely difficult to make good dietary decisions if I’m flying by the seat of my pants. In my experience that’s pretty much true across the board for most people. Maybe not you; maybe you can make good decisions on the spur of the moment when you’re hungry. Not me, I have to plan in advance. This week I’ve been eating rotisserie chicken and a wild rice/quinoa mixture for lunch. Easy. Simple. To keep it lively I need a little hot sauce.
So….today my challenge for you is to plan out your eating schedule for tomorrow. If you have a plan, you will make better decisions.
