  • Face Masks Don’t Impede Healthy Exertion

     

    Vidcast:  https://youtu.be/w9l3ukXfJZ0

     

    Wearing a face mask while exercising will not strain your heart or negatively impact your athletic performance.  Austrian researchers draw these conclusions after their careful study of 10 subjects climbing up 4 to 5 flights and 96 steps with or without standard surgical face masks..

     

    The data reveals no significant impact of mask wearing on oxygen saturation, heart rate, and most importantly, elapsed time to complete the physically taxing climb.  Though the study involved a small number of participants, the results for each were so consistent that the investigators felt justified stating that masks have little effect on your body as you exercise.

     

    Masking and distancing while exercising keeps you and those around you safe.

  • Early Breakfast Eaters Have Lower Diabetes Risk

     

    Vidcast:  https://youtu.be/gdQ9-E7tQIs

     

    Those eating breakfast before 8:30 AM had lower blood sugar levels and less insulin resistance thereby lowering their risk of developing type 2 diabetes.  This conclusion comes from a study by Northwestern University endocrinologists just presented at the Endocrine Society’s annual meeting.

     

    Crunching the data gathered from 10,575 adults, they found that those beginning their daily meals before 8:30 in the morning had significantly lower fasting blood sugar levels and more effective insulin-driven carbohydrate metabolism.  This was true even for those who continued their grazing for more than 13 hours a day.

     

    The healthiest strategy: rise early, exercise, have breakfast before 8:30, and finish eating by 9 pm.
