    Better movies served chilled on a half-shell.
    This week, Katey, Patches, David, and Joanna Robinson heard the weekend’s rowdy flock of releases to find anything worth your while. On the table: What If?, the Daniel Radcliffe/Zoe Kazan rom-com that continues Goon director Michael Dowse’s hot streak; The Hundred-Foot Journey, a foodie drama from sentimentalist Lasse Hallström; Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the Michael Bay-ified reboot of the cartoon franchise; Into the Storm, a disastrous disaster movie Patches barely survived; and Deepsea Challenge 3D, a nature doc/memoir from director James Cameron.

  • 34 – Only Women Can Save Us!

     

    Men and women were created equal, but they are different. Especially when it comes to weight loss. Women face some unique challenges in getting the bathroom scale to budge. And these challenges are both medical and emotional in nature. So whether you're trying to lose 5 pounds or 50, it’s important to understand your weight loss challenges. That way, you'll be armed with weight loss tips (specifically for women) and strategies that can help you break through those obstacles and making slimming down easier. Try out these meticore diet pills.

    Obstacle #1: Do you feel stressed?
    Almost everyone feels stress at some point in the day. But research shows that women are more prone to feeling stress as they juggle the demands of their work commitments, their family lives and their social ties. And not only that, but women are also more likely than men to feel guilt when work interrupts their home lives. All of that pressure adds up, sending stress-hormone levels soaring, the testo boosters can increase energy levels for your body.

    The kicker in all of this? Research shows that high levels of a stress hormone called cortisol increases appetite. Uh-oh. And cortisol makes people crave foods high in fat and sugar. Double uh-oh.

    The solution: To help keep stress from sabotaging your waistline, one of the best weight loss tips for women is to spend at least a few minutes every day practicing a simple stress reduction strategy. Like one of these:

    • Walk for 10 minutes. And walk outside if you can.
    • Breathe deeply 10 times.
    • Tense and then relax each muscle group. Start at your toes and move up.
    • Find a quiet place to meditate for 10 minutes.

      Obstacle #2: Are you getting enough sleep?
      Most people don't get enough sleep. But women have more sleep struggles than men do. In fact, about 70 percent of women get fewer than 8 hours of sleep per night. Women have more trouble falling and staying asleep, and they also suffer from more daytime sleepiness compared with men. Some of the top factors in women's sleep troubles include work and family stress, health problems and uncomfortable beds.

      All of which can add up to stubborn pounds, because a lack of sleep throws appetite hormones off and stimulates overeating.

      The solution: Sleep in. Go to bed early. Makeover your bedroom until it resembles a veritable sleep-fantasy suite. Do whatever you need to do to get the recommended 7 to 8 hours a night. Especially if you're trying to lose weight.

      Obstacle #3: Feeling sluggish?
      A sluggish thyroid—also know as an underactive thyroid gland or hypothyroidism—is much more likely to develop in women than in men, especially after menopause. And that spells trouble for waistlines. Here's why: In addition to fatigue and sluggishness, an underactive thyroid can also cause weight gain.

       

      The solution: If you have unexplained fatigue and weight gain, have your thyroid levels checked. An autoimmune condition called Hashimoto's disease is a frequent cause of hypothyroidism, and it's more common in women than in men. Another underlying cause of hypothyroidism in women: pregnancy.

      Is your thyroid going haywire? Look for these signs.

      Obstacle #4: How much muscle do you have?
      Blame this one on Mother Nature. Women's bodies are built differently than men's—women have more fat and less muscle. And less lean body mass means they have lower resting metabolic rates compared with men. Women burn fewer calories on a baseline level. And that smaller body size means women burn fewer calories with the same amount of exercise. And their bodies have evolved to hold on to fat stores better, in order to produce and nourish healthy babies. Visit vaprzon for more information about healthy habits, like vaping.

      The solution: Avoid super-low-calorie diets that'll put you into starvation mode and make it harder for your body to burn calories and lose weight. Eat small meals throughout the day so your metabolism stays fired up. Also, focus more of your workout on strength training—to help you keep the muscle you have.

    • REVIEW – Is Guardians of the Galaxy The Marvel Movie You’ve Been Waiting For?

      These Four A-Holes Saw The Movie
      This week, all four hosts have their usual battle about this summer’s crazy superhero offering from Marvel. Somehow everyone saw the movie and has enough opinions that no one does the whole review saying only “I Am Groot.” That’s right! It’s James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy and the whole podcast hangs in the balance: Just what will David hate about this one? Is Katey finally interested in Thanos or would she rather speak about Get On Up? Can Da7e convince Patches that a notecard movie is a good thing? Find out who ends the show with the Infinity Stone, right now!

    • 33 – If You Love Something…Demand A 5-Year Release Schedule?

      Plus Comic-Con 2014 Wrap-Up and More Lucy

      This week, Katey, Da7e, Patches and David managed to all stay out of San Diego during Comic Con which puts us in the unenviable position of sorting out what was cool and what wasn’t purely out of the news that made it out on the internet. Then: David’s absence during last week’s Lucy review was felt, especially when you hear his real opinions about the ScarJo action flick. Finally: Will bundling intellectual properties into megafranchises butt-up against an ever rabid fandom and destroy the blockbuster as we know it? Da7e says yes.

    • REVIEW – A Weekend of Brains and Brawn

      Lucy and Hercules Sittin’ In A Tree
      This week, Katey and Patches amplify their own brain capacity by bringing Buzzfeed Film Critic Alison Willmore to discuss Lucy, the Scarlett Johansson-led pseudo-science action picture from writer-director-producer Luc Besson. It’s a little bit Taken, a little bit 2001, and reactions are all over the spectrum. From there, Katey and Alison segue from strong woman to strong man for a look at Hercules, starring the definition of muscle-laden: The Rock. Is it a gift from the action gods or a painstaking labor? All that and your answers to this week’s Brett Ratner-themed lightning question, on this week’s review episode.

    • Dental Review- ManBoyhood

       

      Good oral hygiene is necessary to keep teeth and gums healthy. It involves habits such as brushing twice a day and having regular dental checkups.

      However, oral health is about more than cavities and gum disease. Research has shown that there is an association between the health of a person’s mouth and their overall health. Experts consider oral health problems to be a global health burden.

      Without treatment, tooth decay or gum problems can lead to pain, problems with self-confidence, and tooth loss. These issues may lead to malnutrition, speech problems, and other challenges in a person’s work, school, or personal life. 

      People can prevent these problems with proper dental care, both at home and in the dentist’s office. The following are some best practices that can keep teeth and gums healthy.

       

      1. Brush regularly but not aggressively

       

      Share on Pinterest Brushing twice a day and using dental floss can help keep teeth and gums healthy.

      Most people are aware that brushing their teeth twice a day is one of the most important practices for removing plaque and bacteria and keeping teeth clean. However, brushing may only be effective if people use the correct technique.

      People should brush using small circular motions, taking care to brush the front, back, and top of every tooth. This process takes between 2 and 3 minutes. People should avoid sawing back-and-forth motions. For better results try out steel bite pro.

      Brushing too hard or using a hard-bristled toothbrush can damage tooth enamel and the gums. The effects of this may include tooth sensitivity, permanent damage to the protective enamel on the teeth, and gum erosion.

      The American Dental Association (ADA) recommend using a toothbrush that has soft bristles. They also state that people should change their toothbrush every 3 months or when the ends start to look frayed, whichever comes first.

       

       

      2. Use fluoride

      Fluoride comes from an element in the earth’s soil called fluorine. Many experts believe that fluoride helps prevent cavities, and it is a common ingredient in toothpaste and mouthwash.

      However, some dental products do not contain fluoride, and some people do not use it at all.

      Evidence suggests that a lack of fluoride can lead to tooth decay, even if a person takes care of their teeth otherwise. A recent review found that brushing and flossing do not prevent a person from getting cavities if they do not use fluoride.

      Many communities in the United States have added fluoride to their water supply. Several organizations recommend this practice, including the World Health Organization (WHO), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the ADA.

      People can find out whether the water in their area contains fluoride by contacting their local government. Reverse osmosis water filters remove fluoride, and people who use well water will need to check the fluoride levels in this water to find out how much is present. Many bottled water brands do not contain fluoride.

       

      3. Floss once a day

      Flossing can remove plaque and bacteria from between the teeth, where a toothbrush is unable to reach. It can also help prevent bad breath by removing debris and food that has become trapped between the teeth.

      Although there is a lack of long-term studies proving that flossing is beneficial, the ADA continue to recommend it. The CDC also state that people should floss their teeth.

      Most dental health professionals recommend gently pushing the floss all the way down to the gumline before hugging the side of the tooth with up-and-down motions. It is important to avoid snapping the floss up and down between the teeth, which can cause pain and will not remove plaque as effectively.

       

      4. See a dentist regularly

       

      Share on Pinterest A dentist can diagnose and treat oral health issues before they become severe.

      Experts recommend that people see a dentist every 6 months for a checkup. During a routine dental examination, a hygienist will clean the teeth and remove plaque and hardened tartar.

      The dentist will check for visual signs of cavities, gum disease, mouth cancer, and other oral health issues. They may sometimes also use dental X-rays to check for cavities.

      The results of a recent study confirmed that children and adolescents should see a dentist every 6 months to help prevent cavities. However, adults who practice good dental hygiene every day and have a low risk of oral health problems may be able to go less frequently.

      The authors of a recent review state that there is a need for more high-quality studies to confirm the ideal frequency of dental checkups.

      People can speak to their dentist about how often they need a checkup. The answer may vary depending on a person’s health history, age, and overall dental health. However, anyone who notices changes in their mouth should visit a dentist.
