Pilates is for EVERYONE! Why are many pro athletes such as Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown or Cubs pitcher Jake Arrieta fans of Pilates? Likely because there are many health benefits of the movements. "Pilates looks deceptively easy. But the often-tiny movements improve balance and core strength, Bird’s (a Pilates researcher and post-doctoral research fellow at the University of British Columbia)  research  suggests. Pilates does this in part by reinforcing the bond between mind and muscles, helping people engage the right muscles in the core. This leads to better posture and control over the body's movements, says Cherie Wells, a senior lecturer in physical therapy at Australia’s Griffith University. Wells’s  research  has found that the core-strengthening perks of Pilates may also ease pain and improve daily life for people suffering from chronic low-back pain."

Running Can Help You Live Longer. But More Doesn't Always Mean Better BY  MANDY OAKLANDER   NOVEMBER 7, 2019 One major reason Americans don’t get enough exercise is they feel they don’t have enough time. It can be difficult to squeeze in the 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic exercise per week that federal guidelines recommend; only about half of Americans do, according to the most recent numbers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But new research suggests people may be able to get life-lengthening benefits by running for far less time.  In a  new analysis  of 14 studies, researchers tracked deaths among more than 232,000 people from the U.S., Denmark, the U.K. and China over at least five years, and compared the findings with people’s self-reports about how much they ran. People who said they ran any amount were less likely to die during the follow-up than those who didn’t run at all. Runners were 27% less likely to die for any reason, compared with nonrunners, and had a 30% and 23% lower risk of dying from cardiovascular disease and cancer, respectively. This was true even for those who didn’t log a great deal of time. The analysis grouped people into clusters, with 50 minutes or less per week representing the group that ran the least—but still ran. The good news for people who want the maximum  longevity benefits —while spending the least amount of time slapping one foot in front of the other—is that running more than 50 minutes per week wasn’t linked to additional protections against dying. Neither were how often people ran and the pace they kept. As long as you’re running, more isn’t always better, especially given that the risk of injury increases with repetition.

Mini Chocolate Hazelnut Tarts from Mark's Daily Apple  22 Dec 2019 08:00 AM PST

Crust: 2 cups roasted hazelnuts 5 Tbsp. cacao powder 2 Tbsp. ground flaxseed 2 Tbsp. coconut oil or butter 1 Tbsp. tapioca starch 1-2 Tbsp. Swerve, granulated monk fruit sweetener or coconut sugar ½ tsp. vanilla extract 1 egg white pinch of salt Chocolate Ganache: 12 oz. 85% dark chocolate ½ cup + 2 Tbsp. full-fat coconut milk Optional: pinch of espresso powder and/or vanilla extract Instructions: Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Blend the hazelnuts in a food processor until a crumbly meal forms. Continue processing until the meal begins to clump together. Add the cacao powder, flaxseed, coconut oil, tapioca starch, sweetener and vanilla extract. Process until a dough begins to form. Add the egg white and blend until you have a uniform dough. Spray a set of mini tart pans with avocado oil spray. Spoon some dough into the tart pan and press the dough on the bottom and sides of the pan. Repeat with the remaining tart pans. Poke a few holes into the bottom of the tart with a fork. Bake the tarts for about 10 minutes, or until they are firm. Place the chocolate in a heat-safe bowl. Heat the coconut milk in a small saucepan until it starts to bubble. Once it begins to bubble, pour the milk over the chocolate. Allow the chocolate and coconut milk to sit for a minute, then whisk together until a smooth and silky chocolate mixture forms. Whisk in any other add-ins like vanilla extract and espresso powder. Spoon the ganache into the hazelnut tarts and top with a few chopped hazelnuts. Allow the ganache to set and crust to fully cool prior to removing them from the tins.
