One of my coworkers just told me about slacklining a couple weeks ago and I thought that it seemed sorta interesting, but ultimately pointless for myself. But after reading this article and realizing how balance is important for so many different things, now I want a slackline!
Scientists Use Videogames to Improve Older Brains
I attribute a lot of my eye-hand coordination and reading abilities to playing video games. I can’t say for a fact that video games benefited me, but I strongly believe they have. It looks like there are some other great benefits to video games as well – serious benefits.
Fermentation 101 with Jill Ciciarelli
This is a good intro to fermented foods. The only fermentation that I do regularly is to make kombucha and occasionally beer, but I’d really like to get into making pickles and sauerkraut. I might have to pick up this book. It’s only $10 on Kindle!
East Meets West Veg: Vegan Grocery Shopping 101 at Costco
Who knew that Costco had so many vegan products? Well I did, actually, because I shop there regularly. Well, I did shop there regularly, until I let my membership expire in March of this year. I love the deals at Costco, but I absolutely hate shopping there because of the crowds, which is why I haven’t gone back in such a long time. Now that we have a baby on the way though, we plan to renew our membership soon. I’ll have to keep my eye out for some of these cool vegan products.
I had no idea that nasal breathing was so important. Well I had some idea because I always hear the advice that you should breathe through your nose while running. This comes at an interesting time for me too because for the last couple of weeks I’ve been having allergy issues that are causing labored breathing and I’ve noticed that breathing through my mouth makes it much worse. Now it makes sense why. There are also some neat tricks in this post on unplugging a stuffed nose.
Super interesting post. I had no idea about the breathing thing up until now either. I’ll definitely have to work on breathing through my nose more!
