According to a large study, a healthy cardiorespiratory fitness level at a young age is linked to as much as a 40% reduced risk of 9 certain cancers at a later date, which includes cancers of the lung, bowel, head and neck, kidney, liver, pancreas, stomach, and esophagus. Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) means an individual’s ability to undertake aerobic exercise, which includes swimming, cycling, running, or even climbing stairs for sustained periods. It’s considered to be linked to a reduction in the risk of specific cancers, but not many long-term studies of multiple types of cancer have been documented. The researchers…
A growing problemStephanie Jaret’s daughter was born prematurely and spent a month in the infant special care unit. “She was displaying feeding issues that the staff dismissed, and they diagnosed her with a heart condition,” says Jaret.

600 Arundhati wrote an article, “Yoga in India vs. Yoga in America“, originally published on Seattle Yoga News. In this article, Arundhati talks about her personal observations on the differences between how yoga is practiced and understood in both the East and the West.

903 If you are currently enrolled, or looking to enroll in a yoga teacher training, you will have to be prepared to put your skills of teaching to the test through a proper audition. Interviews to be a yoga teacher are conducted much differently than your typical job interviews, and generally they include a proper ‘audition’ as well. I have seen this done in several formats. In some cases, you will be asked to teach a full class anywhere from 30-50 minutes to a room full of volunteer students. In other cases, you will be asked to ‘pretend’ that you…

If any of the above scenarios apply to you, you’re not alone. Many people report continually feeling cold — otherwise known as “cold intolerance” — even when it’s objectively mild outside.

In an extensive literature review, which indicates there are several methods for meeting the omega-3 fatty acid recommendations, the researchers determined that consuming ALA that’s present in plant-based foods such as flaxseeds and walnuts was linked to a 10% reduction in cardiovascular disease risk and a 20% reduction in fatal coronary heart disease…

Photography by Giordano Katin-Grazzini.My passion is food. Nothing excites me more than coming across a sumptuous new dish from a faraway land or playing with some heady new spice. I love exploring culinary traditions and how inventive home cooks make delicious use of simple, humble foods. But as heat waves, droughts, wildfires, and floods upend so many lives and livelihoods in every corner of the world, I wondered and worried about what could be done.So, a few…
