'He was best at unconditional love': Obituary for golden retriever named Charlie goes viral
A Loving-Kindness Mediation For Deep Healing of Ourselves and Others <3
For her book The Nature Fix: Why Nature Makes Us Happier, Healthier, and More Creative, journalist Florence Williams synthesized the wealth of global research being done on the link between cognition and the environment. While she says two hours a week exploring physical nature is ideal and can have profound effects, even smaller doses of natural elements indoors can do favorably funny things.
“For instance, natural daylight is like 10 to 100 times brighter than artificial daylight and affects our circadian rhythms.” So along with logging those precious walks in the morning to regulate your sleep cycles, orient your desk closer to a window. “Look outside it when you remember or just add a ‘Look up!’ reminder to your phone. These moments are a kind of micro-restoration for your brain and seem to boost creativity and productivity.”
Those breaks could include cracking open the window, reaching for binoculars, and scanning the sky. “Something happens when we hear birds, something deeply evolved in us,” Williams says, as a flock sings in the background of our call. “There’s no predator around, there’s no big storm coming, all is right with the world.” In the absence of a window, you can always fall back on the loon and sparrow calls from a white noise app.

What Is a Zero-Drop Shoe?
Start by visualizing a pair of stilettos. Those are the exact opposite of zero-drop shoes. "When we talk about a zero-drop shoe, we're talking about the angle between your heel and your toe when it's in a shoe," explains podiatrist Emily Splichal, D.P.M. Most shoes—heels, sneakers, work shoes, etc.—place your heel higher than your toes, and therefore have some drop. Zero-drop shoes position your toes and heel so that they're level, she explains. This puts your foot in the same position as if you were pawing around with bare feet.

What's the Deal with Zero-Drop Shoes?
More of us than ever are stuck indoors, whether we are working at home, self-isolating, or socially distancing from other households. Long periods of isolation are already impacting many people’s mental health and will continue to do so.
On the other hand, people have reported discovering outdoor spaces on their doorstep as they are forced to stay local. Many say they have felt happier for doing so.
This reinforces the surge of research exploring the psychological benefits of connecting to nature that has developed in recent years. The idea is also growing that encouraging time in and engagement with nature has enormous potential in terms of mental health and well-being.

How much time do you spend sitting each day? If you're like most people, more than half of your waking hours are spent parked on a chair or sofa. Even if you dedicate at least 30 minutes a day to structured exercise (such as brisk walking, cycling, or swimming), it's still important to get up and move for at least a few minutes, many times throughout the day.
"The more you sit, the more your large muscles are not using glucose, the body's main energy source. Uninterrupted sitting can cause blood sugar levels to rise, triggering the release of insulin, the hormone that regulates blood sugar," says Dr. Hicham Skali, a cardiologist with Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women's Hospital. Over time, sedentary habits cause the body to become less sensitive to insulin. The resulting insulin resistance promotes inflammation, a key player in the buildup of fatty plaque inside arteries, he explains.

On motivating them to get outside (and off their screens)
“We just don’t give them the choice,” says Tommy. “We just say, ‘Here’s what we’re going to do. We’re going to go climb a mountain or paddle this river.’ We just get them outside.” Adds Polly: “Just make them go. We always told them, ‘This is the plan for the day.’ They’d whine, but by the time we were all out doing whatever activity, they wouldn’t want to come home. Everyone’s happier when we’re being active outdoors as a family.”
And the harder the activity, the better, says Tommy. “If it’s something that requires focus, they don’t even think about it. If it’s a mellow trail or something, they might not want to go. But if it’s technical, like climbing, skiing or kayaking, they’re all over it. I think kids can learn a lot from being uncomfortable outside and then persevering and getting that reward, whether it’s an untracked powder field or nailing a line in a rapid. You can’t get that from school.”

One of the best things about walking is you can do it anywhere, anytime making a workout accessible no matter where you go. But, any experienced walker knows not all walking surfaces are created equal where your joints are concerned.
When it comes to choosing where you’ll walk, you want to consider both terrain and texture, says Katy Bowman, MS, a biomechanist and co-creator of Walking Well. “The degree of incline or decline would be an example of terrain, and bumps are examples of texture,” she explains. ”Each combination of these moves uses different muscles.”
Overall, it’s a good idea to switch up your walking surfaces to get the most well-rounded body you can and prevent injury. “Just like being a good musician means being able to play lots of different pieces of music, a robust walker can cover many different textures and terrains,” says Bowman.

Why is Black History Month important?
Woodson believed it was essential for young African Americans to understand and be proud of their heritage.
“Those who have no record of what their forebears have accomplished lose the inspiration which comes from the teaching of biography and history," he said.
Before the country can move past racial harm, there needs to be “truth, then accountability and then maybe reconciliation," said Dionne Grayman, who trains schools to have difficult conversations about race.
Failing to understand the history of race and racism and a strong desire to overlook the worst aspects of racist violence in the United States has fueled resentment toward civil rights activism, said Dan Hirschman, an assistant professor of sociology at Brown University in Rhode Island.

Everyone knows that exercise is one of the best things you can do for your health. But most people ignore one crucial component of it: resistance training. According to federal researchers, only 6 percent of adults do the recommended minimum amount of at least two muscle-strengthening workouts each week. Neglecting resistance training – any type of workout that builds strength and muscle – is a big mistake. It increases your metabolism, lowers your body fat and protects you from some of the leading causes of early death and disability. You don’t have to lift like a bodybuilder (or look like one) to benefit from resistance training.

How to Get Strong
Listening is often more helpful than talking. But if you’re going to open your mouth, ask yourself if what you are about to say is likely to provide comfort and support. If it isn’t, don’t say it. Don’t, for example, give advice. People who are suffering from trauma don’t need advice. They need comfort and support. So say, “I’m sorry” or “This must really be hard for you” or “Can I bring you a pot roast?”
