Fitness Myths Debunked

Jessica Biel and Jennifer Garner's trainer sets the fitness record straight.

When it comes to the rules of fitness, we’ve heard them all. There are so many misconceptions about the “right” way to exercise that it becomes virtually impossible to know what we should actually believe.

Since Waters is responsible for both Jennifer Garner and Jessica Biel’s hot bodies, we’d say it's safe to trust her judgment. Read on to see what she has to say.

Why you need to relax at work: Job strain ups heart-attack risk in women

Women with very demanding jobs are nearly twice as likely to have a heart attack as their peers in more easygoing occupations, a new study suggests.

Researchers at Harvard Medical School analyzed 10 years of survey and medical data on more than 17,000 women in the health profession. The women, who were enrolled in a long-running study on heart disease, were all in their 50s or early 60s when the study began.

The women who said their job requires them to work "very hard" or "very fast" but who have little say over their day-to-day tasks–a combination known as "job strain"–were 88 percent more likely than those in less-stressful jobs to have a heart attack.

5 Strategies for Mindful Eating and a Healthier, Slimmer You

Nourishment is not just what you eat (good nutrition) but how you eat, too. That’s where the act of eating intersects the realm of the mind as well as the body, and why it’s so important to practice mindful eating in your every day.

Did you know that you’re likely to mindlessly dip your hand into the candy dish at work 70% more frequently if the dish is clear than if it’s opaque and covered resulting in an extra 77 calories consumed each day without even realizing? It’s true! But why is that? And, more importantly, how can we make simple changes to help us be more mindful?

When we know a little bit more about how to take charge of our external and internal environments, we can actually start to really enjoy our food more and feel ‘nourished’ without feeling stuffed. That’s what mindful—or conscious—eating is all about.
