What is a Himalayan salt lamp? Himalayan salt lamps are made from pink salt crystals mined from the edge of the Himalayan Mountains—the only place where you can acquire authentic Himalayan pink salt. However, the lamps themselves range in color from light pink to pink with an orange hue, depending on the mineral concentration. The pink Himalayan salt crystals are mined, then hollowed out and fitted with a bulb to provide both light and heat. Himalayan salt rock lamps also come in baskets of crystal salt blocks with a light underneath. People use these salt crystal lamps for a number of different reasons; Their soothing, pink glow can stimulate deep relaxation. They make an attractive and organic-feeling addition to home décor, creating a more balanced and mindful space. For these purposes alone salt lamps make a welcome addition to almost any home. Himalayan salt lamps can help you create a more mindful space in your home. But did you know there are als...

Benjamin Franklin once said there are three certainties in life: death, taxes, and too much fitness information. Ok, he didn't say that last one, but it's still true. Fitness is overwhelming. We compensate by making mindless decisions that actually leave us vulnerable. Let's look at three ways we can prevent ourselves from falling victim to our own psychology and marketers. Relying on Marketing Language to Determine a Food's Healthfulness Why It's Wrong:  Low sodium, low fat, low carb, organic, gluten free...there are countless labels that food marketers use to convey healthfulness. But what about those titles make them healthy? Nothing really does, because "healthy" is contextual. Why It's Particularly Bad:  While consuming foods with the above labels may seem innocuous, it creates a potentially harmful way to look at food. The problem lies in something researchers call  the health halo . Dr. Yoni Freedhoff of the Weighty Matters blog e...

Running in the heart of a metropolitan city can be a lot different than running in a quiet neighborhood or  on a trail . The scenery can be an obstacle in its own right, and there are potential dangers that lurk literally around every corner. Fortunately, if you know how to navigate them, running in the city can be a great way to stay in shape. First: Always Practice the Basics Running safely in the inner city isn’t  that  different when it comes down to the basics. It is still the same form of exercise, after all; you’re just doing it in an area that’s less conducive to it. So don’t forget the little things that keep you safe everywhere: Stay alert and keep your eyes up so you can spot any hazards around you Look both ways before crossing a street (duh) If there’s a designated jogging path or sidewalk, use it Keep your distance from the curb or road as much as you can Wear bright colors, or even reflectors (especially at night) Also, don’t forget some of...

If you’re like most men living and working in a techno-service economy, you probably spend a good deal of your day sitting down. You go from the kitchen table to your desk at work to your chair in front of the TV. But as we’ve discussed before, spending most of your waking hours planted on your keister is terrible for your health. You’ve probably experienced those moments when you get up from a sitting position and your butt feels numb and your hips feel so tight that you have to lean forward at the waist just to walk. Excessive sitting leaves your hips and legs tight and your glutes inactive. Even after you stand up, the ill effects of sitting stay with you and may prevent your butt muscles from firing at an optimal level when you really need them – like when you suddenly need to chase down a purse snatcher! Some fitness experts argue that sitting causes muscles in the hip area to physically shorten (and stay shorter), even after you stand up. While there are no scient...

It is a grey January morning in a gym near Leicester and Madeley, a former TV presenter turned personal trainer and  Instagram phenomenon  – and the daughter of daytime telly pairing Richard Madeley and Judy Finnegan – is trying gamely to teach me the correct posture for squats with weights. Bum stuck out, shoulders pinned back, move from the hips. None of this is dignified. It is also killing my hamstrings, although there is only a wimpy 5kg weight on the bar I am lifting, compared with the 60kg she usually manages. But Madeley is kind, funny and ridiculously encouraging. Half an hour of pumping iron with her leaves me in an unexpectedly good mood. My head feels clearer, lighter. And there is something very appealing about the insouciance with which she strolls through the weights area, past all the men in sleeveless Ts doing press-ups. Once upon a time, gyms divided rigidly by gender: treadmills and pilates classes for the ladies; grunting men lifting weights by the m...
