Probably not a surprise to many. Higher intensity exercise on a stationary bike makes time pass slower. Bottom line, pick an #exercise you enjoy and do it in a way you enjoy doing it. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

💯 While people like me promote #exercise for lifelong health benefits (which are important), you're only going to exercise if you enjoy it. Fortunately an improvement in mood is on of the immediate effects of exercise and activity.

Your closet is filled with plastic in clothes that when washed gets released into the water system and food chain. To reduce the release of these microplastics: ⭐️buy clothes with natural fibres ⭐️wash clothes less often ⭐️hang dry ⭐️use washing bag fortune.com/well/2025/04/2…

By the age of 40, half of people will either have had a mental illness or will be dealing with one. This is more than how many people are affected by heart disease or cancer, yet care for mental illness pales in comparison. We need to do better. #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth

Today's ultra-processed junk food is carefully engineered to mimic the appearance of real, nourishing food from our past—tricking our brains into believing it's healthy. It's not. What other modern "foods" come to mind that pretend to be something they're not? h/t Wall Street Mav

It's not.

Can you start exercising later in life? Yes! If you've never exercised before, the best time to start is now. In this blog I discuss how physical activity changes with age, why people #exercise and the benefits of exercise at any age. #FitnessMotivation drscottlear.com/2025/05/08/whe…
