To understand the new smart watches and other pro devices of recent focus we should look to Silicon Valley and the quantified movement of the latest generation. What the studies have in common is taking a circuit approach to resistance training, using heavy-but-manageable loads, alternately working multiple muscle groups, and rotating through the exercises with little or no rest in between. It can seem even more daunting when you want to incorporate strength training and the weights sections of your gym are crowded with muscle-y guys who are grunting and throwing dumbbells on the ground. Diana was also joined on…

The attack was carried out in retaliation for Israel’s attack on the Iranian portion of a large natural gas field spread across Iranian and Qatari territory, and was more of a warning shot than…

The “forever chemicals” known as PFAS are increasingly known to potentially have the following effects: They pose a number of threats, the latest of which may be to children’s bone health, according to new research. Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of approximately 15,000 synthetic chemicals commonly used in products such as clothing, nonstick cookware, firefighting foam, food packaging, carpeting, cleaning supplies, paints, stain repellents, and water repellents. These compounds do not break down in the environment and easily migrate into the air, dust, food, and soil, contaminating nearly half of the drinking water in the United States.…

The 2026 Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides in Produce found that leafy greens such as spinach and perennials such as children’s favorites strawberries and grapes contained the highest levels of potentially harmful pesticide residues, based on government testing. Nectarines, peaches, cherries, apples, blackberries, pears, potatoes and blueberries were the fruits and vegetables most heavily treated with pesticides on this year’s “Dirty Dozen,” according to a report released Tuesday by the environmental working group (EWG), a health advocacy group. According to EWG, which has been publishing annual reports since 2004, spinach, which holds the top spot, has more pesticide residues by weight…

Approximately 40% of non-organic fruits and vegetables grown in California contain trace amounts of pesticides, which are also PFAS (“forever chemicals”), according to a new study. California supplies nearly half of the vegetables and more than three-quarters of the fruits and nuts consumed in the United States. Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are called “forever chemicals” because the strong molecular bonds of carbon and fluoride can take years, decades, or even centuries to completely break down in the environment. It is estimated that there are approximately 15,000 fluorinated chemicals (PFAS) in existence today. “PFAS pesticides are the active ingredients in…
