3 second workouts?

Sounds crazy, but just 3 seconds of eccentric muscle exercise a day will produce significant gains in your muscle strength. Eccentric exercise is when you slowly let a weight down. I like to train with weights that are about 2/3rds of the max weight that I can lift.

Covid breath test being developed

Instead of shoving a swab up your nose and twirling it around, how about a simple breath test for covid that gives you a result in only 1 minute! Estimates are that this test will only cost around $10.

Pecans the new superfood

Evidence is accumulating that pecans are actually wonderful for us. They appear to counteract the effects of a high fat diet, sooth gut issues, and reduce inflammation. They even help you lose weight by increasing the energy burning of our brown fat and help normalize our insulin resistance. How many pecans you ask? Looks like about 22 to 25 pecan halves a day.
