Sometimes I find myself in a situation where I would like to take a nap, but I don’t have much time available. In these situations, what I need is a short 5 minute nap where I can just relax a little and then continue with what I was doing before. The only problem with short naps is knowing when to wake up. I could use an alarm clock but then I might fall asleep after 4 minutes and only get 1 minute… Read more

Last year I experimented with cold showers. It was summer and I enjoyed the sensation of cold water on my body during hot days, but then autumn arrived and I quit.

Now it’s summer again and I started to take cold showers again, but this time I did some research to see if there’s any health benefit of taking cold showers. It turns out that there are many of them…. Read more

I’ve been trying to make a top healthy-foods list for a while now. The thing is that there are many healthy foods out there so it’s hard to pick up a single list. However, I’ve done my research and I think I come up with something useful. The following is a list of what I consider the most healthy foods that are easily available to everyone. There may be other foods that are very healthy, but these… Read more

If you think that you don’t have enough time for exercising every day, you’re not alone. Many people have complained that it’s hard to find the time every day to go to the gym or to go out for a run. I don’t want to talk about how you could find that time if you really wanted to, as you probably know that already. Instead I would like to show how you can get a very decent workout in just 10 minutes… Read more

Everything we know about running is wrong, or at least, everything the running industry told us about running is wrong. I used to think that running injury-free was only a matter of having the right shoes, which one way or another I could never find. Each foot contains 26 joints, 33 bones and more than 100 muscles and tendons, which is quite a lot. And the goal of running shoes is to support that… Read more

These days we are all talking about pandemic, swine flu, vaccine. There’s a lot of confusion around this topic, and it’s difficult to find the truth. Is the vaccine secure? Should you worry about the flu? How many people will die? I’m the first to say that you can’t have an answer to all these question, but it surprises me to see that medias are so sure about what they are talking about. We have reached… Read more

Starting from today I will following the one hundred pushups challenge. For those who don’t know what it is, the one hundred pushups challenge is a six week program designed to help you do one hundred consecutive pushups starting from 0. When you visit the website (which is free), you’ll be asked to take an initial test to see where you currently are, and based on that you’ll follow your particular… Read more

Note: this is an article for people who smoke and wants to quit. If you don’t smoke, feel free to skip it or send a link to this post to a friend you know. I believe that anyone can quit smoking in three days without any difficulty if he/she knows the right method to do it. I know it because I’ve done it myself three years ago and it was so easy that I believe anyone can do it. Now, before you say… Read more

Wow, it has been one month since I posted a first look of the Vibram five fingers shoes. Since then, I used them extensively by keeping in mind this post so that I could provide a detailed review for those who want to know more. Now, if you don’t already know, Vibram five fingers are a particular type of shoes where each toe is getting is own pocket. They might look funny to you at first, but don’t… Read more

Today I bough for myself a new pair of vibram five fingers. These are a special kind of shoes that leave the sensation of walking barefoot. I choose the sprint model because they can be used in almost any situation from light trekking to running and walking. I first saw them on Tim Ferris’s website. I usually don’t buy things from instinct, but these shoes were on my head for several weeks so I decided… Read more
