Rock’ And Roll’ Muscles
You should stretch before you work out,
right? Most people say yes, but it’s not
good to stretch cold muscles. First, you
should release the muscles by using a
foam roller (or anything round) to roll
your calves, thighs and upper back. If
you can’t roll, warm up your muscles
with some gentle cardio or a light jog.

But Who Counted Them?
Astronomers have put together a 9-
gigapixel picture that includes 173
million different objects, including 84
million that could be confirmed as stars.
If printed with the resolution of a book,
the image would measure 30 feet long
by 23 feet tall.
Medication Warning
Researchers are finding that
medications and supplements may
contain or be coated with plasticizing
chemicals (called phthalates) that can
lead to health problems. Keep an eye
out for delivery systems that are most
likely to use phthalates, such as
“delayed-release,”
“time-release,” and
“enteric
coatings.”
Best advice: Ask
your pharmacist if a phthalate-free
version of your medication is available.
Relieve Eye Pain In Seconds
Do you spend much of the day staring at a computer, sending text
messages on your phone, and ending the evening by watching a movie on a
high-definition TV? No wonder your eyes are tired! Here are four exercises
to relieve eye pain and make them not feel dry, itchy, blurred, and strained:
Eye Roll:
While keeping your eyes open and head still, roll your eyes
up to look at the ceiling, roll around clockwise slowly five times.
Repeat the motion counter clockwise.
Palming:
Rub the palms of your hands together until they are warm.
Cover your eyes and concentrate on your breath until your palms cool.
Massage:
Place your fingertips on your eyelids and gently move them
in a circular motion for 60 seconds.
Temple Turning:
Place the knuckles of your thumbs on the sides of
your eyes near the temples. Massage by circling the temples three
times. Do the same above the midpoint of your eyebrows and both
sides of the bridge of your nose.
It’s also a good idea to give your eyes a rest every 25 minutes spent
reading or sitting in front of back-lit screen (computer, tablet, phone, TV).
Simply get up and look around the room at other objects for 5 minutes.
Save $$$ On Designer Clothes
Men have been renting tuxedoes for decades, so why can’t women rent
a dress for a wedding or party? It’s easy with online dress rental services
like
RentTheRunway.com
. Simply pick the dress you want from over
25,000 available and have it delivered the next day. Then keep it for 4 or 8
days, and mail it back when you’re done. The rental cost is usually 10% of
the cost to buy a designer dress, with rentals from $50 to $350. Not to be
left out, guys now have more options for neckwear with tie rental services.
