13 Reasons To Run Outside
1. Just five minutes of running outside can make you feel better about life.
One of the best reasons to run outside, All it takes is five minutes of outdoor exercise to see improvements in self-esteem and mood, according to a U.K. study. The people who saw the biggest impact were the young and those suffering from mental illness. The study also found that the effect was greatest in environments where water was present.
2. Those five minutes may also help you live longer.

Even 5 to 10 minutes of slow running (less than 6 miles per hour) can reduce your risk of death from all causes, including cardiovascular disease, concluded a study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, published in August 2014.
3. Exercise also makes you happy. And the more you do it, the happier it makes you.

Sure it’s easy to reach for the ice cream when you’re feeling down, but reaching for your sneakers will make you feel better, and not just in the short term. In one 12-week study, participants who exercised saw an improvement in their physical and mental health both immediately and at the one-year follow-up. A later study found that “regular exercisers have approximately twice the [mood improvement] effect as nonexercisers.” So if you don’t feel the mood boost the first time, try, try again.
4. You might even improve your memory and attention — just from being outside.

Most of us agree that there’s something just kinda nice about being in the great outdoors, but it turns out it’s even nicer than we think. Just an hour spent interacting with nature can improve memory performance and attention spans by 20%, according to a December 2008 study at the University of Michigan. If you’re really abandoned in the middle of a concrete jungle, at least put on the nature channel when you’re on the treadmill. The study found similar improvements in memory and attention among participants just from looking at pictures of nature scenes.
5. You’ll also get the vitamin D you need for strong bones.

Sunlight is important to our bodies — we need it to create and activate vitamin D, which is important for our bone health. And it may even help fight conditions including osteoporosis, cancer, depression, and heart attacks, according to Harvard Health Publications.
6. And thanks to wind resistance, you’ll get a better workout.
The wind in your hair means you’re exercising harder and so, getting more out of your workout. At the same pace, you’ll burn more calories when you run outside than on a treadmill, according to a 1996 study. (If you must use a treadmill, increase the incline to 1% to simulate the outdoors.)
7. And if you listen to music, you’re doing yourself an extra health service.
Music can have huge impacts on our physical and mental health, wrote Dr. Oliver Sacks, a Clinical Professor of Neurology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York. And listening to music during exercise might also improve performance, the New York Times reported in 2010. But keep in mind: The biggest impacts were seen in lower intensity workouts because the harder you’re exercising, the less distracted you will be by the tunes. “The noise of the body drowns all other considerations.”
8. Running outside is also A LOT quicker than going to the gym.

Going to the gym means spending the time going there, coming back, swiping your membership card, putting your stuff in a locker, taking it out of the locker, talking to the weird guy who won’t leave you alone, and at some point in between all that, working out. Running outside starts as soon as you walk out the door, you can leave your stuff in your room, and nobody will try to talk to you because now, you’re actually moving.
9. (And a heckuva lot cheaper.)

Nature is for everyone! Nature is free!
10. Exercising outdoors makes you more likely to want to keep exercising.

In 2011, researchers found that participants who exercised outdoors were more likely to say they wanted to do it again. And though the review noted that high quality data was lacking, this finding was supported by a 2012 study that found that older adults that exercised outdoors exercised more than those who exercised indoors.
11. Maybe that’s because exercising outdoors just ~feels~ better.
Though researchers said studies on the topic were sparse, a 2011 review of available data found that, exercising in natural environments was connected to “greater feelings of revitalization and positive engagement, decreases in tension, confusion, anger, and depression, and increased energy.” In 2012, the Telegraph reported that, according to a University of Glasgow study, the mental health boost from outdoor exercise was TWICE that of indoor exercise.
12. A good run in the morning may help burn off the steak you have for dinner that night.
The effects of exercise can last all day. Once you’ve gotten comfortable with the short jogs, make them longer for a bigger payoff: Vigorous exercise for 45 minutes can boost your metabolism for the next 14 hours, according to a 2011 study.
13. And listen, it’s not winter…YET.
Soon enough, the temperatures will drop, the snow will arrive, and you’ll need 17 layers of clothing just to go outside. Enjoy the warm weather while it lasts, it's one of the best reasons to run outside .

12 Ways fast food companies fool you into eating more junk
If you think the decision to go to Mc D's this morning was yours, think again.
1. They make it cheaper to buy "menus" than individual items.

| They make menus cheaper |
Studies have shown that people eat a lot more when their meals are "varied" than when they consist of a single dish. So a customer consumes more calories when their fried chicken brings a mashed potatoes to the side than when simply comes more chicken.
2. They use artificial odors to make you think you're hungry when you're not really hungry.

That scent of cinnamon floating around the mall is not an accident.
3. They change the meaning of basic words like "big".
4. They know that watching a meal "can stimulate unplanned consumption," even when you are not hungry.
5. They keep adding cheese.
They continue to add cheese...
Collaborations between the fast-food and dairy industries make more cheese in everything. As Dairy Management director Tom Gallagher wrote in a 2009 trade publication: "If every pizza had an ounce more cheese, we would sell an additional 250 million pounds of cheese each year."
6. Transform the cup holders into food carriers.

They transform the cup holders into food carriers, and the car becomes the new dinning room.
7. Their restaurants are designed to make us eat too much and too fast.
Everything in a fast food restaurant makes us clean our trays faster than we normally would. The red color, the strong light, the bustle and the permanent smell make us believe that we are more hungry and in a hurry than we really are. (And as we all know, eating too fast, eats too much).
8. They put salt, sugar and fat in the foods they sell as healthy.
They put salt, sugar and fat in the foods they sell as healthy.
Did you think your chicken, apple and nut salad was a responsible decision? With 27 g of fat, 1350 mg of sodium and 37 g of sugar, Wendy's lower calorie salad is anything but healthy. It has more fat than its Double Stack hamburger (25g), more sodium than its 10 pieces of chicken nuggets (870mg) and more sugar than its vanilla ice cream cone (34g).
9. Eliminate the walk from the eating experience.
They eliminate the walk from the dining experience.The easier we get to food, the safer we will not eat it. While self-service for cars means you no longer have to get out of the car to buy a hamburger, home delivery means you do not even have to leave the house.
10. They believe that buying a HAPPY BOX is just like helping sick children.
They believe that buying a HAPPY BOX is just like helping sick children. As detailed in a recent report, " Paying for Charity," McDonald's has made a lot of money by convincing its customers that by buying a hamburger they are donating for charities. In 2010, for example, the chain declared that it would donate the "profits" of all the happy boxes sold to the Ronald Mcdonald Foundation. But it turns out that "profits" meant to them "a penny".
11. Transformed the soda into accompaniment.

They transformed the soda in accompaniment.
Before Coca-Cola was included in the menus, many fast-food customers did not buy it. But when they began to include it with hamburgers and chips, soda sales soared. According to Jeffrey Dunn, Director of Coca Cola a long time ago, "From 1980 until at least 2000, that was Coca Cola's predominant marketing strategy to increase consumption at fast food stores."
12. They seduced us from a young age.
 |
They seduced us since childhood.
Because our eating habits begin to form before we take our first steps, what we eat as children, can determine what we will consume as adults. So when fast food companies attract kids with toys, playgrounds, cartoons and very famous clowns, they are not just selling Happy Boxes: They are creating customers for life.
