Sitting...*

Sitting too much can take a serious toll on your health, even raise your risk of early death. But if you're stuck in your chair at a desk job all day, a new study suggests you can reverse the damage.

Most of the people studied were over 45 and from the U.S., Western Europe and Australia. The scientists divided up data, those who were in motion less than five minutes a day to those who were able to fit in 60 to 75 minutes of physical activity per day.

Their activities included brisk walking (at about a 3.5 mph pace) or cycling for pleasure (at almost a 10 mph pace).

The increased risk of death linked with sitting for eight hours a day was eliminated for people who were physically active for at least one hour a day.
What's more, the eight-hour-a-day sitters who exercised had a significantly lower risk of death compared to people who sat for fewer hours a day but weren't active, the authors found.

The researchers say what they found was a simple recipe for better health. "Our message is a positive one: it is possible to reduce - or even eliminate - these risks if we are active enough, even without having to take up sports or go to the gym," the study's lead researcher, Ulf Ekelund, of the Norwegian School of Sport Sciences, said in a statement.

What is killing you?     Just a thought.

Resorts...

The U.S. State Department is alerting travelers to Mexico about possible tainted or counterfeit alcohol that could cause sickness and blacking out. The department cautioning vacationers who choose to drink alcohol to “do so in moderation and to stop and seek medical attention if you begin to feel ill.”

Abbey Connor, a 20-year-old from Pewaukee, died in January after being pulled listless from a pool at the Paraiso del Mar, part of a cluster of Iberostar resorts near Playa del Carmen, Mexico. She was brain dead, and a few days later was flown to Florida, where she was taken off life support.

A 2015 report from Mexico’s Tax Administration Service found that 43% of all the alcohol consumed in the nation is illegal, produced under unregulated circumstances resulting in potentially dangerous concoctions. Just a thought.

A Must...

If you haven't seen any ancient artifacts, this is a must.

Surveillance...*

C. Tarui, a 34-year-old adviser to large institutional investors in Bridgewater, contends that his male supervisor sexually harassed him by propositioning him for sex and talking about sex during work trips. He said, several Bridgewater top managers sought to pressure him to rescind his claims. 

  

The National Labor elations Board filed a separate complaint against Bridgewater. The complaint says that the company “has been interfering with, restraining and coercing employees from exercising their rights through confidentiality agreements that all employees are required to sign when they are hired.

It is routine for recordings of contentious meetings to be archived and later shown to employees as part of the company’s policy of learning from mistakes. One video showed to new employees that was of a confrontation several years ago between top executives and a woman who was a manager at the time, who breaks down crying.  

The employee’s complaint of atmosphere of constant surveillance by video and recordings of all meetings and the presence of patrolling security guards that silence employees who do not fit the Bridgewater mold.  

Adding sexual issue to any thing flames it up more.   Just a thought.  

Tabata...

Inactivity has been dubbed the biggest public health problem of the 21st century. The latest reports suggest that around the world it was responsible for 5.3 million deaths in 2008 – around one in 10 – more deaths than smoking.

Not only does exercise make you fitter, it can also ward off numerous and often unexpected diseases, from heart attacks, to diabetes, some forms of cancer and dementia. There are tentative signs it might even make you cleverer, by boosting cognitive performance and brain function.

Latest government guidelines recommend adults under 65 should do 150 minutes of moderate physical activity every week, in bouts of at least 10 minutes. Worryingly, only a fraction of the population manages even that. In the UK just 14% of adults exercise regularly.

However, a growing number of sports scientists advocate brief intensive training sessions to achieve the same health gains. The latest class to hit London's is called Tabata,
