Things I’m Up to and Interested In

Editorial every MD should read: “More clarity needed on the true benefits and risks of statins.”

Product that keeps ending up in my mouth: Our new Primal Kitchen Chocolate Hazelnut Bar, which is like a better, chewier version of Nutella that doesn’t leave you weeping with regret at 3 AM in a pile of empty jars.

Articles I’m flabbergasted had to be written: “Let’s face it, keeping children sedentary for most of their waking hours is causing harm.”

News I enjoyed: People are Googling the hell out of turmeric, kefir, and other functional foods.

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

If you’re looking for a one-stop shop to organize your digital life, check out Evernote!

And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
