New Exercise: Gyrotronics, or Gyrotonics

Filed Under Health, News | 1 Comment

The new wave of exercising has everyone participating in Gyrotronics, or Gyrotonics as it is more commonly called.  The method is developed by Julio Horvath and basically combines a bunch of popular workouts such as yoga, ballet, tai chi, gymnastics, and even resistance training.  The main effective ingredient of Gyrotronics is the Gyrotonic Expansion System, or GXS.   The exercise is very new, so visit the Gyrotonic website if you are interested in learning more.  Oh, and the exercise has nothing to do with eating a Gyro unfortunately.

Everybody is eating chia seeds.

Before you go crazy grabbing Scooby Doo Chia Pet to start eating it for an afternoon snack, be forewarned that you really shouldn’t be eating the chia seeds that come with your chia pet. I know, it sounds like fun, but the only chia seeds that are supposed to be good for you are organic chia seeds.

I almost began to laugh when I first read about this story, because there wasn’t really much emphasis put on the fact that people shouldn’t be eating the seeds that come with your chia-pets from Walgreens or whatever. The news stories floating around out there basically said “eat chia seeds, for they are good!”.. or something like that.
