Researchers compared aerobic training (like running or biking) and resistance training in 56 middle-aged Japanese women who didn't exercise much before. After 16 weeks, they found that both types of exercise made their skin more elastic (a sign of healthy skin) and improved its structure. However, resistance training had additional, noteworthy skin-boosting benefits that you won’t find in a bottle of fancy face lotion. Read the study above to learn more.   [How Technology Impairs Breathing]( Ever find yourself forgetting to breathe? You're responding to an email when a text comes in, followed by a work-related alert on your desktop, and then a phone call you just can’t decline. Many of us feel constantly bombarded with notifications and other stimuli via email, text, work apps, and more. This chronic state of alertness can be draining, even with non-stressful tasks. Researchers find that this constant stimulation, called "screen apnea," can lead to shallow, disrupted breathing. This article provides helpful tools to improve breathing habits in our screen-dominated lives.   [Everything You Need to Know About Aging Powerfully]( I'm so excited to be talking again with Cynthia Thurlow, NP, author of the Intermittent Fasting Transformation. She had me as a guest on her podcast for a wide-ranging conversation about weight-loss myths, the best foods that boost your metabolism, building and maintaining muscle, protein's importance, managing stress, and navigating perimenopause and menopause.
