When To Exercise
I’m often asked when is the most beneficial time to exercise? Well personally I enjoy working out first thing in the morning. But according to leading physiologist Mike Doherty who conducted research on a group of elite swimmers, the immune system can be compromised at different times of the day – and often in the morning. However, whilst it is true to say that the immune system is often compromised in elite athletes due to their intense levels of training, it is most unlikely to occur as a result of ordinary levels of activity such as we perform in the gym or the swimming pool before work in the morning.
What I Wish I’d Known About Sex At 25
In 1959 I married aged 19 so at the age of 25 I was in the thick of having babies and looking after young children. Back then, in the Fifties, sex was not discussed in public, and sex was for producing babies.
The Piano Lesson
Since I was a little girl I have been interested in all forms of movement and music. I badly wanted to learn Piano to be able to play music. However, my strict father would not give me the opportunity to take lessons, nor be persuaded to buy me a piano. I must have been 6 or 7 when my best friend Wendy began regular piano lessons. I was very jealous and keen to play that I would call for her immediately after her piano lesson to “come out to play”. With an ulterior motive I would persuade her to take me into her house so she could teach ME what she had just been taught! This arrangement was not a success.
Winter Skin Care
The skin on your face can suffer and feel quite uncomfortable in the wintertime and unfortunately as we age the problem seems to get worse. Caring for skin, particularly facial skin is vital during the wintertime. Men and women need protection from extreme temperatures, both the exposure to cold winds and rain, and the heat and dryness of fires and central heating.
