C25K App Helps You Run 5K
The C25K app helps you run 5K in eight weeks, with 30 to 40 minutes of daily workouts three days per week. C25K acts like a personal trainer, as the app has an audio coach that gives an alert when it's time to run and when it’s time to walk. It starts with a brisk five-minute warm-up, alternates between 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of brisk walking for 20 minutes, and finishes with a five-minute cool down. As the workouts progress, it increases the running time and reduces the walking time. Learn more » |

Mushrooms Provide as Much Vitamin D as Supplements
Researchers from the Boston University School of Medicine have discovered that eating mushrooms containing vitamin D2 can be as effective at increasing and maintaining vitamin D levels as taking supplemental vitamin D2 or D3. The findings recently were presented at the annual meeting of the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and will appear in Dermato-Endocrinology.
Vitamin D is crucial for good bone health and muscle strength; adequate amounts help the body maintain bone density, reducing the risk of fracture, osteomalacia, osteoarthritis, and osteoporosis. The nutrient also plays an integral role in modulating the immune system to help fight infections such as the flu and reduces the risk of many common diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, depression, and diabetes.
For the randomized study, 30 healthy adults took capsules containing 2,000 IU of vitamin D2, 2,000 IU of vitamin D3, or 2,000 IU of mushroom powder containing vitamin D2 once per day for 12 weeks during the winter.
