Here's a fascinating tidbit, from CNN's Jacque Wilson: "The average human head weighs 10 pounds in a neutral position--when your ears are over your shoulders. For every inch you tilt your head forward, the pressure on your spine doubles. So if you're looking at a smartphone in your lap, your neck is holding up what feels like 20 or 30 pounds."
What to do? Try holding your phone up higher next time you're texting or sending an email on your phone, say experts so

Over the years, we've reported on lots of health benefits associated with drinking red wine. But wait, does this new study debunk them all?
Yes there are antioxidants in red wine (lots of them in fact), and yes antioxidants have been linked with a reduced risk of many chronic diseases, including heart disease and cancer. But, now researchers in Barcelona say that red wine may not have as many health benefits as previously thought.

In their study, they tested the results of red wine, non-alcoholic red wine, and mixed drinks, and found that the non-alcoholic red wine fared best in reducing people's blood pressure and ultimately warding off heart disease.
What's going on here? The researchers speculate that the alcohol in wine could impede the absorption of the beneficial antioxidants. Yep, according to their findings, grape juice is probably a better option.
Harumph.

Jessica Simpson has revealed her little trick for staying on track while exercising...

Do you have a "treadmill show"--or do you watch TV while you're at the gym? Jessica's right: watching TV while running or on an elliptical machine can distract you from watching the numbers tick-tock on your machine, and help keep you from getting bored. It can also cause motion sickness (that's happened to me before!), and I've heard people say things like, "If you can focus on a TV show to follow what's going on, you're not working hard enough." And TVs can apparently even be the source of gym turmoil (like when someone who's forgotten her headphones turns up the TV volume super-high).

"Not only do they boast 7 grams of protein and 6 grams of fiber per cup, they're also proven to keep you full," says Cooking Light's Karen Ansel. "When researchers fed volunteers different kinds of protein 30 minutes before a meal, volunteers who ate pea protein felt fuller and ate less at mealtime. Toss them in pasta or rice for a quick protein and fiber fix. Here's an example of a tasty pea recipe."
