A new study from Harvard researchers found that just one brisk walk a week could cut an older woman's risk of early death by nearly 70%. The study concludes that more physical activity, especially at increased intensities, could lead to an increase in life expectancy among older females.

Previous studies have found that self-reported active people have about 20 to 30% lower death rates than those who were least active.

This delightful children's book comes with an easy breathing snuggle breathing meditation. Four simple sentences that set the tone for each of these books in this series. Your children will come from a whole different space and time after the breathing exercise they choose to repeat out loud, then they go on an emotional ride seeing a perception from a dads point of view of how he doesn't know everything and keeps being too hard on himself.
