Leptin and Weight Loss – Maria Mind Body Health

Did you ever wonder why it is easier to gain weight than keeping it off? The key to this is in the fat cells where a powerful hormone is produced called leptin.

I am the only female in my high school PE department. It’s been this way for 20 years. The one time another female came in she tried to out-alpha the football coach and got removed from teaching PE and placed in Health. I think she might have taught one section of PE in the two years she was here, and I think it was Adapted PE. Since we’ve had a fully working weight room, it was always paired with the football coach. We got a new one this year, the fifth in my tenure working at this same high school.…

Today there are more schools, more leagues, more programs, more changes to personnel, and of course more options on how people spend their time. My hope is that…

Jacksonville small business owners hope you shop locally

There are just two weeks left before Christmas, and small businesses hope shoppers consider buying locally. The Pop Up in the Park: Holiday Market at James Weldon Johnson Park was a day full of local vendors. “If you come down and you buy from the people who live here, the people, the artists, the partisans who build things locally, you’re supporting the local community,” said Chris Gresham, co-Owner of 215DesignsJax. “And it’s not going to be something that’s in the store. It’s very unique, personal, and special,” said Dianne Woods, owner of Jim and Bunny Handcrafted Soap. With Christmas coming…
