Throughout history, there have been six massive extinctions on Earth, each caused by different catastrophic events. Humans have become the dominant species and our actions have led to the current sixth mass extinction. Species are dying out at an alarming rate, and if our destructive trend persists, half of all living species could be extinct in the next 100 years. To help prevent this, we can all take action to reduce our footprint on the planet by composting, recycling, starting an edible garden, eating less meat, and walking or biking instead of driving. It's important to remember that every one of us is part of this world and our actions have an impact on the world around us.

These are things that money can’t buy, and result in a long lasting joy from within.

The more porn you watch, the more it will take to get aroused and your brain will become numb to sexual images.

High Intensity Interval Training, or HIIT, enjoys the benefits of both steady cardio AND weight lifting. The body burns fat 3x faster than steady cardio, while building muscle at the same time. Weight lifting alone does little to burn fat, and steady cardio, like jogging, does little to build muscle. During HIIT, The back and forth of explosive activity to rest causes muscle confusion and the body responds by growing muscle rapidly. At the same time the heart rate will skyrocket, burning glucose and giving you an excellent cardio session in a very short period of time. What’s probably most fascinating about HIIT is what happens after the workout is over. HIIT creates a strong excess post-oxygen consumption effect, where the body continues to consume oxygen after the workout in order to recover the muscles back to their preworkout state. So the body revs up the metabolism and keeps burning calories and fat during recovery and this effect can last up to 24 hours after the workout is don
