I am not normally a sucker for scams, like “Heat your home for pennies a day,” or “Earn thousands by stuffing candy boxes for Amazon.” These are easy to ignore, especially when the email address contains more than a few curious terms after the ‘.com’ part of the address. That said, if a trusted source sends me an email that seems somewhat too good to be true, I feel I should have a look.
Today’s one liner is the subject line of an email from my healthcare provider. The people connecting me with my doctors, my pharmacy and the hospital that I visited via the emergency room.
Don’t take me for a total fool. I didn’t open that email with any expectations of greasy fried things, things that come in foil bags or things that can be dipped in high-calorie yet delicious tubs of creamy goodness. I wasn’t expecting ice cream, chocolate or alcohol to be a component. Still, I was curious about what these learned individuals consider a snack that might actually be good for me.
What I wasn’t expecting was a despicable play on words—an abuse of the English language—a breach of trust between me and an organization I previously had come to trust.
Exercise “Snacking” Your Way to Better Health
My Healthcare Provider
Who doesn’t love a snack? Especially a savory bite or a little something that satisfies your sweet tooth. There’s a new type of “snack” that fitness folks are talking about, and it might go a long way toward mitigating the effects of those extra calories.
While the benefits of a dedicated exercise plan are well known, it’s often difficult to fit a bike ride or hike into your daily schedule. Exercise “snacking” is a quick and easy way to improve your health through physical activity.
Researchers have found that individuals who engage in short bursts of exercise throughout the day – even just a few minutes at a time – can reap health benefits regarding muscle strength and cardiovascular health.
