- In the world of exercise, slow running is the new "big thing", backed by a growing number of new scientific studies. Here's the latest science on it:
- Slow running is running at a pace that allows you to hold a comfortable conversation
- Scientists say slow running can both improve and extend your life
- According to researchers at Anglia Ruskin University, it reduces resting blood pressure and promotes a stronger heart
- Scientists in Copenhagen found light & moderate joggers had a lower mortality rate than both non-joggers and strenuous runners
- Slow running has a myriad of benefits:
- Improves the strength & pumping capacity of the heart
- Boosts your health at the molecular level
- Fights off metabolic disease by improving insulin resistance
- Increases density of mitochondria (the energy storers) inside your cells and encourages the body to use fat for energy
- Makes you feel better

- A Eotvos Lorand University study has revealed the best way to train dogs. Here's what we know:
- It was previously believed that emotionally charged social events are better remembered by dogs
- Current research using family dogs and real-life situations has shown the best method to train your dog
- Success measurements show that dogs provided with tangible rewards and emotional support did the best
- Bottom line: dogs learn better when rewarded with food, praise and petting
- My Weimaraner Brewster may learn best when given treats, petting and praise, but has a convenient learning lapse when asked to abstain from his favorite pastimes like chasing rabbits and stealing food off the counters.
