(3:00) An article reviews what does and doesn't work for people when it comes to exercise. (15:00) Two groups were studied based on walking: 75 minutes once a week or 75 minutes over three days. The third group only participated in wellness discussions. Unfortunately, the takeaway people will cling to isn't particularly beneficial. (21:00) Sitting is the new smoking. A sedentary lifestyle is a deteriorating one. (23:00) Our bodies were meant to move! Your body doesn't know what day of the week it is; it just needs to know if you're doing something positive or negative to it that day. Your body needs motion, and more of it than some studies suggest! Turkey is not Vinnie's favorite meat. (33:00) Turducken may or may not be the answer. Sleep deprivation can affect cognitive function; however, according to one study, 20 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise performs as well as a 90-minute nap when you are sleep-deprived. (42:00) The Guardian reports that 25% or more of baby foods have too much sugar. (46:30) They discuss various commercials over the years and how ad companies handle certain subjects, like sweat and odor. (50:00) Marketing often centers on hygiene concerns and insecurities.
