Facebook For Organs
Since Facebook announced last week that users can add “Organ Donor” as a life event on their timeline, more than 100,000 users have updated their profiles. CEO Mark Zuckerberg said he hopes this change will help increase the number of organ donors across the world. It looks like it’s working so far! Via Huffington Post
Long Live The Jog
The benefits of jogging are seemingly endless, and if you haven’t yet added it into your fitness regime, now’s the time. A recent study found that women who regularly hit the pavement lived 5.6 years longer than women who didn’t. Relieve stress, slim down, and live longer? Sounds like a no-brainer. Via MSNBC
Nonexistent Normal
What exactly does normal mean when it comes to your down-there health? According to a new study, there’s no such thing. Researchers examined the bacteria levels in different women over extended periods of time and found that no two vaginas are the same. Via Healthland
Get A Body Like B
After giving birth to Blue Ivy four short months ago, Beyonce looks GOOD. Her live-in trainer spoke out about how she got her groove back. She combines cardio and plyometric moves, eats six small meals a day, loads up on protein, and shuns processed foods. Via Fit Perez
Genetic Meat-Lovers
If you can’t stand pork, the reason could be found in your genes. A new study suggestions the possibility of a crazy genetic predisposition against meat. Researchers found that certain people have two copies of a gene that allows them to detect a smelly odor that might make meat seem a lot less appealing. Via The Wall Street Journal
Liar, Liar
Honesty is always the best policy—or so we thought. Research shows that being a good liar increases your ability to detect when others are lying by 20 percent. Want to detect a fibber? Look for these five signs: Inconsistent behavior, an overly-steady gaze, written tells, mouth-muffling, and a quick smile. Via Prevention
