Make These Hard-to-Digest Foods Easy on the Tummy

It’s not a stomach of steel you’re after. You don’t need to be able to devour a bowl of spicy chili without even a single burp. You’d be happy with a stomach that could handle a simple apple. Unfortunately every body is different, and some of us are born with sensitive stomachs, but you don’t have to take it lying down (or in the bathroom). Some foods are harder to digest...

What Happens During Savasana in Your Class?

The final resting pose in a yoga class known as Savasana is so relaxing, but FitSugar reader bigestivediscuit shared an especially relaxing experience in the Yoga Stretch and Tell community group. Last night I had a nearly orgasmic moment on the train ride home when the breeze coming through the hot subway carriage’s window made the China gel my yoga instructor had massaged into my neck during...

I found a new running buddy in my neighborhood, and let’s just say that she’s much more hard-core than I. I led her through a leisurely 35-minute run, and the next day, it was her turn to lead. She had us running up every hill in the woodsy trails near our homes. By the end, we had run for over an hour. The next morning I woke up to extremely sore legs and a phone call asking if I was...

For safety reasons alone, it’s not something to start naively. Once you decide that climbing is for you and you feel comfortable using the gear that the gym provides, you’ll want to invest in your own. The above products...

Julia Roberts on Eating Her Way Through Eat Pray Love

With the highly anticipated Eat Pray Love opening just weeks away, Julia Roberts is everywhere. And this is not a bad thing, BTW. BuzzSugar was lucky enough to catch up with the actress recently, and amongst other things, Julia talked about all the pasta and pizza she had to eat during filming. She told Buzz that she must have gained something like 11 pounds while filming in Italy, but “loved...

The Kangaroo Water Bottle That Doubles as a Wallet

In love with the classic squirt top biking water bottle, my husband asked rhetorically if one could make a better water bottle? My answer was simply the Kangaroo Bottle ($13) by Contigo. While not designed to fit in a cycling water bottle cage, it has a bunch of great features. Named for the pocket on the front of the bottle, the Kangaroo can hold your driver’s license or gym ID, a key, and...
