(And the post itself is actually from 2009.) I’m guessing this means that a fair number of you harbor more than a casual interest in what’s going on in London this Friday, April 29.

I also remember crowding into the living room of our next-door-neighbor’s house at the crack of dawn to watch the ceremony live on their tiny black-and-white TV set.

Look! It’s our very first reader giveaway since we launched! (But it won’t be our last.) And the sweet prizes come from a little Seattle-based coffee shop called Starbucks. Heard of it? Right now, Starbucks buys 75 percent of all its coffee from responsibly grown, ethically traded sources, and the company aims to up that number to 100 percent by 2015. (Last year, Starbucks also bought 40 million pounds of Fair Trade Certified coffee, which means it purchases more Fair Trade Certified coffee than anyone else in the world.) Pretty cool, huh? So Blisstree partnered with Starbucks to give a little something back to our readers. Two l...

In that spirit, we’re bringing back a topic that many readers seem to miss: Smoking. Or, quitting smoking, to be exact. Back in 2006, Blisstree posted a timeline of “What happens to your body when you quit smoking now”. The timeline, posted on cancer.org, is as follows: 20 minutes after quitting: Your heart rate and blood pressure drop. (Effect of Smoking on Arterial Stiffness and Pulse Pressure Amplification, Mahmud, A, Feely, J. 2003. Hypertension: 41:183.) 12 hours after quitting: The carbon monoxide level in your blood drops to normal.

If you ask your coworkers or friends, you’d likely get differing answers too. It’s fine for healthcare professionals to offer advice, but we need to be more specific and detailed with this advice, don’t we? Maybe now, we’re getting somewhere though. According to a press release issued by Elsevier Health Sciences, “Researchers have determined that a rate of at least 100 steps per minute achieves moderate intensity activity. Therefore a simple pedometer-based recommendation of 3000 steps in 30 minutes can get people started on a meaningful exercise program.” That’s a fairly brisk walk, I think - but it ...
