Happy September!
Even though my school days are long gone, September remains a month of new beginnings. And everyone can use a post-summer reset. Personally, I’m using this as an opportunity to create a consistent sleep routine. I’m going all out: weighted blanket, red light, no phone in my room.
If you’re looking to improve your routine this fall, keep reading for more ways to reset your nervous system. —Sela Breen, assistant health editor P.S. Click here to share this newsletter with someone in your life who could use a system reset. |

This daily beverage habit could increase your risk of stomach cancerDrinks tend to slip by without registering as health decisions at all, but recent findings suggest your choice of beverages may deserve a second look.¹
- People who drank sugar-sweetened beverages (think traditional soda, sports drinks, lemonade, and fruit punch) more than once a day had over double the risk of developing gastric cancer compared with those who rarely drank them.
- Participants who drank sugar-sweetened beverages one to three times a month, or even one to seven times a week had gastric cancer rates close to those who almost never drank them.
- Artificially sweetened beverages, like diet soda, showed no association with gastric cancer risk.
Researchers also found higher fructose linked to higher rates of gastric cancer, pointing at sugar as the more specific problem with these beverages.
If you occasionally reach for a soda or lemonade, this study shouldn’t concern you. But if you find yourself reaching for sugar-sweetened beverages everyday, read the rest of the story for more about how to rethink your drink choices.

Is Zone 2 training a waste of your workout time? |
|

Kristi Storoschuk, a Ph.D. candidate in the Muscle Physiology Lab at Queen’s University, has spent much of her doctorate combing through the research on Zone 2, and she’s not convinced it’s the holy grail cardio we’ve made it out to be.
On the latest episode of the mindbodygreen podcast, she and Jason discuss why Zone 2 training doesn’t always improve your VO2 max, and how to use your cardio time more efficiently.
