In recent years, there have been many “fad diets” that claim instant weight loss, a six-pack in a week and other promises that are near impossible. The Paleolithic diet, or Paleo diet for short, may actually be rooted in sound principles.
We all know dorm living can be tough. The transition from walk-in closets and huge bathrooms is enough for any freshman to face, but one of the most difficult aspects of a dorm is the kitchen space.
With the temperatures dropping and the leaves falling, it’s the perfect time to get off the treadmill and head outdoors for your next workout.

When looking through the fitness classes offered at UF, there are multiple types of yoga offered. Hatha? Ashtanga? Power? Vinyasa? Recovery? What do these all mean?

The trick to losing weight or staying healthy is always “diet and exercise.” I don’t know about anyone else, but I have more trouble with the “diet” part than I should. It’s always difficult to know exactly what your body needs without being a nutrition major or taking a bunch of health classes (and no, taking Man’s Food does not count.)

Moving in, adjusting to classes and adapting to a new fall schedule is undoubtedly stressful. Especially for those who are new to the University of Florida, achieving a balance between social and school life is a challenge that is presented from the very first day. However, health is something no one should let slip away! Late night pizza binges in the library and less gym time can quickly add up to the Freshman 15…18…25.
Much like the endings to her recent crime novel, J.K. Rowling’s case has been cracked.

With an author like Prince Lorenzo Borghese, an animal cosmetics entrepreneur, playboy, reality TV contestant and descendant of one of the wealthiest families in Italy, expectations may be placed low on his next venture: historical fiction novel "The Princess of Nowhere."

Let’s be honest here, you loved National Treasure. Even with every joke made about Nicholas Cage’s receding hairline and bug-eyed acting skills, you’ve got to admit that one part of the movie was actually really interesting. It involved the depth of national history imbedded between every scene of Mr. Cage’s brooding stares. Lately, films like Lincoln, shows such as Downton Abbey, and bestsellers Killing Kennedy and Killing Lincoln all have been unified by the fact that we are all fascinated by what came before us. We have all dozed off in history class before, but don’t make the mistake of skipping these books out of fear of boredom.
