Upside-Down Pilates

In this episode of Upside-Down Pilates, we learn how to do the the Pilates one leg circle.

After learning about our Transversus Abdominus, our deepest and most stabilizing abdominal muscle, we learn different ways to build up the strength, pelvic stability, and flexibility so we can successfully do the one leg circle!

In this series of videos we explore one exercise at a time. We look at what is each exercise good for. Are there any reason not to do the exercise? We also learn many modifications for each exercise to build strength and endurance slowly over time.

The Bacteria We Share With the People We Live With

Who you live with may be shaping your health in ways you never expected. A new study out of the University of Trento, Italy, analyzed the gut and oral microbiomes of 430 people across 207 households and found that people sharing a home swap far more bacteria with each other than with anyone in the outside community, and it has nothing to do with being biologically related. On average, cohabiting people share about 19% of gut bacterial strains and 26% of oral strains. People in separate households share virtually zero.

What researchers found particularly interesting is which bacteria tend to spread most easily between people. The gut strains that moved most readily between housemates were the same ones associated with markers of type 2 diabetes and heart health. Some of the most transmissible species had ties to colorectal cancer. Researchers think the same qualities that help these microbes travel between people may also help them settle in once they arrive.
