Scorch Those Calories
Much like Tom Sawyer whitewashing a fence, burning 100 calories can seem like a momentous challenge or the easiest thing in the world. It all depends on how you look at it.
The 10 activities we’ve cobbled together all burn 100 calories in varying (quite small) amounts of time. While you might not enjoy every option on this list, odds are you can knock out the work in 10-20 minutes with a smile on your face instead of a snarl on your lips.
For example, if running a mile doesn’t provide you with a dopamine hit, then maybe taking a walk will. If ambulating isn’t your thing, then hopping on a bike while you hate-watch The Golden Bachelorette might be the very thing that gets you an extra 100 burned during your day. The world is full of options for burning calories, and with this article, there’s no reason you should keep finding excuses to stay stationary.

Go Clear?
In the pantheon of strange things people tend to universally believe to be true, the health effects of alcohol, based on the color of the distilled fluid, deserves a seat of some prominence.
As Dr. Layne Norton explains, all alcoholic beverages create feelings of intoxication through the chemical ethanol. While some people report fewer symptoms of hangovers from clear alcohol like vodka, that doesn’t actually mean the potato-based liquor has a higher degree of healthiness than tannin-heavy red wine.
If you really have a beef with these findings, or you really feel like you should continue to live on vodka Red Bulls the night before a big training day, a 1.5-ounce shot of clean facts might need to be in order.
