Mushroom World

Raw, stuffed, or in a bun... We are loving MUSHROOMS! In Episode 115 the Pirates  talk about finding, growing and cooking mushrooms, as well as the health benefits associated with them. 

Cool Facts: 

• Mushrooms are solar powered! Sit them in the sun before you eat then to increase their levels of vitamin D! 
• Mushrooms "breathe." They consume oxygen and release carbon dioxide.
• Certain types of mushrooms are bioluminescent... They glow!

Benefits:

• Mushrooms have nutrients, and lots of 'em, including vitamin B, protein, zinc, and vitamin D.
• Some studies have shown that mushrooms can keep cancer from returning after chemo/radiation. 
• Mushrooms help build memory and brain power! 
• This superfood will also boost your immune system!

Fitness App Review: Little Bits Of Fitness

The quest for the perfect fitness app continues! Adrienne couldn't fit Future in the budget, and JEFIT wasn't the right fit. Perhaps third time's a charm? 

In Episode 114, the Pirates discuss a new fitness app, Little Bits of Fitness - housed by Playbook and created by celebrity Zumba instructor Kass Martin and her sister Emily. 

Pros: 

• Kass and Emily's POSITIVE ENERGY!
• Short, stackable workouts
• Can mix/match workout types (HIIT, stretching, etc.)
• Affordable - just $14.99/month
• Great for beginners
• Convenient when traveling

Cons: 

• Sidetalk (although some pirates loved the distractions these convos provided)
• May not be enough for fitness-minded folks with more experience 
• Limited guidance on proper form for exercises
