Speaker 1: Well, hello, my friends, thank you for joining us on
Speaker 1: this Body in cub podcast, Got Healthy Ish? I hope
Speaker 1: you are feeling healthy ish. Oh, so many sick people
Speaker 1: going around right now. I am your host, Felicity Harley,
Speaker 1: and joining me in the hot seat today is of course,
Speaker 1: our excellent producer, Tabby Wilson, and we are chatting through
Speaker 1: the three hottest topics in the health and wellness world
Speaker 1: this week.
Speaker 2: Hi Tabby, Hello, welcome back to me for.
Speaker 1: How are you? Yes, nice to have you back on
Speaker 1: And how are you feeling? I mean, I feel like
Speaker 1: everyone has been sick, so that's probably a silly question
Speaker 1: I should ask you are you feeling well?
Speaker 2: I actually am feeling well. I've been dodging the flu.
Speaker 2: Everyone around me seems to have the flu. But I
Speaker 2: got my flea shot this year and I'm feeling very
Speaker 2: confident in it. So so far, cross fingers, touch words,
Speaker 2: I am flu free?
Speaker 1: Well, me too, touch what. Actually, I'm consuming as much
Speaker 1: vitamin C as I can get my hands on everything
Speaker 1: from strawberries I think keyway through oranges. Strawberries are really
Speaker 1: strawberries seem to be so delicious, Prime buy. Okay, Well,
Speaker 1: carrying on with that, winter trend. I have to talk
Speaker 1: to you this week about yet another trend on TikTok. Now,
Speaker 1: this one, I have to point out that the creators
Speaker 1: on TikTok are claiming it's theirs, but I swear I
Speaker 1: heard this many many years ago. It is, in fact
Speaker 1: cozy cardio. Have you heard of this term before?
Speaker 2: No, I haven't, but I already love it exactly well.
Speaker 1: It has had over a million views on TikTok and
Speaker 1: it's basically inviting everyone to put on their coziest pajamas,
Speaker 1: wrap their feet in the fuzziest socks, and get moving. Now,
Speaker 1: this term apparently comes from a creator by the name
Speaker 1: of Hope Zucker Brown. Now I'm sorry to be cynical,
Speaker 1: but I swear I wrote about this in My Women's
Speaker 1: Health Days. But Hope has claimed the term as hers.
Speaker 1: So what she does is she rises at five point
Speaker 1: fifteen am daily and then she kickstarts her morning with
Speaker 1: a protein rich iced coffee. She lights her favorite cozy
Speaker 1: comfort centered three week candle, cues up a heartwarming wrong coom,
Speaker 1: and hits her walking pad, which I assume is a
Speaker 1: treadmillk which she's from the US. So yeah, and this
Speaker 1: basically is her cozy cardio. So she's all rugged up
Speaker 1: or cozy early in the morning and she's walking inside. Interesting.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it seems such a simple hack, although
Speaker 2: a tiny part of me is like, couldn't you walk outside?
Speaker 2: I know it's a little chillier, but I personally love
Speaker 2: being all ruked up and doing a crisp morning walk.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do too well. She has said that she
Speaker 1: has consistently done this five days a week for the
Speaker 1: past five months, and she's actually gone from a size
Speaker 1: sixteen to a size twelve, so it's been rate for her.
Speaker 1: She's burnt killer jewels, she's embracing a low impact workout,
Speaker 1: it's in sync with the season, and she's also relaxed
Speaker 1: watching her favorite rom com. So I'm with you. I'd
Speaker 1: prefer to take it outside rather than you know, on
Speaker 1: a treadmill or you can jump on a stationary bike
Speaker 1: a step or or you can even get our skipping
Speaker 1: rope if you want. But I'm with you outside. But
Speaker 1: I think the key here for Hope is that she's
Speaker 1: done it consistently and we know that I'm belted into
Speaker 1: cardio exactly, and that's gonna you know, you're gonna benefit
Speaker 1: most from consistency.
Speaker 2: One hundred percent. And I think it comes back to
Speaker 2: something that Flyssier and I have talked about so much,
Speaker 2: which is walking every day. It makes such a difference
Speaker 2: to your health. Like it's the one thing that our
Speaker 2: expat's unhealthier to come back to all the time, like
Speaker 2: go for those ten thousand steps a day, which sounds
Speaker 2: like she's doing with her cozy cardio exactly.
Speaker 1: Anyway, I like the term, and I mean I can't
Speaker 1: imagine though, like piling on all the pajamas and on
Speaker 1: the bike. I don't think downstairs in my house and
Speaker 1: then watching your rom com. I'd be like stripping off.
Speaker 1: I'm getting so hot.
Speaker 2: The thing that threw me the most probably is the
Speaker 2: fuzzy socks, Like I can't imagine anything worse than really
Speaker 2: fuzzy socks. I don't know what it is like working
Speaker 2: out that. I think that's the only thing is it
Speaker 2: wouldn't put me in the mindset of working out. I
Speaker 2: would be like, ooh, look at the sofa.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, just sports socks exactly. Anyway, Tabby, what's
Speaker 1: picked your interest this week?
Speaker 2: The story that kind of piqued my interest this week?
Speaker 2: Is going boy sober. I just love the phrase to
Speaker 2: start with. But Bonny and solrote a really great piece
Speaker 2: on this, and it's all about the idea of a
Speaker 2: dry July but in your romantic life, which I think
Speaker 2: lots of people have done throughout their life. But I
Speaker 2: love like you're saying, I love a new term for it.
Speaker 2: So the set of rules for going boys so it
Speaker 2: is no dating apps, no hookups, no boys, no dates,
Speaker 2: and no excees. And the trend obviously is gaining traction
Speaker 2: where TikTok, of course. And the idea is that when
Speaker 2: you go boy sober, or when you're kind of dating
Speaker 2: yourself is another way to put it, you kind of
Speaker 2: find out more about yourself, You learn what you like,
Speaker 2: what you don't like, and you learn to spend time
Speaker 2: with yourself, which I think is an important thing for
Speaker 2: everyone to try and do if and when you have
Speaker 2: the time. But I just thought it.
Speaker 1: Was, can you a husband, can you go husband sober?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 1: Can you tell your husband we long term partner, just
Speaker 1: stay away from me.
Speaker 3: To stay in a bit?
Speaker 2: Maybe you can just go on like a little retreat
Speaker 2: to Bali and lose your phone while you're there.
Speaker 1: I would much rather that. I'm sure if I mentioned
Speaker 1: that to tell me, be like, what, No, I don't
Speaker 1: like this, do you think?
Speaker 2: I think obviously this idea has been around for a
Speaker 2: really long time that when you take time off from
Speaker 2: dating you can kind of learn who you are. But
Speaker 2: a big part of going boys over in today's sort
Speaker 2: of digital age is also having the digital detox from dating,
Speaker 2: not having to go on these datings apps and you know,
Speaker 2: swipe for ages start like ten plus conversations at a time,
Speaker 2: all those conversations that you're having digitally. I actually think
Speaker 2: that's a huge part of this trend as well, is
Speaker 2: giving yourself sort of a digital break from what really
Speaker 2: is the work of dating. Like if you are seriously
Speaker 2: like looking for a romantic partner, there's a lot of
Speaker 2: sort of digital I guess admin that comes with it nowadays.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, okay, no, I'm in for Bali. Just go
Speaker 1: to Balie. Let's go Bali especially right now. Yeah, in fact,
Speaker 1: we should do this podcasts from Bali.
Speaker 3: I love that idea.
Speaker 2: I think that's something we should pick healthier from.
Speaker 1: Okay, this says and listeners can come with us, come
Speaker 1: with us.
Speaker 3: We do Healthyishi in Ballei a week of Healthyishi in Ballei.
Speaker 3: He love that, Okay, just quickly before we go, I
Speaker 3: just wanted to give a quick rundown of well, the
Speaker 3: most interesting story I saw on Body and Soul this week. Now,
Speaker 3: I don't know about you, but oh man, I need
Speaker 3: to pee a lot more during winter, especially at night.
Speaker 3: So when I saw these pop up, I thought, why
Speaker 3: is this happening?
Speaker 1: So basically, our increasing bladder activity is likely caused by
Speaker 1: a combination of weather and lifestyle factors. So when you drink,
Speaker 1: you might be drinking the same amount of tea, water, coffee,
Speaker 1: et cetera, et cetera as you do in summer. But
Speaker 1: in summer we're actually losing more water in sweat from
Speaker 1: our body. We're not sweating, it's not hot, we're not
Speaker 1: breathing as out as much more so we're actually retaining
Speaker 1: more water, more fluid in our body, which is why
Speaker 1: we have to pee more.
Speaker 3: Simple.
Speaker 1: That is so interesting, so interesting, and so yeah, sometimes
Speaker 1: I get cranky because I'm like, oh my gosh, is
Speaker 1: this the third time out during the night on the toilet?
Speaker 1: I must stop drinking water so late. But I'm actually
Speaker 1: it's just because my Body's retaining it.
Speaker 3: Oh, there you go.
Speaker 1: It's always good to know the why exactly. Anyway, Tabby,
Speaker 1: thanks for joining us and I'll see you next week
Speaker 1: in Bali. I'll see you next week in Bali. Bye
