Rebounding may very well be one of the most effective forms of exercise in the world. What sets it apart from most other physical activities is its ability to strengthen, cleanse, and tone every cell in the body. The up-and-down movement works with gravity to stimulate the lymphatic system and draw toxins out of the blood, which is especially helpful in boosting immunity and improving cardiovascular function. Health benefits aside, rebounding is a way to workout that is more fun than forced.

Oh, those sneaky food marketers. Every time we think we've found an easy way to tell if a food is healthy or not, they slap that name on all kinds of unhealthy foods! They did it with organic (organic toaster pastries are not that healthy, no matter what they'd want us to believe). Now they're doing it with gluten-free; and while some people with a gluten intolerance may look forward to these foods as an allergy-friendly treat, many people go off gluten for weight loss and other health reasons—and these foods won't help one bit.
