Known for its sturdy workout wear, Under Armour is adding shoes to its repertoire. I just took the stability sneaker, UA Revenant ($120), out for a couple of test runs, and I mean that literally. After wearing them around the house for some light cleaning, I wore them for a long jog on the road.

Now that it so unbelievably gorgeous outside, I'm inspired to run for longer periods of time. The problem is my normal tank tops have seams that irritate the inside of my arms. If you have that problem too, check out the Under Armour HeatGear Movement Tank ($45).

Hayden Panettiere has been seriously hitting the gym lately and she seems to love her Under Armour gear. I personally love that she mixes it up with color — today she is sporting bright pink shorts that I just have to have.

Hayden Panettiere looking super cute leaving the gym recently. I am loving her youthful and fun workout gear (much brighter than my all my black clothes). I may feel inspired to brighten it up a bit, besides the winter is dark enough as it is why not brighten it up?

Congenital Hypothyroidism and Maternal Hyperthyroidism
Thyroid-lowering medications used for treating Graves’ disease, the most common cause of hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), can cause babies to be born with hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid). Research presented at the 2006 annual meeting of the American Thyroid Association suggests that hyperthyroidism can be effectively managed during pregnancy without causing newborn hypothyroidism. The researchers suggest that:
- Pregnant women with Graves’ disease should take the lowest possible dose of their thyroid medication
- It is safe for women with Graves’ disease to maintain thyroid levels in the upper-normal range while pregnant
Low-Normal Thyroid and Metabolic Syndrome
- Thyroid levels in the low-normal range may increase the risk of unhealthy cholesterol levels, high blood sugar, and abdominal obesity -- indicators of metabolic syndrome -- according to a 2006 study in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism.
- Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions, (including abdominal obesity, high blood sugar, and unhealthy cholesterol levels), which increases the risk for heart disease.

Overview
Iron is an essential mineral that contributes to many important physiologic functions in the body. Much of the iron in the body is attached to hemoglobin molecules in red blood cells, thereby delivering oxygen to all of the tissues. Extra iron is stored in the liver, bone marrow, spleen, and muscles.

Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by pain in the muscles, ligaments, and tendons; fatigue; and multiple tender points on the body. While no one knows what causes it, there is evidence that people with fibromyalgia may be more sensitive to pain because something is wrong with the body's usual pain perception processes. More women than men have fibromyalgia.
