I’ve seen a few of these recaps from some sites/blogs that I follow so I thought it would be neat to do the same thing: take a look back at all last year’s articles and see the ones that garnered the most attention out of the 92 posts I managed to put together. So without further adieu, here are the top 10 posts from Bare 5 in 2014…

10. What Is Middle Age? – A little thought experiment on how we define middle age and what that might actually mean.

9. Doctors & Nutrition – My thoughts on doctors and nutritional information.

8. Is It Carbs Or Fat? – My thoughts on a very common (and important?) debate these days.

7. Waking Up In The Middle Of The Night – Rethinking what normal sleep patterns might be.

6. Nourishing Movement – Exploring the concept of feeding and nourishment through movement.

5. The Definitive Answer To 20 Of Your Biggest Health Questions – My thoughts on an article claiming to definitely answer some big health questions.

4. Icing Injuries: Another Whoops – Rethinking the use of ice/cold to treat injuries and how it might actually work against healing.

3. The Wisdom of Matthew McConaughey – A fun little post about a commercial that must have been so popular due to the star attraction, not necessarily my groundbreaking thoughts. 🙂

2. Life Lessons I Learned From 80s Movies – The most fun article I wrote this year. Anytime you can work in The Princess Bride and The NeverEnding Story to a blog post it’s gonna be a winner.

1. My Dad – Without a doubt this was number one in both my heart and the reads it got. Pretty fitting since my dad was definitely number one to me.
