Can you teach an old dog new tricks? Heck yeah! And you can lower your risk for heart disease at any point in your life. Even if you are over the hill, or teetering on top of it.
A study published in the July 2007 issue of The American Journal of Medicine found […]
I was contacted by someone about reviewing some new books that have just become available. Well, I love the first book. It is called The Eat-Clean Diet by Tosco Reno. The Eat-Clean Diet suggests a new way of eating. Actually, a whole new lifestyle.
I think that it is important to understand […]
Wade at Healthbolt has inspired me to write once again about that taboo subject of sexual relations. When I think about it, my discharge teaching with an acute MI patient is focused on nutrition, exercise and lifestyle changes, but doesn’t touch on sex. Don’t you think that should be a valid thought? […]
This month’s theme day at the Science and Health Channel is men’s health. Gloria over at Cancer Commentary was gracious enough to host it.
I am writing this post amongst my excitement for the LPGA Championship that is right in my backyard. Yup, up the street at Bulle Rock the ladies will chase that […]
This week, in my back yard, the LPGA plays their championship tournament at Bulle Rock golf course. It is really cool to have this event every year to take our daughters to. It just reiterates what my husband and I try to teach them everyday, “You can do whatever you put your mind […]

Subway, the food chain, launched healthier […]
The further you run, the healthier it must be, right? Not necessarily. Last year, two men died during the Los Angeles Marathon and four others died in other marathons around the country.
Studies have shown that the troponin protein is elevated in runners immediately after finishing a marathon indicating heart muscle cell damage. Those who trained […]
My heart wants a bike! My four-year-old just got his first bicycle and it’s reawakening my own love of biking. It’s been years since my husband and I spent most of our time on bikes while at college, and now it looks like it may be time to get pedaling again.
Biking would be the perfect […]
Physical inactivity costs the UK National Health Service (NHS) over 2 million dollars a year with more than half of that related to coronary heart disease. Steve Shaffelburg, of the British Heart Foundation (BHF):
