Prediabetes is reversible.

Just saw this video put out by the CDC on reversing prediabetes.  Thought I'd share with you all.

Weight Loss the simple way: 4 steps to reach your goal.

Sustainable Fat Loss: A Simple Four-Step Framework In the world of fitness, many people search for a "short-cut" to weight loss. While a simple path exists, it is important to remember that simple does not mean easy. The following four steps are highly effective, but their success depends entirely on consistency. Research suggests that when making significant lifestyle changes, it is best to master one habit at a time. Attempting too many changes simultaneously can overwhelm the body and lead to burnout. I recommend implementing these steps in the following order: Step 1: Resistance Training (3x Per Week) Prioritizing weight lifting helps maintain—and potentially build—lean muscle mass. Because muscle tissue is metabolically active, increasing your muscle mass naturally boosts your basal metabolic rate (the calories you burn at rest). After age 30, the body naturally begins to lose muscle mass, which often leads to an increase in body fat. To counteract this, focus on: Chall...

  On February 13th, Robert F Kennedy was voted and confirmed to be the 26th secretary of Health and Human Services.  Some people are scared, and others are hopeful of what he might do. This got me to thinking about what his background is.  Why is he qualified for this position?  Should we be scared, or hopeful? In researching Mr. Kennedy, here is his history.  He attended Harvard in late '70's and law school in early '80's.  Passed the Bar in 1985, which is when he began his career as an environmental attorney suing corporations for disposing of hazardous waste into waterways instead of properly disposing them.  In the '90's, he began taking private clients, instead of cities or groups, to fight against corporations with poor waste management. This is also when one of his son's was found to have peanut allergies.  After some research, he attributed this to certain vaccines that began to be used in 1989.  His fight against oil and chemical com...

Effects of aging

  Funny how the cycle of life affects us all.  We all start the same, and we all finish the same.    What I see as the two biggest issues from an aging stand point are muscle loss (sarcopenia) and loss of bone density (osteoporosis).  These two can be controlled with a healthy diet AND resistance training. I'm not saying it doesn't happen.  I'm just saying we can minimize the effects of both of these conditions. Sarcopenia begins around age 30.  Loss is gradual and starts at about 3 - 5% per decade.  It doesn't seem like much, but it is cumulative.  Once you reach age 60, it becomes more noticeable.  In your 80's, loss jumps to between 11 and 50% according to WebMD.  If you are young, you will notice this if you break your arm or leg and they are in a cast for a long time.  When the cast comes off, you will notice a big difference. This loss can be mitigated by resistance training.  Even people that exercise regularly will...
