Packing It In
Big Pinch Of Trouble

Those who think smokeless tobacco is a safe alternative to cigarette smoking are in for a rude awakening. Using smokeless tobacco quadruples the risk of oral cancer and increases the likelihood of heart disease, hypertension, stroke, and kidney disease.

Foods That Fight Cavities

Most people know that sticky sweets promote tooth decay, but they may not be aware that some foods actually prevent tooth decay. These foods counteract the acids in the mouth that wear down tooth enamel. Tooth saving foods include: Cheese, peanut butter, nuts and seeds, meat, fish, poultry, eggs, olives, and dill pickles.

Watch that peanut butter.
 
Took an hour "les mills - body vive" class last night. You can be sure that I will be back for another one. GREAT old school musice (Disco Inferno-Car Wash-K.C. & The Sunshine Band) Oh and it's amazing the muscle burn you get working with the bands and tubes Ouchhhhhhhhhh. What a fun way to spend an hour

Major Medical Conditions
Women And Heart Attacks

Although more men experience heart attacks than women, women's attacks are usually more severe and twice as likely to be fatal. In addition, women don't do as well after bypass surgery. As an outgrowth, women, no matter what their age, should make extra special efforts to reduce the major heart disease risk factors-smoking, obesity, high cholesterol, hypertension, stress, and inactivity.

Ulcer Myth

Spicy foods do not cause ulcers as is commonly believed. Physicians do not usually restrict a patient's diet when they have an ulcer, except for alcohol and beverages containing caffeine as they stimulate acid production.
 
No workout today. Had my yearly physical and will be doing a well woman exam soon.

This is my health tip of the day. Don't forget your yearly exams. They are so important.
 
Yuck - hate the yearly doctor thing.
But it is worth it.

Will be going to the gym before dad duty.

Senior Health Care
The Age Wave

Presently, people over the age of 65 make up over 13% of the population compared to only 6.8% in 1940. Fifty years from now, that figure is expected to increase to 20%. This predicted increase in longevity is due to better treatment and an emphasis on preventive medicine.

Kids And Cholesterol

Breakfast is not only important to give children energy to start the day, but it is also correlated with lower cholesterol levels. Children with the lowest cholesterol levels are those who start their day with a breakfast of high fiber cereal.

Do You Suffer From Sleepyheaditis

Many people have trouble getting up in the morning, but this problem becomes intensified during the winter months. This may be due to the body's internal timer that uses sunlight as a signal to wake up. During dark and dreary winter mornings, the body may not receive the triggers to get out of bed. If this is a problem for you, turn your bedroom lights on as soon as the alarm goes off or hook them up to a timer that will turn them on.

Don't feel like working out today I need motivation LOL
 
:wave:

I hit the gym again today - 1 hour on the elliptical and 30 laps in the pool.
I will sleep good tonight.
 
Health Tip of the Day
Travel Time
Driving Allergies

Some airborne molds that breed in auto air conditioners can aggravate allergies in some people. The recommendations: Use fresh, rather than recirculated air, point air vents away from your face and run the air conditioner for 15 minutes with the windows slightly open before driving.

General Information
Year Round Sun Alert

Summer is over but it's still important to protect your skin from the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays in fall and winter. Continue to use a sunscreen with a sun protective factor (SPF) of at least 15 when doing outdoor activities, such as walking, jogging, or raking leaves. Do the same when you ski, sled, or engage in other outside winter sports.
 
No work out today

Health Tip of the Day
Safety First
Hold The Call

Talking on the telephone can be quite hazardous in certain situations. Avoid using a telephone when you are near water, such as a bath tub, swimming pool, or shower. If you should drop the phone into the water, it could cause an electric shock. Also, don't use the telephone during an electrical storm as an electric surge could occur.

Sleep May Be Colored

If you suffer from insomnia, the problem may be the color of your bedroom walls. Research reported in "New Body Magazine" found that rooms painted with harsh, bright colors can cause restlessness, an inability to sleep, and even nightmares. The best colors for bedrooms are soft pastel shades which produce feelings of tranquility.

took a "body attack" class on Tuesday night at the gym. HATED IT! It was very old school aerobic class-as in- jumping up and down and way to much bouncing for someone with breasts larger than an eraser !!! So, back to the gym floor for some private time between me and my elyptical machine. How do you spell eliptical machine? Well, one of those is surely correct. Anyway, I really do feel better after moving my body! I taught aerobics for years (step and dance step) and it's alot more fun to just let someone else do the work. All I have to do is stare at the mirror and zone !!!!! I love it.
