Exercise Program
Here's the exercise program I am using to stay in shape
this year. You might want to take it easy at first, then do
it faster as you become more proficient. It may be too
strenuous for some.

That's enough for the first day!
Nutrition and health. It's a
relief to know the truth after all those conflicting medical
studies.
1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer
heart attacks than the British or Americans.
2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart
attacks than the British or Americans.
3. The Japanese drink very little red wine and suffer
fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans
4. The Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and
suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.
5. The Germans drink a lot of beers and eat lots of
sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than the
British or Americans.
CONCLUSION: Speaking English is what kills you. Eat and
drink what you like.
HEALTH-e
TIPS
 Women and Heart Disease
Things you can do to lower your risk.
(HealthDayNews) -- Twice as many
women die from heart disease each year as from all
types of cancer combined, including breast cancer,
Duke University Medical Center says. While some risk factors such as
family history are beyond your control, here are a
few habits you can adopt to help ensure a
heart-healthy future: Don't smoke; Have your
cholesterol and blood pressure checked regularly; Lose weight if you're overweight; Exercise regularly; Reduce stress; Ask your doctor which lifestyle
changes may work best for you.
Exercise While You Work How to stay fit at the office
(HealthDayNews) -- Most people work at a desk at work,
but that's no excuse not to exercise. The American
Heart Association offers
these tips for burning a few calories at the office:
Brainstorm project ideas with a co-worker while taking a
walk; Stand while talking on the telephone; Walk
down the hall to speak with someone, rather than
using the telephone; Take the stairs instead of the
elevator; Schedule exercise time on your business
calendar and treat it as any other important
appointment; Get off the bus a few blocks early and
walk the rest of the way to work or home; Walk around your building during a workday break or
lunch.
Don't Forget the Veggies -
Low-carb dieters shouldn't forgo plant-based foods
(HealthDayNews) -- Experts at the American Institute for
Cancer Research are reminding people of a healthful
hint that seems to been
obscured during the recent low-carb craze:
Vegetables, fruits, whole grains and beans should be
major ingredients in any weight-loss strategy.
Most plant foods are high in water and fiber, but
comparatively low in calories, thus they create a
feeling of fullness without delivering
the
hefty load of calories delivered by high-fat foods,
the institute's experts say.
Handling Stress It's a silent killer
(HealthDayNews) -- Modern life is full of time pressure
and frustration. Stress develops when the demands in
your life exceed your
ability to cope with them.
Here, then, are some helpful coping techniques from the
Mayo Clinic:
?
Your body requires a healthy diet and adequate rest.
?
Exercise also helps, by distracting you from
stressful events and releasing your
nervous energy.
?
Learn to relax. It's the polar opposite of the stress
response. Deep-breathing exercises may put you in a
relaxed state.
Follow these steps to decompress:
?
Inhale through your nose to a count of 10. As you
inhale, your upper abdomen should rise, not your
chest.
?
Exhale slowly and completely, to a count of 10.
?
Repeat five to 10 times. Try to do this several times
every day, even when you're not feeling stressed.
?
If you have persistent trouble relaxing, consider a therapeutic massage
which may also loosen
taut muscles and calm frazzled nerves.
