“Some of the best evidence for the role of exercise in maintaining weight loss comes from the National Weight Control Registry, an online group of over ten thousand men and women who have lost at least thirty pounds and kept it off for at least a year. These folks defy the cynical view that meaningful, […]
The pups back in July. Remember these guys? The pups after replanting and spending an ungodly number of days in 100+ degree heat. I didn’t think they would survive. But they did. The Boss says if I retire I need a hobby. Voila! New hobby!
After four weeks on the diet, the animals showed characteristics of metabolic syndrome, such as weight gain, insulin resistance, and glucose intolerance. And their microbiomes had changed dramatically, with the amount of segmented filamentous bacteria — common in the gut microbiota of rodents, fish, and chickens — falling sharply and other bacteria increasing in abundance. […]
Yes, I’m messing with the spice mix. So far I like the changes. Changes from the first version Chickpea and Sweet Potato Stew are in bold. In this revision I used dried chickpeas instead of canned. The night before rinse one cup of dried chickpeas with 2-3 changes of water. Then add enough fresh water to […]
Alongside nutrition and sleep, exercise is one of the three pillars of our health. Before coming up with a realistic and sustainable plan, let’s see what types of exercise are most recommended and how much we should try to do each day or each week.

Very interesting to read about different countries’ approaches
I’m in the process of reading about the Covid-19 response in France. It’s horrifying and I’ll likely not link to the article.
I’ll be very interested to read this. I have not heard anything at this point about the response in France.

Holy shit, I thought things were bad here. That is unbelievable! Euthanizing the old folks.
It just makes me sick how politics are involved everywhere. From suppressing it to begin with in China to France to here… Lived are at stake.
I had not read about the zinc sulfate. I had read about hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin. Have you been reading about this experimental treatment? A friend of mine sent me some zinc capsules. I put them on the shelf, but maybe I should start taking them? I wonder if Zinc could work as a preventive? Is it one of those things where maybe it can’t hurt?
She sent me a text today and wants to send me a capsule with some sort of mushrooms. I was going to do some research on that. She’s very much into Health foods and supplements. I have to be careful since I’m on a blood thinner. Have you ever heard of mushrooms enhancing immunity? I eat some almost every day and a salad, but not that many. Maybe two or three.
If we consume anything as preventative we need to consume a near plant based diet. Think Mediterranean diet. Lots of whole grains, fruits, vegetables, etc. Feed your immune system with food. Fish is fine but not here in Oklahoma!
