Well, I am "traveling the globe" with my wife (Palm Springs, California) to watch the Indian Wells ATP tennis tournament. Read the following article about staying healthy while traveling the globe. I think that it offers some excellent advice, especially if you are really traveling the globe.
Dressing well positively affects all areas of your life. It gives you a feeling of well being and vitality. It enhances endorphin release and likely enhances adrenaline. Put those old T shirts away...... It is time to shine....
Big trouble. It looks like people are happier with deep, engaging conversation rather than blabbing small talk. Does that mean I have to read the front page of the newspaper BEFORE the sports pages?
For sure, read this linked article. I have been a huge proponent of baths forever. When my kids were sick or cranky, I would always pop them in the bath. For headaches, neck and back pain, sinus pain, respiratory tract infections and just plain old irritability, I have always recommended a hot bath. Who wants to stand in a shower when they are tired and achy? Bubble up. Light some candles. You can even pour yourself a glass of wine or scotch.
Congratulations to my daughter, Julie, who gave such a wonderful talk at Northwestern Hospital on glycogen storage diseases to the entire staff. Julie is finishing her last year of training in internal medicine at Northwestern and will be working as a hospitalist at the University of Wisconsin Medical Center next year. Hopefully, entering my practice in a year or two is on the horizon....
Indeed, there are many health benefits in dancing. It is reasonable exercise, good for your balance, helps mood and might even help control your weight. Plus, don’t overlook the social benefits: Dancing is a great way to spend quality time with a partner or meet new people if you don’t have a partner. Good luck...... I think that I'd rather be ice fishing.
Ice fishing? Remember, there is no such thing as safe ice! Ice is tricky. Just because a lake or stream is frozen doesn't mean that the ice is safe. Ice fishing requires at least four inches of clear, solid ice and a snowmobile five inches. Cars and light trucks require 10-12-inches in ice thickness. (Please forward this message to those Lake Geneva folks) Also, never park near cracks or pressure ridges. KNOW HOW TO HANDLE AN EMERGENCY. Should the ice begin to crack, run like mad!
SHOPPING LEGS: Why can we walk or run for miles outside but are ready to have our legs chopped off after one aisle of shopping? Some say that it is due to shallow breathing and hence less oxygen going to the legs. I'm not sure about the scientific evidence behind this explanation.
OOPS... I might be wrong about all my emphasis on a "healthy" weight. New research shows that a person's body/mass index (weight/height ratio) doesn't really correlate all that well with the incidence of hypertension, hyperlipidemia or diabetes. This information might be like putting "gas on a fire" for us Wisconsinites.
Say it ain't so! Although convenient, the "K" cup (Keurig) coffee system has some issues. The internal tank and tubing of the brewer can't be drained and hence is a perfect environment for mold and bacteria to grow. Additionally, when the lid of the K cup is perforated to allow for the hot water to drench the coffee, the lid's polyethylene coat is leached into the coffee as well. I think that I will stay with the old fashioned filter system.
