We all know this to be true: You lose weight and then some how your body gains it back. The "Biggest Losers" all did. Indeed, life is unfair. The reason: your body crashes your metabolic rate to put your lost weight back on. From natures point of view, this makes sense. As your doctor, I say deal with it. Eat even less.....or exercise even more.
Men are right to be terrified about Mother's Day.....
There is no way they can win. The day is spent bestowing affection towards their mother while trying to do the same for the mother of his children (the wife). It is an impossible task. Let me know if anyone has any ideas of survival. I am getting ready to enter the dog house......
I know that this is a difficult issue: Tinkering with nature.....Weighing the benefits and risks of genetically engineering animals. I just remember that those genetically altered lady bugs sure did bite.
It appears that your nice, leisurely walk probably doesn't get you into as good physical shape as you think.
It is more beneficial to have bursts of aerobic activity, even if the spent exercise time is dramatically less. I recommend the exercise bike over the sprint for our old knees....
How often should you weigh yourself? We all know that by the time our clothes are too tight, we are in deep trouble. Regardless of the pain that it can cause, I recommend weighing yourself everyday. It should help things from getting excessively out of control...
We all know that this is true: A big, high fat diet gets us sleepy...So, unless we want to nod out during the day, it is best to go with low fat (and low carbohydrate) meals. Perhaps just a piece of wheat toast for breakfast, a salad for lunch and a fish/lean meat and vegetable dinner. Sounds easy to comply, huh?
We CAN improve our brain function! A healthy lifestyle, aerobic exercise, meditation and brain training can all enhance our cognitive function. Keep this in mind while you are looking for where you put your car keys......
Are your toe nails disgusting due to fungus? Do you go to sleep with socks on to hide them? It is time to get your nails taken care of. Years ago, the only option was an oral medication which did indeed have some liver toxicity issues. Now, the newer oral medication is safe and quite effective. The topical solutions are far less efficacious.
"Broken hearts" are real...... but unless we bond, we just have emptiness. The benefits outweigh the health risks.
Colon cancer: Precursors are those small colon polyps which hide out without symptoms in your bowels. Coffee consumption, exercise, daily aspirin intake and a diet rich in fruit and vegetables all decrease the risk of colon cancer. Regardless, have YOU had your screening colonoscopy at age 50?
