Too good to be true

Chocolate indeed tastes great but I can't really promote it as being "good for you". Too caloric!
Others don't agree.

Put more fish in your diet!

Much more fun to catch fish for a fish meal than just popping fish oil pills...
Get out on the lake!
Reading the news

Following the news can indeed be quite disheartening. I cope by just listening to sports radio.
Other strategies...
Is it safe to use public bathrooms?

It probably is better to use your own bathroom before you go out.....
Stress is bad for you!

I think that we all realize this: stress is bad for you. This study shows that the immune system is negatively influenced by stress. Continue to try to decrease the stressors in life.....(I know: easier said than done)
The Monkeypox Virus

I know that the Covid experience has frightened all of us. However, it appears that Monkeypox will not go down the same pathway.
It is a much different type of virus and appears to spread only by contact rather than airborne transmission.
That morning coffee (with or without a bit of sugar) is actually GOOD for you

Don't feel guilty. Your morning coffee (even with a teaspoon of sugar) is actually good for health. It is likely due to the antioxidant properties of the coffee beans.
Building muscle mass

Eating a balanced, healthy, low carbohydrate diet is all you need. A protein supplement to support muscle strength is wishful thinking.
Moderate weight training is a better idea.....(yes...it takes more effort than drinking a protein shake.._)
Cardiac symptoms in women can be quite subtle.

Cardiac symptoms in women are more subtle than in men. This is another reason why ultrafast CTs of the heart are so valuable. For $49 at any St. Lukes imaging center, how can you go wrong?
Are carbs worth it?
Posted by Charles Waisbren on May 07, 2022 at 7:26 PM
Sorry... I don't believe that carbs precipitate migraines. However, I do believe that they don't satiate the appetite as well as fat or protein though...
Hence, they tend to put extra weight on.
