Posted by Charles Waisbren on March 14, 2026 at 4:57 AM
Unfortunately, the incidence of colon cancer has dramatically increased, especially in young people. A colonoscopy or a cologuard test is now recommended at age 45 and older. Please don't wait for colon cancer signs and symptoms! Make sure that you get your colonoscopy or cologuard test.

I'm still a proponent of the low carb/high protein diets out there. It is the cookies, doughnuts, pasta and pizza which cause us to gain weight.

This is a totally true malady. See if you can contract your rear end muscles. If not, you have work to do.
Assessing your work out
Posted by Charles Waisbren on January 31, 2026 at 6:48 AM
I like a simple stop watch to assess how fast a walk or run is going per a set distance. Obviously, the faster you go, the better the work out. I'm not sure of the value of these other devices....
The Carnivore Diet

Not really a good idea. It is more about limiting carbohydrates. Limiting all other food groups is not particularly healthy.
