Love leads to happier, healthier and longer lives. Stable relationships act as a buffer from life's inevitable stressors. Pretty intuitive.... Now what can we do with that information?......
How to beat jet lag? Don't take sleeping pills. They just get your body totally out of wack. Don't eat those nasty snacks. For sure they will give you a belly ache. Sorry. No alcohol. You can't buzz out a long flight. Just relax and meditate. Solve world problems. Sleep when you are tired. Get up to walk around a bit. When you land, just "gut out' the day and you should be able to sleep when ever the real night begins. The next morning, you should be all set
Belly fat: If only we could just cut it off. Research now shows that exercise is more effective than diet in targeting our midriff. However, sit ups, against popular belief, don't target this area. Go aerobic. It is the most effective way to lose our middle.
This week I turn 62
But all is not bad
My kids are getting married
For which I am glad
My knees do indeed ache
And my eyes can’t see near
But I have many friends and patients
Who I hold very dear
I go to sleep by ten
My hair is quite gray
But my life is all good
So I’ll enjoy my birthday
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.
