Confronting pain, strain, crud and bugs. Naturally.
Now that 2012 is under way, how about a simple resolution for lifelong health that you can easily remember: The Five S’s. Or Sx5. The Five S’s refer to five things you can do to maintain optimal immune health. In my book, these measures will also impact many other health areas, including weight, cardio, skin [...]
Hopefully, you’re enjoying some great holiday food. But don’t overdo the sugar. I don’t want to be a killjoy (as I am writing this I’m eating a bag of nuts mixed with chocolate-covered raisins). However, processed sugar, as we all know, it is hard to avoid and if we could just get a handle on [...]
I’ve started doing some jogging with my college-age daughter. It’s pretty much the first father-daughter exercise activity we’ve ever done together. I have twin daughters. Both are creative types…both are musicians, and one is pursing architecture…and they’ve never had any interest in school sports. I couldn’t get them interested in leisurely golf or tennis, either. [...]
The headline for this post is to0 long and encompassing for its own good. But I’ve read some pearls of wisdom lately and reflected on other similar life stratogems that all combine to make a lot of sense and paint a compelling picture on leading a healthy, satisfying life. And I’m also linking “satisfying” and [...]
One of my favorite beverages is beer. I’m probably not alone in that category. But, unlike my reckless college youth, I now prefer a small amount of a really good craft beer, rather than greater amounts of mass swill. One of my favorite beers is Millstream Windmill Wheat, brewed not far from my home, in [...]
My wife and I had a spontaneous drink after work last night (margarita for her, Guinness, with its immune-healthy gut health agents, for me!). Things are wacky at her office, with people’s problems and pettiness overflowing. Also yesterday, our daughters texted us to remind us they are overwhelmed with college projects prior to spring break, [...]
In the right hand column of this blog you’ll see a convenient sign-up window for receiving a brief monthly email newsletter. It’s called Life in the Balance, sponsored by EpiCor-maker Embria Health Sciences. We sent a short survey form to the email subscribers last month, asking them to answer 8 questions. We also offered the [...]
I live just a few miles from Van Meter, Iowa. That’s the birthplace and boyhood home (and museum site) of one of the greatest baseball players in history, fireballing pitcher Bob Feller, The Heater from Van Meter, who died at age 92 Wednesday night. Joe DiMaggio called his curve ball “not human.” Ted Williams, the [...]
I attended a health ingredient business conference a couple months ago, and one of the items I heard at an excellent presentation comes back to haunt me this time of year. The freezing time of year here in the Midwest. The presentation was by Dr. Pamela Peeke, a health and nutrition researcher who achieve a [...]
Were you or a loved one waiting in a line last weekend to buy the latest “Call of Duty: Black Ops” computer game? If so, I would not be surprised, as this game generated $360 million in sales over the weekend. That’s more than a blockbuster movie opening. I’m not a gamer, but I’ve had [...]
