Daily Exercise

Daily exercise is a very important part of a healthy life. I know it is often hard to find the time. However, just 30 minutes a day will add healthful benefits to your life. Having been near being diagnosed with Diabetes II, I found that just 30 hours of exercise daily kept my glucose down within a safe range. It seemed hard at first but now it is easy. And you don't have to do it all at once. You can break it up into three 10 minute exercise times and still get the same benefits. I often do 20 minutes and then 10 minutes later or three 10 minutes during the day at various times. Try it, it is easy to get into a healthy exercise routine.

Article Alley

I love to read and I also love to post on my blog. Sometimes your mind just goes blank and you can't think of a thing to write. I love to go through magazines and newspapers and see what interesting articles I can write about. What I need to find on the Internet besides news articles, is a place where many articles are gathered together, perhaps something like an Article Alley where there are many articles and many subjects. Then I could just pick my subject, read up on them and write good posts for everyones information, as well as mine.
Health is a huge subject for almost everyone day. Everyone wants to gain or lose weight and find out what are the best ways to go about it. I search the Internet regularly for information on diet drugs and which are the best ones to work for you. I also have researched exercise machines and found the one that suits me best. Another big interest of everyone is aging. No one wants to age, especially prematurely so if they are like me, they are searching for products to reduce wrinkles, bags under your eyes and make you look younger. I need to research many articles to find many more up-to-date articles on today's interests of everyone so they will check my blog to see what the latest trend is. I do want to keep up with the latest news, as well, so I will keep up with my search of interesting articles.

Are You Getting Placebos or Prescription Med

This really makes you wonder when you read that half of American doctors in a new survey say they regularly give patients placebo treatments which are usually drugs or vitamins that won't really help their condition. What is the purpose in this? You pay good money to go to the doctor to get well and what if he doesn't give you the real medicine you need to get well?

Also, many of these doctors are not honest with their patients about what they are doing. The American Medical Association recommends doctors to use treatments with the full knowledge of their patients. This contradicts their advice to the doctors. It is disturbing. Placebos are defined in the survey were any treatment that wouldn't necessarily help the patient. I think that is a little scary.

Alzheimers and the Neighbors

We have found out that two of our former neighbors are both suffering from Alzheimers. The one neighbor and her husband always went to Texas every winter. However, this year she has gotten so bad that they are going to stay home. It is a sad situation for him as he is very active and not that old yet and when I saw them in the grocery store the other day, she just stared at me and smiled but didn't talk. I don't think she is even 70 yet.

The other neighbor fell and broke 7 ribs and cut one lung and is in the hospital. She will be there for a while as they had to put a tube in her lung to re-inflate it and let it heal. Once that is healed enough, they will be moving her to a nursing home. This is something her husband has been putting off as he surely did not want to do it. But now that she is injured, it has been taken out of his hands as she will need special care. It is really a sad situation and it makes you stop and count your blessings and we are very thankful for our good health.
