Dear Reader
If this doesn't have you starting (or re-starting) an
exercise program, nothing will. Regular exercise has
been shown to hold off the physical and mental declines
of aging... that slowing down that keeps older folks
from doing the things they used to.
The story started in 1977 when Lawrence Golding, a professor of kinesiology at
the University of Nevada (now an active 80 year old), started a boot camp style
exercise program just for men, held at lunchtime every weekday in one of the

Today many of these exercisers are grandfathers, but they have cholesterol (more
of the good kind, less of the bad) and triglyceride levels that a young person
would envy. What's more, these seniors have aerobic capacity, flexibility and
strength enough that their body has yet to show the age related declines you'd
expect with advancing years.

they gained:

That had everyone taking notice.
And yet, vitamin D deficiency is far more common than anyone thought, affecting
up to 50% of adults and healthy children in the United States.

Here's an interesting suggestion for keeping your heart healthy...

of The Journal of Nutrition finds that this tasty nut cuts
the risk of cardiovascular disease, in part because they
reduce cholesterol levels in the bloodstream.
These delicious nuts are also loaded with antioxidants and healthy fats, as well
