  1. What are you most grateful for? I give thanks for a healthy body with which I can enjoy life. There is no greater gift.
  2. Interviewing Academy Award winner Olympic Dukakis encourages diabetes testing for those 65+. Details are here: http://tinyurl.com/yjujpl9
  3. A better batter ends fear of frying. USDA develops batter that reduces absorption of oil in fried foods by 50%. http://tinyurl.com/yek833r
  4. AHA reports a 5-year study on meditation. Amazing 43% reduction in mortality from heart attack, stroke, etc. http://tinyurl.com/y96wbju
  5. Moderate intensity exercise raises heart rate. You can talk, but not sing. With vigorous exercise, you sweat and can only say a few words.
  6. Popcorn and a soda at the movies provide a day's worth of calories. A large tub can easily have 1,200 calories (popcorn) plus 260 (butter).
  7. Dr. Robert Murray argues that childhood obesity is the #1 public health priority in our interview in Huff Post: http://tinyurl.com/ykod22e
  8. Academy Award winner Olympia Dukakis and her husband, Louis Zorich, urge diabetes screening for seniors 65+ here: http://tinyurl.com/y9hyvuj
  9. Digesting the news on the expanding problem of obesity is giving me indigestion. The latest: 40% of Americans are expected to obese by 2018.
  10. My friend recommends a minimum of 7 minutes of meditation to begin and end the day. I will experiment with the idea. Sounds worthwhile.
  11. Be body aware. Scan your body regularly to see how you are feeling. During work, take breaks every 20-40 minutes to talk around and stretch.
  12. People 65+ need diabetes screening because 70% are diabetic or pre-diabetic even without symptoms. Medicare covers cost for those at risk.
  13. Have you fallen into the Fat Gap? In a study from England, only 1 person out of 10 saw themselves as overweight, yet 1 in 4 actually is.
  14. Family fitness is a team effort. Getting in shape brings rewards in other areas. Grades improve, spirits lift and self-respect increases.
  15. Dr. Robert Murray, nationally recognized pediatrician, alerts parents about the growing problem of child obesity. http://tinyurl.com/yduqz3p
  16. This Swedish video hilariously demonstrates getting fit is fun. Enjoy, then pass the video and concept along: http://tinyurl.com/ya5j8sd
  17. In a few minutes, I'll be interviewing Olympia Dukakis and her husband, Louis Zorich, about their campaign to promote diabetes screening.
  18. Have you forgotten how good you can feel? Eating healthy food, getting a good night's rest and exercising regularly turns back the clock.
  19. Here's an ironclad promise to make to yourself that's worthwhile to keep: "I won't complain and I won't explain." Viola! Excuses disappear.
  20. Our thoughts transform into action (or inaction, if we think up excuses). Whether you think you can become fit--or you can't, you're right.
