LIVE LONGER

new studies have shown that you might be able to live longer
with discoveries from recent research

although they are not cures for cancer or for cardiovascular disease
they greatly reduce the incidence of both

the best reduction was in the incidence of lung cancer
(besides quitting smoking or not smoking at all)



its not some new miracle drug with terrible side effects or some
new drug that will cost us all a ton of money or
some drug that the us drug companies cant produce enough of
to make a profit so we have to go to a foreign country to get
the drug

its not some new cardiovascular drug or some new cardiovascular
surgical procedure or some new device to hook up a patient to

its not some big study sponsored by a big drug company or
product manufacturer

its studies sponsored by the aca american cancer society and the
aha american heart association

this new preventative treatment may reduce according to one study
the incidence of cardiovascular mortality by 48% in men and 58% in
women
the incidence of cancer mortality  may be reduced by 30% in
men and 24% in women

these are significant numbers
these findings are very significant
dont see a lot of information on these findings on the news though

whats this new miracle treatment that can decrease the incidence of
heart attacks and strokes and multiple different cancers

are you ready for this new treatment

its diet and exercise
diet and exercise
diet and exercise

some recommendations
4.5 cups of fruit or vegetables a day
lets see i eat an orange,a banana, an apple, carrots at lunch
a salad at night and usually one vegetable at night
check

2 or more servings of fish a week
dont do that one
do take an omega 3 fish oil supplement a day

less than 1500 mg sodium a day
check

not more than 36 oz of sugar sweetened beverages a week
feel sorry for those sweet tea lovers
dont drink any of this
mostly drink rainwater
check

three servings of whole grains a day
check

maintain body mass index the bmi <25
mines 25
call it a check

maintain blood pressure 120/80
mines really close to that
give it an almost complete check

maintain blood sugar at <100
check
(read where statins may slightly increase this number
may be the reason mine was slight up at 104+ in the past)

maintain a blood cholesterol < 200
am using diet and a statin for this one
check

maintain at least 150 minutes of moderate physical activity
a week or 75 minutes of vigorous physical activity a week
wore a pedometer the other day in the afternoon when working
on my property and walked 2.5 miles total
give this one a check

interesting if you just change one of these you get a significant
improvement

interesting enough is that these same parameters if followed seems
to slow down or prevent the delay of alzheimers disease and
cognition problems
it also is the treatment to prevent diabetes and are the parameters
recommended for the treatment of someone with diabetes

surely it cant be this simple
no copay
no health insurance needed
no drugs to take

just

eat right and exercise

BRAIN HEALTHY DIET
this is from www.alz.org the alzheimers website

the brain needs the right nutrients to function well
the diet that helps diabetes and cholesterol levels and that
increases the blood flow to the brain and is low fat and low
in cholesterol is the best

this combined with physical and mental activity and social
interactions improve brain health

maintain a normal weight
obese middle age people are twice as likely to develop dementia
those who had high cholesterol and high blood pressure have a
6 times increase in dementia

reduce foods high in fat and cholesterol
these foods can clog up your arteries and
is associated with a higher risk of alzheimers disease
a high hdl cholesterol may be protective against alzhiemers disease
use olive oil for cooking or other mono or poly unsaturated fats
bake or grill your food instead of frying it

eat more protective foods
these help lower the risk for heart attack or strokes and may
improve brain health

these dark skinned vegetables and fruits are good
vegetables such as kale beets alfalfa sprouts broccoli
brussel sprouts red bell pepper onion corn and egg plants
fruits such as blueberries (not blue bell ice cream) prunes raisins
black berries raspberries plums oranges red grapes and cherries

all of these are high in antioxidant properties

cold water fish high in omega 3 are holy mackerel, salmon, tuna
halibut and trout

nuts such as pecans peanuts and walnuts are high in vitamin a
an antioxidant

eating green leafy cruciferous vegetables may help also
eating foods high in vitamins e, c, b12 and folate may help to
reduce the risk of alzheimers disease
these food also have trace elements in them

we are like plants that are raised with an organic method of
cultivation as they have more nutrition in them than those
raised nonorganically
we get a greater benefit from getting our vitamins and elements
from eating the right foods than by trying to take supplements

so for alzheimers prevention possibly and for improving your
brain health as well as your blood pressure and cholesterol
and reducing your risk for stroke and heart attacks try following
the above recommendations

there is a genetic component to this alzheimers disease but it
is multifactorial ie has many causes and diet may be part
of the picture

DUCT TAPE
according to a face book friend you can use duct tape to remove
ticks especially seed ticks and chiggers
now there is a good use for duct tape

if you dont know what chiggers are then you are
not from the south or have never been there

FOOTBALL
what little we saw of the starters for the cowboys they
looked ok

dont like the new kick off rule
that needs to be changed quickly
boring boring boring boring

tebow has it
he made some good drives
he completed several good passes
he just looks like he wants to get it done
they need to give him the reins of the broncos and see
if he does have it

cant wait until the real games start
