What’s the Easiest Way to Lose Weight and Be Healthier?
“Take My 2014 Challenge”……..
Take 2014 Steps in 2014. Walk an extra 2014 steps every day and watch the pounds melt off. 2,014 extra steps each day is a mile. It’s a 15 minute walk. You could also break it up into smaller increments and just get up off your chair and walk around the house at regular intervals.
I have patients who are too busy to go to the gym so we’ve found ways to help them increase their steps.
For Travelers
A recent study found that Americans walk about half as much as Australians and their obesity rate is also half of what ours is. On average, the folks in the study walked around 5,000 steps, the Australians over 9,000. Guess what? 5,000 steps per day is considered sedentary, in other words — inactive.
Quadruple and multiply by 5 the number!
Want to be really healthy? Don’t stop at 2014 steps, quadruple and then multiply the number of steps you walk by 5 and aim for at least 10,000 steps each day. That’s the key to better health. Start off with a few and add 500 each day until you reach your goal. Experts are saying that exercise is the best way to stay healthy.
Why Zebras don’t die of heart attacks
My friend, Dr. Jane Lombard, who is a cardiologist explained why it is that Zebras don’t die of heart attacks. She heard this explanation during her training. It’s because they are always running! They run from lions, cheetahs and other predators. Zebras are active and that’s why they don’t have heart disease. So take a cue from our striped friends and get out there!
This could save your life or the life of someone you know and love!!!!

I am an ER nurse and this is the best description of this event that I have ever heard. Please read, pay attention, and send it on! FEMALE HEART ATTACKS I was aware that female heart attacks are different, but this is the best description I’ve ever had.Women and heart attacks (Myocardial infarction)… Did you know that women rarely have the same dramatic symptoms that men have when experiencing heart attack …. you know, the sudden stabbing pain in the chest, the cold sweat, grabbing the chest & dropping to the floor that we see in the movies. Here is the story of one woman’s experience with a heart attack. (more…)
