Patients always tell me they want to increase their activity to improve health (lose weight mostly). And, yeah, that's important (see below), but even more than that? What you stuff in your mouth! Make healthy diet and exercise choices, my friends. Live longer and feel better doing it!

Unhealthy diets are by far our greatest risk factor for disease and death. However, physical activity is important for our health and longevity and should be encouraged as part of an overall healthy lifestyle.

Population studies have found a correlation between regular aerobic exercise and decreased risk of at least 35 different diseases, including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and cancer.

Physical activity can help lower inflammation, as well as decrease DNA damage and facilitate DNA repair. A meta-analysis of cohort studies of middle-aged and older individuals, with follow-ups as long as 20 years, found that exercising adults were more likely to age successfully than sedentary individuals.

Exercise may also improve cognition, enhance mood, and generally improve quality of life. The evidence supporting the overall health benefits of physical activity are overwhelming.
Exercise is such powerful medicine that researchers at Stanford and the London School found that exercise may work as well as drugs for patients with coronary heart disease, heart failure, and pre-diabetes––and even better than some medications for stroke.

Just like any medicine, though, might exercise have an upper limit for benefitting our health and longevity? I cover that in the video “How Much Exercise Is Too Much?” at https://buff.ly/3WpGv6Z

Walking is among the safest of physical activities, averaging only about one injury per thousand hours. So if you are just getting started with lifestyle changes, consider walking. For even more health benefits, take a walk in a wooded park for the added benefits of boosting your anticancer immunity.

Always consult your doctor before making any changes to your medication or exercise routine.

Anybody else have morning fiber (oatmeal) like me? Mmm... Especially when you add nuts, seeds, cinnamon--all the good stuff. 😋

Less than 3 percent of Americans meet the daily recommended fiber intake, despite research suggesting high-fiber foods, such as whole grains, can affect the progression of coronary heart disease. Watch the video “Can Oatmeal Reverse Heart Disease?” at https://buff.ly/3V3CDbv to learn more.

Whole grains pair perfectly with soups, salads, and veggie stir fries. Try adding some of these delicious whole grains to meals: quinoa, oat groats, hulled barley, sorghum, millet, ryeberries, and teff.

Yams or sweet potatoes?? A timely post with the holidays headed this way.
Did you know that here in the U.S., regardless of how they're (mis)labeled in the grocery store, what we see are many varieties of sweet potato? It's actually rare to find yams here (see photo).
Incidentally, sweet potatoes are *not* part of the potato (nightshade) family like Russets, french fries, hash browns, etc. Sweet potatoes are part of the morning glory family and *miles* healthier, with a low glycemic index - for those of you worried about consuming too many high starchy carbs.
