Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
Today is short and sweet. If you are a woman, or if you love someone who’s a woman, please make sure these ten recommended health screenings on the health radar.
Yes, life is insanely busy and challenging for most of us. This is one of the main causes of ill-health.
We all must find our own unique way of figuring it out.
Ever stumble across a story that seems so unlikely, but so refreshing that you just have to share it with other like minded folks?
If you’re a runner, and many readers at Lane 8 are runners, physically active, or are striving to be, then you’ll probably enjoy reading how GoDaddy’s celebrity spokeswoman, and race car driver, Danica Patrick makes running a top priority.
Can you even begin to imagine the benefits you’ll reap if you get started and never quit?
All of us grow and develop over time. And there’s sort of a bell curve to our life. We start out low on the chart and make upward progress, reaching our physical peak, typically, somewhere around 18-20 years old, and then begin a long, slow decline until death.
Exercise, of course, has proven benefits on all accounts. Diet on the other hand, is more obscure. There is no evidence, for example, that can scientifically claim organic foods will eliminate the types of disease commonly associated with processed and chemically raised food sources.
And yet organic foods claim to be significantly healthier for us. Yet they cost 50-300% more.
If all you do is consider eating more fruits and vegetables, than this Everyday Health list of the top ten fruits and veggies chemically grown will help you target the best ROI for your grocery dollars.
Men and women, old and young, we all need to worry about cholesterol at some point.
It’s simply a fact of life.
After reading this article, I’m more informed that diet alone doesn’t lower cholesterol because some people will absorb 20% of the cholesterol they ingest and others, eating the same diet, will absorb 80%.
In cases like these, medicine may be a logical choice.
What still remains unanswered for me is how do you know which you are, the 20% or 80% type?
Total Cholesterol – less than 200 mg/dL (5.2 mmol/L)
LDL Cholesterol – less than 100 mg/dL (2.6 mmol/L)
HDL Cholesterol – greater than 40 mg/dL (1.0 mmol/L)
Triglycerides – less than 150 mg/dL (1.7 mmol/L)
