This week, we’re turning our attention to skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscle allows us to move and to lift ourselves and other objects. The two primary features are strength and stamina. Let’s begin with strength. A simple definition of strength is the most weight you could lift once. That could be as little as a couple […]
Did you ever have to hurry to catch a connecting flight? Walk fast or maybe even jog? Were you able to do it? How about carrying a child who weighs 45 pounds for a quarter mile because she’s hurt her foot? Could you do it? That’s where your heart reserve comes in: facing challenges that […]
In my opinion, the single most important thing you can do to be able to live life at your best is to exercise your heart. Every day. You don’t have to run marathons; you don’t ever need to run at all. You just need to train your heart every day. I’ve broken it down into […]
“What’s the point of being alive if you can’t really live?” That’s what a colleague and I arrived at when discussing the purpose of a program we’re working on, but it speaks to each and every one of us. To be living every day we’re alive. I suspect one of the reasons we limit our […]

The final marketing point that the prescription fish oil supplement makes is that the DHA omega-3 fatty acid found in many heart healthy fish oil blends may raise LDL-cholesterol. That’s the cholesterol, known as the lousy cholesterol, associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Based on the studies I read, there may be a […]
Before I address the concerns about fish oil supplements put forth by the Vascepa® prescription omega-3 website, it’s important to understand that all prescription and over-the-counter medications have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). That means they have spent a significant amount of money—sometimes over $1 billion—to prove that the treatment […]
