Once in a while, a health news story makes you do a double-take and say, “Did I just read what I thought I read?” The legislature in West Virginia passed a bill to delay the implementation of water safety guidelines from the Environmental Protection Agency for two years. They’re allowing delays in the restriction of […]
Based on last week’s push-up challenge, many of you have emailed me to let me know how you did. No matter how many or how few push-ups you did, it’s a start that can help you increase your muscular strength and stamina. All you have to do is to continue to do them as part […]
The study on firefighters, push-ups, and CVD was interesting—not only for the relationship between push-ups and CVD, but also for the other relationships between the number of push-ups and other variables. Here’s a summary: As the number of push-ups increased: Body mass index decreased Systolic and diastolic blood pressure decreased Blood sugar decreased Total cholesterol, […]
On Tuesday, I asked you to see how many push-ups you can do before you can’t do any more (if you’re fit enough with no real orthopedic issues). How did you do? I have torn biceps in both arms, but I managed to eke out 21. But you may be wondering why I asked you […]

Quick question: what side effect do you typically assign to eating asparagus? I bet you took less than a second to come up an answer: a different odor to your urine, sometimes quite pungent. Asparagus is a cruciferous vegetable with phytonutrients that produce the effect. On Tuesday and Thursday, we looked at digestive problems with […]
The next keto diet issues are still related to the digestive system: excessive gas and constipation. Let’s address the issue of gas first so that maybe the next time you bend over, you won’t have to worry about challenging the strength of your anal sphincter muscles. The protein content of the revised keto diet may […]
News stories about the side-effects of the still-popular ketogenic diet are showing up more frequently, so let’s review those this week and look at what you can do to address the issues while still attempting to stay in ketosis. The first side effect is generally diarrhea. With the newer version of the ketogenic diets, the […]
I think the best way to assess whether the study I’ve been examining this week on protein and longevity is meaningful or not is to examine the interview with the primary author Christopher Proud, PhD. I’m going to give a series of his statements and whether the research addressed the question. “Science has shown for […]
Let’s think about this logically. If we wanted to prove that a high-protein diet would decrease lifespan, we would have to feed some type of animal a diet high in protein until all the animals had died. It would be preferable to have animals that don’t live very long such as rodents. Then we compare […]
