Diet & History

An interesting TEDx by Stephan Guyenet on the history the American diet. Watch it and you'll know why we as a nation are getting fatter & fatter. Everything has a history, and this is a sad one.

Exercise Anyone?

The linked photos from Conditioning Research say a lot! I just received some photos of my 99 year old aunt, and I have no doubt that clean living of all sorts helped. (Her brothers, who died young and not so old, did indulge in some unhealthy habits.) I don't know that she formally "exercised", but I think that she has always been quite active mentally and physically, like the nuns study folks. Anyway, if you're doubting your need or ability to go out and exercise, especially when you get older, then take a look at these photos for motivation!
