Don’t Let The Bed Bugs Bite For At Least Eight Hours

There are many stores that sell beds and bedding and you hear about them a lot on talk radio. Many of the hosts have endorsement deals including me. Sleep Country USA has provided me with a fantastic Tempur Pedic. I am happy to sing its praises, and as an early riser I need as many hours of good sleep as I can get.

Blue Mondays Are Not As Blue As Wednesdays

 

Here we are on Wednesday, Hump Day, the downward slide to the weekend. You would think we would be ecstatic or at least happy, but an Australian researcher says we aren’t. Move over Monday, worrisome Wednesday is the saddest day of the week and here is why.

Fat Is Sneakier Than You Thought

Shocking news on the fat front.

Weight gain happens faster than we ever thought. Scientists say that once eaten, fat is stored on the waistline within hours. After just three or four hours of having a meal, up to two or three teaspoons of fat from the food has been stored

News Flash! Binge Drinking Causes Beer Bellies

You know what “they”  say about starting a weight loss program….talk about it…make it known that you are trying to shed a few so that others can watch your behavior and  help hold you to it…by way of encouragement or humiliation… depending upon the personality of your friends.  So I’m in…let the humiliation begin.  But as I prepare to say good-by to the beer belly, let’s at least acknowledge from whence it came. AskMen.com reports a beer belly comes from binging, not necessarily beer drinking. A study at University College London examined data from 28,594 middle-aged men and women, and found that beer drinkers aren't more likely to have abdominal fat than non-beer drinkers. (Good point…mine is clearly cheeseburger driven.)  People who drink 80 grams of alcohol in a single sitting once a month -- about a six-pack of beer or a bottle of wine -- average a half-inch bigger waistline than people who drink the same amount of alcohol spread over a week.

Limbaugh’s Secret Is A Public Missouri Honor

Where oh where was Rush Limbaugh today? Mark Davis was filling in and there was no sign of Limbaugh to be found. The cornerstone of Talk Radio on KIT and hundreds of other stations around the country is Rush Limbaugh. Despite the many organized attacks against him, the Maha-Rushie continues to get the last laugh, this time in his home state of Missouri.

Incredible Edible Weight Loss Egg

I am about to embark on a weight loss effort…change the diet/lifestyle and work out with the great folks at Achieve Fitness http://achievefitnessyakima.com/ …So I am currently scouting for information about healthier eating and getting more out of the foods I do eat. 

I found and article and a joke.  Woman: My husband thinks he’s a chicken…he clucks and scratches and eats corn and bugs. Friend: Why in the world don’t you take him to the doctor? Woman: Cu’z we need the eggs.  Ba-DOOM-pah.

 Turns out maybe we really DO need the eggs if we want to lose weight….in fact new research shows you may wind up eating less later if you replace your Wheaties with eggs.

Black Is The New White – 61 Now Middle Age

A U.S. survey indicates 61 seems old or middle-aged to those age 45 and younger, while those older than 61 tend to see it young.  The new poll found that 63 percent of those surveyed said they thought 61 was middle-age, 15 percent said 61 was young, while 22 percent said it was old. The perspective of age depends on what side of 61 one is. Those of us in the vicinity of 61 are only too happy to hear we’re considered middle aged regardless of the reason. In fact, for some of us, that revelation may even be the inspiration to start living in such a healthy manner so as to make it a self fulfilling prophesy.  The day of the dinosaur postponed indefinitely!

Age is just a number, right?  That’s said more often and with more gusto the older you get.  When I was a kid we thought 40 was middle aged…but the times they are a changing.  Now there’s talk that middle age is …are you ready…61!  I like!   And while I wish it had more to do with an expanding healthy life expectancy…it really results from the growing number of folks reporting in from the far side of the calendar.

Zuckerberg’s Casual Appearance Sparks Controversy

Well, this is a good one, it places me personally at the crossroads. It has to do with individuality vs conformity, and a show of respect vs independence.

Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg began appearing at investor meetings this week, embarking on a so-called "road show" ahead of the social networking giant's upcoming initial public offering (IPO). Zuckerberg has been late or missing meetings completely, and when he does make an appearance, he has been wearing a hoodie. So is that a problem? That is how he dresses in his everyday life. Is the lack of a suit and tie a show of disrespect to those in attendance, or a demand for respect for his individuality?

Americans Need Twice The Amount of Exercise

 Are you average? If so, you are only exercising half as much as you should!  Researchers at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention recommend adults 18-64 should get about 4 hours of physical activity each week.

 Here’s how they break it down:
