    Honey-some uses not thought of.

    Posted on: Wednesday, May 30th, 2007 in: Toward better health.

    There are several uses for honey I never thought of. My “Grandaddy” raised peaches and apples. To pollinate the trees he kept bees. I have been interested in Honey and its uses lately-perhaps I am remembering him, perhaps it is my interest based on my congestive heart failure, perhaps I am just looking for a […]

    Honey—it’s healing sweetness.

    Posted on: Tuesday, May 29th, 2007 in: Food Ideas

    Honey is an old remedy for lots of things. The name honey comes from the ancient Hebrew and means “enchant”. There have been and are many uses for the healing product of bees.
    Bees are very sensitive and die if they come in contact with toxins, as a result honey is very low in toxins and […]

    Memorial Day-To honor those who gave all.

    Posted on: Monday, May 28th, 2007 in: Special Events

    What does it mean when we say “He’s got heart.”? I believe it means we are praising one for having the fortitude, the endurance, the tenacity, to get the job done. Lots of men and women of our armed services have heart.
    I am talking of those members of the armed forces past and present. These […]

    Second Childhood? or Cycling to be healthy?

    Posted on: Sunday, May 27th, 2007 in: Exercise Equipment to Use

    Cycling for Health
    These days I see more of us (Mature Citizens) on bicycles than I do the youngun’s. The youngsters of today are not as likely to be on a bike as they are on their Mom’s back for a ride to here or there.
    I remember when I got my first bike (previous article), I […]

    Bored? Change it up!!!

    Posted on: Thursday, May 24th, 2007 in: Toward better health.

    I try to do a good routine and stay with it. Boredom takes over, so to make it more pleasant to walk—do it differently.
    Get off the treadmill and on the trail. Walk in your neighborhood and make it a point to meet one or two new people. Try a track instead of the treadmill. Get […]

    Heart Healthy Rowing

    Posted on: Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007 in: Exercise Equipment to Use

    The rowing machine is one of the fastest fat burners in the gym. During this exercise the body is put under a regimen of movement like that of no other activity.
    All of the large muscles are moved. The arms, legs, gluts, and some muscles I did not even know I had, all moving in what […]

    A Gift of Good Health for the Grad

    Posted on: Tuesday, May 15th, 2007 in: Exercise Equipment to Use

    I do believe the youth of today are far more tuned to living healthy than I was at the time I graduated from high school. Most of this years class will have been taught from kindergarten about the evils of smoking, the danger of being overweight, and the value of good health. I don’t […]

    Measuring Success

    Posted on: Tuesday, May 15th, 2007 in: Toward better health.

    I wrote about the importance of daily weighing to check for fluid retention. I want to say that my daily weight check has now become a check for success. It seems to me the little downward changes, make a big difference in my attitude.
    Success breeds success—I used to hear that from older folks and didn’t […]
