Fitness in Middle Age May Mean Less Chronic Disease Later in Life

Since grammar school, I thought of middle age to be an age over 55 years old. This study, published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, claims that those fit in their 30s to their 50s may have less chronic illness later in life.

New York Times Article on Exercise Motivation

People often give up when they don't see the pounds come off, but what should be emphasized, the author writes, is the present benefits to exercise.

I say that they are improvements in health statistics, increased energy, heightened mental focus and happiness, and the start to a road of increased endurance, strength and flexibility for a higher quality of life.

Fat in the Middle

Yep, a new study, presented at the European Society of Cardiology, concludes that people with a normal BMI but high waist-to-hip ration have a a greater risk of death from a cardiovascular incident than people or normal BMI and waist-to-hip ratio or even the obese. I have previously blogged about how lower body fat on women can actually be healthy.

New Study on Artherosclerosis and Egg Yolks

I would say to eat egg yolks in moderation. This means different things for those of differnet health levels, family disease history, activity levels, and workout intensities. Be connected to your body to know what too much is for you. For instance, if you have two scrambled eggs and a four-egg omelette one week, but eat no egg yolks the next week, that may be fine.

Here is the study. Look up more on www.Pubmed.gov and ask your physician about any situation or complications you may have.
