Medicine harnesses the might of the immune system defeat prostate cancer
Doctors have been trying to enlist the immune system of patients in the battle against cancer since at least 1893, when physician William Coley of New York Cancer Hospital injected bacteria into a patient’s body in the hopes that it would spur the immune system to fight the bacterial infection and cancer cells alike. The tumor disappeared, and the patient lived for another 26 years. But immunotherapy was eclipsed by radiation and chemotherapy, which showed more-immediate and reproducible results. Last April, Provenge became the first FDA-approved treatment that retrains the immune system to target cancer. Scientists have tested it only on subjects already near death, in this case men whose tumors had spread beyond their prostate. Those who took Provenge lived an average of 4.1 months longer than those who didn’t. Now researchers at Dendreon, which manufactures Provenge, are looking into whether it can stop the cancer from spreading beyond the prostate. If that can be done, says Paul Schellhammer, a urologist at Eastern Virginia Medical School who studied Provenge in clinical trials, the patient will usually survive.

Joining a Gym
before you start any strenuous exercise make sure with your doctor that this is OK for you. You don’t want to hurt yourself or make yourself sick. For some people a brisk walk every day is enough.
If you have a certain exercise you love then by all means indulge this. If you love to dance, find a gym that offers dance classes! If you love to swim, make sure you join a gym with a pool. Exercise if by no means all about lifting weights. If you are looking for a gym with a pool be prepared to pay a bit more for a membership than a gym with out.
You also want to make sure you feel safe at this gym. It should give you an atmosphere where you don’t feel embarrassed or like you are gonna catch something funky from the locker rooms.
Finally you want to look at cost. Some places are very expensive while others are fairly cheap. The price can and will dictate the clients and what will be available for you to use. Some gyms offer discounts to certain groups of people, students with IDs, certain corporates, disabilities, etc. Always check to see if you can get a discount. This can knock a good 100$ off your year in some cases.
When you go to join a gym keep all these things in mind and don’t be afraid to shop around. A lot of gyms will give you a free trial day to see if you like it or not. Good luck everyone!

Fun Fitness Fact of the Day: Your body is built in the kitchen! Always remember that and make healthy choices. Here is a great article on the subject: http://natemiyaki.com/2011/03/24/the-8020-rule-of-fitness-nutrition/

I read this amazing article about the impact of nutritional habits on our body… a great Read.
here goes:
The 80/20 Rule of Fitness Nutrition
Posted onMarch 24, 2011bynatemiyaki
If you retain only one piece of information from my articles, I hope that it is this: your nutritional habits will have a far greater impact on your body composition and physique goals than any other fitness component.
Step back from the fitness industry, pop culture, or scientific debates and think about it logically for just a second. Lets say you perform 4 weight training sessions and 5 cardio sessions a week – a typical fitness protocol. That’s a total of 9 training sessions per week. That’s 9 chances to make a difference and change your body in a positive way.
Now, lets also say you eat 3 square meals a day. Better yet, as a fitness athlete you know about the advantages of meal spacing and eat 5 meals/snacks a day. That’s 21-35 opportunities a week to directly impact your muscle building and fat burning goals.
A common question in the fitness industry is, “what percentage of my physique enhancement goals will be a result of exercise, and what percentage will be a result of my diet?” Common answers are something like, “Well, they are both important. You can’t really assign percentages” or “training is 100%, diet is 100%”. But that doesn’t really give novice trainees an accurate depiction of the bigger picture. And in the big picture, diet will always have a bigger impact than training.
In our above example of 9 training sessions and 35 meals/snacks geared toward body composition improvement a week, that works out to about 20% accounted to physical activity and 80% accounted to diet. I’d say that’s a pretty accurate assessment of the physique enhancement process. If you want to look good, 80% of your results are determined by the food that you eat.
This is an article about fitness nutrition, not statistics, so lets leave the numbers behind and look at some real world examples. If you look around your gym, you’ve probably noticed some regulars that have been there day-in and day-out for months, or even years, but look exactly the same. All that time and effort with no results to show for it. What’s up with that? The answer is diet, or lack thereof.
Another good example is professional NFL offensive lineman. These guys are pro athletes that perform vigorous training protocols on a daily basis. They are big, strong, and could certainly throw me a severe beating. But most of them have a little jiggle with their wiggle, a large percentage of them are obese. How can this be? Again, the answer is poor, or no nutritional strategy.
Conversely, when you hear tales of dramatic weight loss or great body transformations, diet/nutrition is always at the forefront of the discussion. “How did you lose the weight?” friends will ask. “Oh, I went on such and such diet” or “I read this or that nutrition book.” People can make drastic changes in their physique with diet alone. Remember Jared from Subway (yeah I know he’s getting paid to say that, but you get my point).
The moral of the story is you can’t change your body just by exercising. As a matter of fact, I’d say you are wasting your time in the gym until you clean up your diet and implement a sound fitness nutrition protocol. It would be nice if we could work off last night’s junk meal with some extra cardio. Despite what some trainers would have you believe, it just doesn’t work that way.
When you are about to cheat and eat that slice of pizza or bowl of ice cream, remember the Fitness Nutrition 80:20 rule. What goes into your mouth accounts for 80% of how you look.

what a long day i have ahead of me today. at least i started my day off right and went running. i didn’t really have to BRING myself to do it, the rain just makes me sleepy. my run was very nice. it wasn’t really a work out, more like leisure running. i’m surprised it only took me 15 minutes to do my entire route, which means i should probably step it up and do it twice, or find somewhere else to run. i want to be in better shape and in order to do so, i need to start pushing myself a little harder.
another thing. I don’t understand why people sign up for gym memberships..? unless you live in the city where you’re fearing that you’re going to be kidnapped if you go outside, i don’t understand why you wouldn’t just run down your street (with your dog) or at a park or something. Night time is a different story. 24 hour gyms are convenient i guess if you work late and need something to do before you go to bed. i don’t fucking know.

Antibiotic resistance has finally made its way onto the Senate radar again and with good reason considering that we’ve seen antibiotic resistance across British farms and this year in US hospitals and nursing homes to name just a few. It’s a problem that’s only getting worse with the expanded overuse of antibiotics. It’s this practice that a Senate bill is looking to limit with the re-introduction of The Preservation of Antibiotics for Medical Treatment Act (PAMTA).
According to Diane Feinstein (D-CA), the primary sponsor for PAMTA, reported on Civil Eats. “[t]he effectiveness of antibiotics for humans is jeopardized when they are used to fatten healthy pigs or speed the growth of chickens. This is a basic food safety initiative that would phase out the misuse of these drugs so that food in supermarkets across America will not spread strains of drug-resistant bacteria.”
According to the FDA, 80 percent of the antibiotics produced in this country are used in animal agriculture. This amount is estimated to be more than four times the amount of drugs used to treat human illness.
The bill, which Senators Susan Collins (R-ME), Jack Reed (D-RI), and Barbara Boxer (D-CA), all have worked together on was outlined by Civil Eats and does the following:
Phases out the non-therapeutic use of medically important antibiotics in livestock;
Requires new applications for animal antibiotics to demonstrate the use of the antibiotic will not endanger public health;
Does not restrict the use of antibiotics to treat sick livestock or to treat pets.
This needs to happen…

The back issues resurface when I lay down, meaning (since I toss and turn a lot during the night) every time I move I wake up.
Also, the problem where my thumb falls asleep and then hurts like a motherfucker is still happening.
Basically, every hour or so that I try to sleep, I get jerked awake by a charlie horse in my hand and a stabbing pain in my right hip.
I AM TWENTY-TWO THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING TO ME
inspiration to get healthy though. I bet this would be better if I was in better shape. The back thing at least. Not sure about the thumb.
I can only hope to look this good at 74!!! Amazingly Beautiful:)

Got my exercise by shaking my stuff for 4 hours at Hudson Terrace on 46th between 11th and 12th. Blisters all over my feet and sore muscles all over my body. Worth it? Yes. I had fun and was easily amused by the crowd.
In 2004, brain scans showed that people taking Accutane suffer a 21 percent decrease in frontal brain activity, the part of the brain that plays a critical role in mood and social interaction. These brain changes may explain the depression, suicidal and aggressive behavior, and psychotic reactions reported by some Accutane users.
I took Acutane in high school. Maybe I would have had a better high experience without it. Looking back, I wish I had known more about food and health. If I had eaten differently, I think my skin would have been better and I never would have needed it.
purple potato eater on Flickr.
I call this dish the purple people eater.
1 lb Peruvian purple potatoes (or whatever you have on hand) 1 red onion grilled or sauteed 1 garlic clove Parsley (or any fresh herb) S&P Earth Balance (or Olive Oil) Juice of half of a lemon
As you can see this recipe is very very easy and you can adjust it to your taste. I cleaned the potatoes and slightly boiled them, then drizzled with Olive oil and roasted (at 400 degrees.) While they are in the oven saute or grill your chopped purple onion in Olive oil or earth balance and mix in garlic at the end just to slightly heat. After removing potatoes from the oven when the are slightly brown, mix with previously grilled purple onions and garlic, then sprinkled in lemon juice, olive oil to coat (or earth balance) and fresh herbs of your choice. I used parsley in this photo. Garnish with herbs and a bit more lemon. Bon Appetit!
PS The lemon is crucial to this dish as it is what brings back the purple color when the potatoes are cooked! :)
It’s not even 11am and it already feels an eternity. So I should update you guys, not sure how many of you actually read my text posts but whatever. My boyfriend’s mom went to the hospital with sudden intense confusion. She has regained some lucidity but where she remembers some things, she forgets others.
It’s looking more permanent by the day :[ she was supposed to get an MRI yesterday so we should hear of the results from that today. It’s terrible, the boy is 23 and already lost one of his parents last July. Losing both parents in just a year…I can’t even imagine. I am just so thankful I could be here for him.
Please put him and his mum in your thoughts guys, and put that positive and healing energy out there. They really need it right now.

Bottom line: We don’t know the real risks of excessive cell phone use to our health. There is simply insufficient evidence to make a firmer statement than what the WHO has made with their “may be linked to cancer” report.

Mono eating - the practice of eating one particular food for an entire meal, in sufficient quantity to produce satiation until the next meal.
This can be seen in nature. Animals usually eat one food, and one food only, until they’re full. There are no “recipes” containing 5+ ingredients in nature.
Benefits:
Optimal digestion, absorption, and assimilation
Better able to recognize when you are satiated
Enhances your senses, so that you’re able to pick up specific tastes in your food
Helps you avoid addiction to stimulation and overeating
Doesn’t leave you tired and dull, instead: Awake, Clear head!
Simplicity. Preparation is as easy as cutting a watermelon in half and eating it with a fork.
Examples:
4 Bananas (480 calories)
3 Mangos (390 calories)
1/4 of a Watermelon (340 calories)
It might take some time for your stomach to adjust to you eating such large amounts of food, since we are generally used to eating concentrated, high-calorie meals. This is where blending is a huge help. For example, I usually fix up some Banana Milk.. one of my favorite Mono-Meals. Be sure to “chew your smoothie” so that you get some saliva in with the food, and drink it slowly.

I’ve always had body issues. They stemmed from my parents constantly trying to push me into diets and telling me that I needed to lose weight. They don’t do it so much anymore. The reason I’m bringing this up is because yesterday I realized something: my mom also has body issues. I don’t know why this never occurred to me before. I was weighing myself for weigh in Wednesday and she was telling me how I should be exercising and eating right. This is when I started to get annoyed with her. She told me that she didn’t want me to get mad at her because she knows how I feels.
I’ve always been fat. Your father has always been skinny. I understand the struggle. I know what people think of us.
Then we both weighed ourselves, and we’re literally less than a pound apart. I never thought that my mother, a strong, independent woman, would have body issues. For all these years, I thought my parents were being highly critical. I guess they care.
(Daily Mail Reporter By MARK DUELL) — An abnormal growth of blood vessels on her left eye could have blinded her. But Christian couple Timothy and Rebecca Wyland relied on faith healing instead of taking infant daughter Alayna to a doctor.
Couple Timothy and Rebecca Wyland, members Oregon City congregation the Followers of Christ, relied on faith healing instead of taking infant daughter Alayna to a doctor
Her condition has now improved under state-ordered medical care but her parents have been convicted in Oregon of felony criminal mistreatment.
Alayna was born in December 2009 and developed the blood vessels that covered her left eye and threatened her vision.
But her parents belong to unorthodox Oregon City congregation the Followers of Christ, which relies on faith healing.
So rather than taking their daughter to a doctor, they relied on prayer, anointing her with oil and laying hands on her.
Clackamas County sheriff’s deputy Emile Burley testified in May that he made a child welfare check at the family home in June 2010, and instantly noticed a ‘large bulging area’ on Alayna’s left eye.
It was ‘the size of a golf ball, maybe a little larger’, he said - and photos shown in court suggest at one point that it was as big as a baseball.
Her parents said in another hearing last July they wouldn’t have willingly taken her to a doctor because it would violate their religious beliefs.
Around 20 supporters from their church were in court to hear the verdict, made by the jury in an hour, and sentencing was set for June 24.
Two other couples from the same church whose children died from untreated ailments have been prosecuted in the last two years.
Jeff and Marci Beagley got 16 months in jail after their son Neil, 16, died of complications from an untreated urinary tract blockage.
The Beagleys’ daughter’s husband, Carl Brent Worthington, was jailed for 60 days over the death of his young girl Ava, who had bronchial pneumonia and a blood infection.
They are expected to receive probation or some jail time, although the maximum jail sentence for first-degree criminal mistreatment is five years.
But the Wylands were the victims of inflexible bureaucrats and religious persecution because of their faith-healing beliefs, Mark Cogan, defending, said.
They were loving parents who fully cooperated with court orders, taking the child to the doctor and giving her prescribed medication, defense lawyers added.
But this defense was just a smokescreen, Christine Landers, prosecuting, said.
The couple had more than six months to seek medical attention before the state intervened but they did not because of their faith, she said.
The Wylands are the third couple from the same church to have been prosecuted by Clackamas County in just two years.
The Followers of Christ was founded in the 1890s in Kansas but moved to Oregon City in the 1940s.
The devout followers firmly believe that the power of prayer and the laying on of hands - where ministers lay their hands on believers while praying - can cure illnesses.
It’s thought that some followers secretly visit traditional doctors - but if found out, they are likely to find themselves ostracized.

5 Best Natural Sources of Calcium for Healthy Bones:
Collard Greens. Leafy green vegetables are one of the most healthful sources of calcium and magnesium. One cup of boiled collards contains a whopping 358 milligrams. Kale, broccoli, Swiss chard, bok choy and turnip greens are full of calcium, too. The one exception is spinach, which has a high concentration of oxalate, making it difficult for the body to absorb calcium.
Baked beans. Beans in general are a great source of calcium, as well as a hearty non-animal protein. One serving of baked beans contains over 100 milligrams of calcium. Navy beans, white beans and garbanzos are also full of calcium and magnesium, as are soybean products like tofu.
Oatmeal. Surprisingly, two packets of instant oatmeal contains between 100-150 mg of calcium, and more magnesium than a cup of collard greens. Quinoa is another calcium-rich grain. Try either for a healthy breakfast.
Sesame seeds. Just one tablespoon of sesame seeds contains about 88 milligrams of calcium, and about a third of the daily value for magnesium. Make sure to buy the unhulled kind, though, as it’s the seed’s hull (outer shell) that contains most of the nutrients. Try grinding them up like flax seeds and adding to breakfast cereal or soups and salads.
Almonds. Almonds are a nutritional powerhouse, providing a dense source of protein and fiber, along with calcium and other minerals necessary for building strong bones. Just one serving has 750 milligrams of calcium. Almonds, plain or mixed with dried fruit, make great snacks by themselves, or try replacing your jar of peanut butter with nutrient-rich almond butter.

Today, I did cardio (spin class) with a little bit of abs afterwards. My favorite ab move today was the plank. Man, no matter how much I do this move, my abs get their butt kicked! I usually hold the move for 30 seconds, take a break and repeat. Love it!
What is my theme song of the day? Well, since I went to spin class and was rollin’ with the punches, I decided that “How we roll” would be the best song for today! Busta Rhymes killed it on this! I love it! This song makes me push and then push harder! What is your theme song song of the day?
As soon as I posted about my first cleanse, my health-conscious friend Amy (loveandplaygrounds) contacted me. Here’s what she had to say:
“Hey I just saw your post about your cleanse and I wanted to tell you that those quick cleanse tablets are an absolute crock. There’s no one thing that is going to flush your system the way you want it. Cleanses are haaard and it requires an extreme diet change and dedication. At least a good one that is going to make you feel any kind of difference is. I just wanted to warn you, but chances are you’re doing more harm than good with those tablets. But then again, I never really trust any products like that.”
I asked her if she has a cleanse she would recommend and how it went:
“I did [a cleanse] the more expensive/painful but effective way and had an actual nutritionist, which you don’t need to pay for if you know what you’re doing. I had a handful of supplements I took everyday and essentially just ate all organic fruit and veggies (but not all) for an entire month. There is a withdrawal for the first day or two because we get so dependent on the chemicals we put in our bodies, but you feel soooo good afterwards. The food was really strict, had to exercise, and even had a regimen for what I could put on my skin (which makes sense because your skin is your largest organ and its only job is to absorb and expel crap). I definitely recommend it, but I don’t know how to tell you to go about doing it at home.”
What supplements was she taking?
“Design for health detox support packets. They’re supposed to supplement all the other nutrients you’re missing from fruits and veggies. I’m sure there’s a book you can find that’ll help. I just recommend all organic. Detox diets have gotten so trendy that people forget it’s about what you’re taking out of your body, not just putting in it.”
That’s a really good point. She said most natural food stores should have something close (if not the same) to the supplements she took.
I guess this isn’t a diet we can pull off in the holidays! Still, I’m going to incorporate more organic raw fruits and veggies. I’ll finish off this cleanse, let you know of any changes, but I REALLY appreciate this, Amy (loveandplaygrounds). You’re a huge help!

This morning I weigh in at 163.5!
I am rid of the 6 lb. gain from last week! I’m sure that alot of that gain was bloat from the mass amount of alchohol I consumed every day last weekend, but still, it feels good to have the number back to what it was before.
SO READY to actually lose this coming week rather than just maintaning like I did through ALL of May. Bummed I wasted all that time, but I’m just gonna’ push myself even harder now!
I feel pudgy and icky! I will definitely do two hours today…
Congratulations on wanting to make a change. It takes work and you might need to reach out for help from your parents, friends, or even the school nurse. Bulimia is a disease so it takes a lot of de-ritualizing and fixing your eating schedule. If you want to go un-anon and I can answer in your ask, we can talk in more detail.
As for stress, we all have to deal with it. Sometimes you just have to pour your stress into something new. A hobby, art, jogging, anything. Lay on your back with your headphones in or pick up a new book. Really immerse yourself into a healthy lifestyle.

got off track for about almost half a month now, though it feels like a month. now, i have to restart everything over again. WTH man. so not cool. it was going great then i hit a plateau and got injured. everything sucks when you’re in rehab for an injury. you can’t do the things you normally do and at high intensity/level. having to start small and low and gradually build up. it’s messing with my mentality. i feel like i’m not doing much.
the things you got to do when injured. i hate it. it’s so hard to cut down on the food i take too since i’m not moving much. :( i’ve gained weight, i now weigh more than i ever did! ‘cause i ate the same amount of food but with less exercise. let’s up that starting tomorrow it’ll slowly go back to the way it was before all of this happened.
small goals, one at a time (no particular order): 1) no eating after 8pm 2) eat when i get to school (tuesday) 3) exercise every other day (doesn’t have to be intense of long) 4) drink more water instead of munching 5) mini workout when i wake up 6) detox once a week

But now, at least a decade after many of us have been using cell phones, the IARC comes out and says they're "possibly carcinogenic." Why did it take so long to come to this conclusion? And, perhaps more importantly, why wasn't this work done before we all started spending 19 minutes a day talking on our cell phones?:
The truth is that for most technologies, we don’t wait around to see what the long-term effects will be. We don’t put cell phones on the shelf for a decade or so while epidemiologists carry out controlled studies on their potential carcinogenicity. Most of us — Americans especially, as native early adopters— want the new, and we worry about the potential consequences later.
via Cell Phones: How Precautionary Should Our Principles Be?, Bryan Walsh; Time Magazine
::
Why now, the article asks? Probably because it was a lot easier to sell the phones and associated (expensive!) services after diminishing the brouhaha of “paranoid” freaks who everyone knows are just “out to ruin the fun!” It flabbergasts me that the article does not suggest the financial angle a lot more than it does. Also flabbergasting is blaming the American consumer for wanting newer and better as if they pursue those wants in a vacuum.
So, we are moving next month (38 days from today). We just found out for sure that we were moving 6 days ago. I am a very stressed out person right now. We went to the new town last Wednesday to try to find a place to live. This meant we ate out for lunch and dinner so my diet wasn’t going to great for the day. Problem is, since then I can’t stop putting food in my mouth. It seems like I’ve lost all self control. I haven’t even been able to limit the diet soda I’m drinking. Usually I’m fine with one at dinner, lately I feel like I’m drinking one all day long. To be fair, I printed out a pre-made moving checklist and one of the items was “Start using up food you have stored so there is less to move”. Now I walk through the kitchen telling myself “Well, I don’t want to have to pack this”.
Tomorrow’s plan calls for lots of water, lots of veggies, and no junk.

Challenge: After this workout, attempt to sweep the floor swiftly with a broom. Tighten your core and obliques. You will feel the burn! :P
So I’ve been sick ever since I had that dish yesterday. So I had to change my plans about the whole diet. But I’m still trying to eat just healthy food, just cooked. I had an apple and a little banana though…Oh! I had watermelon as well :D teehee. The cooked food I had though was brown rice and some pinto beans. I ate the brown rice a couple of times when I was hungry. I told myself, screw my whole time limit about when I should eat and stop eating…I’m going to eat every time I feel hungry, even if it’s just a little until I’m not hungry anymore. I can’t suffer the way I did last night ever again. I was so weak and I couldn’t movie…I had a bad case of…”loose motions”…that’s how I’ll word it because I’m embarrassed about it. I also had a bad headache and felt dizzy…I even almost threw up a couple of times. I was dragging myself and I couldn’t breathe, I just felt so weak. It took me about 5 hours to feel a bit better. I still have a bit of the “loose motions” but I’m much better than yesterday. I don’t care if I have to gain weight to recover my skin and health in general.
I figured something. If my parents, well family, won’t help me with my journey and buy food I need to recover, I’m going to find a job so I can buy it myself. I think it’s the time to find a job at least until school starts again (That’s the only time my parents really give me any pocket money). At least it’ll keep me occupied and stuff for the summer and I won’t feel like a lazy butt. I thought I won’t ever get a job any time soon, not unless I finish my education…but I’m desperate to get better. I mean, finding a job is going to be quite hard these days…but I’ll try my best hunting for one.
Today I have a doctor’s appointment. And so far, I have no health problems. Though I have fucked up my digestive system thoroughly, I am quite healthy.
It is these things I am very thankful for. But I need to remember I can’t keep doing this to my body. I get weak easily, I have less muscle than I used to, and my vision blurs at times.
Despite my health, I will die in four years or less if I keep going down this road.

Diet Coke does NOT make you extraordinary, in a good way, at least. At it most definitely should not be the first drink of the rest of your day, or at all even part of your day. Why??
-Aspartame turns into formaldehyde and then into formic acid when reaching 86degrees F. Formic acid is the poison found in the sting of fire ants.
-Formaldehyde is stored in Fat cells, particularly in the hips and thighs.
-Aspartame has been linked to depression, anxiety, cramps, joint pain, anger, headaches, and more
I could go on and on and on and ON. But bottom line: What is in diet coke is a chemical, a chemical that is detrimental to your body, your mind, and the goals you are probably trying to reach by drinking it (energy, alertness, weight control). It is not a diet product. Drink the real thing, or just drink water.

75.6average life expectancy, in years, for a man in the United States
80.8average life expectancy, in years, for a woman in the U.S. source
» Not so bad, right? It doesn’t seem like it — until you start comparing us to other countries. Compared to an average of the countries with the 10 best life expectancies, American men live roughly 13 years less and women live 16 years less. Not only does living in the U.S. mean you may not live as long, but if you live in Appalachia, the deep South, or in northern Texas, you can expect a lower life expectancy than anywhere else in the country. People tend to live longest on the Pacific coast and the Northern Plains. What is ironic about all this is that the U.S. spends more money on health per person than any other country in the world — so what’s wrong?
It seems like there is a constant stream of new studies touting the benefits of vitamin D. Could this naturally occurring substance play a much bigger role in our health and well-being than we could imagine? Are we sabotaging our own health by spending so much time indoors, and always wearing sunscreen? Can we achieve a happy medium; protecting our skin and naturally absorbing the vitamin D we need from the sun’s rays? Or is supplementation the best, and safest way to go?
These are all important questions that we must answer for ourselves….
A small study that tested vitamin D against a placebo in patients with chronic lung disease found that those getting the vitamin D could breathe better and exercise more than those on the dummy pills.
The 50 study participants were patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who were part of a three-month pulmonary rehabilitation program in Belgium. Via http://www.webmd.com/lung/copd/news/20110516/vitamin-d-may-improve-breathing-for-copd-patients
I really don’t see why so many people complain about the taste of this stuff. If you want to enjoy consuming aloe vera, a smoothie is the way to go. I used orange juice and crushed ice in my handy dandy magic bullet, and voila! Aloe and OJ smoothie.
So, here it is, my bike route. In Muncie, IN they have a trail that runs through it called the Cardinal Greenway that I plan on riding a few miles on before turning around and heading home.
My iPod says it’ll take 10 hours to walk there and I’m hoping to get the whole trip in under 4.5 hours. I think it’s do-able so we’ll see. (that’s roughly a 14-15 mph pace)
I will change up a couple roads in the middle of my route so I’m not on the bigger, busier roads. I’m stoked!
