Healthy Bones

pump iron By Holly

The next time you find yourself straining to do one more push up or free weight rep, think of this alarming statistic from the National Osteoporosis Foundation:  This disease threatens the bone health of roughly 55% of the U.S. population over 50 years of age, and can strike anyone at any age.

Today on The Doctors, they reported that one in every two women in the U.S., over the age of 50, could suffer a bone fracture related to either osteopenia (the stage of bone loss prior to a diagnosis of osteoporosis) or osteoporosis. Most people are diagnosed with osteoporosis from a bone break as a result of the disease, usually in the hip or spine…yikes!

So why the need to power through your workouts? Resistance and strength training is one of the best ways to ensure and restore bone health.

Golden Girls

next-gen-0906-po04by Cross Woodfield

At first I just decided to write this article because I thought to myself that sometimes it is ok to just look at some really gorgeous pictures.  Sometimes, in fact, you need to. Next Generation

These photos are just a few in the fabulous article in the upcoming Vanity Fair called “Fortune’s Children” about the world’s most eligible heirs and heiresses.  Please feel free to drool and admire, but also if you would like to, think about the following, because as usual I have something semi-philosophical to say: my parents always told me it was important to work, that even if they’d had all the money in the world, they’d still want me to work in order to be fulfilled and be happy.  Read More »

Need Guidance? Follow your Toes.

toereadingbykcmiller By Christiénne Miller

My Friday confession from my fingertips to your eyes is that I’ve spent the entire morning playing with my toes. Well, not so much playing, per se, but trying to “read” them.

It all started with a brief news segment I saw featuring KC Miller, Founder/Director of the Southwest Institute of Healing Arts in Tempe, Arizona.

With a background in reflexology and other healing arts, KC reads toes, offers a free toe reading course and toe products for spiritual healing, in addition to authoring the book Toe Reading: Are You Walking Your Destined Path? Read More »

Corn Flakes, a Must Read

book-hilburn-2tby Harlow Essex

Looking for a great read? This just in-: Robert Hilburn’s recent contribution, Corn Flakes with John Lennon. Acclaimed editor of the Los Angeles Times and longtime respected pop/rock music critic of the last 40 years, Robert Hilburn has compiled years of rare interviews with the likes of Johnny Cash, John Lennon, Michael Jackson, and Bruce Springsteen to name a few. In this unique manuscript, Hilburn reflects on the ways he has changed and been changed by the people and artists he’s covered.

“Corn Flakes with John Lennon is more than about one man’s adventures in rock and roll: It’s the gripping and untold story of how popular music reshapes the way we think about the world and helps to define the modern American character.” LA Times.

“Hilburn’s amazing resilience and commitment for music shines through his decades of reportage and reviews of music. On behalf of the musicians of the ’60s on, I thank you for having been the communicator of our music with love.” –Yoko Ono

So excited! I think, a must read for music lovers everywhere.
