Time to ADAPT!
Definition of Durability:
Strength - potential for power
Resilience - the ability to recover quickly
Toughness - ability to endure hardship
Sturdiness - showing confidence and determination
Injury prevention - staying fit and healthy
In my last post, I suggested preparing for the summer by eating as well as possible.
Now I'm suggesting that you add to your healthy nutrient-dense diet, good physical training to get you ready for your favorite summertime recreation. That's so you'll get the most enjoyment out of them - walking in the sunshine, working in your garden, swimming, biking, running, paddling, rowing, golfing, playing tennis, hiking ...
Your body will thank you when you train it to increase your durability - the five skills (listed above) which are guaranteed to lead to your bodies' future success.
Think about it, take the skills and apply them to one of your summer activities.
For example: you love to play Golf, and you're getting ready for your first tournament of the season. Using the ADAPT Durability program specific to Golf, you build strength, gain flexibility, get into alignment - ready to use those 34 muscles required for a proper golf swing.
Strength - you hit the ball farther and straighter than ever before.
Resilience - after each hole, you're energized and geared up for the next tee.
Toughness - a really bad lie doesn't faze you, and you make a great shot - like Bubba!
Sturdiness - you approach each shot with resolve, confident you can make it good.
Injury prevention - no strained or stiff muscles for you!
There are many sports-specific ADAPT Durability Programs - complete exercise guides designed to make you tops in your sport or other pursuits. I can help you get started ... it's fun and it works.
to your health and happiness!

Sweet and Toxic
You may be thinking, "oh, here she goes again, on her sugar soapbox ... True enough, but now it's coming out - on TV of all places! Tonight on "60 Minutes", maybe you saw it - I sure hope so - Dr. Sanjay Gupta reported on new research coming out of some of America's most respected institutions, which find that sugar-- the way it's being consumed by Americans today-- is a toxin. And it could be the driving force behind some of this country's leading killers, including heart disease.
Here's a link to an excellent YouTube video done by Robert H. Lustig, MD, UCSF Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology:
Please take the time to watch it. Getting informed on these scientific facts, based on research, may be the most important thing you can do for your health and the health of your loved ones.
To your health,

With record breaking temperatures here in the North Country, It seems as though Spring has arrived. It probably won't last, and even if Winter shows up again, Summer is certainly around the corner. As it approaches and the thoughts of outdoor activities make us smile, we need to think seriously about our fitness. Are there a few extra pounds and some stiff muscles hanging around? Now is the time to recall that good feeling of eating right and exercising!
Here is an article from Dr. Mercola - it's worth a read - we can always use this kind of information to help us make good decisions.

All Kinds Of Weather
March is certainly an interesting month - never a dull weather report ... add to that our sun's ramped up activity. Solar flares galore! And, have you seen the stars when we have clear night skies? - Mars in the southeast, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter lined up in the western evening sky; how about that full moon on Thursday with Mars rising along with it - wow!
This is a great site for following Sun spots and flares. You can even get alerts for when the Auroras are happening. It looks like we might soon have clear night skies, so fix your eyes on the the northern heavens - it could be glorious! Check this out:

Here's an excellent weather blog from Indian Lake, suitable for barometer-tapping, weather-nuts like me (and you?)

Enjoy the ever-changing season!

Let's help the US Post Office!
Doesn't sound good for the future of snail mail, especially in rural areas. Up here in the Adirondacks, our mail will be sent to Albany to be sorted, instead of Plattsburgh - doesn't make sense to me, given the price of gas, plus it will mean slower delivery.
A few weeks ago I asked about the popularity junk mail. No one responded that they actually like it. I say let's make it do the job of bringing in more income for the Post Office.
Today I got two credit card advertisements in large envelopes. I found a return postage paid envelope in each one so I loaded them up with as much of their advertising as would fit, sealed them, and will mail them tomorrow.
The PO will be paid for delivering my junk mail back to the junk mail senders ... kind of fun, and worth the time to do something about the aggravation. I don't know if we can save the USPS, but it's worth a try, don't you think?

PROTEIN
It comes in many delicious and nourishing forms, one of which seems to have become a bad word: beef. It's gotten a bad rap, perhaps you avoid it, believing that red meat is bad for your health because it contains harmful cholesterol - another bad word. Or could it be a false theory?
As always, I'm asking you to take charge of your health and find truth about nutrition. Please read this article with an open mind, and bear in mind that there are 40 footnotes - which means the facts are based on scientific research, not someone's idea or theory that was never proved.
