Ways To Stay Healthy Biography
Source:- Google.com.pkNext month I'll be presenting a talk at the Utah Library Association's 100th Anniversary Meeting in Salt Lake City. My first visit to Utah and I can't wait.
And what better subject to speak on for a 100th anniversary than, "Centenarian Strategies: How to Stay Happy, Healthy, Fit, & Sharp Until You're 100"!
Right now I'm hard at work putting together my talk--which turns out to be the Best of the Best of this "Medical Librarian's Adventures in Evidenced-Based Living".
Since January 2008 I've been reading and analyzing the medical research on wellness, nutrition, & exercise-- and then trying out the reasonable strategies on myself--and my husband, who's affectionately known as "The Lab Rat". Yoga & prunes for bone health. Chia for omega-3s. Interval training, chocolate hummus, higher vitamin d, adding b-12, using a neti pot with Alkalol & saline, talking to strangers, oatmeal with turmeric & spinach....
We've come a long way baby! And I know a lot of you readers have come along for the ride. As for me, my life has changed plenty since January 17, 2008--and at the start of this project I thought I was pretty healthy already. Wrong!
Little did I know back then, that by 2012:
I would be enthusiastically embracing a plant-based no-oil diet. Never in a million years would I have guessed that one.
I would become an avid plant-based recipe creator & tester--whose husband miraculously discovered he liked to cook. My husband, a really good cook? Never would have believed it.
I'd be regularly spinning, lifting weights, building more muscle than I've ever had, & getting good at yoga--and, I'd even willingly get up at 6:30 am on a Sunday morning to fit in a yoga & a spin class. This one, I might have believed.
I would have lost 15 pounds, wear a size 4, & not need to be on statins, blood pressure, or bone medications--and I'd even get a health insurance rebate. Wouldn't have believed it!
I'd be friends with Dr. Caldwell & Ann Esselstyn, and I'd have the opportunity to hear Dr. Dean Ornish, Dr. David Katz, Dr. Colin Campbell, Rip Esselstyn, Dr. Ed Hallowell and so many others, speak in person on health issues.
Many of my friends, family, relatives, & co-workers would be interested in following or at least exploring a plant-based no-oil diet--to varying degrees.
I'd still be blogging--and would have started a facebook page in early 2012, enjoying & sharing the "evidence-based healthy living" ride with thousands of regular readers in almost 200 countries--and getting to know interesting, smart, & engaging people from all over the world--including many physicians.
Yikes, with over 500 posts written, and so much to share, I'm having a hard time cutting to the chase, getting to the nitty gritty--and deciding what to include--and what to leave out in this upcoming talk.
The plan was to touch on these key strategies, as well as share my own evidence-based experiences.
How a plant-based, no-added oil diet can prevent & reverse heart disease, and reduce your risk of dementia, strokes, diabetes, & some cancers.
How three different types of exercise can help protect you from dementia, bone loss, osteoarthritis, diabetes, & heart disease.
Beyond the body: Why we need to stretch our brains beyond our comfort zone, make time for friends, fun, sleep, down time, relaxation--& invest our resources in experiences--not things.
I Need Your Help!
Many of you have been following along with me for anywhere from 4 years to a few weeks.
What have you learned that's changed your health the most? Or what's changed your mind? Or what's changed how you feel, shop, eat, cook, spend your free time, or exercise?
I'd really appreciate your suggestions about covering the topics that an audience will find the most helpful, the most engaging, the most health-changing, and above all--the least boring.
What would YOU want to hear me talk about?

Please, give me feedback! It will be so helpful! And I'll be so grateful! Really!
I'm Taking a Good Look at My 2011 Report Card & My Fifteen Month Plant-Based Diet Update--And You Can, Too
If you missed my most recent "Report Card" from August 23, 2011, here it is:

I'll probably have less time to post while I put this "Centenarian baby to bed"--but, I'll still try to post "what's new" in health care via Facebook. And with this gynormous post, you'll definitely have plenty of reading material for weeks to come.
And speaking of what's new....
If you're not a facebook visitor, here's what you missed in yesterday's news. Pretty interesting!
Happy Healthy Long Life - The Healthy Librarian
Here's it is! After analyzing the data from over 120,000 health professionals for over 26 years, the verdict is in:
Meat's not so good for your health. And it's just as bad for the environment.
“When you have these numbers in front of you, it’s pretty staggering,” said the study’s lead author, Dr. Frank B. Hu, a professor of medicine at Harvard.
This is the first large-scale prospective longitudinal study showing that consumption of both processed and unprocessed red meat is associated with an increased risk of premature mortality from all causes as well as from cardiovascular disease and cancer.
An earlier study linked meat consumption to diabetes.
This "hot-off-the-press" study was accompanied by Dr. Dean Ornish's more readable editorial. If you must have meat--the authors advise sticking to less than half a serving a day. Paleo fans, take note! You just might want to consider a diet re-do.
Even HeartWire billed the story as "The Carnivore's Dilemma" with an interesting lead:
"Long-term data from two large studies might have more people considering a switch to vegetarianism, with investigators reporting results showing that processed and unprocessed meat consumption is associated with a significantly increased risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, as well as increased risk of death from cancer."

December 31, 2010--Ending the Year Right--With Good Friends, Good Food, Good Music & Dancing
Last year on my 60th birthday, perhaps naively, I sat down to figure out if there was anything I could do to increase my odds for a healthy happy rest of my life. My parents hadn't fared so well after they hit 60.
"Judging by my parents--that last quarter of life doesn't look so promising. Which is exactly why I've been paying attention to exercise and eating right since I turned 30.
That's when my dad had one of those massive debilitating strokes that left him unable to communicate, unable to read or fully understand speech, and eventually unable to walk or do anything. He was 69 at the time--just when he was getting ready to kick back a little, work a little less, travel, and just enjoy life. He spent 16 years living in this kind of post-stroke-limbo-state, spiraling downward.
My mom was 62 at the time, and my dad's stroke changed her life in an instant. One minute she was planning all the trips they'd finally have a chance to take--and enjoying their new role as grandparents--and in the next she was jockeying the world of wheelchairs and therapists.
