Paula’s recovery from her knee replacement is going well. While she’s been rehabbing, she does a lot of reading and recently passed on an article that compared the health benefits of coffee vs. tea. One of the comparisons was about fiber: did either have any? The article suggested that there was 1 to 1.5 grams […]
Now that the snow has almost melted, I’ve taken to walking outside. When I walk, I think. On yesterday’s walk, I was thinking about the Super Bowl Webinar. Without warning, I slipped on a patch of ice and landed on my butt. In the annals of slipping and landing, it was perfect. Legs out, butt […]
Note: As this email hits your inbox at 6:15 a.m., Paula and I are already at the surgery center where she’s getting her right knee replaced.

One of the basic tenets in sports nutrition is that we shouldn’t consume more than 25 grams of protein in a drink product. The reasoning has been that more won’t help you to add more muscle after a workout. This has trickled down to the point that it applies to anyone who drinks a protein […]
Most people look at the New Year as a time to make some changes to eating and exercise habits to accomplish health goals. For many, it’s reducing their body weight; for others, it’s getting fitter. But health is more than body weight and fitness. Many of us want to improve our diets, lower our blood […]
