Today from coast to coast, there are primary elections being held—five today, including Michigan, and about a dozen more the rest of the month. It’s not just the U.S.—it looks like Iceland, Kosovo, U.K., and Zambia have elections this month, and there may be more I’ve missed. I’m a Michigan election inspector and will be […]
Plant-based food versus supplemental shake: that is the question. It’s not the only question, but it’s where we start today’s Health Memo. The supplemental shake used in the study used the same type and amount of amino acids found in the rice and beans. They also used the same amount of carbohydrates, fiber, and fat. […]
There are many questions related to every aspect of nutrition. Most may seem trivial, but it doesn’t mean it won’t be helpful to know the answers. One that’s important to protein synthesis is whether a person can get enough protein from complementary plant foods or plant-based protein from shakes with the same nutrient distribution as […]
After you’ve checked with your doctor to find out any limitations as it relates to exercise intensity, then it’s time to get after it—not to lose a whole bunch of weight, not to win the next 5k, not every day—but to make your heart and body stronger and fitter. Modes of Exercise for HIIT The […]
I have a confession: I married a woman who doesn’t like to exercise. I know—it’s not what you’d expect from guy committed to a career in making people fitter and healthier, but she was and is irresistible. Since we met, I’ve been on the lookout for fun ways to exercise, especially since HIIT (high-intensity interval […]
Before I get into this study on high-intensity interval training or HIIT, I want to be sure you understand that unless you’re under 30 and very fit, you need guidance and advice from your physician before you attempt a HIIT program, especially if you have cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or are on medications for these conditions. […]
Last week, I talked about taking inventory of where your body is now, primarily in your ability to move your limbs. The reason was that regardless of age as well as physical limitations, you can improve your fitness level; better yet, you can potentially accelerate the process using high-intensity interval training, also known as HIIT. […]
I’m breaking this into two separate inventories: your physical inventory, focusing on muscles bones and joints, and your logistics inventory. Let’s begin with your physical inventory. To make this easier, we created a printable checklist that you’ll find in the Basic Health Info section of drchet.com. Physical Inventory Let’s start with some of the factors […]
After last week’s Memo on Independence, I decided to follow it up with some thoughts on where to begin the quest for independence. Nobody is beginning at absolute zero. Regardless of where you stand (or sit) with your health, it’s time to take an inventory. I could include everything from lowering cholesterol, sleeping better, or […]
I spend a lot of time observing people; I can spot someone with a gait problem whether the cause is their lower back, a knee, or an overall core issue. I also watch people move who have weight problems, especially young people in their 20s, 30s, and 40s carrying extra weight. Degenerative diseases aside, what […]
