Ahh yes, the Beatles’ White Album remains as relevant today as it was some 40 years ago when it was released. My team finds itself in the lowly ranking of #9 in overall steps walked, relative to other teams in the challenge. With a week and half left I am going to have to energize my group. . . No time for mere evolutionary processes, I am going to have to lead a walking revolution. BTW, I enjoyed my first “walking” meeting yesterday with Marketing Director Tricia Murdoch. We logged a 1,000 or steps while hashing through world events.

Salubriously Sauntering,

Hi, I just found this little ditty on-line, under the heading of how to live to be 100….

Live like a Seventh-day Adventist

Americans who define themselves as Seventh-day Adventists have an average life expectancy of 89, about a decade longer than the average American. One of the basic tenets of the religion is that it’s important to cherish the body that’s on loan from God, which means no smoking, alcohol abuse, or overindulging in sweets. Followers typically stick to a vegetarian diet based on fruits, vegetables, beans, and nuts, and also get plenty of exercise. They’re also very focused on family and community.

Walk on

Dr.D.

A research article published in the Australian Journal of Primary Health suggests that individuals who increased their daily walk from 20 to 40 minutes, experienced improvements in feelings of well being. While the study focused on type -2 diabetics, there is a broader message here. A daily exercise routine, including one centered on walking, improves your outlook on life and creates a sense of wellness.  Yet another reason to take a hike. Australian Journal of Primary Health 13(1) 68 – 73.

Ramblin on,

Greetings everyone,

Its been an exceptionally busy week, apologies for being out of touch. My 1st pedometer  bit the dust a few days ago, wouldn’t you know it, it happened on a day in which I felt I would have 10,000 steps by lunch. I must admit to suffering through a few sub-par (<10,000 steps) days in the last week. The good news is that I have been invited to do some good ole fashion preaching in Alberta, Canada this upcoming weekend. I am going to burn a few Kcals up there, and log in a few thousand steps. If President Obama can meet with the Canadian Prime Mininster, I can chase a few moose in the name of health and the environment.

Look out for an article on the Challenge which should appear in the San Bernardino Sun on Monday, the 23rd. And yes, anyone who wants to have a wellness assessment as described in my last blog entry, there is no cost to you. Dr.Dos Santos and his team look forward to seeing you down at the Drayson Center on Monday or Wednesday mornings.

Stepping into the Future,

Dr.D.
