Maintaining the Ageing Brain for Wellness

Paul Rogers — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 05:07:51 +0000

The brain wears out; it’s as simple (or as complex) as that. The ageing brain has a propensity to lose function, but you can do a lot to slow or halt this progress. Various dementias and Alzheimer’s disease are possible outcomes. Both result in substantial and progressive loss of mental capacity — and in the case [...]

Low-carb dieting still has many followers after many years. Some people find it works for weight loss — if they can stick to it for any length of time. Yet the proponents and supporters of low-carbohydrate dieting are always looking for one more angle to boost the somewhat low credibility of low-carb eating among most [...]

Are the Framingham Heart Risk Tests Useless?

Paul Rogers — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 07:07:03 +0000

I trust everyone who had a holiday break over December is refreshed and ready for another long, hot and sweaty year — either from climate change or your exceedingly vigorous exercise regimen. The Framingham Heart Study and Risk Factors Commencing in 1948, the Framingham Heart Study is the largest and longest running study of cardiovascular [...]

Is Your Heart Bullet-Proof?

Paul Rogers — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 01:38:36 +0000

I credit Rad over at Eons for alerting me to the specifics of this heart rate recovery test, although I was aware that heart rate recovery research in relation to cardiovascular health had been around for some time, using various medical and fitness treadmill stress tests like the Bruce or Balke protocols. According to the researchers working in this [...]

Paul Rogers — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 06:36:36 +0000

I’m not a big fan of low-carbohydrate diets, or most other restrictive diets for that matter. For one thing I’ve been doing hard exercise since I was 10 years old and I’m not about to stop anytime soon. You need optimal quantities of carbohydrates and a reasonable quantity of quality fats and protein for health [...]

Survival of the Fittest

Paul Rogers — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 02:27:47 +0000

We all know that exercise and physical activity is good for us: authorities have been belting out the message for decades. Even so, it all gets a little confusing trying to decide how much, what type of exercise, and how to know if you’re doing enough by any measurable parameter. Now it seems we have [...]

The Fitness Wars Are Futile

Paul Rogers — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 05:14:52 +0000

I’ve put up a permanent page called Fitness Wars because I thought it should be a little “sticky.” It discusses the very strange culture of strength trainers who seem to react to cardio and aerobics with a crucifix held at arms length. It’s a very odd response to a very important component of health and fitness [...]

Burn That Belly Fat With High-Intensity Training?

Paul Rogers — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 01:47:22 +0000

The idea that doing high-intensity interval training burns off stubborn fat and visceral belly fat has been around for quite a few years. The premise [...]

Paul Rogers — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 06:32:19 +0000

How many times have you seen an ad for some wonder ‘erb or other that’s supposed to boost the immune system. It’s echinacea today and some Chinese herb the next, as well as a vast array of products that the supplement industry claim “support the immune system” — whatever that means.
