Craig’s List:
5 Habits of Highly Successful Eaters – Becky Harsh CFL4 and owner of Beaver Menace in CO. I loved this piece for its elegant simplicity. Becky has been coaching CF and nutrition for many years and has developed some easy to remember habits that anyone can follow.
Arthritis: You’ve Got To Keep Moving – Dr. Sean Rockett, MD. – This is a fantastic piece on arthritis and exercise and includes good data on long-term treatments including Stem Cells and Joint Replacement. And, it’s contrarian advice to many Doctors who recommend patients stop moving.
REPOST: I’ve talked with several members recently about Alzheimer’s and Rhonda Patrick’s recent blog and podcast with Dr. Dale Bredesen who recently published a book on Preventing and Reversing Alzheimer’s Disease. This is a very good resource for anyone who has family or friends concerned about dementia or Alzheimer’s.
