Guest guest Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 I agree with you, Candace, the Nuns' Study is fascinating. http://www.justpacific.com/bits'n'pieces/alzheimers.html Most who aged well were active physically and ate in moderation. Their power of positive thinking was also a key factor. The Delany sisters had a lot of organic vegetables in their menus and did daily Yoga postures. http://www.demko.com/m020708.htm " Dare to Be 100 " was good book full of ways to age well. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0684800217/104-7088827-0603140?v=glance & n=28315\ 5 Books by Dr. D'Adamo are worth reading too. " Eat Right 4 Your Type " taught me a lot. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/039914255X/qid=1137440673/sr=2-1/ref=pd_bbs_b_2\ _1/104-7088827-0603140?s=books & v=glance & n=283155 I included the links to Amazon because they have the reviews. I think by sticking with the BFL lifestyle, our circulation and general health is bound to remain in good shape. Wellness is not just about a dress size. We know that.
