Ian Cheney and his colleagues made two excellent documentary movies about the business of growing corn in America. You will be astonished to learn how corn has become so pervasive in our diet and in our economy. The two movies are filled with commentaries from leading nutritional researchers, environmental scientists, and the farmers who grow corn.
In the August 10, 2009 issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine there was yet another medical study verifying that living a healthy lifestyle is good for our health. A healthy lifestyle was defined in the paper by the four habits of not smoking, eating a diet high in fruits and vegetables, exercising every day, and maintaining a healthy body weight – what I have called “The Magic Formula.” People in the study who adhered to all four habits had an 80% overall reduction in the risk of developing a major chronic disease during 8 years of follow-up. Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian is a cardiologist at Harvard Medical School. In 2008 he published an article in the journal Circulation entitled “Beyond Established and Novel Risk Factors: Lifestyle Risk Factors for Cardiovascular Disease.” This is a new feature that I hope I can sustain each week. I’ve put the content of the most recent podcast, Fitness Rocks podcast 136, into a slide show as a quicktime movie. The movie runs about seven and a half minutes. Check it out and tell me what you think. |
