Relations Of Physical Fitness To How We Age And Feel

I Feel Fitter And Better Now

I cycle uphill 3-4 times weekly for a duration of about an hour and a quarter each time. This regime has put me into a fitter and better person since I started it intensely 3 months back.

Before, I was on a once a week. The effects hasn't been good back then.

Now I have a BP of 75-115, Heart Rate of less than 60/min (at rest) and Body Fat at 23%( I must admit I am a bit PLUM). But I feel good.

We Can't Live Without It But We Don't Need Too Much

Salt were worth as much as gold Centuries ago. During the period, people went to war for it. Now, we are over supply and become a health problem for some.

In today's flood of processed food, we are over consuming it. We have this problem of high blood pressure, heart failure, kidney failure and liver failure more than our grandfathers. Why?

The indication may point to the same directives when the Government started to impose Nutrition Information and Calories per serving on all food labels decades ago. Read more here....

In Case of Emergency

Putting ICE to Good Use

There is an International Understanding relative to the use of ICE.

As we have agreed that most people would carry a mobile phone. The phone has some how represented the beholder in many ways. Fashion/Trendy, Technology, Status(which has actually not so important for now), Identity and .......

But we may put it to good use in case of emergency. In fact the use is far greater than our own personal identification.

There is a great understanding to many groups to install ICE then followed by the next-of-kin person to contact in case of emergency. In the event of emergency, anyone who pick up the mobile will know who to reach for the particular moment.
