This will be a short post today. Everything is good and we’ve had a relatively
quiet week. On the medical front this
afternoon I had Doppler scans for peripheral artery disease, aortic hernia, and
carotid artery disease. The initial
results were good and I will receive the actual results by mail in a couple of
weeks. The Lifeline folks were kind and
proficient which made for a nice experience.
Now, if there’s something you like there’s a researcher funded with tax
dollars out there to demonstrate why it’s bad for you. And with the Super Bowl upon us (This year I really don’t care all that much) new
studies are showing that watching football makes you fat (No, I can’t make this
stuff up). Actually the whole football
season can pack on the pounds. Research
is showing that watching football and weight gain go hand-in-hand. The sedentary lifestyle of watching football
along with snacking/eating for hours at a time leads to significant weight gain. And what the researchers are finding is that
football is more to blame for the November – January added poundage than my
beautiful Thanksgiving Dinner. So before
you RSVP to your favorite Super Bowl party…
