I'm tired of cooking/preparing 3 meals a day. It's just the two of us but boy oh boy can that woman eat!! She stays slimish, I get fattish. It's bad enough I do everything here much less start making her one thing and me the other. At times I feel guilty when I buy her fast food cuz of the nutritional value....not to mention I eat it too.
Spooky movies with jump scares will elevate your heart rate.
If you subscribe to Disney+, we thoroughly enjoyed Limitless With Chris Hemsworth. The 6 episodes explore ways to improve longevity. Managing stress, temperature shocking, fasting, strength, memory, and, finally, acceptance of aging and the inevitable. Very interesting.
It’s the difference between someone sitting in soiled diapers waiting to be helped and someone being able to walk to the bathroom on his/her own power.
stacey - there may be some measurement yr doc is quoting from some research paper that says that, but it is not useful info for the average person.
Exercise of any kind benefits you somewhere. The heart is a muscle. So increasing heart rate means you are exercising your heart. Walking will increase it depending on how fast and long you walk.
cw -totally agree. Any movement is better than no movement.
45 minutes used to be quoted as the time you needed to exercise to get any cardiovascular benefits. i knew it was bs at the time and research since has confirmed that less exercise still gives cv benefits.
It's not all or nothing

"Stride length is the distance covered when you take two steps, one with each foot."

In rehab, if a PT asks a patient to take 10 steps, I imagine that would be 5 R and 5 L. No?
So when I was doing 9,000 steps I was actually doing 18,000! And four miles.
How far is that?
ETA Just checked out bylaws and backyard fires must be attended. I guess I should contact the bylaws officer.
All you would need is a fire, Golden, just as you are getting the house ready for sale!
Checked out back and the neighbour behind me had an open 🔥 fire going at 3 in the morning - unattended. I suspect there is a bylaw against that and I should check it out. The smoke blows straight into the windows on that side of my house. I love having fresh cool air in my bedroom!
DH has an appointment with our long time ENT for Monday. Poor man isn't allowed to blow his nose until he gets scoped. Drip...drip...
Things are good here. No whines. Just gratitude for good health.
So true. Thank you for kind words.
I hope you find some on insurance or even at all.
It happened to my husband, his meds are not always avail.
And had to fight, here in Canada, as we were traveling and needs to be approved if you require them before due date.
So as we pay only max $25.00 it became some ridicules amount for portion of it.
An Eva? Makes me laugh, thank you for that, need one now.
No I am not some overachiever, not even close!
But, like many others I did a number on myself, trying to do too much i.e clearing and cleaning basement, and then could hardly do anything for a few days. Pain!
Like many caregivers, I believe all physical activity helps me mentally as well. I am committed to staying strong as who knows what am i going to face in the future?
Actually, I know, I will have to face worse much worse.
