This song makes me feel great:) I love the lyrics “Home is wherever I’m with you.” Did it put a smile on your face? – Keith

It’s more challenging to eat healthier when healthier choices are not readily available or simply unaffordable. We must simply do the BEST we can under the circumstances. Because healthier choices are more expensive we must strive to make the BEST choices we can. – Keith
According to a new report by the CDC, Obesity rates went up 1.1{1ee8873d3da54571ef77633feec9b2f18618b0dba2f28faf42edb28003d1c6f7} between 2007 and 2009. In the past two years, 2.4 million people have joined the ranks of the obese. More than 70 million people are obese which is just over 26{1ee8873d3da54571ef77633feec9b2f18618b0dba2f28faf42edb28003d1c6f7} of the population. The percentage of “overweight” adults is much higher. Heart disease and other related illnesses are surely expected to rise. I just want to scream. – Keith
I had 3 radio interviews today. One host asked if I prayed about not overeating to stay healthy. Well, I don’t talk religion or politics. I did tell her I said Keith’s prayer. When I wake up I say “Help Me Make It Through The Day And Keep The Food At Bay”, and at night I say “At The End Of The Day I Kept The Food At Away.” – Keith
I get asked what spices I use. Looking in my pantry I have pepper, garlic powder, paprika, smoked paprika, cayenne, thyme, sweet basil, parsley, rosemary, crushed red pepper, cumin, tumeric, coriander, oregano, and chili powder. I use a lot of fresh herbs and garlic too. What do you use to keep it tasty? – Keith
“I went to a wedding reception and there were 3 Cardiac ER nurses there. One of them said that this was the safest party in town and that there was no way anyone could die there. She said that if something were to happen the patient would surely survive at least until they got to the hospital. It was the funniest and truest thing I have heard in a long while. Nurses are the greatest. They do what the doctors can’t” – Keith
We are the Cure. Since 1999, the death rate from coronary heart disease has decreased by 23{1ee8873d3da54571ef77633feec9b2f18618b0dba2f28faf42edb28003d1c6f7}; the death rate from stroke has been reduced by 19{1ee8873d3da54571ef77633feec9b2f18618b0dba2f28faf42edb28003d1c6f7}; and high cholesterol prevalence was reduced by 20{1ee8873d3da54571ef77633feec9b2f18618b0dba2f28faf42edb28003d1c6f7}.Much of this success in fighting cardiovascular diseases and stroke is due to the research, public education efforts, medical training and community health programs funded by the American Heart Association.

“Pumping from our heart, It takes blood about 20 seconds to circulate throughout the entire vascular system. Blood is approximately 78{1ee8873d3da54571ef77633feec9b2f18618b0dba2f28faf42edb28003d1c6f7} water. Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of plain water. Water is key to good health and weight control.” – Keith
“Shop with a list. No list, No grocery shopping. This has really helped me keep the garbage (unhealthy) foods away and out of the house. Impulse buying for me is almost non-existent. Add heart healthy foods to your list and stick to it. Keep a grocery list on the counter and add items throughout the week. Remember, If it doesn’t go in the cart, it can’t hitch a ride home.” – Keith
“The Heart Healthy benefits of fruits are enormous. Fruits are rich in fiber, natural minerals, and vitamins to name a few. Choose a variety of colorful fruits and snack away. I’ve had some fantastic nectarines, blueberries and red seedless grapes in the last couple weeks. Look for what’s on sale to tell you what’s in season and fresh. What great tasting fruits have you had lately?” – Keith
