For each extra pound of weight we carry, we put between 4 – 5 pounds of pressure on our knees. It’s amazing how even just a little weight loss can make you feel so much better. – Keith
Many studies have shown that a small weight loss of 5{1ee8873d3da54571ef77633feec9b2f18618b0dba2f28faf42edb28003d1c6f7} to 10{1ee8873d3da54571ef77633feec9b2f18618b0dba2f28faf42edb28003d1c6f7} of your current weight can dramatically reduce your risk of heart disease, hypertension, diabetes and other potential medical problems. – Keith

We are living in an “Obesogenic” or “Fat Creating Society”. The odds are stacked against many of us. The temptations to not eat healthy and be sedentary are great. Finding and eating healthy foods and snacks challenge many everyday. The stronger the challenge, the stronger the fight, the greater the victory. I say, bring it on. – Keith
A Picture is Worth a Thousand Pounds… I mean Words:)
“Heart Healthy substitutes this picnic weekend. Make a Big, Bold and Cold fruit salad. Skip the potato salad and coleslaw. Grill the boneless, skinless chicken breasts with a nice dry rub, low or no salt is best. Watch the alcohol, as they are just empty calories. Stay Hydrated. Drink plenty of water.” – Keith
“An abnormal EKG diagnosis saved my life. Make sure an EKG (electrocardiogram) is part of a your routine annual exam. An EKG records the electrical activity of your heart. An EKG will assess your heart rhythm, diagnose poor blood flow to the heart muscle (ischemia), diagnose a heart attack, and evaluate certain abnormalities of your heart, such as an enlarged heart.” – Keith
“I was at the park and kid asked me about my boo boo (the scar) on my chest. I told him I got the scar in the Canadian / American War. His dad looked perplexed and I told him I was stationed in Niagara Falls and we stopped the invasion before it hit the news. I continued my walk.” – Keith
“Its none of your business what other people think of you. Life’s too short and your heart health is too important to worry about nonsense from others. Instead, use that energy to improve your own health and wellness.” – Keith
“Do you want to have a healthier heart, exercise more, eat better? Are you putting it off for tomorrow? Think to yourself “If Not Today, Then When?” It needs to start now.” – Keith
