Lowering Blood Pressure and Staying Healthy

Good old grapes.  For years I grew them and enjoyed them, saying that they are good for your health. Also a touch of good red wine is a benefit for those that can drink it safely.  I kind of think the reason now behind my Dads good heart was by eating his own grapes. Take a look at this article.

The consumption of regular table grapes, red and blue, lower blood pressure and improve heart health better than drugs, according to a study conducted by researchers from the University of Michigan Cardiovascular Center in Ann Arbor.  Just remember to wash them thoroughly before eating.

Drink More Water Folks

You know for years I have been saying folks don’t drink enough water.  Should say good water.  Take a look at this article.

It’s not just American adults who are faced with an epidemic of obesity. Children and adolescents are becoming overweight at an alarming rate. In fact, Centers for Disease Control (CDC) statistics show the prevalence of obesity among children between the ages of 6 to 11 has more than doubled in the past 20 years.

But now a study just published in the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine concludes there’s a simple and effective way to reduce the excess intake of calories causing childhood overweight and obesity, as well as contributing to cavities and other health problems. The solution isn’t a new drug — it is simply drinking more water instead of sugar-sweetened beverages

The Masters Golf. Five to watch (besides Tiger):

One golf tournament I love to watch each year is the Masters. I would have to say it is the best one of the year.  With all its nice spring colors it sure is a sight to see after sitting up here in the north looking out at white for the past five months.  At any rate, here are five fellows that are playing that I feel you should keep an eye on this year.  Great Time Of Year To Be Alive & Kickin’.

Five to watch (besides Tiger):

Mike Weir – He is far from the longest hitter, but the Canadian is crafty and has a great record at Augusta since winning in 2003, having never finished outside the Top 20 – with the exception of 2004 when he missed the cut.

Paul Casey – Won last week in Houston, and has three strong finishes in four tries at Augusta. The mix of power and finesse that could see him through to the Butler Cabin on Sunday.

Fred Couples – Too old to contend? It was only a couple of years ago that Couples finished third at The Masters and challenged for the lead on Sunday. If his putting is sharp, Couples, who has had a strong start to the year, could be a factor.

Luke Donald – If the wrist is fully healed, Donald’s sharp iron play and putting could make him a factor this week. He has a strong record at The Masters in four appearances.

Ernie Els – It is hard to imagine Els has not won a Masters at this point in his career. Apparently he has been focusing on this tournament, and has been consistent this year, making all seven cuts in the tournaments he’s played.

Good News For Coffee Drinkers

Well now.  I gotta’ tell you I sure enjoy my afternoon coffee. My wife and I have been having a cup or two every afternoon for a good many years.  Perked coffee though not the instant kind or the kind in them cheap coffee percolator’s. My son bought me a real good percolator for my birthday and we sure are enjoying it.  Has different settings on it for keeping it hot. I sure hate cold coffee.  Also I like it with raw sugar, can’t be beat.  Take a  look at this article.

It’s a pleasant surprise when something questionable turns out to be full of health benefits. First chocolate was found to prevent heart disease. Then red wine was shown to increase overall longevity. Now the spotlight is on coffee. Newly released studies reveal that coffee drinking lowers risk of stroke, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, and dementia. It even improves social skills and depressive symptoms. Other recent research has shown that drinking coffee reduces the risk of diabetes. Also a cup of coffee contains up to four times as much antioxidant activity as a cup of green tea contains. Myself I don’t care for that green tea.  Some say it’s good I say well……………….to each their own.  Now in saying all this remember one word. Moderation, Moderation, Moderation.

Obama and Seal Hunt.

Typical Democrat, if they  had their way there would be no hunting at all.  I guess it’s ok though for him to go out and buy a steak every night of the week. You would think there is more important things to be doing than taking work away from the working man.  What we do here in Canada is our business. What other countries do in theirs, is their business. Simple as that. Take a look at this article.  My Opinion Only.

U.S. President Barack Obama sees the Canadian seal hunt as “inhumane” and vowed to express his “outrage” during his days as a senator, it was revealed today.

Obama, who has not spoken publicly about the seal hunt since becoming President, vowed in a 2006 letter to animal-rights activists to work with colleagues “to ensure that we take all the necessary steps to express our outrage” with the Canadian government.
