The Book
Thoughts

I wrote a book titled "Two Cookies & A Mile," subtitled "Your guide to getting the most out of the good life."
 
Life should be enjoyed, and to do that we need to have the energy, enthusiasm, and attitute to get the most out of it. The book teaches us how to do all that.
 
I will be re-doing the videos and adding other things as soon as possible. Go ahead and look at what is already here though, and share your thoughts.
 
In the book I ask the question, "Was your mom a runner? The point I was making is that exercise and real attention to what we eat are new over the last 20-30 years or so. But modern medicine and some interest in healthy lifestyles are allowing people to live longer...so we are now seeing age related diseases that we saw very little of not long ago. There are recent studies indicating proper eating and exercise might reduce the incidence of Alzheimer's disease and dementia. My response is: of course. It makes too much sense, and I have written about that possibility for years. Our bodies are magnificent, but they need proper care. It stands to reason the better we take care of our bodies the better they will function. This time of thinking is what this site is about. Living well.
 
We need to eat right and exercise so we are as heaslthy as we can be and so we have the energy and enthusiasm to get the most out of life. Good news.
