Does the news reflect what we die from?

I think we can all agree that the key is to simply drink more Ovaltine.

With vodka and Kahlua? Sure!

Was listening to Limbaugh last week and he was talking about this BS health stuff. Steps have diminishing returns at 7500 and 5000 is probably good enough. Coconut oil was bad for you, until it wasn't. The same controlling types on the left come up with this crap.

I don't buy into it. I'm not going to add to my stress level with this made up crap. I choose to enjoy my life and not worry about it.

The steps thing is complete horseshit. It's a goal set to engage the lowest common denominator of person who isn't active. Calories in/calories out is what matters and the macro composition of those cals in matters a lot.

My new Fitbit (Charge 3) is 100% focused on this abstract goal even though I have set a calorie goal as my primary. It's stupid. If I run five miles in the AM, I am hitting the 10K step goal by the end of the day, I don't need a carrot. I need to hit my calorie goal! The Charge 2 wasn't like this. It could be set to reflect your primary goal.

Carbs are the key on cals in, and I think most Americans could be a lot healthier by decreasing. Funny how newsman never says this. He's worried about coconut oil, eggs, coffee, and alcohol, but not the carb-laden 3,500 cal/day diet?

Is it the ad revenue or the agenda? Don't know.

Yes, we all must enjoy the time we have been given. I think it says a lot about a person who is willing to forfeit his happiness because a newsman said so.
