You know, lately it seems like EVERYTHING can prevent dementia from diet to fitness to coffee to…you only have to check out the news to see what’s the latest cure. 

Today, I want to direct you to:

….That Buddha belly makes your jeans tight.

That paunch gets in the way when you bend over for the change in the candy machine.

And now a new study warns that a large belly in midlife could raise our risk of dementia when we’re old.

The study, begun in the 1960s, concluded that people who were both obese and had a big belly were three times more likely to be diagnosed with dementia in their 70s and 80s than those of normal weight and belly size.

Here are more resources for this particular discovery:

• Big bellies may double the risk of dementia
• Most are unaware of heart health, dementia link
• Belly Fat in Midlife, Dementia Later?

Hope the above is useful.

ThankYouVeryMuch!

A picture is worth a thousand words…and did you know that Flickr has millions of photos you can use under the creative commons license?

Have you ever visited a blog and see those cute little Ads by Google on them?

The good news for those happy blog owners is, when such ads are clicked, they get money.  Joy!

The bad news for those unhappy blog owners is, the diet/fitness niche doesn’t really deliver a whole big huge sweeping amount of moola.  Mesothelioma, now, that’s huge, as is DWI driving in Texas ads….but diet and fitness?  Nope, not by a long shot.  Still, you WILL get (more…)

Morning!

Did you know that March 26th is National Make Up Your Own Holiday Day?  And that March 28th is Something on a Stick Day?

No?

Well, do you realize this gives you rather unique ideas for writing your diet or fitness blog?

I’m taking advantage of that myself, of course.  Since I’ve recently realized that my physical abilites have gone, ahem, in the downwards direction, I’m trying to improve my all-around upper body strength.  Thus, I’ve designated March 26th to be: (more…)

Morning!

If you’ve been in the diet/fitness blogging arenas for more than 2.7 seconds, you’ve probably heard of social networking; it the ability of people to share and communicate their favorite resources and help one another out.

Today I’d like to talk about Digg with you.  Digg is a social network that lets readers submit sites of which they approve…but it can be so much more for you!

When readers want to submit your post,  they  usually  look for the nifty cool DIGG button that’s hopefully blazingly obvious (you can see an example over at (more…)
