My New Diabetes Articles for HealthCentral:
Last month HealthCentral published four more of my diabetes articles about all aspects of the condition:
A big new review shows that people who don’t use insulin are wasting their time and money when they test their blood glucose. I agree. And I still recommend that everyone who has diabetes test his or her blood.
My newest discovery is a type of fermented soybean that is little known in this country but is popular in its native Japan. It’s called natto. It is healthy, unlike unfermented soy products. And like other fermented foods, it is lower in carbohydrate that the nutrition facts label indicates.
The important new book, Eating Your Heart Out?, is indeed about eating and your heart. But it is much more.
Don't have the recommended 150 minutes to exercise each week? No problem. You can do it in 20 minutes.- Fitness and Photograph for Fun:
Last month I published five more of my articles on staying fit by getting the activity we need. Photography gets me to hike, and hiking keeps me fit:
The Denver metro area is a big city. But all around it we can find much natural beauty including the incredible landscape at Roxborough State Park and birdlife everywhere.
At just 10 feet shy of 12,000, Loveland Pass is one of the highest passes over the Continental Divide. Since it's an important cross-country route, we keep it open even in winter, offering great views.
The Nature Principle
From views of both tame and wild birds as well hungry mammals, nature offered up her beauty at Red Rocks and Crown Hill Park near Denver.
You may well have the nature-deficit disorder. But if you do, Richard Louv's great new book shows how to cure this deadly disease.
It took three attempts, but I finally got to see the Rosy-Finches at Red Rocks, one of the few places where all three species live.
