I'm honest with myself. I live in the midwest and every social event involves food and alcohol.As I tell my personal training clients in Chicago, the key to success is creating boundaries based on your needs...not your wants. The moral of the story is that we should accept that we will often bend the rules of our physical lives and live imperfectly. This is a good article to keep in mind as you determine what you can get away with (like my Chicago personal training clients).

Although you can not stop time, the right type and amount of physical movement can assist stave off many age-related health issues.

We've pretty much accepted that yoga is an effective life changing practice that is here to stay. Still, not all yoga practices are made equal. As astounding as the yoga practice is (I should know, I've been teaching and practicing for the past twelve years) it's still a physical practice, and simply like whatever other type of movement you can hurt yourself.

Rise in prostate-specific antigen in men with untreated low-grade prostate cancer is slower during spring-summer. Vieth R, Choo R, Deboer L, Danjoux C, Morton GC, Klotz L. Am J Ther. 2006 Sep-Oct;13(5):394-9. PMID: 16988533 doi: 10.1097/01.mjt.0000174346.36307.02

Serum vitamin D and subsequent occurrence of type 2 diabetes. Knekt P, Laaksonen M, Mattila C, Härkänen T, Marniemi J, Heliövaara M, Rissanen H, Montonen J, Reunanen A. Epidemiology. 2008 Sep;19(5):666-71. PMID: 18496468 doi: 10.1097/EDE.0b013e318176b8ad Conclusions: The results support the hypothesis that high vitamin D status provides protection against type 2 diabetes. Residual confounding may contribute to this association.

Omega-3 fatty acids, pro-inflammatory signaling and neuroprotection. Bazan NG. Curr Opin Clin Nutr Metab Care. 2007 Mar;10(2):136-41. Review. PMID: 17285000

Opposing effects of n-6 and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids on pancreatic cancer growth. Funahashi H, Satake M, Hasan S, Sawai H, Newman RA, Reber HA, Hines OJ, Eibl G. Pancreas. 2008 May;36(4):353-62. PMID: 18437081 doi: 10.1097/MPA.0b013e31815ccc44

Egg fortification with n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA): nutritional benefits versus high n-6 PUFA western diets, and consumer acceptance. Shapira N, Weill P, Loewenbach R. Isr Med Assoc J. 2008 Apr;10(4):262-5. PMID: 18548978 Egg fortification with n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA): nutritional benefits versus high n-6 PUFA western diets, and consumer acceptance. Shapira N, Weill P, Loewenbach R. Isr Med Assoc J. 2008 Apr;10(4):262-5. PMID: 18548978 CONCLUSIONS: Effective concentration and transformation of supplemental n-3 PUFA/LCPUFA from feed to egg substantially enhanced egg n-3 PUFA %DRI, particularly of DHA, critical for health but often deficient. Such land-based n-3 PUFA/LCPUFA fortification may be applicable to high n-6 PUFA diets, fitting within cholesterol limitations and market criteria. It may contribute to general health and specific requirements (i.e., pregnancy and lactation), with possibilities of wide accessibility and standardization.

Oral administration of both tetrahydrobiopterin and L-arginine prevents endothelial dysfunction in rats with chronic renal failure. Yamamizu K, Shinozaki K, Ayajiki K, Gemba M, Okamura T. J Cardiovasc Pharmacol. 2007 Mar;49(3):131-9. PMID: 17414224 doi: 10.1097/FJC.0b013e31802f9923

Effect of stable fish oil on arterial thrombogenesis, platelet aggregation, and superoxide dismutase activity. Chen LY, Jokela R, Li DY, Bavry AA, Sandler H, Sjöquist M, Saldeen T, Mehta JL.

"Friday Oct 16, 2009 (foodconsumer.org) -- Results of a new trial presented at an international research conference in Bruges suggest that vitamin D supplementation can reduce the risk of premature births and boost the health of newborn babies, the Times reported Oct 10. Vitamin D deficiency, which is common everywhere, has been linked in many previous studies to a variety of illnesses from heart disease, cancers, multiple sclerosis and many others. In the trial, Dr. Bruce Hollis and Dr. Carol Wagner of the Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, gave one group of pregnant women 4,000 IUs per day of vitamin D at about three months of pregnancy. They gave a second group 400 IUs per day, amounts recommended by U.S. and UK"

Athletic performance and vitamin D. Cannell JJ, Hollis BW, Sorenson MB, Taft TN, Anderson JJ. Med Sci Sports Exerc. 2009 May;41(5):1102-10. Review. PMID: 19346976 doi: 10.1249/MSS.0b013e3181930c2b Conclusions: Vitamin D may improve athletic performance in vitamin D-deficient athletes. Peak athletic performance may occur when 25(OH)D levels approach those obtained by natural, full-body, summer sun exposure, which is at least 50 ng·mL-1. Such 25(OH)D levels may also protect the athlete from several acute and chronic medical conditions.
