And here’s a bit of propaganda from the Washington Post about so-called functional food. The article basically claims that most food items that make claims for health are misleading you. Well isn’t that interesting, he FDA cracks down on so-called “false claims” but does nothing about the rampant corruption and political quid pro quo in the pharmaceutical industry. Good one:
‘Functional food’ is hot, but its claims of health benefits rely on flimsy data: http://t.co/fCxPHuBR #food #nutrition (Washington Post)

I guess that’s the big decision, isn’t it? You can get your beauty rest and sleep in and how does that usually make you feel? But when you get up out of bed a an early hour and go get some exercise, then how dose that make you feel?
It is pretty clear what the better decision is.

Great fitness advice! No matter how slow you go when starting on any exercise program, you are still way ahead of all the people still sitting on the couch. Even if you just start out by walking 15 minutes a day and then progress to 30, at least you did something to get started which many people never do. Don’t worry about what other people think, just go out and do it!
