I’ve been blogging about important topics like lowering your cholesterol, reducing heart disease risk and identifying heart healthy foods all month, and I want to continue the conversation with you by discussing how you can influence change in those you love. My mom has heart disease and I’ve spent countless hours helping her with nutrition and exercise. So I’m coming at this post as a daughter with experience in trying to get a loved one to change more so than rattling off “book smarts.” First, let me just say one important thing: it doesn’t matter how much you want someone to change, they have to want it too.

It’s not always easy to pick the wheat from the chaff because some of them have become so ingrained in popular belief that to question them is almost seen as heresy. Well I for one love a bit of heresy (everything in moderation), so I thought I’d take a look at some of the more popular myths and offer my take on them. Feel free to disagree or even offer some cool ones of your own because trust me, there’s plenty more out there. 1. We Only Use 10% Of Our Brain I still see this one Tweeted from time to time decades after it has been proven to be completely untrue. It would be somewhat closer to being true if people said, “we only use 10% of our brain at any given time”, b...

I learned a number of things that day. One of the more interesting facts was the way that the pegs in the piano hold a tune.  I noticed that Fred would never tune directly to a note, he would always over-tune and then come back to the desired pitch.  He explained that if he simply tuned to the correct pitch, that note would soon revert to its previous flatness.  ...

I am so disappointed by the following research findings… Researchers at University of Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas found that women with a family history of heart disease were less likely than men to change habits such as smoking and infrequent physical activity. In fact, they were more likely to engage in lifestyle choices that increase their risk of heart disease than are women who didn’t report a history of heart disease. Seriously speaking, we need to be smarter than that. If you know what a risk factor is, which I know most of us do, then why not do all that you can to change the situation? Us women need to stick together and support and encourage each other. Find a buddy to walk and diet with or ask your partner to help y...
