If Canadians didn't drink alcohol, smoke or use
illegal drugs, we could save our healthcare
system about 8.8 billion yearly. Added to this is
the loss in productivity of over $23 billion and
you can see the real effect that these addictions
have on Canadian society.
Want to live longer? Eat less and exercise more. You actually can do
it two ways. One way is to reduce your energy intake by 25per cent
or you can reduce your energy intake by 12.5 per cent and increase
your exercise by 12.5 per cent. Simple ideas but more and more
evidence is supporting it.
Blood pressure normally rises at higher altitudes. A blood pressure
at sea -level of 105/65 could rise to 115/75 as altitude increases.
Staying at that higher altitude will allow your body to acclimatize
itself to the environment and blood pressure should stabilize. If you
are visiting areas above 6,000 feet in altitude, check with your
doctor if you are concerned.
If you are over the age of 50, be sure you get enough vitamin B-12
in your diet or as a supplement. As we age, we don't produce as
much stomach acid needed to extract the B-12 from food proteins.
A good multivitamin should have at least 6 mcg in it.
