| I believe in the principle of Due Process  |
Whose salt you eat, whose song you sing. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

It may not be quite that simple, but there seem to be a few more studies recently that would indicate that intense cardio in middle age and beyond is not a good thing. | |||

But think of the shape you'll be in when you kick the bucket.  Now, we don't want to go too far in the other direction and be couch potatoes, of course. This goes back to the moderation thing. | |||

I have been in the Moderation camp for a long time! I also believe in quality. It's why we actually cook more and buy less processed stuff. That's the main reason we've been butter people instead of margarine. I read ingredient labels all the time, and thoroughly enjoy when I know what all of them are and where they come from. | |||

Guess I may be doing it wrong, then, because, when I'm on my full exercise regimen, I do High Intensity Interval Training, where I raise my heart rate to between 95% and 100% of its maximum, in intervals, for a half hour, twice a week. I'm 66 years old and have been doing that for about ten years. (Checks... Still ticking...) The GP I used to have heard something she didn't like when she did a routine check-up a few years ago. Did an EKG. Saw something she didn't like. Sent me in for a heart echo check. Tech, after a while, asks, in a puzzled tone "Why did your doc refer you?" "I dunno. Heard something in her stethoscope, saw something on an EKG." "Are you a runner?" the tech asked. "Not a runner, per se," I answered, "but, I do HIIT twice-a-week." "Well, that explains it," she replied. Results of the heart echo came back negative. If your cardiovascular system is up to it, I find it hard to believe intense cardio would be bad for you. That seems to me to be, quite honestly, nonsensical. As for the salt: It's always been my understanding that the main problem is salt increases water retention and excessive hydration can raise your blood pressure. So limiting salt intake should be considered if you have high blood pressure. Don't we have a cardio doc on staff, here? "America is at that awkward stage.
