These numbers are appalling.  The average 65+ American gobbles over 31 prescriptions per year.  I see two options: let's get healthier, because if you were not sick to start out, 31 prescriptions will make you sick.  Or let's just forget about everyone and buy stocks of pharmacy chains.

Obviously option 2 means you and your loved ones will die sooner and suffer. But really, that's the choice we have made implicitly already.  Buy drugs, make Big Pharma rich, suffer.

I choose to be healthy instead.  And that starts right here with a chiropractic adjustment.

Yes, the sun is shining on me!  Today, I hammer high fructose corn syrup.  And I hope that Spring is coming soon because that sweater is starting to look really big on me ;-)




I find it ironic that you will pay almost 3 times more for the imported Coke.  Pictures from Costco this week.

Coke Made in USA: $ 0.29 per can

Coke Made in Mexico: $ 0.79 per bottle

Why is that?  Simple: your taxes are used to subsidize farmers into growing corn.  Then something has to be done with that artificially low priced corn.  Enter high fructose corn syrup!  Because your tax dollars already paid the farmer for the corn, it can be sold really cheap to the chemical plants.  In turn that makes it much cheaper for Coca-Cola to make Coke syrup.

So here is the cost/benefit outcome of this insane use of your tax dollars:

• Cost: obesity in epidemic proportions, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, trillions in health care costs...
• Benefits: cheap Coke!

If you're like me, you'll have a problem with that.  The most immediate way to act on this is to refuse to buy anything that contains high fructose corn syrup.  Costco is smelling a profit opportunity.  Smart people.

PS: No, this does not mean that you should drink ANY Coke.

Today's Near Perfect Minute covers a key aspect of a weight loss program that targets fat deposits.  I want to lose fat, not muscle or water.  So I am very particular about how I lose weight and I perform simple body measurements to track my progress.  This week, I lost another 2lbs.  No big deal.  But at the same time, I also shrank 2.5 inches.

For all of you who are tracking, I am down 10lbs and I have gone from 130.75 inches to 122.  By contrasting the relatively modest weight loss with the significant size loss, I know that my body composition is shifting.  I have less space-filling fat and more muscles.  I like that!

By the way, even with the super cold weather and all the snow storms, I still made it to the gym 6 times this week.  How are you doing with your exercise regimen?

Options:  Other numbers would be good to track also.  If you have access to a high end body fat analyzer, that is great.  Some blood tests would be neat also.  I am particularly interested in triglycerides level.

Thanks for the feedback and keep sending me news of your progress!  It's fun to do it together!

Yoohoo!  Another pound gone and my number went from 125, 4 days ago to 124.5 inches today!  And I have been snowed in away from the gym several times and less than strict on the food side.

Thanks to those of you who are playing and sending me your numbers.  Very impressive!

More next week!

Inflammation is at the root of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, asthma, arthritis, Alzheimer's, auto immune diseases and more.  Today, I start a series of Near Perfect Minutes that will explore where inflammation comes from and what you can do about it.

First, and because I do not want to talk about food at this time of year, it is important to realize that subluxations of the spine both create inflammation and, this is crucial, choke your body's ability to respond properly.  So first step, most important and fundamental:  get adjusted regularly!
