Eat Healthy Keep It Simple

Want to live a longer-healthier life? Keep it simple, everything you do in your life, at work, with your family, even when you choose what to eat, keep it simple.

Eating over-processed food is damaging to your metabolism. The fresher the food you eat the healthier it is.
Do you want potato chips, re-fried beans, rice? Make them yourself. It is cheaper and healthier, with no preservatives and way less salt ingredients.

Let's put it this way: If it doesn't spoil fast, then don't eat it.

Staying healthy is very important for us not only not to be over weight or to avoid diseases like diabetes, hypertension, etc, but also to bring positive energy into our lives. Feeling good is not only about expecting others to say hello to us, it's much more than that and so simple:

1) Avoid Anxiety
2) Do not over eat
3) Exercise at least 4 times a week
4) Eat healthy
5) Have fun in everything you do in life.

United States WILL NEVER DIE

Today is Happy LIVINGSTRONG Friday, a time for laughing and relaxing, a time to put all the problems in a bubble and let them fly away from us, all the way into the vast universe.

Having said so, let me introduce to you a wonderful song that I came across with on YouTube. It is abso-friggin'-lutely fantastic, hilarious with very smart lyrics. The whole context of the musical parody is so intelligent, really.

Happy Friday to all of 'youse'!

Stuart O'Grady Leaves Hospital In Spain

My best thoughts go to Stuart O'Grady, and hope that he recovers promptly. The world of cycling needs him on the road, on his bike. Hurry up and heal soon, O'Grady, you are a fantastic cyclist and a great inspiration for many of us who love cycling.

"When the ride finished of course I could feel my heart rate soaring, my blood pressure rising, but I didn't give it much more thought," O'Grady said of the incident.

"But then I started having blotchy vision and 20 minutes later I had a seizure and collapsed.



"It was possibly the extreme 'hyper tension' or maybe an old scar on my brain from one of my previous crashes but there's no use speculating or guessing, it's happened and that's that".

"It takes more than one lap to get rid of me," O'Grady added defiantly.

Hate Leaves CNN

Hateful xenophobic Lou Dobbs is quitting his contract with CNN as of today. This contract was supposed to end until 2011, but CNN President, Jon Klein, said in a statement, "Lou has now decided to carry the banner of advocacy journalism elsewhere. We respect his decision."

Well, hate sells and sells a lot, probably as much as sex does, who knows, but I am sure that if he got a better salary offer from another TV Network he will be working for, he will increase their ratings and earnings as well.
I wonder what network is getting in bed with him...Fox News maybe?

It's too bad that some people crave for this type of cheap entertainment. Hate infects ones brain and soul, hate brings disaster and pain, hate sickens, shortens the haters life. Hate, is never good.

1. As long as there is a market for hate, there will be work for bitter "journalists"
2. As long as there is a market for undocumented immigrants, they will keep on entering the United States illegally.
3. As long as there is a market for drugs in the US, the drugs will keep on rolling in my friends.

Let me make it clear for once and for all:

1. If you don't want hate, do not listen to hateful individuals who rejoice on hurting others with their words.
2. If you don't want "the Mexicans" in the US, DO NOT HIRE THEM!
3. If you don't want a country with drug lords next to yours...DO NOT DO DRUGS!

It's funny. I just published last week a post in this blog about Lou Dobbs, and now he's leaving CNN. What a coincidence, or not?

Some activists are celebrating Lou Dobbs leaving CNN:

"Our contention all along was that Lou Dobbs — who has a long history of spreading lies and conspiracy theories about immigrants and Latinos — does not belong on the most trusted name in news," said Roberto Lovato, co-founder of Presente.org. "We are thrilled that Dobbs no longer has the legitimate platform from which to incite fear and hate."

Tom Saenz, president of the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, the leading Latino legal organization, said, "The Latino community can and should celebrate that Lou Dobbs is no longer on CNN."

I am not celebrating Dobbs leaving CNN. He'll just move somewhere else where he can continue his journey of hate. And CNN is not that unbiased either. Let's admit it, CNN, Fox, MSNBC and the rest of the main stream media are not longer reporting the truth, they are all controlled and manipulated, they don't want the public to know the absolute truth and reality about what is happening around the world, so what's to celebrate?

I will celebrate when real and honest journalism governs, until then...

Iceman Cometh Challenge Michigan US

The 2009 Iceman Cometh Challenge is always held the first Saturday of November each year, in Kalkaska, Michigan.
This cycling National Event attracts competitive cyclists from all over the US, from the ages of 3 to 82. Some are amateur racers and others are seasoned professionals. They have it all, and enjoy the race, the beautiful scenery, well, even the food the organizers provide.

This is my favorite picture of the event, but you are welcome to enjoy some others.

Doctor Convicted of Assaulting Cyclists

Dr. Christopher Thompson, 60, is a real embarrassment for all of us who practice medicine with love, honor and pride.
I am concerned that a medical doctor can react in such a hateful way towards human life.

The crash happened on July 4, 2008, when this emergency physician stopped his car suddenly after passing three road cyclists who were riding down the Mandeville Canyon Road in Los Angeles, CA.
Dr. Thompson said that the cyclists were not riding in a single file and he "wanted to teach them a lesson" by slamming the brakes of his car after passing them and pulling back in front of them, but that "it wasn't his intention to hurt them", yes sure, what a psycho!

I am a medical doctor -have been for 24 years- and a passionate competitive amateur cyclist -have been for 10 years- that is why I cannot possibly understand this doctor's rage, especially when he saved hundreds of lives in his more than two decades of medical practice at the Beverly Hospital in Montebello.

Well, I am glad that he is off the streets for now, since he is facing up to 10 years in prison for causing severe physical injuries to the cyclists.

The LA Times reported these injuries:

"Ron Peterson, a coach for USC's and UCLA's cycling team, was flung face-first into the rear windshield of the doctor's red Infiniti, breaking his front teeth and nose and lacerating his face. Christian Stoehr, the other cyclist, hurtled to the sidewalk and suffered a separated shoulder."

"Our hope is that this brings to light how vulnerable cyclists are out there," Peterson, 41, told reporters. His face was permanently scarred from the crash and he underwent reconstructive surgery on his nose, which he said remains numb.

"Stoehr, 30, said the crash left him unable to work for months and that he rarely rides his bike anymore"

My most sincere wishes for a prompt recovery go to all cyclists who were injured by this deranged doctor. I hope that he gets proper mental treatment and that he never leaves jail until he can prove that he would never be a danger to society.
