Staying healthy through diet and testing

CNN recently reported a BBC article that showed colon cancer rates are down since the 1980s. Main reason - people are getting tested. Colon cancer has been the number one cause of cancer deaths, and with regular testing, is preventable. So, GO GET YOUR TEST!

WSJ had an interesting article on doctors, chefs and nutritionists teaming up to learn how diet and health can support each other. Of particular interest to me, was the story of New York chef, Seamus Mullen, who has written a cook book called Hero Food. Through diet he was able to reverse the effects of rheumatoid arthritis. In some states, doctors are writing prescriptions for fruits and vegetables that people can get filled at farmers markets. It's a farm to pharma idea.

So, exercise, eat a Mediterranean diet and get your tests done!
