EXERCISE HELPS MUSCLES FUNCTION BETTER as WE GET OLDER

 Recent study in the Journal of Applied Physiology shows that exercise can help our muscles age slower which is extremely important if we want to golf, hike, bike, etc. as long as we can.

Weight Training as we get older can improve your muscle strength, endurance, circulation, balance, bone density, increase metabolism, help reduce osteoarthritis pain, lower risk of type II diabetes, and improve independence and vitality.

It doesn't take a huge time commitment. 2-3 sessions per week, 30-45 minutes per session, to really improve your health.

Restaurant Review - CUBBYS (Utah)

 A new restaurant in Utah with five locations along the Wasatch. A Sandwich, Soup,  and Salad restaurant that uses local, organic, grass fed, no hormones or antibiotics. They have vegan and vegetarian options, gluten free,  as well as grass fed organic beef and pastured organic chicken. The flavors of the items I have tried are fantastic. Support Local, Organic, Healthy restaurants.
