Knowing MyPersonalWellnessGuide by the numbers.
The Seven Things We Should All Know - Part Three Know Your Homocysteine
Know Your Homocysteine
The third of the seven things we should all know is our homocysteine, which is a key risk factor for cardiovascular disease, stroke, and dementia (and has also been implicated in some cancers).
The Seven Things We Should All Know - Part Two Know Your Hemoglobin A1c
Know Your Hemoglobin A1c
In addition to CRP, we all should know our hemoglobin A1c (HgbA1c). When you peer into the crystal ball to ask whether you will develop diabetes or vascular disease or dementia, an important part of the answer will be based on your HgbA1c. Hemoglobin, of course, is the protein that carries your oxygen, picking it up in your lungs and depositing it where you need it, in your brain, your muscles, your organs, etc.

Emotions are strange. Really, they are. Maybe it’s the mysterious nature of emotions or maybe it’s the power they hold over us. Of course, most of us don’t really understand emotions, and we really don’t spend much time thinking about them because they seem to happen so naturally. Quite often emotions are great.
Strength Training For Wellness
While virtually everyone is aware of the benefits of aerobic exercise, there still seems to be a lot of confusion about the subject of weight training and its place in an overall wellness program. Maybe it’s some residual confusion left over from the “Pumping Iron” days when weight training was something done only by bodybuilders and the Muscle Beach crowd. Who knows. Whatever the reason, it’s time to put some of the myths about weight training to rest.
Why Women Need Muscle
Many people who are just starting a fitness program are going to turn to this page, as well as many who are already caught the fitness bug and are “in the lifestyle”.
