The other day I happened to glimpse up and see this news flash on TV: Taking an aspirin a day may not be good for your health.
Ok, really??? It seems like it was not so long ago all the doctors were telling people to take a baby aspirin every day to prevent heart attack and stroke. Now they are saying only if you have a family history and if you do take an aspirin a day you can develop bleeding in your stomach.
These are just a few other things I am confused about:
1. Carbs or no carbs
2. Yolk or no yolk
3. Real butter or margarine
4. 6 meals a day or 3 meals a day
5. Hormone replacement or no hormone replacement
6. Running or no running
7. Real sugar, stevia, honey or nothing
8. Organic or not
9. Dairy or no dairy
10.Red wine or white wine - cause it is going to be one or the other.
So, what am I going to do? Live life in moderation. So far my parents have lived to the ripe ages of 95 and 89 and are still kicking it! They have tried to take very little medication, have eaten when they felt like it but at least 3 times a day, have exercised on a regular but not rigid basis and have laughed and loved a lot.
For now, that's my plan.......no matter what the news throws at me.
