My queen has been sick, the whole house has dealt with some sickness and I’ve heard people all over struggling to get over this one. I postulate that a cold, like flu, is a human’s natural reaction to a cold temperature. We had a day swing down 50 degrees in one day last week, that’s going to slow people down and kick the body into antibody production. All that extra exhaustion has me a little on the back foot. Usually I record my show on Sunday night and had to wait a day to get some rest. The recording seemed to go well, but 30 minutes of talking has my throat feeling a little rough. In more glorious news I finally got my gold gym equipment together. Thankfully I’m able to overhead press the new weights. I was worried they would actually weigh more than my old plates and after having put together this special gym that I wouldn’t be able to use it. On exercise and health, two ideas I think are important are lymph nodes and piezoelectric bones. The lymph system is to dispose waste in the body and runs along the circulatory system (blood). Unlike blood that is pumped by the hearth, lymph nodes are one way gates that use surrounding muscles to push forward. By lifting heavy weight uses more muscles to squeeze waste on it’s way. Piezoelectric effect is an electrical current created by stress on bones. The most abundant metal in the body is calcium, found in bones. During stress those little metal bits move past each other to create electricity. More stress on the bones, then more electricity created. It’s my belief these two ideas keep the body running smoothly.
