Looking To De-Stress? Take A Walk.
We know that stress can harm us, but we may not fully understand how. Kate Boston, a registered dietician/nutritionist and owner of Cultivate Your Plate, says that when we first experience stress, our bodies are flooded with adrenaline. But when our stress remains high, the stress hormone cortisol takes over. “When our stress is elevated, [cortisol] causes our bodies to pull more glucose into our bloodstream for energy. Your body can only do so much with that glucose. Over time, chronic elevated cortisol levels can cause insulin resistance and diabetes,” she says. Cortisol makes our bodies want immediate energy, which is why we often crave carbohydrates and sugar when we’re feeling overwhelmed with stress.

How One Man Got His Fitness Back in His 50s
We talked to Chuck Bent, age 69, about how he got started on his fitness journey in his 50s — and we all can learn from his approach and attitude. I had been fit and active until my early 30s when I changed careers from one that was physically demanding to one where I was sedentary, traveled every week, and lived on an expense account. I gained about 40 lbs that first year and I couldn’t stop the gain. As I grew into that lifestyle, and accepted my larger size, I added another 40 lbs, and then a bunch more. The salesmen at Men’s Warehouse were happy to continue to supply me with larger and larger pants and jackets. One day – as I tried on a new jacket – the salesman told me that my jacket size was now an “Executive Cut.” It sounded nice, but basically that meant that there was lots of extra material around the waist.

I wrote a performance about caregiving, then wrote a book, and then created my first training website. It began to feel like I was slowly crossing a river from theater to health care, putting down another stepping stone as I needed to move forward.”
