Here is the last thought from his book.

“And now, at the start of my seventh decade and after more than 13 years of endurance adventures that include successes I never thought possible, I find myself at a crossroads. I have stopped planning, beyond the World Majors. Instead, I will let my body and my desires at the time decide for me. What I know, though, is this: I want to always live a life of challenge and audacity in everything that I do. Eventually, age and presumably illness will take their toll and I will no doubt be forced to cede ground, but I will do so only reluctantly and hopefully with dignity. I will give age its due but not embrace it as an excuse to coast. Anything, or, more realistically, almost anything, is possible. Indeed, even the unlikeliest among us can become an Ironman.”

While preparing a healthy meal does take time & planning, it doesn’t always have to. But what do you do when you DON’T have time to plan out and prepare every meal?

Snacking can help active individuals by providing the energy and nutrients they need during the day. There are many ways to have quick meals ready to go by preparing ahead of time or carrying a nutrient-packed snack with you to enjoy on the go.

New Year Provides Opportunity to Set Healthy Goals for Future

Adults across the country can now access comprehensive preventive care without visiting a doctor’s office. Quest Diagnostics is launching a consumer-initiated virtual preventive care service that will empower individuals to take control of their health by offering many of the tests and biometric screenings that a doctor would typically order as part of an annual physical, as well as a virtual consultation with a healthcare practitioner at no additional charge.

The offering is called the Comprehensive Health Profile and is designed to meet the needs of individuals who want more visibility into their own health information and access to preventive care at their fingertips.

Specifically, the QuestDirect offering includes lab tests, a behavioral risk assessment, weight, blood pressure and other information that will provide individuals a personalized snapshot of their overall health. The Comprehensive Health Profile will also be combined with a Health Risk Assessment to provide a unique Health Quotient Score, which can be tracked over time to gauge progress against one’s goals. This score is unique to each individual and factors in family health history, health and wellness behaviors, biometrics, and lab test results.

This offering offers a new way for individuals to rethink their annual physical. That’s especially important as studies show that many people haven’t visited a doctor during the pandemic or have avoided regular preventive care due to issues of convenience, privacy and trouble accessing healthcare services.

Dr. Jeffrey Dlott, Medical Director, Consumer Health, Quest Diagnostics, will discuss the new virtual preventive care service and how it can help individuals take control of their health with ease and convenience.

IT’S SUMMERTIME
& THE SNACKIN’ IS EASY
How to Indulge & Enjoy Nutritious Foods Between Meals
Especially When Traveling, or Enjoying Outdoor Activities

For most Americans summertime means travel, picnics, camping, hiking and overall fun outdoor activities. Whether you’re hitting the road, the skies or an RV, you may experience longer than usual stretches between meals. So, it’s important to prepare some healthy, nutritious and tasty snacks for your trip.
Exactly what you pack for your summertime snacks is an important consideration for you and your family. It makes sense to stick to a healthy eating routine, to offset any possible weight gain.
Choosing the right foods as snacks can help provide energy, decrease your hunger and keep you from overeating at mealtime. Travel snacks also need to be easily portable for the road or traveling by plane and must meet any restrictions imposed at airports.
That’s why serving size is also an important consideration. It helps to make sure the snacks are easy to carry in a pocket, backpack or in carry-on luggage. Parents also must think about food choices that their kids will actually want to eat. Packaged snacks are a great choice since the serving size is clearly marked on the label.
With so many factors to consider, nutritionist and Registered Dietitian Kristin Kirkpatrick says she has some perfect choices for summertime snacks, including new indulgent treats that allow consumers to satisfy their sweet tooth without all the sugar.
Kristin Kirkpatrick shares her perspective on snacking for the summer, a checklist of what you’ll want to remember and is able to offer a variety of delicious and nutritious ideas for families on the go during this time of year.
