“People who drink a little don’t die sooner than people who never drank, study shows.

The findings suggest that the average man can drink up to about three drinks a day and expect to live as long as nondrinkers. Women might want to stop at about two drinks, the research suggested.”

Rupert Murdoch marries again

No Comments 26 March 2023

Rupert Murdoch has made it into my blog because he is one of the strongest believers in the institution of marriage that I know (See my previous entry on Murdoch marriage adventures. Not long after his divorce from Mick Jagger’s old flame Jerry Hall, he got himself a new wife at age 92. Here are the details which he shared with one of the newspapers he owns and then a report from the NY Times.

Rupert Murdoch engaged to Ann Lesley Smith

Rupert Murdoch. Professionally, the parent of Earth’s media. Personally, the creator of new news himself. Celebrating March, his Nativity month, a new scoop is Mr. Murdoch’s getting married — again.

But first, before anything, we discuss the important stuff. Like his bride-to-be’s Asscher-cut diamond solitaire which the almost groom personally selected. He says: “I’m one-fourth Irish.” He presented the ring to her on St. Pat’s Day in our very own NYC.

He says: “I was very nervous. I dreaded falling in love — but I knew this would be my last. It better be. I’m happy.”

Do also strength training

No Comments 30 January 2023

Washington Post reports:

“We found that just 1-3 hours per week of moderate exercise — brisk walking and/or vigorous aerobic exercise such as [high intensity interval training] training — and just 1-2 times per week of strength exercise substantially reduced the risk of death by all-causes,” McDonough says.

Given that walking to the bus or store counts, most people should be able to get in 60 minutes a week of aerobic exercise, McDonough says. And the two sessions of strength training doesn’t have to be at the gym, he adds. They can be with any form of resistance, such as gravity, hand weights, resistance bands, or even water bottles or cans from the cupboard, or hefting grocery bags.

So cardio or weights or both? If you’re looking to live longer, doing both is your best bet, experts say.
