Gel Fuel Recall

     My brother's sister-in-law was badly burned last weekend.  A gel candle exploded while being refilled.  She caught on fire after being splattered with the gel.  She is currently in a burn unit with 2nd and 3rd degree burns of her lower legs and one arm.  She was fortunate that her torso and head were spared as her clothes were completely burned.  She will be okay but has a long road to recovery ahead. That particular hospital has already treated 7 burn victims as a result of this product.
     The refills have since been recalled.   www.napahomeandgarden.com/GelFuelRecall/
If you know of anyone who uses this or if you use it yourself, please stop and return it, and pass this information on.
     Get well soon, Mary.


     Today was run/walk day 3; treadmill again.  It seems to be going okay, but too soon to judge any results.

     I skimmed the book "Biomarkers, the 10 Determinants of Aging You Can Control" by William Evans, PH.D. and Irwin H. Rosenberg, M.D.  The goal is to increase your biological age to match your chronological age, to increase your health span to match your life span.  The 10 biomarkers of vitality that you can alter are:
          1:  Your Muscle Mass
          2:  Your Strength
          3:  Your Basal Metabolic Rate
          4:  Your Body Fat Percentage
          5:  Your Aerobic Capacity
          6:  Your Body's Blood-Sugar Tolerance
          7:  Your Cholesterol/HDL Ratio
          8:  Your Blood Pressure
          9:  Your Bone Density
         10:  Your Body's Ability to Regulate Its Internal Temperature
The book encourages regular aerobics, flexibility, and strength-building for everyone to accomplish the above and offers basic instructions for doing so.
