The Toll of Exercise on the Heart (and Why You May Not Need to Worry)

Endurance athletes do have plaques in their arteries, but they differ somewhat from the kinds found in less active people’s hearts.

"But for now, he says, the available data, including these new studies, suggest that prolonged, intense endurance exercise may alter your arteries, but does not seem likely to harm them.
If, however, you are concerned about your cardiac health, obviously consult a doctor, he says, and do not hesitate to err on the side of caution. “If you want to run a marathon, fine, run a marathon,” he says. “But if your goal from exercise is simply to be healthy, a half-hour of jogging will do.”"

Why Couldn’t This Man Stop Hiccupping?

It started as a normal bout, but no remedy cured them. What was causing these relentless spasms?

Do what works.

Get a diagnosis.

Sooner is better.    As soon as you can is best.

Colbert Says G.O.P.’s ‘Nothing Burger’ Is a ‘Quarter Pounder With Sleaze’

Late-night hosts resorted to different comparisons to explain how much they were irked by President Trump’s undisclosed meeting with Vladimir Putin.

People cannot make Trump wise.
Peoples Pain will make him and his supporters silent.
I am one of those people who will hurt.
I am not a masochist.

If Dr. Trump Were Your Surgeon ...

Imagine Republican leaders were in charge of your medical care.

Codependent No More ... Yet Wanting Back In

Also, boycotting a former boss’s baby shower, requesting a family visit, and wondering whether sexual fantasies are cheating.

I can not have ethanol in the house.

I can go to meetings.

I have no real experience.

Make Your Best Salad

You don’t need a recipe for a satisfying and substantial big salad. The trick is to start with sturdy greens and work from there.

I can do that.

It’ll Never Get Off the Ground

Randolph Ross tips his hat to a famous comedy routine.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassowary

"I have understood that Bishop Samuel Wilberforce composed this quatrain, being challenged to find a rhyme to the word Timbuctoo. It is as follows:—
If I were a Cassowary
On the plains of Timbuctoo,
I would eat a missionary,
Coat and bands, and hymn-book too.
A. J. M.

What Should Parents Make of the ‘Summer Bucket List 2017’?

If you can welcome it as a gift from the internet, it might offer up a valuable conversation with the most mature side of your teenager.

"Children need to make their own mistakes.
We certainly did."

I remember my contemporaries doing transitions of one kind or another.  I was not there and did not want to be there.
I was happy not to find them.

Trump Is His Own Worst Enemy

There is a profound but predictable obstacle blocking Trump’s legislative agenda: His own incompetence.

Growing a Baby After a Tumor

To me, this growth, this mass, was indistinguishable from the last one. Was it trying to kill me?

You are enough.
