About this blog: I developed a special interest in helping seniors with their challenges and transitions when my dad had a stroke and I helped him through all the various stages of downsizing, packing, moving and finding an assisted living community. I live in Palo Alto with my wife and we have three grown children, one still in college. I have been in the Bay Area since 1977 (except for seven years in Newton MA — just missed all that snow too much.) I've worked in sales and marketing in retirement communities for seven years, and have hired and managed home care workers for family members, and have a pretty good idea of how aging in place, or shopping for and selecting the right retirement community works. I now run my own business, Palo Alto Senior Living, providing real estate and senior transition services. This blog is designed to share my experiences, insight and knowledge with seniors and their baby boomer kids and provide useful information to help develop a roadmap for smooth transitions or aging in place. I welcome readers to share their experiences, both good and not-so-good, in the hope that we all can benefit from each other.

Eating v. Exercise: Food Always Wins
Uploaded: Feb 25, 2015

I like this chart from Dave Smith's "Make Your Body Work" blog.
There is also a crazy video on it that proves you can't exercise yourself away from the effects of a poor diet. They should post the chart at the entrance of every gym and zumba studio (I guess that wouldn't be too good for business.) This is in no way an indictment against exercising. I love exercising. I promote it as often as I can. Just a message that food-comes-first when making changes to your health, body, life. (Note: I know there is some after-exercise burning of calories that should be factored into the total number of calories you burn after various kinds of exercise, but they don't radically change the equation.)
