Older women who rarely miss a workout are 3 times as likely to have an active spouse as those who exercised less consistently. -Source, Prevention.com

Bottom line is “we” keep each other on track and feeling fine.

I have proof of this, fortunately or unfortunately. This week my husband has been out of town and somehow – gee whiz – I just haven’t made it to the gym. Not a once. It has been a lot easier to eat “whatever” vs. something “good” for me.

All this time I kind of thought I was the one helping him get healthy. Now I know how much loving and encouraging him helps me stay on track. Should I admit this to him? You bet. We’ll have a lot of time to catch up on that ride back from the airport …

A study from the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom found that digging in the dirt may boost your mood and help you cope with stress.

My mother has been showing and telling me this for years. I just thought she wanted cheap labor though I admit that the older I get the more I enjoy hanging and hauling and hoeing …

So — the moral to this story is get out there and give your mom a hand or just potter & putter around on your own like we did when we were kids and mud pies were so much fun!

UCLA STUDY ON FRIENDSHIP AMONG WOMEN
By Gale Berkowitz

A landmark UCLA study suggests friendships between women are special. They shape who we are and who we are yet to be. They soothe our tumultuous inner world, fill the emotional gaps in our marriage, and help us remember who we really are. By the way, they may do even more. Scientists now suspect that hanging out with our friends can actually counteract the kind of stomach-quivering stress most of us experience on a daily basis. A landmark UCLA study suggests that women respond to stress with a cascade of brain chemicals that cause us to make and maintain friendships with other women. It’s a stunning find that has turned five decades of stress research—most of it on men—upside down.

You gotta read this … all of this. Here is just one interesting tidbit. – Viveca

Lack of Sleep Disrupts Quality of Life

The Sleep in America poll also finds that a lack of a good night’s sleep is interfering with a woman’s quality of life. Women report that they often choose to put healthy activities last on their priority list as they struggle through their daily lives. When pressed for time, one-half of the women polled responded that sleep (52%) and exercise (48%) are the first things they sacrifice. Additionally, more than one-third of women say they also reduce the amount of time they spend with friends and family (39%), stop eating healthy (37%) and don’t participate in sexual activity with their partner (33%) when they run out of time or are too sleepy in a day. Interestingly, work is the last thing that women say they sacrifice when pressed for time; only 20% of women responded that they would opt to put work on the back burner when they run out of time or are too sleepy.
