BOOK OF THE WEEK
The Body Book
By Cameron Diaz
This book came out in 2014, but I think what it says is still very valid and I believe it could inspire you to try to live a healthier, happier and longer life.
Grounded in science and informed by real life, The Body Bookoffers a comprehensive overview of the human body and mind, from the cellular level up. From demystifying and debunking the hype around food groups to explaining the value of vitamins and minerals, readers will discover why it’s so important to embrace the instinct of hunger and to satisfy it with whole, nutrient-dense foods. Cameron also explains the essential role of movement, the importance of muscle and bone strength and why we need to sweat a little every day. (Source: GoodReads)
MOVIE OF THE WEEK
I just watched this movie again while on the treadmill and I still enjoy watching it every so often. A few years ago, I watched part of it in an auditorium inside the actual Grand Hotel on Mackinaw Island, where this movie was filmed.
Somewhere In Time
Warning
The following clip is 15 minutes long, so please don’t bother watching unless you are really into this film. Also, there may be two very short commercial interruptions. Since I have mentioned this film several times over the years, rather than simply show you the trailer again, I wanted to do something a bit different. If you like this film, I think you will find this clip rewarding.

CHARACTER TRAITS
SOCIAL TRAITS
Government Spending
It seems our political leaders are very generous, giving out money to many in the USA and to world. Where does this money come from? I have heard there were two ultimate sources: taxes (e.g., income, sales, etc.) and simply printing money which results in inflation, which is said to be a tax on the poor and those on a fixed income or living off their savings.
LEARNING TRAITS
Science
At one time, people believed that the heavens revolved around the earth. They believed the world was flat. Bleeding was an acceptable medical procedure. I could go on and on, but I think you will either get the point I am trying to make or you will not.

Somewhere in Time is a wonderful little film. I love the soundtrack, too.

Yes, it is a wonderful film. I came across that clip about ten things one doesn’t know about the film. I knew some of them already, but not all of them.

I am interested to know what Cameron Diaz has to say about calcium. Did you personally read the book?

What kind of person would suggest a book if they have not read it. To be honest, I don’t recall what she had to say about calcium, but I took a quick glance at the book and she mentions what she referred to as “surprising sources of calcium” and that it was a bone builder along with several other nutrients and various activities. All pretty much common knowledge for athletes and those with a strong interest in their own health. Just for the record, I have never suggested a book or a movie I have not read or seen. I’ve done a lot of things in 3/4 of a century and I am still doing a lot of things.

Oh, my apology. I didn’t mean it that way. I happen to read books that were recommended by friends who did not read them but find the same well worth the read. No kidding. Anyway, the only reason I asked that because I have read and watched stuff that are science-based but run counter to the myth of calcium. Sorry again for that first comment.

No problem Marisselle. I’m probably over sensitive. As for health, there are so many different views on everything related to health. I suspect that may be due to people being so different from one another and what works for one does nothing for another person. I’m guessing when it comes to health, one size does not fit all. Plus, add in the “pseudo effect” and you have things that are impossible to work, actually work. That tends to make me think one’s thoughts plays a key role in health. Thank you very much for commenting.

People tend to misunderstood my statement when I do not explain myself properly. Cameron Diaz is one of the very few Hollywood celebrities who embraced aging gracefully. She has a sensible head, too. I admire her for that. However, I am not a “health nut” and I eat whatever I like, most of which not healthy. Books of this genre do not interest me (because I am not a health nut, lol) and I asked so I do not need to read it. Lol! And yes, you are quite right that our own thoughts and convictions play a key role in everything we say or do. That is called diversity and that is what makes life not boring. Stay well and safe 🙏
