Nutrition and Weight Loss Ideas

Before we get into today’s article, I just wanted to let you know that I will be away for the next week, and won’t be able to get the usual article out next Thursday. I will be back the following week, though.

I’ll bet you’re wondering about the title for today’s article, right? What does our health have to do with dogs?

Good question.

I ran across an article the other day about just that — dog’s health and our health. It was interesting to me because it had to with old dogs and the old adage, “You Can’t Teach an Old Dog New Tricks!”

Well, it turns out that maybe you can!

You might be able to not only teach an old dog new tricks, but you just might be able to do the same for the dog’s old master.

Some researchers (I’ve lost the information on where these researchers were located — sorry!) that were studying the effects of aging among elderly humans discovered that older beagles “kept a gleam in their eye and a spring in their step” when they were fed a healthy diet that included plenty of vitamins and were kept in a happy environment. The “happy environment” meant lots of toys, playmates, and also, plenty of exercise.

It turns out that dogs are good models for the study of human aging because they have similar brain structures and, like people, they can develop memory and learning problems as they grow old.

In a two-year study of 48 beagles ages 7 to 11, some of the dogs received standard care, while others got an enriched diet or lifestyle, or both. All the pampered dogs showed improvement in mental acuity compared with the control group. But the beagles that got it all -— exercise, stimulation, and an enriched diet -— outperformed the other dogs in increasingly difficult tests.

So what’s the lesson here?

I guess it’s to get with the program — it’s better late than never! Don’t let yourself “go to the dogs”, rather go WITH the dogs. If the dogs can do it, why can’t you? Start eating a good healthy diet with plenty of nutrition, stay away from all the foods that add fat to your body, get plenty of exercise, and stay active.

I don’t know about the “playmates” part that the dogs enjoyed — I’ll leave that part of this up to you.

Try it! You might like it!
