World's oldest man

Walter Breuning, the fourth-oldest living person on earth and the world's oldest living male, turned 114 years old on September 21. Born in 1896, Walter has lived in three separate centuries.
His advice? Watch your diet - if you are overweight, get the weight off. Keep your brain and your body busy - exercise them both every day. And finally - be kind to everyone, the more people you help, the more you help yourself.

Great advice Walter, and Happy Birthday!

2017 Year of the Rooster Predictions -a Taoist Perspective 
by my teacher Master Zhongxian Wu

 This Spring Ushers in DingYou 丁酉 - Fire Rooster
From a cosmological perspective, the DingYou year will be an uneasy and challenging year on many levels, with much of the world experiencing unseasonal climate conditions. Given the stormy global political landscape lately, I am sure that this news comes as no big surprise.  The current state of affairs has helped me broaden my understanding of the Daoist concept of Tian Ren He Yi (天人合一) , the union of human beings and Nature. Perhaps the ways of humans and nature are mirrors of each other more than we care to believe?

Easy Way to Lower Blood Pressure

At the start of the study, the participants drank (on average) one 12-oz sugar-sweetened serving each day. The researchers asked the participants to simply cut their consumption. Those who were able to knock out the sugar drink totally reduced their systolic pressure by 1.8 and the diastolic by 1.1. That may not seem like much, but even a small decrease in blood pressure can significantly reduce your risk of vascular events. And over the years, the drop would be even more significant. Sugar increases insulin. Insulin will raise your blood pressure. Sugar might also make your blood thicker. Increased viscosity is a major heart disease risk. It leads to a need for higher...
