Health living advocate Elizabeth Irving was featured in the "Faves” section of Sunday’s Houston Chronicle, telling what she loves and why, and mentions that she will be the guest host of a Lunch & Learn called "Three Simple Steps to Create Peace Every Day,” offered at The Houstonian this Friday!

It’s never
too late to start working on your health and wellness. Just ask 69-year-old
member Richard "Dick” Kuringer. According to
his personal trainer Tim Lamando,
Dick approached him about three years ago, sedentary and lethargic at 250
pounds. He had type 2 diabetes and a 50-inch waist. He was reluctant to begin a
fitness regimen at his age, but after some urging from his grandchildren that
they wanted him to "be around” and not "round,” Tim began to work with him.
Many of you
may remember former Houston Astros player Lance Berkman, who played this year
for the St. Louis Cardinals, who eventually won the World Series! With everyone
Lance could recognize to help him reach this great accomplishment, he gave a
shout-out on KILT-AM (610) yesterday to Personal Trainer Ben Fairchild, crediting Ben for his
conditioning that helped him get through the season. Lance’s quote: ‘Way to go
Ben.’
And to quote
Lance Berkman, way to go, Ben! You’re a Houstonian MVP!

gives just a snippet of info about it…take a look!
Want
to burn a few more calories? Let those spicy peppers do the work, as they have

national women’s magazine, Heart & Soul, which has a circulation of
more than 300,000.
