Last week’s article, “Fountain of Youth” was about how exercise and a healthy diet enhance life and increase longevity. Exercise though has only existed for the blink of an eye in our grand evolutionary experiment. Exercise to increase strength, speed, and endurance began about 2600 years ago in Greece. Soldiers would lift heavy rocks, run […]

We discovered a new latin phrase recently;“Solvitur Ambulando” and immediately fell in love. Translation: It is Solved by Walking or It is Solved by Walking Around. I’ve seen it credited to both Diogenes and Saint Augustine, but who said it is not as interesting as how well it fits with the 3mph lifestyle. Whatever the

We’ve been juicing for a dozen years, and love the antioxidant buzz we get from downing a big glass of fresh-blended roots, fruits, and veggies. Numerous studies have proven that the consumption of vegetables and fruits is correlated to a lower incidence of chronic disease. Drinking vegetable and fruit juice is an efficient way to

I just finished climbing the Empire State Building in an hour. The wind’s up today, and it’s cold too, so going for a walk is a bit sketchy. Yeah, I could bundle up in multiple layers and brave the conditions but I decided not to. I decided to climb the Empire State Building instead. It wasn’t

The pharmaceutical industry has propagated one of the greatest lies in the history of medicine. The belief that tweaking a symptom this way or that, by shutting off a signaling molecule, enzyme or hormone actually fixes the problem. Sadly, the underlying issue is often exacerbated by these pharmaceuticals. The medical industry has followed along, prescribing

Fitness and diet have become two of the most important things in our lives, in the last half decade. Before that, we didn’t give them the correct weighting in our daily life. When we were young we wielded them like weapons, to achieve one goal or another and then we would resheath them until we
One of our favorite quotes at 3mph, is “Let food be thy medicine, and let medicine be thy food.” We’ve always attributed the quote to Hippocrates, the 1st doctor. Research however, suggests that Hippocrates never uttered those words. It doesn’t really matter who said it first, we love the concept and strive to make it

I’ve been testing ChatGPT recently, attempting to determine how well it’s calibrated and if it actually worms around the web collecting truth or whether it’s just another propaganda device, like the media; created to confuse humanity even more than we already are. Is that possible? I suppose by collecting truth, I actually mean does it
Frontal lobes seperate Homo sapiens from all other life forms here in the Great Wide World. The prefrontal cortex is the most recent addition to the human brain. It’s the organ that enabled abstract thinking and the rapid evolution of a species; then came civilization, art and science. The prefrontal cortex has evolved to be disproportionally
Vickie and I spend a fair bit of time daily, walking and talking. Usually between 3 to 5 miles, sometimes further, as we search for that “just right” distance. If one of us doesn’t quite have the gumption, we cheer and coax each other on. I think that’s what God had in mind when he

The first Olympic Games were held about 2800 years ago. Heracles, son of the Greek God Zeus, established the original games, at least according to legend. The games were held high on Mount Olympus, where all the Greek Gods had their summer homes. There was but a single event in that first Olympics, a simple
Making bone broth is one of those things that folks pretty much gave up a half dozen decades ago. At least I don’t know many people that spend their time and energy over a big stock pot, filled with dead animal bones – I do though. Not very often but sometimes when we cook a
