ANOTHER GOOD REASON TO EXERCISE
I talk a lot about health-related stuff on this blog because I think it's something we all in the Moebius/facial difference community have in common.  We all want better health.  I always urge exercise.  I try to do it every day.  But remember, you don't have to be an exercise fiend, you don't have to engage in killer workouts daily.  Hey, just doing a little, every day, will help you.  And look how it can help you, from today's NY Times:
"We all know that physical activity is beneficial in countless ways, but even so, Dr. Mark Tarnopolsky, a professor of pediatrics at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, was startled to discover that exercise kept a strain of mice from becoming gray prematurely.   But shiny fur was the least of its benefits. Indeed, in heartening new research published last week in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, exercise reduced or eliminated almost every detrimental effect of aging in mice that had been genetically programmed to grow old at an accelerated pace."

TIPS FOR A HEALTHIER HOME SPACE
I thought this one was interesting--something we don't always think of:
"Expert: Debra Johnson, Training manager, Merry Maids, "the world's largest home cleaning network"
Everyone's always reaching for the fridge and then touching food, but cleaning the door handle is an afterthought for most people. I wipe handles with a multipurpose product every day as part of my after-dinner cleanup."

"Just as iron rusts from disuse, even so does inaction spoil
the intellect." -Leonardo Da Vinci
