TIPS
Become knowledgeable
about and committed to eating
the right foods. We see so much
obesity; its a problem in so
many ways.
Keep your brain busy,
especially if youre older. You
want to be interested, involved
and stimulated.
Its stupid to smoke. If you do
it, quit.
Agree to someday be an organ
donor by signing an advanced
directive and make sure your
family is aware of it. (Signing
the back of your drivers license
doesnt necessarily get it done).

PRODUCT TEST
WATERPROOF BANDAGES
Whether youre hitting the beach or pool, washing your car or working
in your garden, nows the time for bandages to do some heavy lifting.
We tested the waterproof variety, all of which claimed to stay on until
you want them off and to seal out dirt and contaminants. We gave
all products two tests: a sweaty lawn-mowing session as well as an
afternoon spent wade fishing. Heres how they fared.

Calibrate often
If you purchase an at-home
monitor, take it to your doctor
to check its accuracy.
We compare what theyre
getting to what were getting,
Heine said. The readings are
surprisingly close.
Testing recommendations
Heine recommends
monitors for people being
treated for hypertension to
make sure their therapy or
medication is keeping their
blood pressure under control.
But he urges caution.
Some people literally get
addicted to taking their blood
pressure, Heine said. They
take it all the time and then
call the doctor the minute its
a little bit high. Blood pressure
by itself is not going to make
you have a stroke the hour your
pressure is up.
Some experts recommend
daily testing, but Heine said
that may be too frequent for
some people. He recommends
two to three times a week at
variable times.
And it never hurts to stick
your arm in the cuff next
time you see a machine at the
pharmacy, Heine said.
People go in there for
medication or something, and
while theyre waiting they
stick their arm in there and see
their blood pressure is a little
higher than it should be, so
they come in to be checked,
Heine said. Of course thats a
good thing.

When you

life. The result was a woman
who learned how to let some
things go, resolved lingering

Houston and talked to Chronicle

MARIE ROCKWOOD
HOW SHE DID IT
Marie Rockwood was a
mother and grandmother
who felt old and looked
frumpy. She suffers from
Crohns disease and
treatments had caused
her to gain weight. As
a Christian she felt she
needed to treat her body as a
temple so she decided to clean
up her diet and hire a personal
trainer. She eliminated
processed diet as well as
sweets and sodas. She focuses
on lean meats, fruits and
vegetables. In a year she
lost 22 pounds and many
inches.
The Katy woman started her
exercise regimen using weight
machines with very low
weights. Cardio was difficult
because she hadnt exercised
since she was in high school.
Her trainer coached her into
heavier weights and longer
cardio workouts, telling her
she could accomplish anything
she set her mind to.
She maintains her fitness
level with three hour-and20-minute workouts, each
a combination of strength
training and cardio.
She just turned 50 and is
enjoying life: I cant believe
what size I am now. You wont
catch me in a bikini, but I can
wear a sundress.
