It helps you keep doing the things you enjoy — hiking, traveling, playing golf or pickleball, etc. Balance also becomes increasingly important for safety.

A dangerous heart rate is not defined by a single number. It depends on whether the rate is too fast or too slow, whether it is accompanied by symptoms, and whether it represents a change from your normal baseline.

Women face unique heart rate risks tied to hormonal changes, pregnancy, menopause, thyroid disorders, and a higher likelihood of certain arrhythmias. Cardiovascular disease is the…

By Paul and Ann Malkmus It isn’t a silly question. It’s one of the oldest ones there is. What people are usually hoping for is a clean answer in one direction or the other. Either a list — here is what’s permitted, here is what isn’t, follow it and you’ve done right. Or a dismissal — that was all long ago, none of it applies now, eat what you like. Scripture doesn’t hand us either one. It says considerably more about food than most people expect, and it says it far less tidily than either side of the argument would…
