View Article  Lars Recommends: DelawareSkaters.com
Today I get to recommend my own site! I'd like to officially announce the Delaware Skate Club.   If you have any interest in socially networking with other inline skaters in Delaware; please visit DelawareSkaters.com where the site redirects to our club location using the social networking site MeetUp.com

As founder of the Delaware Skate Club, my interest is in helping expose the recreation of inline skates to people that are fearful of learning or would like to skate with a group and have no one to skate with. 

We will skate through Delaware locations at Bear Park and city skates through Newark, Wilmington and other locations where we skate to a destination as a group, enjoy some social time and then back to our starting point.   Each skate can last from 40 minutes to 3 hours.

Another activity will be field trips or road trips to skate with other groups such as the Philly and New York skate groups.

We are already getting some support from the local community from Troop 2, the YMCA and various other businesses which have helped with FREE signs to post throughout the area.  I hope you'll show up and skate with us.

View Article  Why I'll Drink Snapple Now

The quiet grass roots movement of anti-High Fructose Corn Syrup seems to accomplished a lot in the U.S. with manufacturers.

Snapple is the first to finally get off the empty calorie train.  Snapple is going with the 'honest' tea approach using 'cane' sugar instead of HFCS.   Thank you!

In this case the calories of Snapple have even gone down.  Total with HFCS = 200.  Total with cane sugar = 160.  It's still empty calories.  It's not going to save the world but it's a small step in the direction of healthier drinks.  In our house we drink water, tea, milk OJ and that's about it.  We try and go for concord grape juice and other juices but they usually depend on HFCS, so we end up not buying them at all.

So at least now when I'm on the go and I want to spend a buck on a drink, I may be able to go with Snapple Tea.  We'll see.

View Article  My Own Theory On The Common Cold

No one would have ever believed me.  You most likely won't believe me now.  That's OK.  I've often thought of this and I think I knew the secret to the common cold all my life.  

Here is the theory.  Do ever remember the kid standing at the bus stop shivering in the cold fall morning because he didn't want to carry a coat around at school?   That was me.  Well, that odd behavior resulted in a theory of mine over the years. 

The body slowly builds up a tolerance to the cold.  Here my theory went nowhere.  I mean, why?  There are no viruses floating around in the cold air.  They can't survive.  Now remember how your mother would scold you, "Don't forget to wear a coat, you'll catch a death of cold!"  How do the two go together?  If a virus can't survive the cold, but you catch a cold in the cold... what is the link?  

The answer is you would both be right. You mother was right you'll catch a cold in the cold, and you are right the virus doesn't come from the cold.  Now for the answer.  Scientist have a new theory as the answer to the common cold.   It's one I agree with as I've lived by it for years. 

Here are the two theories and you'll see they converge.  Mine has been that you slowly build up an immunity to the cold airs affects on your body.  Note that I didn't say cold air, I said it's effects.  Cold air can freeze you that is obvious.  What happens is your body already harbors the common cold, a virus that you never really get over.  Your bodies own antivirus antibodies contain the virus.   But when you go out in the cold for the first ...   more »

Healthy goes far beyond reading the label

I eat smart. And while I do have a sweet tooth I make up for it by exercising anytime I eat foods high in calories.   I do make sure to never overdue it and I have some rules for myself.  The opinions in my article are my opinions and while I use facts to stand on, I'm not insisting I know all about the subject or that I am an authority.  I'm just a guy taking care of himself with less than 2 percent body fat.  

YOU must be acutely aware of the size ongoing.  If it takes reinvesting in smaller dinner plates, do it.  Here is one straight from my home, we have a creed, "We are Hindsley's not heathens."  We don't eat out of the bag or box.  This serves two purposes in my home.  It indoctrinates a level of class with my children and it starts them on portion control.  How many times have you eaten your way through a whole bag of chips or some other snack?  What woman doesn't eat straight out of the ice-cream bucket?  Oh!

Do not let someone serve you large portions, your human nature will overdrive your common sense.  You will eat more.  As an aside, eating slower will also give you a feeling of fullness faster. No one will listen to me on this, but in my day I've learned it to be true.
