Biz Velatini is a 56-year-old recipe tester in Chicago, Ill. I never really had a weight problem growing up. I was a four-season athlete, which meant that I worked out about three hours a day, all year long.Because I was exercising so much, I didn’t focus on good nutrition. Instead, my breakfast consisted of a Dr. Pepper and Suzy Q snack cake, and then I’d follow that up with some muffins, all before lunch. I didn’t eat healthy because I didn’t have to—I was 150 pounds when I graduated high school, which was a weight I was happy with.My freshman…

Finally, last year, he had had enough. The Upper West Side pianist — who served as lead composer and musical director for Nickelodeon’s “Dora the Explorer” — was struggling to walk and carry equipment to gigs despite decades of physical therapy and chiropractic care. “I was getting very, very restricted in what I could do,” Sandberg, 69, lamented to The Post. “It was hard to get anywhere.” He was…

Americans eat more chicken and less beef than they used to. They drink less milk – especially whole milk – and eat less ice cream, but they consume way more cheese. Their diets include less sugar than in prior decades but a lot more corn-derived sweeteners. And while the average American eats the equivalent of 1.2 gallons of yogurt a year, he or she also consumes 36 pounds of cooking oils – more than three times as much as in the early 1970s. Americans’ eating habits, in short, are all over the place, at least according to our analysis of U.S. Department…

Consider using this information as pure motivation to maintain an active, independent lifestyle and engage in total-body strength exercises. “It’s safe to say that starting to incorporate weight training prior to 30 is optimal, as muscle mass and strength ‘typically’ peak between 30 to 35 years-old. With that said, it is never too late to…
