I used to have some German juicer that sounded like a jet turbine when it wound up to 10,000 rpm. It was great fun but eventually I grew tired of cleaning the thing and put it away to gather dust. (I don't want to discourage anyone from juicing.)

Lately I'm thinking of doing pistacio nuts. Apparently they're very heart-healthy, according to Consumer Reports.

I never lift anything other than heavy speakers and subwoofers (the EP500 is the maximum; I had to rest for a day after unpacking and packing an EP600. . .).

Jogging is great for keeping weight off and I did it until I was in my early forties. Knee problems arose so I stopped, but my heartbeat at rest was 52 per minute back then.

Now I'm trying to walk 6 miles per week, which is hard to do in the winter. An obese friend of mine (a car and AV journalist in his early forties) is thinking of moving to California so he can walk and excercise more.

Cheers,
Alan
