A vacationer hearing about rain in the forecast might alter his plans and a traveler hearing about a planecrash might even take the bus. But will a person who hears they are at risk for heart disease change his orher lifestyle? Surprisingly, no.

A 2016 report in the British Medical Journal analyzed 18 studies and found that even when people wereshown genetic tests indicating increased risk factors for heart disease, they weren't likely to change theirdiet, exercise more, or quit smoking. This finding flies in the face of simple logic saying that a personwould want to act in a way that keeps them alive longer.

Genetic testing, according to The National Institute of Health, has become much more popular andaffordable lately with companies like 23andMe and Sure Genomics offering personal testing for anywherefrom $100 to $2,000. These tests can uncover inherited disorders and genetic risk factors that wouldleave a person predisposed to developing a heart problem. Researchers speculated that testing might leadto informed patients taking prevention into their own hands, but it seems this theory was not correct.

On one hopeful note, knowing their genetic predisposition to disease didn't inspire healthy behavior, butit also didn't inspire new risky behaviors either. Testing didn't make people more or less depressed oranxious.

Experts at the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force concluded that knowledge of risk factors coupled withbehavioral counseling seems to help people take action. A program that has multiple sessions withpatients over several months can help with setting goals to lose the weight and get healthy.

Eighty-five years ago in October, Babe Ruth pointed to center field and called his shot…Maybe. It was, after all, decades before today when every fan has a cell phone and takes videos ofeverything from fainting goats to drying paint.

For The Called Shot, all we have are recollections and quotes. Neither are conclusive althoughrecollections have it this way:

Oct 1, 1932: In the fifth inning of game three of the World Series, with a count of two balls andtwo strikes, Babe Ruth pointed to the center field bleachers in Chicago’s Wrigley Field and thensmashed a home run high above the very spot to which he had just gestured. The Yankees wenton to sweep the Series with four straight victories.

Now the pitcher, Charlie Root, took exception to the story and said if Ruth had the nerve tomake such a gesture, Root would have made sure the Babe "ended up on his (behind)."

Nearly 10 years later on the set of a movie, Root and Ruth talked about the Called Shot. Ruthsaid he didn't call it, but it made a great story. On the other hand, Ruth's descendants are firmlyin the Called Shot camp.

In 2013, Chicago sportswriter Ed Sherman interviewed Ruth's 96-year-old adopted daughter,Julia Ruth Stevens, who said both her mother and Cardinal Spellman claimed to have seen theCalled Shot. Even two 16-mm films, one discovered in the 1970s and another in 1999, don'tconclusively tell the story. But some say the 1999 film shows Ruth talking smack and pointing

at the Cubs dugout, not center field.

How Our First Government Began

The first national government of the United States came intoexistence when the 13th state, Maryland, ratified theArticles of Confederation in early 1781. All 13 states had toagree to the terms of the Articles and it took over threeyears to achieve that agreement. During the political struggleover acceptance of the Articles it became apparent that therewere two general opinions that seemed to dominate Americanthought about creating a government.While still at war with Britain, political Americans were dividedbetween those seeking a powerful, centralized nationalgovernment (the "Federalists"), and those seeking a looselystructured one (the "Anti-Federalists"). Thus at the verybeginning of our national political history Americans were splitinto two groups. The split was essentially about how free menshould deal with centralized power.That generation of Americans were very conscious of astartling fact: they could indeed create a new government and,in fact, had already done so. The last sentence in theDeclaration of Independence said it all: “That these Unitedare, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States;they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown,that all political connection between them and the State ofGreat Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved……”The fundamental political dilemma for free people is theproblem of Power: How are we to govern ourselves fairly whileavoiding Tyranny on one hand and Anarchy on the other. Toomuch power in the center threatens to become Tyranny; toolittle might lead to Anarchy.For Federalists, Anarchy was the great enemy whichthreatened their freedom and property, and must be resistedby the new government. The Anti-Federalists greatly fearedTyranny, too much Power in the Center, it was felt would be adeathblow to Liberty.In the states’ struggles over the adoption of the Articles theAnti-Federalists won. The new central government of theUnited States was weak and rather cumbersome. Tyrannybe avoided but things did not work out very well for theGovernment of the Confederation. Federalists thoughtsomething must be done. They planned their own new politicalrevolution and with it a new Constitution.

“Haunted Old West”

The number one reason personsover the age of 65 experienceinjuries is falling and falls can beespecially disruptive for those wholive alone or in senior communities.

There are many reasons for senior falls.One of biggest reasons is poor balance.Causes of poor balance could be innerear disorders, viral inflammation aroundthe labyrinthine nerve, other nervedisorders, vision problems, diabetes,medications and muscle loss. The lossof muscle mass is also a very commonproblem for older adults. Studies haveshown that older adults who do notexercise, or are very inactive, tend tolose 3 – 5 oz. of muscle mass per year.Regular exercise is one of the mostimportant tools for seniors seeking toavoid injurious falls. Studies have shownthat exercising can increase musclestrength and mass, thus improvingbalance.

The best way for senior communities tohelp their residents prevent falls is tohave a great exercise program. The Live2 B Healthy® program is proven to helpseniors improve both balance andoverall strength. Live 2 B Healthy®
