“Every day you learn something new.”
That is the absolute truth.
Today I learned that 15 minutes of exercise a day can add 3 years to your life … I would like to know if it doubles if I do 30 minutes? And will all that exercise lead to immortality?
I also found out that, “every single hour of TV watched after the age of 25 shortened the viewer’s life expectancy by just under 22 minutes”.
I watch 5 hours of Reality TV-junk a week… and I’m 33.
According to the Math I just did in my head, I’ve lost a month of my life to TV?!?
Can I gain back that month, and the many more to come, if I exercise 15 minutes a day, every day? Thanks in advance, genius study/research people.
MSNBC just informed of another study; 60,000 pounds of ground beef was recalled due to E.Coli.
That’s just one more reason to have dessert first.
Have a brownie, please!
ENJOY! And don’t watch the news. 🙂

I totally agree…dessert first. I might just eat the whole pan of these brownies!
OH NO! Those are not the statistics I want to hear! But, I’m with you, if we are losing minutes by watching our favorite t.v.shows, might as well pile on the desserts and enjoy our time while we are here! And these brownies look like a great way to indulge.
