 2. Did you know?
 
 According to the New England Journal of Medicine brisk walking 
 can be as good as regular trips to the gym for postmenopausal women. 
 Studies completed indicated a 30% less risk of heart-related problems 
 if 2  hours of vigorous exercise was performed weekly.

 3. Tip of the Week
 
 Let's give neck pain a hand
 
 Annals of Internal Medicine recently published studies indicating for 
 neck pain, a "hands on" approach proves more effective. People 
 experiencing neck pain for 2+ weeks were grouped into one of three 
 categories:
 
 1. Group 1 was prescribed medication and rest
 2. Group 2 got physical therapy
 3. Group 3 received chiropractic adjustments
 
 Results: 68% in group 3 reported full recovery or significant improvement
 compared to 50.8% in group 2, and 35.9% in group 1.

 4. Our online "Question-of-the-Month"! Are you eating in or out?
 (Question submitted by Sigmund Miller, DC)
 
 I just turned 50, so maybe asking this survey question is a sign of my age.
 When growing up, I can remember the quickest way to get "grounded" 
 was not to be home on-time for dinner. 
 
 One of my 16 year-old triplets came home from school the other day 
 after watching a movie showing a family, from the 1950's, sitting down 
 at the table having dinner. 
 
 He said to me that evening, "Dad, we look like a family from the 50's!" 
 He meant no disrespect, but was just making an observation since we 
 always are sitting down as a family to have dinner. The next day 
 following classroom discussion, he said more than 90% of students 
 indicated their families rarely having dinner together. For them it was 
 mostly eat on-the-run or in front of the TV.
 
 So here is the question: 
 
 During a typical week, how often do you and your family gather 
 at the table to have dinner?

 The Cab Ride (Make sure you have a tissue handy)
 
 Twenty years ago, I drove a cab for a living.
 
 When I arrived at 2:30 a.m., the building was dark
 except for a single light in a ground floor window. Under 
 these circumstances, many drivers would just honk once or twice, 
 wait a minute, then drive away.
 
 But, I had seen too many impoverished people who depended 
 on taxis as their only means of transportation. Unless a situation 
 smelled of danger, I always went to the door. This passenger
 might be someone who needs my assistance, I reasoned to myself.
 
 So I walked to the door and knocked. "Just a minute", answered a frail,
 elderly voice. I could hear something being dragged across the floor.
 
 After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her 80's 
 stood before me. She was wearing a print dress and a pillbox hat 
 with a veil pinned on it, like somebody out of a 1940s movie.
 
 By her side was a small nylon suitcase. The apartment looked 
 as if no one had lived in it for years. All the furniture was covered 
 with sheets. There were no clocks on the walls, no knickknacks 
 or utensils on the counters.
 
 In the corner was a cardboard box filled with photos and glassware.
 
 "Would you carry my bag out to the car?" she said. I took the 
 suitcase to the cab, then returned to assist the woman.
 
 She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the curb. 
 She kept thanking me for my kindness.
 
 "It's nothing", I told her. "I just try to treat my passengers the 
 way I would want my mother treated".
 
 "Oh, you're such a good boy", she said.
 
 When we got in the cab, she gave me an address, then asked,
 "Could you drive through downtown?"
 
 "It's not the shortest way," I answered quickly.
 
 "Oh, I don't mind," she said. "I'm in no hurry. I'm on my way to a 
 hospice". I looked in the rearview mirror. Her eyes were glistening.
 
 "I don't have any family left," she continued. "The doctor says I 
 don't have very long."
 
 I quietly reached over and shut off the meter. "What route would 
 you like me to take?" I asked.
 
 For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed 
 me the building where she had once worked as
 an elevator operator. We drove through the neighborhood where 
 she and her husband had lived when they were newlyweds. She had 
 me pull up in front of a furniture warehouse that had once been a 
 ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.
 
 Sometimes she'd ask me to slow in front of a particular building or 
 corner and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.
 
 As the first hint of sun was creasing the horizon, she suddenly said, 
 "I'm tired. Let's go now."
 
 We drove in silence to the address she had given me. 
 It was a low building, like a small convalescent home, with a driveway 
 that passed under a portico.
 
 Two orderlies came out to the cab as soon as we pulled up. 
 They were solicitous and intent, watching her every move. They 
 must have been expecting her.
 
 I opened the trunk and took the small suitcase to the door. 
 The woman was already seated in a wheelchair.
 
 "How much do I owe you?" she asked, reaching into her purse.
 
 "Nothing," I said.
 
 "You have to make a living," she answered.
 
 "There are other passengers," I responded.
 
 Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug.
 She held onto me tightly.
 
 "You gave an old woman a little moment of joy," she
 said. "Thank you."
 
 I squeezed her hand, then walked into the dim
 morning light. Behind me, a door shut.
 
 It was the sound of the closing of a life.
 
 I didn't pick up any more passengers that shift. I drove aimlessly, 
 lost in thought. For the rest of that day, I could hardly talk.
 
 What if that woman had gotten an angry driver, or
 one who was impatient to end his shift?
 
 What if I had refused to take the run, or had honked once,
 then driven away?
 
 On a quick review, I don't think that I have done anything 
 more important in my life.
 
 We're conditioned to think that our lives revolve around great 
 moments. But great moments often catch us unaware-beautifully 
 wrapped in what others may consider a small one.
 
 People may not remember exactly what you did, or what you said, but 
 they will always remember how you made them feel.
