For most people, an egg a day does not increase your risk of a heart attack, a stroke, or any other type of cardiovascular disease.

In the past, it seemed logical to think eggs would be bad for your heart health. We knew that the cholesterol in eggs came from the egg yolks, and we knew that high levels of cholesterol, especially LDL (bad) cholesterol in the blood increased the risk of cardiovascular disease.

So, it seemed logical that avoiding cholesterol in the dietmade sense.

Since then, however, research has shown that most of the cholesterol in our body is made by our liver — it doesn't come from cholesterol we eat.

The liver is stimulated to make cholesterol primarily by saturated fat and trans fat in our diet, not dietary cholesterol. But a large egg contains little saturated fat — about 1.5 grams (g). And research has confirmed that eggs also contain many healthy nutrients: lutein and zeaxanthin, which are good for the eyes; choline, which is good for the brain and nerves; and various vitamins (A, B, and D). In fact, just one large egg contains 270 international units (IU) of vitamin A and 41 IU of vitamin D.

One large egg also contains about 6 g of protein and 72 calories.

In conclusion, here's what you should know:

**Cholesterol in Eggs**:

Eggs are high in dietary cholesterol, with most of it found in the yolk.

However, research suggests that dietary cholesterol has less impact on blood cholesterol levels than saturated and trans fats do.

 **Egg Whites**:

If you're concerned, you can opt for egg whites, which are cholesterol-free but still rich in protein.


**Pairing Matters**:

Avoid pairing eggs with high-fat meats like bacon or sausage, as these can raise LDL cholesterol 

 **Moderation**: For most people, eating up to one egg per day is considered safe and doesn't significantly increase heart disease risk.

The evidence that cholesterol in one egg a day is safe for most people comes from huge studies — many conducted at Harvard Medical School — that have followed hundreds of thousands of people over decades. In these studies people regularly report what they eat and all of the medical conditions that they develop. These studies do not find higher rates of heart attacks, strokes, or other cardiovascular diseases in people who eat up to one egg per day.

“What if there were a drug to treat every illness, across all body systems, proven potent against heart disease, depression, arthritis, PMS and erectile dysfunction ― even in chronic diseases such as asthma, dementia, and certain types of cancer? What if it had no side effects, was completely free, readily available, and worked for everyone? Every single person who took it decreased her risk of premature death and raised his quality of life. Would you want it?”

The Center for Disease control writes:

Recent estimates indicate that only about half of United States (US) adults meet aerobic activity recommendations, and only a quarter adhere to both aerobic and muscle-strengthening guidelines.

So if we’re sure about the cure, how can we most effectively deliver it?  Let’s throw out a few ideas:

Make it convenient…

Make it safe…

Make it user friendly… 

Make it as inviting as exercise can get with catchy & motivating music…

Make it doable in street clothes, work clothes, stay at home clothes or add a dimension: no clothes!

Make it so there is progress so that I can ramp my dedication up from “trying 2 minutes” to “I’m fitter for those stairs that were a challenge before…”

Try a minute of cure on ChairDancingFitness.com… It’s worth more than a pound of cure!

Hello, I have been a follower/fan of Jodi and her great dvd's for over 10 years plus and have several of her dvds. I am handicapped and was injured again a few months ago and just was able to start PT from doctor and I also started again the Chair Yoga and the Simply Stretch dvd of Jod"s and I did not realize how much I missed them and how they made me feel wonderful again. Just wanted Jodi and her team to know this. Thank you. KZ

Excerpts from The Cleveland Clinic

Endorphins are chemicals (hormones) your body releases when it feels pain or stress. They’re released during pleasurable activities such as exercise, massage, eating and sex too. Endorphins help relieve pain, reduce stress and improve your sense of well-being.

Endorphins are created in your pituitary gland and hypothalamus, both located in the brain. Endorphins are a type of neurotransmitter, or messenger in your body. They attach to your brain’s reward centers (opioid receptors) and carry signals across your nervous system.

Endorphin comes from the words “endogenous,” which means within the body, and “morphine,” an opiate pain reliever. Put together, that means endorphins are natural pain relievers. They are “feel-good” chemicals because they can make you feel better and put you in a positive state of mind.

Move over endorphins... Make way for the discovery of the "Hope Molecule" Myokines!
Excerpts from the Daily Star, June 24, 2024

At the base of the connection between physical exercise and mental health is the fascinating discovery of "Hope Molecules," or as they are scientifically known, Myokines.

During exercise, these molecular messengers, Myokines, secreted by muscles during physical activity, make their way to the brain and other organs. Myokines act as antidepressants, enhance mood, improve learning ability, and protect the brain from aging effects. They can even reduce symptoms of depression and trauma, making exercise a powerful mental health booster.



The mechanism is simple - when the muscles contract from an activity, Myokines are excreted into the bloodstream, disseminated to the body, and ultimately reach the brain.

Recent research has shed light on the role "Hope Molecules" play in promoting brain health. Their effect in the body causes neurogenesis—the process of creating new neurons—and thus uplifts mood and increases brain activity.

Myokines make it possible for the development of a resilient brain, which would become more tolerant to the pressures and tensions life brings along.

According to a prominent study, routine physical activity might be equivalent to the intake of really powerful natural antidepressants that would serve to protect the brain from the dangers brought about by stress and its possible precipitating factors for depression. The implication goes rather wide to imply that the road to mental resilience and happiness is actually paved with physical activity. The promise these "Hope Molecules" hold for mental health opens a new vista of understanding: exercise is not only for physical fitness, it is an integral part of our emotional and psychological well-being.

The discovery of "Hope Molecules" illuminates the path of wellness as the intertwining of physical activity with mental health. Therefore, with every step, action of the limbs, every dance move, we have the beacon of hope to empower us to fight against stress and depression with this natural antidepressant, synthesized by our muscles.

Let's not only adopt physical activity as part of the way to be fit, but as one of the most indispensable tools in our mental health arsenal, and a means to build resilience, joy, and overall well-being.


The concept of “Hope Molecules” is fascinating.

So, keep moving!

Regular exercise will generate these "Hope Molecules", promoting positive feelings and alleviating stress, anxiety, and depression. ?♂️??

A new research study from Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, finds that both high and low intensity physical activity can help offset a genetic predisposition to developing depression.

Doctors should emphasize exercise!

A prescription for physical activity could be a valuable piece in a doctor's toolkit — not just for all patients, as everyone can benefit from increased physical activity, but particularly for those who have a genetic predisposition to developing depression.

"Our findings strongly suggest that, when it comes to depression, genes are not destiny and that being physically active has the potential to neutralize the added risk of future episodes in individuals who are genetically vulnerable."

I find your Celebration program helps me get the aerobic exercise I sorely need. It is easy to follow and I can work at my own pace. It feels so good to be able to work out again; leaving relaxed and energized. I highly recommend this video.

Dear Jodi,

There are no words to express my gratitude for how you and your wonderful Chair Dancing® Fitness programs have helped me change my life. 

I somehow felt a need to do something about my lifetime weight problems and super low self esteem issues that have bothered me for years. I studied the options for bariatric surgery, and in 2008 I accidentally found the original dvd advertised and I ordered it. 

It was so perfect for my needs, and sooo much fun! I soon had all of the neighborhood kids from 8 yrs. old through high school, and my music students, and their moms wanting to exercise with me. I have a small house, and could not take everyone at the same time, so the parents of the neighborhood children made a "deal" with their kids. If they finished their homework and chores, they could come over at 5 pm and chair dance with me.

Now, the ladies at my church want me to help them get started. I've had positive input from my therapists and doctors, who are still confused how I lost 200 lbs. and have kept it off. 

I am trying to keep losing at least 20 more lbs. before having my heavy 40 or 50 lbs of heavy skin that still make me look fat and all the dark circles around my eyes etc. I have overcome the need for bariatric surgery, I LOVE helping others and the Chair Dancing Fitness  is such a help to me! 

I wish I could tell the whole world how your programs are helping me! Thank you again for encouraging me to go after the life of my dreams! I hope you will always be a part of it.
