Author shows how to be ‘Fit and Fabulous from Fifty Forward!’

Book overflows with natural, healthy ways to living long, well

 

NEW YORK — Author Barbara “Bobbie” Horowitz suffered from major physical problems when she was in her late 50s. She did not give herself long to live but the universe had other plans. With the help of a spiritual coach, she began the process and after extensive research and commitment to healing bit by bit she became healthier than she had ever been. Through her book, “Fit and Fabulous from Fifty Forward!” (published by Balboa Press), she shows readers how to make the process of becoming and staying one’s fittest possible self a fun process.

 

“Need to take off or put on some pounds, get rid of pain or get back your energy?” The author suggests cutting down on the need for medications. At 60, she did just that and gladly shares how she learned to accomplish this and make the process fun. Turning 77 this year, she testifies to feeling great and encourages readers that if she can do it, then they can too. She gives tips on how to find out one’s specific body needs, how to do the research to find doctors and written materials that will lead to the path of health and fitness, and tips on how to make the process fun for the individual.

 

Horowitz shares her own journey to inspire readers saying, “they deserve to be fit and feel well for more years than they may have thought would be possible and that they can enjoy the process.”

 

An excerpt from the book:

“As I said, it’s my responsibility to do everything I can to give you more reason to love yourself.   You’re truly a winner right now!  When you know that you are, you’ll do what winner (your name) would do.”

“If you bought this book or received it as a gift or as part of a course you’re taking, I know you care enough you are, indeed, ready to walk this path.  When you try it and it works for you, you’ll not only have a winner buried deep in your soul, you’ll feel and look and act like the winner you are!”

FYI at 2:30 PM MDT TODAY: Senator Martin Heinrich, Experts Discuss President Trump’s Upcoming Executive Order on National Monuments

Today at 2:30pm MT/4:30pm ET, New Mexico Senator Martin Heinrich will be joined by tribal, legal, and business leaders to discuss tomorrow’s executive action by President Trump targeting America’s national monuments.

The press conference call will be hosted by the Center for American Progress as the president orders a review of more than 20 years of national monument protections, potentially upending protections for millions of acres of public lands, tens of thousands of archaeological sites, and the many cultural and historic areas protected to celebrate America’s history, diversity, and natural beauty.

WHO:

  • Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-NM)

  • Christy Goldfuss, Vice President for Energy and Environment Policy, Center for American Progress Action Fund

  • Kristina Waggoner, Vice President, Boulder-Escalante Chamber of Commerce

  • Mark Squillace, Director of the Natural Resources Law Center, University of Colorado Law School

  • A member of the Bears Ears Inter-Tribal Coalition

 Senate Judiciary Committee Must Carefully Assess Delrahim in Light of Potential Agribusiness Mergers

 

WASHINGTON, DC -- Tomorrow the Senate Judiciary Committee will hold a confirmation hearing for Makan Delrahim, Donald Trump’s nominee for Assistant Attorney General of the Department of Justice’s Antitrust Division. The DOJ’s Antitrust Division reviews and makes decisions on corporate mergers, and as an Assistant Attorney General Delrahim will be the ultimate decider on the proposed merger of giant agrochemical companies Monsanto Company and Bayer AG.

 

A coalition of 80 farmer, consumer and environmental groups have raised concerns about the merger, and the growing consolidation of the agricultural sector. A potential merger of Monsanto and Bayer would create the world’s largest agribusiness company, and would have a negative impact on American farmers already struggling with slim profit margins, increase prices for consumers and stifle innovation.

 

“A merged Monsanto + Bayer will undoubtedly put their corporate profits over small American farms, squeezing farmers and eventually driving up prices for consumers,” said Tiffany Finck-Haynes, Food Futures Campaigner with Friends of the Earth. “If mega-corporations are allowed to hold a near monopoly on the industry, innovation from small and organic farmers will be stifled, and the consumers will have little choice.”

 

"The time is now to stand up for consumers and farmers. If this merger goes through, there will be no going back–our food, our farmers, and our consumers will be irreparably injured,” said Anne Isakowitsch, senior campaigner with SumOfUs, a global consumer watchdog. “The government will have placed the future of innovation, of food safety, and of food prices in the hands of a mega-corporation. We urge the Committee to ensure that Mr. Delrahim has the skill and dedication necessary to ensure that competition and innovation remain vibrant in America.”

 

“Farmers are facing extreme pressure in the market from the low commodity prices they are receiving for their products,” said Mike Weaver, President of the Organization for Competitive Markets. “If the Bayer-Monsanto merger is allowed, not only will they see further pressure from their input costs, but our nation will be turning over access to these inputs to foreign corporations and interests; this should also be considered a national security issue.”

 

Today the coalition sent a letter to members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, urging them to carefully consider Delrahim’s nomination to ensure that the proposed merger of Monsanto Company and Bayer AG is fully scrutinized free ofunwarranted political interference.

STATEMENT on Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke, the Outdoor Economy, and National Monuments

DENVER—The Outdoor Industry Association released a new report today that reveals the outdoor economy drives $887 billion in consumer spending and 7.6 million American jobs.

Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke attended OIA’s event at the National Press Club this morning, 24 hours before President Trump is expected to sign an executive order laying the groundwork for an attack on America’s national monuments and the Antiquities Act, our national monuments law.

In response, Jennifer Rokala, executive director at the Center for Western Priorities, said:

“While Secretary Zinke is paying lip service to our public lands, President Trump is preparing to launch an assault on our national monuments. An executive order that undermines national monuments is not only an attack on America’s heritage and history, it’s an attack on the millions of jobs and hundreds of billions of dollars that depend on our parks, monuments, and other public land.”
