NORTH AMERICAN
PRECIS SYNDICATE
Increasingly, those looking for
work are fnding they may have to
move to where their chances of fnd-
ing a job are greater.
According to one study, 44 per-
cent of those interviewed said they
would be willing to relocate for a ca-
reer opportunity this year.
Nearly one-third of employers
participating in the same study said
they are willing to pay to relocate
an employee in 2012, especially for
positions tied to technology and
revenue generation. The study was
conducted by CareerRelocate.com,
Career-Builder’s job relocation site.
If you’re thinking of moving to a
new city or state, here are some tips
to help you have a smooth transition
to your new location.
Look For PLaces Where Your
skiLLs are in DemanD
For example, on CareerRelocate.
com, you can run a simple keyword
search and view a map detailing
where the most and fewest jobs are
for your line of work. You can also
view actual job listings that offer re-
location opportunities.
PLan aheaD
Learn what you would need to
earn in order to maintain your cur-
rent standard of living in another
city. Your research should include
factors such as housing, property
values, schools, transportation, cost
of living indexes, insurance premi-
ums and social life.
The next step is to examine how
you will move there. Will you drive
to your new location, fy, have your
things shipped or sell your things
and buy new ones when you arrive?
Also, it can be helpful to have an idea
of where you will live before you get
there.
Make sure to set aside enough
to cover expenses, such as moving
costs, initial housing costs and fur-
niture.
consiDer The WeaTher
Wherever you’re headed, make
sure to research the weather pat-
terns in your new city or state to plan
accordingly for clothing and getting
about.
Don’T ForgeT Your sociaL LiFe
As you research housing and
moving expenses, don’t forget to pay
a little attention to your new social
calendar. Research activities that
refect your interests: a book club,
sports teams or whatever you’re into.
If you are moving with your family,
make sure to line up some social ac-
tivities for them as well.
reach ouT
If you have friends, family or col-
leagues who have relocated in the
last few years, reach out to them for
valuable insights for your own big
change of address.

take a new job, visit www.CareerRe-

Exercise, Why Do We Need It?
One of the dangers of learning new information is that sometimes it requires a major shift in ones thinking. Many people resist
this and continue to think in their old thought patterns even though in the back of their minds, they know their thinking is flawed.
Over the last few months this has happened to me and I’m doing my best maintain my new information rather that sliding back into
the old thought, but it has made counseling people on diet, nutrition, and exercise very difficult.
We have recently learned that the Apo E Gene controls how the body transports fats. We also know that each of the six Apo
E genotypes is influenced by different types of food and different types of exercise. This means that many chronic diseases are
caused by a mismatch between the body’s genotype preference and the actual food intake and exercise activity that a person
has been doing.
So this means that counseling patients on life style changes can be very precise if we have the Apo E Genetic information. But
I found myself feeling handicapped when I do not have that information. So I have had to revert back to some sort of generic
directions that will have to be satisfactory until a person gets their genetic test.
Exercise has been a topic that I have tried to ignore for most of my career. This was not based on the unimportance of the
benefits of exercise, but my own dislike for what I thought was useless expenditure of energy and a waste of time. However, with
some new understanding, I am changing my thinking.
There are two factors. I recently attended a conference on chronic illness and chronic liver disease. Some research was
presented that showed a Frailty Score that determined survival probability. The most important feature of evaluating the Frailty
Score and survivability after an accident, acute illness, or surgery was the amount of lean muscle mass a person carried. The exact
mechanism of this is not yet clear. But, this means that if we can build and maintain muscle mass we can reduce frailty and enhance
how we deal with chronic illness, acute illness, injuries and surgery.
The second factor has to do with normal body weight. We know that resting muscle uses only stored fat as its fuel source.
Working muscle uses glucose as its fuel. If we do not eat for three hours, we begin to break down muscle for energy. Some time
ago, I wrote an article, “It is Good to Feel Hunger – You are Burning Stored Fat”. It is apparent now that
this concept is not accurate. True biological hunger tells us it is time to eat. But it is important to feed our
body fuel, not junk. Each meal and snack must contain some fats, proteins and carbohydrates. If we remain
hungry and do not eat, the body will begin to “feed on itself”. But it feeds on our lean muscle. The down
side of this is that reducing the total muscle mass ultimately reduces the consumption of stored body fat,
reducing our ability to eliminate excess fat. So, these two things go together. We need to exercise to build
muscle and eat every three hours to maintain that new muscle. Only then can our weight normalize.
We need both aerobic and anaerobic exercise. Aerobic exercise is hot, sweaty, fun activities that get our
heart rate up and get the blood pumping. Anaerobic exercise is stretching and strengthening. Both build
muscle. I will explore next week what this means and how much we should do of each kind of exercise. In
the meantime get moving. We were designed for motion and mobility, not sitting and riding.
