New Look for the Athlete’s Heart Blog!

November 11, 2013 By Larry Creswell, MD 3 Comments

Starting today, you’ll see that my blog has a new look!

Most of all, I hope that you’ll find the blog simpler and easier to navigate. I’ve moved the blog to WordPress and reorganized the indexing by category and tag. The archived content should now be much easier to find for the interested reader.

My mission here at the blog remains the same: writing about athletes and heart health. Let me hear from you. Leave a comment here at the blog and help us have some discussion. Or drop me a line with a suggestion for an upcoming blog post.

Take a moment to subscribe to the blog and to follow me on Twitter at @athletesheart or on Facebook at /athletesheart. I’m working hard at being more oganized–and more integrated–with social media.

Lastly, a big thanks to Dr. John Mandrola for his shining example and to Sharon Hujik for her help with the remake of my blog.

Now on Facebook!

I’m establishing another home for Athlete’s Heart, on Facebook. Join me there and give me a LIKE to follow along. I’m still learning my way around Facebook, but I think the Page there will offer the chance to be more interactive with readers. We’ll see!

I’ll still be here at the blog and on Twitter at @athletesheart.

Useful Website: Recipe Blog

I’ve gotten several inquiries lately about (heart) healthy eating for athletes, asking about print or online resources for additional information.

I thought I’d draw your attention to a terrific online resource….the blog of my friend, Vince Matteo. You’ll see that he writes creatively about a variety of triathlon-related topics, but you should check out the “What’s for Dinner?” section, where he keeps what he calls a “recipe blog,” complete with pictures. I’ll put a link on my front page.

Recent recipes include:
Quinoa Veggie Stir Fry
Stuffed Bell Pepper with Salsa Verde
Pressure Cooker Pasta Dinner
Chicken Breast Chili

You can also follow Vince on Twitter at @felog and hear about new recipes as they’re posted. Like I said….a useful resource for athletes of all sorts.

Useful Website: Science of Sport blog

Gordo Byrn, at Endurance Corner, led me to the Science of Sport blog. This is a terrific website, full of useful and scientifically factual information about a variety of topics of interest to athletes.

There is some useful information and editorial comment about sudden death in athletes in their archive that will interest our readers here. And there’s so much more….

I’ll include a permanent link to this website at the right.
