Broadway’s Real Life Dads Choose Kids Over Careers

June 16, 2012

Divabetic DadsIt’s easy to find some hilarious, loving and sometimes even terrifying father characters on Broadway stages right now, but as Father’s Day approaches, we want to salute some of the real-life dads who juggle starring in a show with their parental duties.

Priscilla Queen of the Desert star Will Swenson had yet another adorable moment with his“wee posse” at the 2012 Tony Awards, while One Man, Two GuvnorsTony winner James Corden told Broadway.com that picking up a Tony wasn’t as exciting as seeing his son walk for the first time. #fathersday

The happy healthcare host, Mr. Divabetic stops by the 66th Annual Tony® Awards at the Beacon Theater in New York to talk about divas, dazzle and diabetes.

Health Benefits of Golf

June 16, 2012

Golf is Great ExerciseSweden’s Karolinska Institute researchers discovered that the golfers had a 40 percent lower death rate than non-golfers of the same gender, age and socioeconomic circumstance. What’s more, they enjoyed an average five year increase in life expectancy.

The researchers credited several factors for golf’s healthful effect. “A round of golf means being outside for four or five hours, walking at a fast pace for six to seven kilometres, something which is known to be good for the health,” said lead study author Anders Ahlbom in a statement at the time of the study’s release. “People play golf into old age, and there are also positive social and psychological aspects to the game that can be of help.”

But just how strenuous is a round of golf? An experiment conducted by Neil Wolkodoff of Denver’s Rose Center for Health and Sports Sciences and detailed inColorado AvidGolfer magazine found that golfing a 18-hole course while carrying one’s own bag burned a full 721 calories. Using a pull cart was similarly beneficial, burning 718 calories, though there was no shame in bringing a caddy along: walking alongside a caddy, unencumbered by the bag, still managed to burn 613 calories and riding in a cart burned 411 calories.

So next time you find yourself in close proximity to a course (this Father’s Day perhaps?), it might be worthwhile to take a page from Tiger Woods — and hit the links.#usopen

Sheryl Crow Sizzles in The Summer’s Hottest Look at Tonys

June 16, 2012

Divabetic at Tony AwardsSheryl Crow looked stunning on the carpet at the Tony Awards wearing Jennifer Fisher Black Diamond Chain Link Bracelet, Cognac Diamond Cougar Ring and Large Black Diamond Hoops.

Sheryl’s fabulous gown also showcases the hottest trend in fashion and  jewelry for 2012: BLUE. Turquoise tones, navy, aqua, azure, in general blue are definitely  the color of the year. For the divas out there thinking that blue is not their color, you can bet you can find a great blue hue that is just perfect for your skin tone, so you might as well grab a few pieces. The trick is to always have few pieces that are in season but always opt for variety when in comes to color and jewelry.

The happy healthcare host, Mr. Divabetic stops by the 66th Annual Tony Awards at the Beacon Theater in New York to talk about divas, dazzle and diabetes. Check out all of Mr. Divabetic’s videos including “Carb Kitty,” ” Diabetes Numerology” and “Mother Your Diabetes” on YouTube.
