Good Housekeeping Magazine Celebrates 125 Years All-Year Long

In the current issue of Good Housekeeping magazine, Editor in Chief Rosemary Ellis' editor's note states: "In 1885, a dozen eggs cost 21 cents, a dollar bought what $23 buys today, Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn debuted in America...and Dr. Pepper hit store shelves...and on May 2, 1885, Clark W. Bryan published the first edition of Good Housekeeping, "a family journal."

Good Housekeeping may be best-known for establishing itself as a reliable consumer advocate, creating the Good Housekeeping Research Institute, which evaluates products for the Good Housekeeping Seal and also has an enviable reputation of providing practical advice on a variety of real-life topics for generations of women.

Since it would be difficult to celebrate 125 years of magazine history in a single anniversary issue, the iconic women's magazine is doing it all year-long with special anniversary content in each issue that will include:

• “125 Best” series: The magazine will offer comprehensive lists of the “125 Best” parenting strategies, organization tips, 125 calorie snacks, etc.

• “Looking Back”: Good Housekeeping will feature archival pieces each month, from cartoons and jokes to fashion and beauty advice.

•  Vintage Covers: Every month, the magazine will share a favorite vintage cover, highlighting some of the timeless illustrations and photography that has always been a part of our heritage. The vintage cover featured in the January issue is from January 1913.

• “On Your Mind”: In the opinion section of the magazine, Good Housekeeping will publish provocative, compelling or ironic readers’ letters from years gone by to give today’s readers an idea of what their “predecessors” were thinking.

The current January issue of Good Housekeeping magazine features actress/model Brooke Shields on the cover and its upcoming February issue, out next week, features Vince Gill and Amy Grant on the cover.

Back Surgery - Another Perspective
In the summer of 09 (at the age of 68) I was diagnosed with multiple back problems. After going through PT and two epidural injections, I was told that my only relief would come from surgery. Since I was in debilitating pain, I elected for the surgery route which I had in late Oct. 09. From the perspective of pain, the surgeries were a complete success. I am mobile, have started the long, slow process to rehabilitating my strength and endurance, and fully expect to return to cross country skiing, biking and rowing in a year.

Why was my back surgery so successful when so much bad press is out there advising folks to avoid it at all costs? As I was going through my exercises during my post-surgical rehab, I couldn't help but notice that the vast majority of rehab patients of all ages were considerably overweight and out of shape and were struggling with their exercises. Many were only doing them half-heartedly. I have not seen statistics on the success/failure of back surgeries as related to pre-surgery weight and fitness level, but my observations lead me to wonder. It seems that we overlook the obvious in our effort to be "sensitive" to overweight and out of shape folks, and in the long run are doing them a great disservice. I would like to see the statistics on successful and failed back surgeries (and for that matter on hip and knee replacements) as related to pre-surgery weight and general fitness level. How many of these candidates are in reasonably good physical condition, get regular aerobic and weight-bearing exercise, and are within 10% of their ideal body weight. Accepting the privilege of having a talented surgeon do his/her best to restore a person to good health should be accompanied by accepting the responsibility of being in the best shape possible before having the surgery, or at least accept the responsibility to make a commitment to a healthier lifestyle as part of their post-surgery rehab. After all, many back problems are the result of poor lifestyle habits and being overweight in the first place.

My friends and my Dr. are thrilled with the rate of my recovery. I tell everyone I know how lucky I am to have had good role models in my life who set an example of the importance of maintaining a healthy body weight and lifestyle without regard to their calendar age. I also tell them that I wouldn't hesitate to do the surgery all over again. After all, my back pain was completely relieved immediately after surgery, I have not taken a pain pill since two weeks after surgery, and I am well on my way to a nearly complete recovery.

The British version of the magazine "Good Housekeeping" is the most reliable source of information about food, diet and fitness, women's health, housekeeping. The journal regularly publishes the results of examinations of the same name of the Institute (Good Housekeeping Institute).

thanks very much. i search the information for a long time. good luck for you.
I was wondering about the audiobook. Having Tom Ford sunglasses guest stars would help break up any non-fiction audiobook, that's a good idea.
