Health Blogs on Supplements, Nutrition & Wellness

A horse ride down holiday lane.

 

I know it might be weird to some (including my husband) but I love Christmas music.  At this time of year I make good use of my Pandora Christmas internet radio station.

Health Blog: Exercise – The Fountain of Youth, Part 2

 

You can boost your immunity through proper exercise

Knowing the proper way to exercise will go a long way to keep your body young and stave off disease. Starting in adolescence our body’s internal army, the immune system, slowly begins to lose its ability to fight off invaders such as viruses and bacteria. The reason for this is believed to be the gradual shrinking of our body’s primary organ of the immune system, the thymus gland, which begins to shrink around puberty and by age 60 is barely visible.

One more month to inspire yourself in 2012

Wow, it’s nearly the end of November.  Remember that post I did back in January about New Year’s resolutions?  It was called “Make this year count in a way that is inspiring and meaningful to you!”  How are you doing on it?  You’ve got exactly 1 month to hold true on the things that you said you wanted to do this year.  If you are anything like my family (my sister and step-mom who introduced the tradition), you’re going to pack a bunch into this last month.

California’s Prop. 37 is the latest salvo in the growing rebellion against GMOs (genetically modified crops) and the companies that produce them. The ballot issue, if passed in November, will require food manufacturers who sell their products in California to reveal on the label if the product contains GMOs.

Health Blog: Is There a Better Way to Breathe?

The ancients knew the importance of breathing

Aside from the absolute need for breathing air, we can be aware of the quality of the air we are breathing, and recognize the vital nature of breathing air beyond the acquisition of oxygen alone. Additionally, we can apply techniques of breathing that enhance our wellbeing and health in a multitude of ways.

Health Blog: Make this year count in a way that is inspiring and meaningful to you!

You’ve still got time!

It is not too late to make reasonable goals for 2012I used to make resolutions.  They were always things that were good for me.  Like, “this year I am going to floss my teeth.”  Or “this year I’m going to go to the gym regularly for sure.”  At some point, (after years of making them) I realized that no matter how great my enthusiasm come January 1st, by the time March rolled around I had all but forgot my resolution.

Researchers released a poorly designed on a particular supplement, and the press trumpeted the supposed health risks associated with it.
