About Me View My Posts
Are you aware the daily diet of an average American child or adolescent (ages two to eighteen) consists of 40% '“empty" calories from sugar and unhealthy fats? About half those calories come from sodas and fruit drinks loaded with sugar, full-fat dairy desserts and foods such as pizza and fast-food burgers. For so many of us growing up, breakfast equated to sugar cereals which were marketed heavily... 11/30/2014 8:00:00 AM

10 Ways to be Healthy and Fit on the Inside
by Kim Challan
About Me View My Posts
Being "fit" means we need to focus just as much on what's happening on the inside as the outside of our bodies. We are exposed to THOUSANDS of toxic chemicals daily from the time we wake up in our flame retardant bed, shower in our chlorinated water, cook in our non-stick pans, wash our face, our clothes, our dishes in chemicals, eat fruits and veggies with pesticides...the list goes on and on and... 11/19/2014 8:00:00 AM

Does Acupuncture Really Work?
by Wellness Editor
About Me View My Posts
Acupuncture is an alternative medical treatment practiced by the Chinese for 2,000 years. Fine needles inserted into a person's skin at specific points are said to affect the meridians, or channels of energy, in the body in order to block pain or eliminate anxiety. After Westerners witnessed Chinese surgeons perform operations using acupuncture in lieu of anesthesia in the 1970s, the method became... 11/18/2014 8:00:00 AM

by Janet Valenty
About Me View My Posts
When choosing a dry cleaner, many people make a choice based on location, convenience, or cost. While important, there are other factors to be considered that might be more critical, especially for those who are concerned about the impact of dry cleaning on the environment or on our health. The dry cleaning services who use less toxic methods are often referred to as “Green Dry Cleaners." How Can... 11/12/2014 8:00:00 AM

Should You Believe Depopulation Conspiracy Theories?
by Fred Fletcher
About Me View My Posts
Some of the most troubling conspiracy theories that are floating on the Internet and other sources of information are those relating to the impetus to depopulate the earth. The proponents of said agenda, we are told, feel that this is necessary because there are simply too many people on the planet. They use as evidence global warming, the lack of food to feed everyone on the planet, the shrinking... 11/11/2014 8:00:00 AM

About Me View My Posts
I met Michael Gross about four years ago at a favorite local sushi hangout in Oceanside California. I took a seat at the sushi bar and he was sitting right next to me. I did not know who he was, but our mutual friend and sushi chef, Davin Waite, made the introduction. The conversation started easily enough as the man has a lot of compelling things to say. Not really conversation, as I would much... 11/9/2014 10:00:00 PM

by Fred Fletcher
About Me View My Posts
Going by the mainstream media, it appears as if Ebola is no longer the big news item it became just a few weeks ago. In fact, some of the members of the "I told you so" brigade (otherwise known as the "Chicken Little mockers") appear to be participating in "Official End of the Ebola Scare" festivities. Reportedly, these ridiculous (to those who know that Ebola and many other Ebola-like disasters will... 11/5/2014 8:00:00 AM

by Wellness Editor
About Me View My Posts
Many of us are concerned that our inability to get a good 8 hours of sleep each night may have an adverse effect on our health. Research shows that sleeping 8 hours or more (or 6 hours or less) per night can actually increase your mortality risk. Time Magazine reported results of a study by Daniel Kripke, a sleep psychologist in California, that found that people who get 6 to 7 hours of sleep live... 11/4/2014 10:00:00 PM

The Competition For Your Life
by Janet Valenty
About Me View My Posts
At first blush, it would seem our society deplores competition, except in sports. Even that is being watered down at the youth level as participation awards gain more traction over actual improvement in the skills of the sport. But look a bit deeper, and you may be surprised to discover that competition is not only widespread in almost all aspects of living, but indeed, quite healthy. Let's lightly... 11/4/2014 8:00:00 AM
