yoga is a great way to

midnightbliss — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 15:38:22 -0500

yoga is a great way to stretch all those muscles and also for stress relief. I am doing hatha yoga twice a week and it really made a difference.

Great tips, i totally agree!

Great tips, i totally agree! Learning to cook is probably the most important thing to start eating healthy. Enough with fast-food, frozen dinners and over salted canned food! I loved your article, without thinking about this, i apply most of them already and it really helps! But i never though about making packaged food and i will sure try it. It's perfect when you're in a hurry or just don't want to cook, to keep us away from tentation! Thanks a lot for this great article.

I made the very mistake somehow myself, I need to correct my 'correction' :

thecholesterollie.com

is the correct site. How embarrassing! But at least I noticed and corrected finally (I think). Worst is I can't blame anybody else or anything else. Can someone suggest what and whom I could blame to rescue my ego? That would stop me feeling suicidal for sure.... such fragile me!...

Be well!

better note please!

uncle joe — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 18:42:36 -0500

In my post before this I notice the website was separated by the editing feature here from being one word that needed be. This will confuse people trying to get to the site I intended. So here I repeat it in a separate line:

the cholesterollie.com

Be well!

cholesterol and low fat diet

uncle joe — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 18:26:21 -0500

The articles are good, comments also but I want to offer some update and correction: re. cholesterol; I urge everyone to look at the site the cholesterollie.com a real gem. Controversy and propaganda rules unfortunately and many doctors, specialists, medical writers and researchers who sold their soul to the devil propagate the lies about cholesterol. Animal fat is pilloried too, vegetable oils and margarines promoted instead of butter. Recently a doctor (?) wrote promoting omega 6 cooking oils as hearth-health protecting! The oil seed industry hired this mammal who makes humans a bad name as wells as doctors'. While we need both omega 6 and 3 and the rest their ratio is crucial! We are grossly under consuming long chain omega 3 from quality fish, and quality supplements to redress the balance. Look into this aspect as well. I try not to post a lengthy essay here. With animal fat the issue is the method of rearing the animals, their commercial food, are they free range or feed-lot controlled? Their meat and fat will contain either the good nutrients or the pesticide residues, growth hormones, antibiotics all detrimental to our health. The extreme lean meat of today's life-stock does taste cardboard as well. Big Pharma, the Food Industry, Regulatory Bodies and Politicians all conspire against our health. If you think I am over the top, just dig a bit deeper. Below the layer of rubbish information and propaganda on the Internet garbage tip buried are many studies contradicting present propaganda and doctored research, the very same reputable publications that carried them now corrupted to select industry-wetted articles to print. Mankind certainly keep coming up novel ways to speed up it's extinction! Not enough women are in politics and science who I dare say more capable and sensible to manage our affairs and we pay for that. Being a male, a father and more I am ashamed and worried. Thanks for the website. Grant me honourable female status! (But I keep my gender I am happy with)-

Caffeine addiction is

JeffL — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 08:21:28 -0500

Caffeine addiction is becoming a serious problem. There are so many
products with caffeine as an ingredient that most people have no idea
just how much caffeine they actually consume every day.I don't really understand your second point, but do object to homosexuality and addiction being even tangentially compared.Thanks for your blog intresting.Thanks for sharing.

We initially made this

kean12 — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 23:06:52 -0500

We initially made this switch due to researching the health benefits
(disease reversal and prevention), losing all of that weight was just a
perk! So, that may be something you're interested in.

It is said heart can be

sandy_rozares — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 03:16:52 -0500

It is said heart can be damaged more with emotional or mental stress than physical exertion or eating diorders. So it is always recommend to make yourself mentally stronger. I think Yoga is a real good thing to achieve the mental toughness to cope with the mental stress.

opposites!

Untameable — Sun, 21 Jun 2009 01:27:42 -0500

My husband and I are opposites, I am extremely timely, he is always rushing to be on time. I have deep empathy towards the world and many problems that people pain over and he tears down everyone and everything good about this country and people's problems. He is very impatient sometimes I am patient. He loves junk food, I love eating healthy. I like change while he hates it. It can be very difficult at times especially when it comes to the caring and empathy stuff...(that really pushes my buttons). But I love him very much and he does me. We have been through more pitfalls and serious relationship tests than we deserved but are still together and pretty happy. We are in need of some real quallity personal time together though right now and this week hes on vacation...Whoo-Hoo! I do agree with the other though, that having opposite things helps bring a middle ground over time and can help one better themselves in the bad things. My most difficult personality trait is I am very critical, more on my self than others. But he is very difficult to please too. It only took me 6 years of living together to find that flaw in him...lol!Karen Lynn S.

Walking is a great solution for those with little time

expectingmommy — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 10:47:36 -0500

I appreciate you writing this article. I have found that my schedule is flexible with a little planning. I try to walk everyday for at least an hour. I get even more bang for my time with an new fitness tool called MBT. If you haven't hear of them, it is a shoe that helps burn more calories and work the legs more due to its sole construction. They've worked great for me and give a nice boost to my workout. I wear them when shopping or out and about. Expensive, but a good investment. Just my two cents.

Powerful

Jean Philippe — Fri, 29 May 2009 04:42:21 -0500

Positive affirmations are powerful. I am sure everyone has tried them and felt their power, even unconsciously. My problem is that sometimes I forgot to use them. Can you believe that? Also it takes some efforts to get started but it is worth so much!

Negative thinking on the other hand seems so easy and like natural. Actually it is not but as you said, it's been ingrained since childhood, so we just go with it. Now imagine redirecting all this energy that you use for your negative thinking towards affirmations, what a tremendous change it would produce after a while.

So far I've continued to

Yoga

I love yoga but have found myself getting out of the habit of doing it. I need to start doing it regularly again. It is so relaxing!
