7 Simple Ways to Save 700 Calories

Oct 12, 2011 Posted Under: Uncategorized  

I was putting the finishing touches on this blog post when an alert popped up—on my iPhone, of course—that Steve Jobs had passed away. And the first thing I recalled about the Apple founder was not his technological savvy or design genius, but his love/hate relationship with mortality. Jobs saw death not just as an adversary, but as a potent motivator. In his famous commencement speech at Stanford University, here’s what Jobs told the graduating class of 2005: “I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself, ‘If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?’ And whenever the answer has been ‘No’ for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.” I’ve lived by those words since I first read them, and it’s readers like you who keep me answering “Yes,” day after day. Take, for example, Donn

15 Foods High in Vitamin E

Sep 26, 2011 Posted Under: Healthy Food News  

Vitamin E is an important fat-soluble antioxidant compound that aids the body in neutralizing the harmful after-effects of oxidation of fats. Current research is even looking into the important role that this vitamin plays in stopping free-radical production, a key method of preventing the development of chronic diseases and ageing. It is also a vital element in the overall maintenance of a healthy immune system.

Some studies are even looking into its role in preventing degenerative mental imbalances such as dementia and Alzheimers disease. And while many of us may do well in taking extra vitamin E supplements, we can use an organic diet to get a large amount of the daily requirements for this powerful antioxidant lipid.

Why Spring and Summer Is The Perfect Time To Start a Diet

Sep 23, 2011 Posted Under: Healthy Food Reviews  

I really dont know many people that like to diet.

Whether they are looking to lose weight, lower their cholesterol levels, help control their high blood pressure or just want to get healthier, dieting can be expensive and inconvenient.

For me its more about the expense than anything else. Were on a very tight budget after both my husband and I had lost our jobs. Although he has since found a temporary job ( I still havent) his wage is less than half than it was before so while I would love to buy the healthiest food possible we just cant afford it. If I can spend $1.00 on a loaf of French bread and that fills both of us up for the evening, then that would be our dinner.

To Burt, the blasts he experienced in Afghanistan eventually became a kind of music. The detonation of C4 and other such military-grade explosives felt like extremely high notes — painful, yet over quickly. But blasts from bombs made out of fertilizer — a favourite of Afghan insurgents — were like standing next to a speaker at a rock concert: the dull bass thuds didn’t necessarily hurt, but they would reverberate through his body like a wave, and stay with him for a long time afterwards.

They’re with him still. Burt,
