How Do I Know if Stress is Hurting Me? Take Our Quiz
|
It is a fact that most of us endure some stress most every day. In this fast-paced world, stress is certainly a fact of life.

If you have a job, a relationship or a life that is particularly stressful, you may find yourself wondering if the stress you endure is hurting you.
Will you know when the damage is irreparable before it is too late? Is the stress as bad as you think it is, or are you overreacting?

Why Do You Run?

But I can't answer her. For several seconds, I sip at the

10 Disciplines of Effective Nutrition
|
Realistically, I could write a complete book on discipline…
Hey wait, that’s a good idea… Anyway, discipline is such an
exciting concept to me, I am so motivated by the thought
that with each and everyday we can exact discipline in our
lives and one day master the concept entirely. I have
always been fairly good at putting my mind to something and
eventually getting what I wanted. It wasn’t until a few
years ago that I could do this with focus and manifest
specifically what I wanted, what I desired at a more
expedient rate. And with that said, take it from me,
discipline is a virtue, a thing to practice that takes you
where you want to go and gets you what you want, yes...it’s
really that simple.
As for nutrition, because there is so
much conflicting and misleading information out there, I
will try to simplify the disciplinary elements of nutrition
and provide the tangibles on how to exact results from
plain simple practice. After all, practice makes perfect! ....

What Could be the First Pandemic of the 21st Century
|
Public health officials across the globe are concerned
about the avian influenza or H5N1. Although there are many
strains of avian flu, or bird flu, only one has been lethal in humans, H5N1. Outbreaks in Asia since 2003 have killed
more than 60 people and heightened worldwide awareness of the virus. Originally, doctors and scientists thought only
those who worked closely with infected fowl could contract the disease, but there have now been a handful of cases
where human to human contact has transmitted avian flu.
Officials fear the outbreak of avian flu not only because of its lethal nature, but because there is a shortage of
treatment available to those infected. Scientists expect the virus to mutate and cause widespread human infection
before there is a chance to create a vaccine, mass produce and distribute it to the world's population.

A View Of The Mediterranean Diet Pyramid

Unfortunately common knowledge and common practice
often do not go hand in hand. As people do learn that whole
food choices offer health benefits over the more typical
processed food choices, they are seeking out suggestions

Bermudian Cuisine

Imagine living on a semi-tropical island, where the hottest
it gets is in the 80s, and the coldest is in the 50s. The
sand is pink, and the coral reefs help create beautiful
warm water. The smell of hibiscus flowers, ocean air and
oleanders are everywhere. There's the sound of the
kiskadee
birds chirping, boat engines rumbling by, and the houses
are made of limestone in pastel colors. There are small
chameleons jumping around in your garden, and as the sun
goes down, the tree frogs start singing! The people are
very friendly and laid back.
The food is fresh seafood,
tropical fruits and European-style foods.
