Laughter, the best medicine

January 29, 2012

When I was a wee lad my parents used to get the Reader’s Digest delivered to the house. Or maybe I just dreamed that and I only read it at the dentist’s office. Either way my favorite feature was always “Laughter is the best medicine” section where people would send in jokes. Why is this [...]

REM, Dreaming and Manifesting Reality

July 29, 2011

REM dreaming and manifesting reality. Wow. I thought the last post on pruned fingers was pushing the boundaries, but this one is going in a whole new direction. To start off with, this post is a response to a comment I got on a post regarding cancer prevention. One of the seven steps I listed [...]

Living in the Now

July 4, 2011

You only have today. This may sound contrary to an “all health” post but you have to realize that today is it. It’s never tomorrow as Janis Joplin said, “it’s all the same f**cking day, man.” But that being said what are you doing regarding your health? Are you putting it off until tomorrow. Do [...]

Life Balance – It’s a Must!

August 23, 2010

This is sort of a continuation of the last post regarding slippery places. I realize that lots of those so called “slippery places” are somewhat unavoidable.

Slippery Places

August 20, 2010

There is an old saying that goes “If you don’t want to slip, don’t go to slippery places.” I don’t know whether I read this in a fortune cookie or in a psychology class, or maybe on the radio, but it sure is something we all need to wrap our thoughts around. What does it [...]

Introduction To Meditation for the Complete Beginner

July 26, 2010

Some people get scared off by meditation. I’ve talked to conservative religious people who told me in no uncertain terms that meditation was “from the devil” and if you practiced it you were opening your mind to evil. In days gone by that may have been enough to drive people away, but in these times [...]

Effective Exercise Only Comes With Rest

July 15, 2010

This is a follow up to my article on pushing yourself and the leg workout. When you get started on a workout, you want to keep it going strong, but you have to remember that you can do too much.  Working out as much as you can, for as long as you can, and as [...]

Health and Fitness in the Great Outdoors

May 6, 2010

The weather has finally changed here in Pennsylvania, USA and I think we aren’t going back to the coldness again this season, so what are you doing inside? Hopefully the sun has set and you are relaxing after a long walk enjoying Mother Nature in all her splendor. All winter long I have been looking [...]

Magnesium-L-threonate and Brain Function

February 2, 2010

I have been concentrating a lot on supplements lately and diet, but there is more to life than those aspects (although diet and supplements are very important.) I was reading an interesting article on magnesium. More and more research is showing that most diets are not including enough magnesium to help with deteriorating brain function. [...]

Total Health

November 1, 2009

It’s easy to get focused on the gym and your workouts. It’s easy to get focused (and sometimes anal) about the food you use. But we have to realize that health is a combination of those factors plus your mental state. That’s what I want to touch on today. Without the life balance you aren’t [...]
