When Dr. Weil first wrote about body fat analyzers, they were quite expensive. Today, they are much more affordable, but are they accurate or helpful while trying to lose weight?

Articles of Health

Articles of Health are the writings of Robert O. Young D.Sc., Ph.D., based upon his theory that the human organism is alkaline by design and acidic by function. He suggests that there is only one sickness and one disease which is caused by an over acidification of the blood and then tissues due to an inverted way of living, eating and thinking. There is no way to have health and alkalinity -- health and alkalinity is the way!

Wash his face ? 7:10 am. Eat breakfast ? 7:30 am. Walk to work ? 7:45 am. Start work ? 8 am. Eat lunch ? 12 noon, etc.

Is Our Happiness Pre-Ordained?

    by Christopher Pelham (March 21, 2008 - 12:48pm)

A new scientific study has found that acceptance leads to happiness. Who would have thought?! On average, people become less and less happy until they hit age 44, and then they start to become more happy again as they age and FINALLY start learning to be more accepting.
