Discussions on health and nutrition.
One of the best exercises you can participate in is the activity of running. It is good for your heart and will help you maintain a healthy weight. But one of the most underrated aspects of running is the fact that you can use your love of the run to help contribute to you favorite and most heartfelt causes, charities or non-profit organizations.
When your child makes the decision to participate in athletics, one of the things you have to realize is that you are also going to be significantly involved in that sport or activity. The behavior that you model during athletic contests is going to have a
Gluten is a protein compound normally found in bread products, including pasta and beer. During bread production, gluten adds structure and integrity to the dough, giving it its familiar shape and feel. Gluten is also an additive in many food items where you wouldn’t necessarily expect it. Ice cream, lunch meat, salad dressing, candy, and breakfast cereals all potentially contain gluten as a filler. Although gluten is perfectly natural, a small percentage of people exhibit an extreme intolerance to the substance.
Autism and Asperger’s Syndrome both belong to what is known as the “Autism spectrum”. Disorders that belong in this category are development disorders that deal with neurobiological aspect of the body.

Those of you that know me, know that I am an advocate of supplements. Specifically of vitamins and minerals. My belief has always been that taking vitamins, although some gets wasted, can only help you and your body will indeed use whatever it can. We all know that the RDA is ridiculous.
So, in that frame of mind…….
A good friend of mine introduced me to a product which at first I was pretty skeptical. You hear about all kinds of “super” drinks all the time. She told me that I must try this elixir called Noni.

Hi! My name is Lisa and I’ve been Marneen’s friend since 1999. Marneen knows I’ve been struggling with health issues since before we met, and he asked me to share my story and experiences with my illness through his website. I’ve had digestive issues dubbed as IBS, or Irritable Bowel Syndrome, for most of my adult life. I suffered for many years, and I was told after my initial diagnosis to avoid fried foods, spicy foods, dairy and vegetables in excess. First of all, I wondered what COULD I eat, but since that was clear, it was also a bit vague as to the logic behind the reasons WHY those things were suggested to me. IBS could have many issues. For me, primarily, it was an upset and sour stomach. On the rare days that I was healthy, I thought to look back at my diet from the day before and still scratched my head as to why I was blessed that day, but cursed the other days. In hindsight, I should have kept a diet diary.
