    Best Running Dog Breed?

    We have a 2 yr. old Boxer and he loves to run! I am training for a 1/2 marathon now and I take him for about an 1/14 hrs. on the canal bank. Boxers are playful clowns and mine loves the water, so I choose the canal so her can run/swim to stay cool in this Central Ca. heat. Between me and my DH...

    Who does Bikram (hot) yoga?

    I bought the CD of Bikram himself teaching a yoga class, copied all 26 poses from my Bikram book, rolled out a carpet in my garage, and practice in there and saved $$ for the summer. Since my daughter is home this summer and we both have practiced a couple of years now it was a no-brainer! I...

    Hallelujah Acres...Raw food course?

    Thanks Cindy for the link! I have not heard of Jenny Cornbleet, but I have heard and seen Alissa Cohen on t.v.. The vitamin D thing is a puzzle to me. Apparently very difficult to get vit. D with a plant based diet without a supplement. I am on a VERY high dose now. Now, I am looking for plant...

    Hallelujah Acres...Raw food course?

    Raw Foodies :)

    Hi there, Kathryn! On the topic of going Raw in general, I have a couple of questions. First, why do raw vegans leave out beans? What is that all about? Also, I suffer from constipation...uh, and I have a Green Smoothie every day (about 32-40 ounces worth..). What could I add to them that would...
