I have a cheapo-juicer and would like to get a better one. I think it depends on how much you want to juice. I use mine almost every day and I like it because I can control what goes into the mix. I do not like to have a large amount of fruit juice - I usually only use 1 apple and one lemon...

When I turned 40 I had a mid-life crisis. I don't recommend that option;) I did, however, end up with some great piercings!

My husband had a "no-scalpel" vasectomy and believe me, it appeared to be a lot less discomfort than my two labour and deliveries! He was in and out of the doctor's office before I had a chance to finish the article I was reading in the waiting room and there were no stitches, just some glue...

I have a recurring wart on my forehead. I just go and get it frozen off by my doctor whenever it decides to pop up. I don't find the freezing process very painful, but perhaps that is just because of the location. I would however, like to know why it keeps coming back! It can be gone for a...

12 - I eat mostly vegan and have been having issues with enlarged red blood cells B6 - seratonin production (I have had bouts of depression and sleep issues) 5-HTP - depression/sleep issues D - live in a northern climate and use sunscreen biotin - had a episode of hair loss last...

Thanks for asking this question! I have been saving my newspapers, but I was wondering if I can use the ones with coloured print or if I have to stick with only black print - does anyone know? I have never grown a veggie garden and I am eager to get growing. We bought a house with a huge...

I wish I could help you, but I am in a similar boat. I fall asleep easily, however I am awake almost every hour. And to make matters worse I wake up hungry so I head to the kitchen for a snack! I have tried increasing my calories during the day, loading them in the morning, loading them at...

Thank YOU! It is people like you that keep me coming to this forum for inspiration. My attitude has been sucking lately. You just reminded me that I need to "turn down the suck and turn up the give 'er!" (a quote from my husband lol!) Thanks again!

I love that attitude! My mother was diagnosed with lung cancer 5 years ago. It had already spread to her brain. She had a brain tumour removed, half a lung taken out and radiation. After a year they found tumours in her liver and she had chemo. I believe the only reason she is still alive...

Hi Karie You don't need to worry about making a complete protein in a meal. As long as you eat a variety of vegetables, fruits, whole grains and nuts throughout the day you will get the protein your body needs. Some good books to read if you are interested in a vegetarian/vegan diet...

I knew I was getting older when I looked in the mirror and realized I had to make sure my nipples lined up. :D

Have you suddenly increased your vegetable intake? Is there a specific vegetable that is giving you problems? I think we would need to have more details of your daily food intake. You cannot completely eliminate vegetables - they should make up the bulk of your diet. There is NO substitute...

"I keep hearing how good Chia seeds are for you but whenever I try I am doubling over in pain so I don't do it. We are pretty much made up of the same thing, but everyone has different chemistry so we need to pay close attention to how our bodies respond to what we do. :)" LOL - I love...

Dr. Joel Fuhrman discusses this topic in his book "Eat to Live" and explains that our concern is not in how much calcium we consume, but in how much we absorb vs excrete. There are many dietary factors that induce calcium loss in the urine: animal protein salt caffeine refined sugar...

I make a chowder that uses rice for the creaminess. I think it's about 1/3 cup of rice in 2 cups of broth plus 1 cup of water and 1/2 cup chopped onion. You cook the rice until it is super soft, cool it and blend it. This is then added back into the soup. I actually like this better than any...

LOL! I loved it :) Thanks for making me smile.

What an accomplishment! I DREAM of doing ONE pull-up :) It is stories like yours that keep me lurking on this forum and remind me that I CAN push myself harder. Now I need to add more equipment to my exercise room.... Thank you for sharing!

My favourites are Eat to Live by Dr. Joel Fuhrman and The Thrive Diet by Brendan Brazier.

Hi! I'm no expert, but I think that you should probably talk to your doctor and see if it is okay to continue working out before you do anything. If you get medical clearance and you really would like to continue with a cardio and strength training program during your pregnancy (which are...

It probably was high - I was talking to some of the people at our local pet store and they mentioned that that particular vet was know for "being a rip off". I was also not impressed that he did not even bother to see us in person - we were told to drop our kitty off and then the vet phoned to...
