Green tea – some key information.

Last year I wrote a post about a local Sushi and Yum Cha restaurant. This restaurant, Sushi 4 U, was where I developed a taste for green tea some years ago. In fact, I liked it so much that I went to the grocery store to get my own.
There was just one problem….green tea can [...]

I didn’t know that going to the dentist could be so good.

Recently I have started attending a new dental practice, having attended at least four times last year.
I have been most impressed with the service and treatment I have received from Dr Karla Scutt and her helpful staff at Breeze Dental.
In fact, my experiences at Breeze Dental have been the best ever, by a considerable margin. [...]

Fitness and weight loss tips and update on personal progress.

I got a nasty shock this morning when I weighed myself.
I am 97.5 kg, or 214.5 pounds.
With a BMI of 29.6 I am bordering on the obese; though I don’t look it.

Until Recently, No One INSPIRED Me About Physical Fitness.

Regular readers of my blog (old blogs) will know that I am using the Strip That Fat system to help me lose weight and live more healthily.
In fairness to the publishers of the Strip That Fat system I won’t go into lots of detail here. Suffice to say that the issue of exercise, and the [...]

Olive Leaf Extract & why you need to check it out today.

I have had a long-standing interest in good quality food, a proper diet and effective health maintenance. It is not however an area in which I have a great deal of expertise and as a result I have relied on other experts to provide me with the information I need. When evaluating health issues, as [...]

Weight loss and my personal journey (results).

I am currently overweight. Yes, a fatty, fatso etc, though as I carry it well I don’t look it. My wife still finds me sexy (phew!).
I am making good progress with losing weight – since late August I have lost over 4 kilos, despite being hindered by antihistamines (which slow metabolism and increase appetite).
My progress [...]

Is it safe to visit a physician (GP)?

Are you really safe when you visit your doctor – physician – general practitioner – specialist?
Have a read of this email I sent to a surgeon friend (Ophthalmologist - eye surgeon)…
Hello Roger,
Your dedication to your profession and patients is not only inspiring, but reassuring, helping to restore some faith in the Australian medical profession and health [...]

Sleep – health, productivity and personal development.

Previously, I have published an article about how: Sleep is important for personal development.
Sleep is important for general health too. I have known this for a long time and one of the things that alerted me to it was a study I read years ago – possibly as long ago as 15-20 years or more [...]

What is your main capital?

What would you say is your main capital?
Many would say their house/dwelling, others their vehicle/boat, still others their investments or savings.
Are you sure?
Here is what Ernest Hemingway, the author, had to say:
“I still need more healthy rest in order to work at my best. My health is the main capital I have and I want [...]

Guilt free sausages – living better & healthier

Is there such a thing as guilt free sausages?
Yes I guess there is, if you are perhaps a beefcake type person with lots of muscles, high energy needs and no concerns about putting on weight.
I’m no beefcake and am actually actively losing weight at the moment.
In spite of this, I have found a way of [...]

Cure for Mondays

Personally, I love Mondays. But then I am a bit unusual.
One of my ‘golden rules’ for living is to try as much as possible to conform to the laws of nature/physics/biology/psychology/Spirit and natural flow. Even if I may not initially like the idea, or think I know better.
Many of us struggle with Mondays. There can [...]

Pets & Life Balance

Over the years I have come across lots of research and articles about pets and their connection with health and well-being. In some cases, pets are even taken into old peoples’ homes for therapeutic purposes.
Today I discovered an article which claims:
A UQ researcher has found that billions can be saved on health spending annually in [...]

Beyond Medicine: Exploring a New Way of Thinking

Beyond Medicine: Exploring A New Way Of Thinking by Dr. Richard A. DiCenso, is an interpretive study of the mind, and the effectiveness of   psychological and neurological order over drugs and surgery.

Why we need to think carefully and critically about stuff, including health claims

I like Professor Lesley Regan’s approach. I think I saw one of her shows on TV in the last 6 months or so too.
She debunks a lot of the crap, marketing crap, that’s out there.
Have a read of this article:
The TRUTH about all those dodgy health claims, by one of Britain’s top researchers
Besides all the [...]

Help yourself with the Swine Flu situation

Note: This is not medical advice. I am not a medical doctor. These are just my thoughts, which some may find helpful.
Swine Flu has symptoms similar to conventional flu.
So far, it seems that the people who died (Mexico) had a more severe bout of Swine Flu than those in the USA or New Zealand for [...]

Swine Flu news is of course now becoming prevalent. Yesterday I posted a key information resource.
Today I am posting an interesting resource which includes some ‘alternative’ views about the Swine Flu situation. This website is one which I do respect.
Swine Flu article search on Natural News.
Some topical articles can also (currently) be viewed on the [...]

Save a life for $3

Years ago I learnt First Aid during Army training.
Decades later, the only bits I could recall easily were about Russian gas attacks and related First Aid procedures. I expect this is due in part to the subject being highly emotive.
But CPR? I would have struggled to recall it; yet CPR skills are much more likely [...]

Tests show drinking water is a smart move

For some years now I have been drinking plenty of filtered tap water.
It all started when, in 1997, I read this book:
Your Body’s Many Cries for Water
In addition, a general greater awareness of healthy eating and drinking, along with increasing spirituality, have contributed to my preference for drinking water.
Drinking filtered water has various obvious benefits, [...]

37% chance of being exposed to Staph if swimming in sub tropics.

Being of British origin I read some of the British online news sites. I often come across items of interest that never make it to the Australian news services.
I have no idea if the Australian press have picked up this article about the risks of picking up the deadly MRSA at the beach, however it [...]
