  • Brainwashing Kids Into Unhealthy Diets With Catchy Tunes

      Mr. Cheeseburger

    Yesterday while browsing through YouTube for some quick workout videos, I came across a video that quickly reminded me of my childhood and possibly a reason why obesity runs rampant among children.  While watching the clip, I was glad my parents limited my fast food intake and always pushed me to go out and play sports. 

    That clown was brainwashing kids into believing McDonald's was fun and cool, so "let's play and eat there".  It had a catchy tune to keep kids entertained while feeding them all the high in fat, greasy food that came in kid's meals. Video is Here...

  • Non-FDA Approved Supplements Have Side Effects But Get the Job Done

    
 Mr. Fish



    For over a year now, I've been taking a weight-training supplement called N.O. Xplode.  I can definitely tell a difference when I work out; I have more energy and can lift heavier weights.  

    The problem is that most supplements, including N.O. Xplode have not been FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved, so there's a chance I'm hurting myself more in the long run.  Whenever I take it I have to work out because I have so much pent-up energy, and I can feel my blood pumping.

    There have been some side effects though.  Read More Here...

  • When Caffeine and Soda isn't Enough, Take Adderall?

    This is a guest blog submitted by The_Prestigiator

     


    Last semester, I fell into the "last-minute scholarly" ambition category, I was sleep-deprived for three straight days and somehow managed to tap out four 12-15-page papers, finish a chemistry exam, and ace a Latin test.  When my mom found me on the last day of school, I was a numb, rambling fool.

    Thankfully, I have altered my ways so that all-nighters never pile on top of one another.  However, I can't help but worry about my peers out there who are drowning in coursework. Exams, term papers, thesis’, and portfolios induce unnecessary panic attacks.  And in an effort to take a stab at a glittering grade, students trade in sleep for more time to complete their final projects.

    Unfortunately, many students do not rely on sheer willpower and crazy amounts of dark coffee (or copious amounts of Dr.Pepper in my case) to get the job done.  More Here...

  • Diet, Weight Loss and Thin is In but When Will Happiness Catch Up?

    Mr. Marshmallow


    I have been thin and I have been happy, but to quote the inimitable Harvey Fierstein, never the twain have met. At my thinnest, when I was wearing my sassy size 32 jeans, I was a hot little number. I would go clubbing for hours, several days a week, with my "hag" Jennie right there beside me.

    I made my way through Los Angeles then San Francisco, and became addicted to the attention my newly sculpted physique afforded me. I was thin and I was happy. At least that's what I told myself. Read More Here...

  • Healthy Living Tip: Adults Need to Laugh More


    This is a guest blog submitted by AmberBelen@xanga



    I placed an order today from Aromafloria.com for my boyfriend who works at a railroad contracting company all day and usually comes home feeling exhausted and sore.  I ordered their Muscle Soak kit help alleviate muscle soreness and fatigue. I'll make sure he tests them all out and will post his review on each one, so keep an eye out for that.

    In the meantime, Aromafloria provides monthly wellness tips on their site, and their wellness tip for November is The Power of Laughter.  I thought it was a good reminder for all of us to just take some time and laugh so I thought I'd post what it said: More Here...

  • Vitamins and Nutritional Supplements (Not Steroids) Help Lead A Healthy Life


    This is a guest blog submitted by Brooke

     

    My mom owned a health food store for several years and because of that, even as an adult, I've pretty much always taken vitamins. I mean I have a pillbox in my desk drawer here at work. I've been ridiculed by co-workers for being the drug dealer who always has a pill for every ailment. But it's not prescription pills - it's herbs.

    If you feel pretty crappy most days, consider starting a daily vitamin regimen. I promise you that you will notice a difference in about a week.

    So here are my recommendations for those starting out on the journey to homeopathic health. Take this list and go to your local health food store. Please do not go to Wal-Mart or the grocery store. They sell generic, synthetic supplements, you'd be better off eating doggie poo. More Here...
