    Fitness Trackers

    Bobby and I both have Apple Watches, and wear them pretty much all the time, although Bobby does not wear his it bed for sleep tracking, and I usually do wear mine overnight.

    Learning about food combining.

    I found an old book, Food Combining Made Easy, written back around 1940, by Herbert Shelton, that talks about food combining and why it is important. I am still reading the book, just started actually, so I am just barely getting a grasp on the concept of food combining and why it is...

    Probiotic Foods and Drinks

    This thread is to discuss the importance of probiotic foods, such as sauerkraut or kimchi, and probiotic drinks, such as kombucha or water kefir, and other fermented probiotic drinks. I made kombucha for a while, and it is pretty simple to make, but does take up a lot of counter space. I had a...

    Kidney Health is Important !

    One if the things I discovered when I learned about my heart failure was that the heart problems also caused kidney problems, and I had kidney failure along with the heart failure. At one time, my kidney function on my GFR was down to about 34GFR, which is really low. Now, I take a powder...

    Yogurt and kefir

    I was not sure whether to put this in the health section, or in food. Even though both have terrific health benefits, we also eat them because we enjoy them as a food; but I decided to put the thread here. Anyway, both have good probiotics, especially when made at home, and if you have raw...

    Castor oil for wrinkles and those brown age spots.

    I have been reading that pure, cold-pressed castor oil is supposed to be very healing , and it is something that has been used for many years. It is interesting that one of the most dangerous poisons, Ricin, comes from the castor bean, and yet the oil is not only safe to use, but beneficial. I...

He said that they have prebiotics in them which help our gut to stay healthy, and that the lighter the coffee roast, the more polyphenols are in the coffee. Polyphenols in coffee and tea offer a range of impressive...

    DMSO for healing

    I have used DMSO for many years now, and it does as much to stop pain and anything else, except maybe heavy narcotics that just knock you out. It was first sold for horses, and i had to buy it at my local feed store for many years back in the 70’s. Now, you can just buy it on amazon, like...

    Low carb, Atkins, Keto, Carnivore WOE Discussion

    Many people now follow one of the above way of eating (WOE) plans, and this thread is to talk about which plan you follow, why you like it, and share things about each plan. Pretty much they are all low carb lifestyles, and the difference is which proteins you eat, and which carbs (if any) are...

    Cholesterol is important for brain health.

    Our body makes cholesterol, and it makes as much as we need; so being told not to eat foods with cholesterol does not make any difference. Even if you went completely Vegan, your body will still make cholesterol, and this is what your brain needs to function. It is no coincidence that an...
