| Growing Foods From Scraps |
| 2008-08-20 07:46:00 |
Maybe now is not the time to be talking about this, because we are still into the summer growing season and so much can be grown outdoors. BUT, as I was driving my daughter to field hockey practice this morning I was thinking about our garden. I just love this time of the year!Go outside and pluck some fresh grape tomatoes, or pick a large beefy one for a sandwich, along the way, pick a few cucumbers, hot peppers, and fresh basil for a yummy tomato salad. Nothing could be fresher or healthier than this!Then my mind fast forwards to mid September, early October, depending on the weather conditions. The fresh produce begins to slow down and the juicy, succulent red tomato is just a lingering memory. If we are lucky, we can find a handful of hardy ones that will make it up through the end of ...

| 2008-05-29 07:20:00 |
Unless you live in a plastic bubble somewhere, you are aware of potential damage and hazards associated with both pesticide and herbicide usage. Even when we are aware of possible problems, sometimes we don't act upon the information we are given, for a variety of different reasons.Below is a simple and easy list of some of the steps you can take if you are considering making the shift to a more organic approach to lawn care. As with anything, this is a process and not something that can be done overnight, but with a commitment to taking a healthier approach, healthier results can be achieved over time. 1.

| Five Ways to Lose More Weight with Walking Workouts |
| 2008-05-27 06:57:00 |
Article By: Debbie Rocker SourceCROSS TRAIN“Cross train” by varying your walking workout. I’ve been seeing it for over a decade — people tell me they’ll walk the same six-mile route every day. Usually you can cut your workout time in half and get the same results, simply by changing up the way you walk!. If you always do the same things, your body knows exactly what to expect and it goes into conserve mode. It’s part of maintaining stasis. And your mind goes to that same place — the workout gets boring, and you don’t keep walking at a vigorous pace. It loses what I call the “training effect.”If you can swim and cycle and walk, that’s fantastic. But walking is something you can take with you anywhere and do throughout your lifetime. Y...

| Foods to Help Fight Arthritic Pain |
| 2008-05-23 12:16:00 |
The idea that food can cause or relieve arthritis isn't new. More than 200 years ago, English doctors prescribed cod-liver oil to treat gout and rheumatism. More recently, some health writers have insisted that arthritics should eat or not eat specific foods. The debate is in full swing. Do certain foods cause arthritis? Is there an "Arthritis Begone" diet? All the evidence isn't yet in, but thanks to the studies currently available, more and more physicians are convinced that diet plays a valuable role in arthritis treatment plans. Foods for Arthritis ReliefWhich fruits, vegetables, meat, or fish should you eat? There are no absolute rules, but the results of studies and case histories suggest that these foods may be helpful:Anchovies: Three-and-a-half ounces of anchovies contain almost a...

| Benefits of Using Raw Butter |
| 2008-05-16 04:40:00 |
Butter has gotten a bad rap over the past decades, mostly due to commerical interest rather than health interests. Butter is a rich source of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. The saturated fat in butter actually enhances our immune function, protects the liver from toxins, provides nourishment for the heart in times of stress, gives stiffness and integrity to our cell membranes, and aids in the proper utilization of omega-3 essential fatty acids. Butter will add extra nutrients and flavor to your vegetables, whole grain breads, and sautéed dishes.Butter is a completely natural food essential to your health - especially when you eat organic. Also, please make the extra effort to obtain high-quality organic, raw butter.Margarines, on the other hand, are...

| Risks of Home Pesticide Use |
| 2008-04-09 07:43:00 |
We all have heard about the damage the use of pesticides can do to the environment and living organisms. Some of us will try to steer as far away from any pesticide use as possible, while others may not consider the risk that great, with the trade off for lush lawns and gardens the desired result. If you are not quite sure where you stand on this issue, here are some interesting facts that may help you formulate a more educated decision. Homeowners use up to 10 times more chemical pesticides per acre on their lawns than farmers use on crops.”4 — U.S. Fish and Wildlife ServiceIncreased odds of childhood leukemia, brain cancer and soft tissue sarcoma have been associated with children living in households where pesticides are used.96 percent of all fi...

Ever wonder about how fluoride got its start in the dental and water business? If you have been hearing about some of the controversy revolving around the use of fluoride, here is just a little bit of history I found that contains some interesting information.1909Colorado Springs dentist Frederic K. McKay asks the US dental community to help him find an explanation for the "Colorado brown stain," a discoloring of teeth common to the Pikes Peak area. Though residents' teeth are mottled, they have fewer cavities than is typical.1927A dentist in Bauxite, AR, reports extensive staining of residents' teeth. The town gets its water from a deep well near the site of an aluminum mine; fluoride is a waste by-product of aluminum mining. 1937Danish fluoride researcher Kaj E. Roholm, MD, Copenhagen's ...

When we look for answers and information, it is a process-- meaning it does require research. I personally do not believe their is one correct way, one magic bullet, one therapy or supplement that provides all the answers for everyone. We are each, unique individuals, with a unique make-up of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual qualities that create who we are. I suggest you look deeply for your own truth, finding what resonates with you, then begin your work. Whether it is to simply find a relaxation method, discover inner peace, or seek a cure or a healing from a physical challenge...the journey when viewed as an adventure with many possibilities and opportunities for learning and discovery, makes for more successful travelling.We each need to take responsibility for our own healin...

| Slow Burning Compost |
| 2008-04-04 19:15:00 |
STEPS TO BUILDING SLOW BURNING COMPOST PILEOne very easy thing you can do to reduce your impact on the planet, and bolster your gardening efforts, is to compost. Compost makes rich fertilizer and mulch out of yard waste, food scraps, tree trimmings, old lumber and even certain types of paper. Pick a Good Location: In hot, dry climates, it should be a shady, cooler location. In cold or wet climates, it should be a well-ventilated location.Break Up the Ground a Bit:You don't have to dig the location, but aerate the top layer of soil and completely remove weeds. If this is your first pile in the area, you may wish to add some worms: Red worms are best, but nightcrawlers will do.Start with a Layer of Small Sticks or Brush:The idea is to trap some air pockets at the bottom.Build Your Pile in La...

DON'T THROW THE GROUNDS AWAY PART IIEvery day across America, Asia and Europe, millions of pots of coffee and tea are brewed, and the millions of pounds of wet grounds, filters and bags thrown in the trash. This is both wasteful and foolish.Coffee by-products can be used in the garden and farm as follows: 1. Sprinkle used grounds around plants before rain or watering, for a slow-release nitrogen. 2. Add to compost piles to increase nitrogen balance. Coffee filters and tea bags break down rapidly during composting. 3. Dilute with water for a gentle, fast-acting liquid fertilizer. Use about a half-pound can of wet grounds in a five-gallon bucket of water; let sit outdoors to achieve ambient temperature. 4. Mix into soil for houseplants or new vegetable beds....

Soaking the seeds overnight and covering newly seeded beds with clear plastic help speed germination of direct-sown seeds.If you start the plants indoors, make sure the plants' growth hasn't been hindered and that the transplants go into the ground when quite small, and take are not to disturb the roots during the planting process.Most of the herbs can be sown outdoors six to eight weeks before the last frost.Note: If you have poor soil, applying aged manure or granulated organic fertilizer to the soil during the seedling stage helps get plants off to a healthy start.PARSLEYTwo different forms include the familiar cu...

WATER "FACTS"75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated.In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as much as 3%. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of dieters studied in a U-Washington study. Lack of water is the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page.
