Cloned Meat for Dinner?
2008-01-16 22:01:11
Yesterday, the news reported that the government is on the verge of allowing meat and milk from cloned pigs and cows to be sold for food. After years of study, the FDA determined that it’s safe, insisting that products from cloned animals are no different than those of naturally bred animals. Watchdog groups and scientists are not so sure, however, stating that defects can and do occur during the cloning process, and more investigation is needed before these products are released for mass consumption.

Juice Your Way to Good Health
2008-01-11 20:59:31
It’s a well known fact that most of us need to eat more fruits and vegetables daily, and despite that knowledge, we still don’t do it. Some of us will eat a salad once in a while or eat a piece of fruit each day. Take me for example. I like fruit, so that’s no problem most of the time. In all honesty, I’m not a salad person and most of the time when I eat vegetables, they’re cooked. I know I need raw vegetables but I usually don’t “feel” like eating them. So I juice them. Not only is it a super healthy drink, juicing also allows me to get in more than I would if I were eating vegetables. I’ll drink a full glass of carrot juice no problem, but I’m not likely to sit and eat 5 big,

Dealing with Injuries

Injuries
are very real obstacles for fitness enthusiasts and athletes. Most of the time, we can prevent them by warming up before exercise, executing proper form during our workouts, and cooling down afterwards.

It stands for rest, ice, compression, and elevation. Too often, people implement the RICE technique, and do nothing further. A doctor needs to be consulted in order to determine the extent of the injury.

It is constantly breaking down and rebuilding itself. As we age, our bone breaks down more than it rebuilds, and this leads to decreased bone density. Decreased bone density can lead to osteoporosis and fract

My Review of the Fuel Fe44 Elliptical
2008-06-04 18:38:26
I recently purchased a new elliptical for home use, and I figured I’d review it in case anyone else is in the market as well. Although I didn’t want the commercial equipment price tag, I was concerned at first about getting cardio equipment that was designed for home use because of what I call the “cheese factor” – meaning some machines feel cheesy,

Sometimes it’s hard to reach our goals. Oh, it’s easy to start. It’s even manageable to keep it up for a few days, or even weeks, but when the hard stuff hits, we are thrown off track. And when we mess up, we figure we’ve ruined everything, so we stop. Sometimes the hard part is continuing. We don’t fail because we don’t
