  • Warning! Lack Of Exercise Could Be Harmful To Your Health

    You know its bad when the Surgeon General issues a warning that lack of exercise is hazardous to your health. And that was back in 96. Since then, the stats havent improved much, either: 25% of the American population is still sedentary and 60% do not exercise regularly (Reference: http://www.cdc.gov).

    For fitness minded folks, we could do worse than to follow the hour-a-day prescription outlined by the Surgeon Generals Healthy People Report. Its just a guideline, of course and, as you already know, any amount of activity packed into your busy schedule is going to earn you heal ...

  • What on Earth is an Enzyme?

    Enzymes are the workers in our body that make everything function, by enabling chemical reactions. All living cells contain enzymes. They are hard to visualize, since they are not something tangible, but they are essential to our bodies and our lives depend on them.

    There are many kinds of enzymes, and they do everything from helping us breath to helping begin life at conception. Eighty percent of our DNA code relates to enzymes. But the kind of enzymes discussed here relate to our digestion and the food we eat.

    In the process of digestion, the digestive enzymes in our bodies br ...

  • The Scientific Breakthrough That Allows Every Couple To Choose The Gender Of Their Baby

    The advances in science over the past century have been breath-taking. Weve seen man stroll casually on the moon, watched in awe as scientists cloned and brought a sheep to life using nothing more than a few strands of microscopic DNA and we witnessed some stunning improvements in the fields of medicine and care for example, Viagra to some has been the discovery of a lifetime.

    Now, it seems, the latest scientifically backed research actually allows a couple to safely and naturally choose the gender of their baby with up to 98% accuracy. The implications of this research are huge an ...

    I've been walking around all day,Thinking.I think I have a problem,I think I think too much.I've been taught to hold back my tears,And avoid them.But you make pain into something I could touch.I've been walking around all day,Laughing.I think I'd be better off without you here.And I bet you're sweet and hard to get over.So I'll cry and people will stop and stare.Now that's okay. Let them stop and stare.Cause I am fragile.I am hopeless.I'm not perfect.But I am free.- Maria Mena

    Study Says Male Chromosome Sticking Around (AP)
    AP - The human Y chromosome — the DNA chunk that makes a man a man — has lost so many genes over evolutionary time that some scientists have suspected it might disappear in 10 million years. But a new study says it'll stick around.


     

     
     


  • Rooibos

    REGULAR ROOIBOS TEA VERSUS GREEN ROOIBOS TEA

    - ROOIBOS TEA has taken the world by storm. Both fermented and unfermented Rooibos tea are primarily sold as a health drink however, it is also used as a raw material in the cosmetic industry. Green Rooibos Tea is the unfermented version of Rooibos Tea and it has a lighter, fruitier taste than regular Rooibos tea. Rooibos tea lacks the astringent taste of normal tea and green tea.

    - The unfermented Rooibos emerged in response to recent interest in the health benefits linked to the antioxidants found in tea. Green Rooibos extract in pa ...

  • The DNA of Top Achievers

    Of course by now we are all becoming aware of DNA. It is the source code that determines who we are. When we look at DNA we can see what a person will look like, what diseases they may come down with, etc. This has been a tremendous breakthrough for scientists and will continue to be so for some time, I think.

    This got me to thinking about what makes up those who are top achievers. Is there a "DNA" to them? Obviously, all top achievers wouldn't have the same literal DNA but what about a figurative DNA? Is there a common "gene" that they all have? Are there common "genes" perhaps? I th ...

  • Enough is Enough
    The largest issue in our country today is not being addressed by either Republicans or by Democrats. I love my children and I want to do my part to ensure they grow up in the best country in the world. Voters need to become informed about the irresponsible government spending explosion and vote these politicians out of office.

    Our current politicians are not acting responsibly. When George W. Bush took office four years ago the federal government was over 5.6 trillion dollars in debt. Today the federal government is over 7.4 trillion dollars in debt. The debt has grown 1.8 trillion doll ...
