Really disheartening and scary to read this after years of thinking drinks in glass bottles would be much safer than plastic, although that’s apparently a misconception. But at least the truth is starting to be realized and now we can be better informed as far as making healthier choices…. by Daniel Gala, Sun, June 29, 2025 Scientists make surprising discovery about drinks stored in glass…

Well, it’s that time of year, literally and figuratively, for the next round of the forward and backward “dance of the clocks.” Personally, I’d love for the US to get to the point where we just stay put, preferably with Standard Time, since everything I’ve read indicates that’s the one easier on our bodies and more beneficial to our health. And according to this article, there is an increasing…

A couple of months ago I was placing an order at Martie.com, which is known for having a changing variety of things with greatly reduced prices. This time organic dried mulberries were one of the current great deals, and since I’ve always wondered what mulberries were like, I decided to find out. They looked kinda strange when I opened the package, I think because they were dried, but it ends up…

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted here, but I hope to at least start doing it a little more often in the future 🙂 PICKS FOR TODAY: #1 – Great image and text….

Who didn’t grow up with a box of Arm & Hammer (or some generic brand) baking soda in the kitchen, especially in the refrigerator to off-set odors?! I know I did, but I had no idea that what was in this inexpensive little box had so many other uses and benefits. Wow, who isn’t impressed with something that costs under $1, yet can be used not only in baking and cleaning, but also help with colds…

I just discovered this video routine recently when I was watching something else on YouTube. Seems like a good DIY resource to know about, so I wanted to share it here. I’ve only been doing the sequence for about a week and actually missed a few days, but I think one of the swollen lymph nodes under my jaw has gone down a little. Give it a try and let me know what happens; there are some…

Well, unfortunately, at least in my opinion, it’s time to throw our bodies out of whack once again by going through the semi-annual change of springing forward or falling back. I’ve done a number of posts on this topic and will include links to some of them below. But first I want to include an article about where things stand as far as doing away with the back and forth and just sticking with…

Just found out from Erin Elizabeth about this health-related series put together by detox expert Wendy Myers. There are so many series and summits these days that I’m about “summit-ed out,” if you know what I mean. But the world around us is, unfortunately, more full of toxins and pollution than ever, so I think it’s super important we all have a variety of ways to help our bodies stay as…

Bentonite clay is such a great DIY health aid….in fact, I’m using it right now to help with some internal cleansing and detoxing I’m doing. But interestingly enough, I’ve never thought about using it for losing weight and I figured most other people haven’t either. I know that resolving to lose some pounds is usually one of the most common New Year’s resolutions or goals people have. So when I…

My year-end wish for everyone and some awe-inspiring scenes as we head into 2024 … # 1 – “May this year end on a high note for you & pave the way for limitless possibilities in the new year!” # 2 – # 3 – # 4 – # 5 – See you in the new year!

This kind of exercise is a surprising blood pressure-lowering solution… Exercise is a personal experience, with various incentives prompting people to engage in physical activity. Whether you want to live longer, improve your mood, or manage chronic health concerns, matching your exercise regimen with your goals is critical. However, according to a recent fitness revelation, an unexpected rival…

Over the years I have done several posts about the time change…springing forward, falling back, and the pluses and minuses of each. I thought I would create this quick post as a “one stop shopping” page for people to be able to easily find all the information in one place. Meant to get it done a few days ago, but you know how that goes. I needed the extra hour we got today back then. HA! Which…

1 – Amen, Eleanor… 2 – A beautiful poem by Rabbi Irwin Keller of congregation Ner Shalom…. TAKING SIDES Today I am taking sides. I am taking the side of Peace. Peace, which I will not abandon even when its voice is drowned out by hurt and hatred, bitterness of loss, cries of right and wrong. I am taking the side of Peace whose name has barely been spoken in this winnerless war. I…

I saw the information included below posted on Facebook recently by Steve Ortner. And even though it’s not strictly about health, WD-40 is more natural/eco-friendly than many cleaning products and it’s uses are definitely self-help/DIY-related. So I wanted to share it here, because I think the list of tips will be useful to many of you; plus, this way I’ll always know where to find it myself for…
