Your Best Health and Wellness Online

I just ran across this link to 12 natural remedies online and I thought I would share it. Not sure how many people are aware of some of these and I know they do not work for everyone.  Still I always liked trying to hit the problem at the root cause rather than just the symptom and sometimes these cures help a lot.

My personal favorite is tea for sore throats. I have a few herbal teas I take and they really do soothe and help me get through.

Do you have any that help you? Share them with everyone below.

I was working on my High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) article and research when I came across this wonderful article on Digg which shows that American fast food is mostly corn.

Pretty scary indeed. Now I have nothing against good proper corn, specially when it is organically grown, but I also believe that everything should be eaten in moderation.  This is a case where not a lot of moderation is happening.  Already a good portion of our processed diet consists of corn via HFCS in one form or another, but the prevalence of corn in our diet is amazing.

To me our body was made to take in many kinds of food and be the most efficient when its in balance. This is a case where there is no balance. Whether it is corn or soybeans or sugar are any of the other major food products that seem to find their way into our mainstream food, too much of it is bad. Even the silly commercials from the Corn Industry that try to convince us that HFCS is ‘all natural’ and OK to eat state it by saying ‘in moderation.’ Please where is the moderation in this?

What do you think?

Since it has come up from a few of my friends that have visited this humble blog I thought I would say a few things about me, the main contributor to this site. I was your normal American male eating a normal American diet full of soda and processed foods for much of my life. I am basically working 60+ hours a week and am as active as any normal male, but that changed about two years ago.

I started to work more and more and my activity dropped. Further my ‘normal’ diet of processed and fast foods started to catch up with me fast. Unhealthy, fatigued, over worked, stressed out and 207 pounds I felt I needed a change.  My wife also wanted to make many changes in our life and together we researched what we could do.
