How Can We Put More Heal In Health?

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

When it comes to plant-based foods, think black. Black foods are especially healthy. Black rice is high in anthocyanin, which fights cardiovascular disease. Black beans are rich in terpenoids, which stop the growth of certain cancers. Black tea is rich in flavonoids, which protect against neurological disease; and blackberries are rich in polyphenols, which help prevent diseases related to chronic inflammation. Then there's the pigment that makes these foods black. It provides antioxidants that also protect our health - and give new meaning to black power.

Was The Hula Hoop An Original Idea?

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

Aren't there anymore original ideas? Now "The Simpsons" is a movie. Soon Hollywood will be making "Oceans 21" and Spiderman will be using a walker. One "CSI" turned into three. One reality show turned into an unreal number of them. A picture may be worth a thousand words, but on television the words are repeated.

Do You Get What You Pay For?

Monday, February 8th, 2010

Although getting what you pay for is a truism that's withstood time, we keep trying to get more than we pay for. We buy on sale, at discount and in bulk. We use coupons and accumulate frequent flyer miles. Nevertheless, profit margins are rarely marginal. Even going out of business sales make money. When my sons were growing up, I thought they'd put all-you-can-eat buffets out of business; but they never bit off more than the restaurant owners could chew.

Are They Being Nosey?

Friday, November 20th, 2009

"The check's in the mail". "No, you don't look fat in that". "You don't look that old". These are familiar exaggerations, white lies or what my grandmother called Pinocchio noses.

My Secret Life as a Sheep Farmer or Never Say Never

Thursday, September 24th, 2009

It all started on a trip to Quintana Roo to do a feasibility study for an eco-tourism project in the Sian Ka'an biological reserve. Part of the project's challenge was that all food and palapa building materials had to be brought in as nothing could be cut or grown within the reserve. In other words, to make the project work, all food and building materials had to be sourced outside the reserve. No small chore.

To Join Or Not To Join?

Thursday, July 30th, 2009

Joiner? I didn't think I was a joiner. I wasn't a Brownie and I left the Girl Scouts before I had to earn a camping badge. I don't camp - unless you call surviving power outages camping.

Crank Out Killer Comedy in No Time Flat

Thursday, July 30th, 2009

If you happen to read or watch good killer comedy books, theatre shows, skits, or films, then you know that there's nothing more relieving and medicating than having pure good laughs. Yes, it is given that a comedy should be hilarious, but if you think that making killer comedy stories is simple, you are wrong!

Are You In Step With Your Feet?

Monday, July 27th, 2009

I admit it. I've taken my feet for granted. I've forced them into shoes because the shoes looked good - not because they felt good. After years of this abuse I'm feeling "defeeted".

Would You Rather Have A Boyfriend Or A Dog?

Monday, July 27th, 2009

If you could only have one, which would it be - a boyfriend or a dog? When you think about it, they have several things in common.

Am I The Only One?

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

Maybe it's because I'm a blond, but why would drivers go to a gas station that charges four cents more for a gallon of gasoline instead of going to the station across the street?
