Get Your “Green Smoothie” On – A Delicious Way to Drink Your Veggies

My favorite smoothie is “green” – super simple. Just add frozen banana, spinach, and protein powder to a blender. Toss in a little ice and push GO!
But your smoothie can be any color of the rainbow. So get creative.

Does taking supplements help IVF patients ?
Practically all women doing IVF are taking supplements of one sort or
another ! These are supposed to improve egg yield, egg quality and
embryo implantation , thus helping to improve IVF pregnancy rates. I
have come across women who take over 10 different supplements daily –
and I wonder how they manage to swallow so many different tablets,
syrups and capsules in a day ! On second thoughts thought, it is not
surprising , because the craving for a baby can make a woman move heaven
and earth; which means taking umpteen supplements is not such a
difficult task to accomplish. I have heard the following qu...

My beef with infomercials
Over the holidays I watched television or listened to the radio at odd times. And lately I’ve run into a run of infomercials. I’ve tried to watch with a critical eye. I’ve given up on the ones with the rows of smiling, buff, dancing exercise enthusiasts. I know our increasingly obese American population likes watching the tight bodies but makes no effort – with new gizmos of not – to exercise themselves. It’s just eye candy and another way to blow money on a New Year’s resolution almost no one follows for very long.
But beyond the 30-minute exercise-equipment commercials are the more medical ones. Jane Seymo...
