Yet in other parts of the world, developed and not, they've known its multitude of health benefits for centuries and many, as in France and Italy, have perfected products made from goat-milk, elevating its flavor and texture to that of a delicacy.

Why we age

There is much confusion regarding anti-aging and anti-death, which is actually extending life but not necessarily the quality of it.

Baby-Boomers Re-invent Grand-parenting: The Youngest Older Generation Ever!

 

Being Thankful...for our grandchildren, that is!

When people hear I’m a grandparent of three they comment “you can’t possibly be” – but a proud grandparent I am. Likewise, are the over 75 million baby-boomers who are entering this amazingly rewarding right of passage and redefining their image about how a grandparent looks, acts, and thinks. Photo left is of my two handsome grandsons, Christian and Kaden, on Christian's first day of school 2009. Click to continue reading...

Highly toxic, disease-promoting ingredients that are LEGAL in our food supply
 
Did you know that we intake over 150 chemicals, carcinogens and toxins each day? Chemicals invade every aspect of our modern lifestyles from well-known toxins to newer compounds with unknown long-term effects. They build in our bodies and store within the soft and connective tissues, fat cells [see graphic to the left], and organs of detoxification; specifically the kidneys, liver, and lymphatic system.

As if that wasn’t enough, I also developed fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue and chronic insomnia. Click to continue reading....
