There are times when I really HATE to accept reality. Although there are probably times when we all feel that way aren’t there?

Fighting Obesity today
There are times when I really HATE to accept reality. Although there are probably times when we all feel that way aren’t there? After finishing my last article, I did more research on the obesity epidemic, particularly in young children; on UPF’s and the consequences of the 80%/20% dietary regime followed by so many people…
Fighting Alzheimers and Dementia
It is distressing to admit that most of us know someone, or the family member of somene we know, who is suffering from Alzheimers. I know at least two people, possibly a third also in this category, and of two people who had the disease but have since died. Partly because of this, but also…

Wonder Spice
Ancient and Modern? These day I tend to be a bit sceptical. During a conversation at the beginning of my gym membership about my health issues, my instructor mentioned the spice. She said that her husband had used it for his bad knee for over 15 years. My first, private thought was , ‘yeah right!’…

Initially online, but I will also be popping into the local garden stores to pick their brains as well. With my recent unexpected health issues, (not…
Hydroponic thoughts and applications
I have always loved gardening, but until a few short years ago, due to marriage, children, family life and full-time work among other things, it was mainly confined to pot plants and the odd tomato or pepper plants. How many of us have done this? Wish I’d tried potatoes in a plastic bag or as…

Hydroponic Gardening
Watched a TV program the other day about the prospects for space tourism. Need to be pretty darn wealthy, and young, to enjoy one of those trips, I thought. Then about half way through the program what should pop up, but a segment on the need to eat while staying at a sky hotel circling the earth, or off…
