I have seen this post around on the internet and I thought what an interesting topic. I think that most of us like to think of ourselves living a long and prosperous life, but as msnbc health lists there may be some signs that suggest an advantage. Continue Reading
This economy is tough. I think that everyone has been hit in some way. This kind of financial uncertainty makes daily life stressful- money and financial security play a very active role of life. When we feel threatened it becomes even more stressful.
I found some great sites that I feel everyone should be aware of. Most ideas that you are going to read or hear are not new ideas, but someones just hearing them again can help us making smarter and wiser decisions about money.
1. Extended Warranties
Generally, they’re not worth the money. (The only thing I now have a warranty on is my laptop computer, and that’s because I practically beat it to death.) If a new gadget or appliance is going to fail, research tells us it will do so during the manufacturer’s warranty period or long after the extended warranty has expired. That makes extended warranties, which can cost anywhere from $5 to hundreds of dollars, a big profit center for retailers and a pretty useless expense for consumers.
Get Smart: If you’re worried about a breakdown, take the money you’d spend on a warranty and stash it into a special savings account. If your item fails, you’ll have the money to repair it. If not (which is more likely), in three or five years when everything’s gone well, you’ll have stashed away a nice little nest egg.
2. Gym Fees
The sales pitch is compelling and the promise of better health is hard to deny. But getting roped into a legal obligation to pay a big monthly fee for the next two or three years—whether you use the gym or not—makes no sense.

Karina's Kitchen Gluten Free
I have been using a great gluten free cooking site for a year or so called Karina’s Kitchen. She has put together a great site with awesome recipes for those who are sensitive and allergic to wheat and gluten. She also has many recipes that she substitute dairy products for other alternatives. So, if you suffer from dairy issues it is a great site as well. With many people who are learning the positives about eating wheat and gluten free you have found the site site to learn from.
Here are some links to get you started:

With the fall season upon us we all await the dreaded cold and flu that comes with the cooler weather. Now, is a good time to stock up on some great products to help us avoid and shorten our cold and flu season.
I read a article, Preparing For The Cold Season By Anne McIntrye FNIMH. She talks about what you can use to support your immune system as well as what to have on handle if you come down with a cold.
Bearing this in mind the first steps to enhance immunity are to improve digestion and assimilation and to detoxify the system. Spices such as ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, coriander, clove, black pepper and asafoetida are some of the best remedies for the digestion and for raising immunity and these can be taken as part of your diet and as tasty hot teas. Take ginger. Its pungency warms and strengthens the digestion, stimulates the flow of digestive juices and invigorates the whole system. The volatile oils are highly antiseptic, activating immunity and dispelling bacterial and viral infections. Similarly cinnamon is a perfect remedy for warding off the effects of the cold, invigorating the digestion and detoxifying the body.
She talks about many herbs such as the classic echinacea, licorice, astragalus, cinnamon, and ginger. Many of these have great success helping the body assimilate to fighting colds and other fall and winter illnesses.

Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF)
EMF are invisible lines of force surrounding any electrical wire or device. They consist of two components — the electric field, which is the result of voltage, and the magnetic field, which is the result of current flow.
