Health Benefits of Essential Oils
Last winter I started to experiment with essential oils for their health benefits, after reading a couple of interesting articles. I bought a diffuser, which works great and is really cool. I started off by getting 4 different oils and experimenting with them to aid with my chronic insomnia.
Insulin Manipulation
For most of us humans, it’s natural to label things as either good or bad, but sometimes this is a dangerous way of thinking. That is certainly the case with the hormone insulin.

Our various national health organizations in the U.S. have long supported low-fat dairy for kids over the age of two. For many years now, I have thought this was a terrible idea, as full fat dairy is much healthier for all humans, and it is now coming to light (finally!) that there is little scientific evidence for kids to go low-fat or skim dairy. This is based on a new analysis of twenty-nine (29) peer-reviewed studies on the role of dairy and childhood obesity.
