It hurts." And I know better than anyone there's truth in the excuse. Here's how it works...

Dew knowing if I did there would be punishment. I try not to think what it's like at holiday season to have to resist and restrain from all the goodies that fill shops, stores, and homes of friends and family. I try not to think but I do.

With everything we put into our bodies and then with what comes out maybe it wouldn't be such a bad idea. What I found out is that many of us are probably close to doing some sort of a detoxification without even knowing it.

There is nothing like the Toffifay chocolate I used to eat in Canada all the time as a younger man. Or even a kitkat once in a while. Hmmmm. Well, needless to say, whenever I find a pro-chocolate article, I like to read it to make me feel better about my chocolate "problem". Well, in June's issue of Nutrition, researchers figured out another potential benefit of chocolate...

I mentioned that I use a product known as Kaprex. Now, since I started using this supplement, my surgically repaired knee started feeling better. But I started a couple of other things around the same time and I wasn't sure at first if it was the Kaprex that was helping me. This is how I found out...

I do this for two reasons: 1) to get in better shape, and 2) more importantly, to rehabilitate my surgically reconstructed knee. I have stopped going to the gym, just because of the boredom factor.

A neighbor of mine had a stroke a few months ago and is totally paralyzed on the right side...can't speak or move. Very sad. Each year more than 700,000 Americans have a stroke, with about 160,000 dying from stroke-related causes. I figured everyone could benefit from some help in detemining if someone close to them is having a stroke.
