Over a decade has passed since I crested the hill of age continuum and yet it just dawned on me last year at 53, I should be getting more roll out of my drives than I did before. Seriously I m no physicists but even I know that golf balls roll further down hill. And I m definitely over the Hill. Despite my convoluted theory, the evidence shows that I m hitting the golf ball shorter and shorter each year. Not only that but I m twice as pooped after each round. None of this seems fair...not when you consider the thousands of rounds played, hours practiced and dollars spent on golf equipment and golf lessons. All for what. Not since I fired my last financial advisor had I seen and ROI this bad. In a last ditch effort to salvage my dying personal golf corporation, last spring I made a rather large investment in a robotic massage chair. Passing through the mall after a particularly brutal round of golf I popped in to a novelty store in search of a gift for a nephew. Instead of a present for him I ended up taking a nap...

There is a wonderful anachronism for FEAR: False Evidence Appearing Real Much of the fear in our lives is based on false evidence. Our bodies are designed to respond with the fight or flight mechanism to real and present danger - such as being physically attacked. In the face of real and present danger, the adrenaline flows and the blood drains out of our organs and brain and into our limbs to prepare us for fight or flight. Yet many people spend much of their time in the anxiety and stress of fight or flight when there is no real and present danger. This is because the body responds the same way to imagined danger as it does to real danger. The body thinks that the false evidence coming from our thoughts is real. This constant state of fear and anxiety often leads to various addictions in the hope of numbing out the difficult feelings. Yet, the addictions themselves are an abandonment of self, in that they are not a healthy and loving way of dealing with painful feelings. And it is self-abandonment that causes the...

Did you know that In about forty percent of infertile couples, the cause of infertility is due to a factor involving the male partner. Ten percent factors in both the man and woman contribute to infertility. Male infertility may be caused by a number of factors, including problems associated with sperm production, sperm transport, and sperm motility as well as anatomical problems, blockage of the vas deferens the tube that brings the sperm from the testicle to the urethra , and infection. Problems with sperm production result in a reduced sperm count. A reduced sperm count may be caused by a number of factors, including hormonal changes, medications, drug use, alcohol use, excessive caffeine, cigarette smoking and testicular injury. These same factors might also cause a lowered motility. Motility is determined by the percentage of sperm that are moving or swimming. Many infertile men are obsessed about their sperm count, which results as the main concern in their lives. Fertility is the most important thing on...

The Glycemic Index Diet was written by Rick Gallop, a former President of The Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario. The Glycemic Index GI Diet claims, if you can understand a traffic light, you will understand the diet. Gallop divides food into three groups based on the glycemic index, how fast they cause spikes in blood sugar levels. He separates food into green light, yellow light and red light foods. Glucose is set at a GI level of 100 and all other foods are compared against it. Red light foods should be avoided, yellow light foods are avoided during the initial weight loss phase and eaten occasionally during the ongoing maintenance phase and green light foods should form the basis of your diet throughout. No special foods need to be purchased. Simply look up where your favorite foods fit in the plan, eat green, sample some yellow and avoid red. Gallop says dieters should expect to lose one to two pounds per week and need not start with a crash diet. While this is a low carb diet it is not as high protein as...
