Exercise Alone is Over-Rated

Kitchen Table Medicine — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 18:38:34 +0000

By Bonnie Pfiester, Fitness Trainer As a fitness professional, I often feel like a Priest at confession. Over the years, I’ve heard it all. As people lose weight they begin confessing past ‘sins’.

#1 Cabbage: Of course since we are celebrating St. Patties Day we MUST celebrate cabbage! Recently I went to an Irish Pub and ordered corned beef and cabbage, and was horrified to find out that the beef is “corned” because it is brined with corn sized pieces of salt!

Everyone is always “Kissing the Blarney Stone” in Ireland for what is said to be “good luck,” however upon my further investigation, the luck that you are receiving is the gift of gab, eloquence, flattery, and art of persuasion.

By Dr. Nicole Sundene I always love reading Dr. Mercola’s opinions on various new stories because he is fearless, and is quick to point out the pink elephant in the room. He must get a lot of hate mail…poor guy. But for those of us sitting back going, “AMEN!!!” I would just like to take [...]
