yaksters I have heard that flax seed is really good for you, though I haven't tired it yet. I will be looking for it the next time I am grocery shopping. Thank you.

yaksters Fresh vegitables have enough salt in them natural and to add extra salt in really not needed. I watch these cooking shows and everytime the first thing they reach for is salt.

yaksters It was yesterday on Fox and Friends with Dr Manning. It was the Dr. that was disgusting this. The doctor said, eating fish is a good idea, and that we need to be aware of good fish and bad fish. When he learned of the study he too was shocked, because this is...

yaksters I too love fish, but it seems like everything we eat has something either good or bad about it. I don't know what to make of the study either. I bet in a few weeks another study will come out saying the very opposite.

yaksters Personally I think stress plays a big part in panic attacks. Stress can mess up your health so quickly that it is scary . It sounds as if your new job is working for you. I have found gardening working for me.

yaksters At the time I had nearly lost my husband due to his high blood pressure. I was spending a lot of time at the hospital and walking on eggshells. I am sure that is what caused them.

yaksters Grandmothers are the best at cooking. My grandmother came from Germany and everything she cooked had that German influence. I remember her German potato salad. When I was a teenager she came to visit. She made a turtle soup that was the bomb. It was the best...
