The new Norwalk juicer. It slow grinds and then uses an hydraulic press to make the juice. The Bentley of juicers. It can extract more enzymes, vitamins and minerals than any other juicer. And it’s so much quieter than the whirling centrifugal juicers. I’m drinking my first batch now and it is delicious. I highly recommend picking one up.

Probably the best water you are going to find is in a natural spring. Now you can find one locally with the Find A Spring search site. The community on here lists the location, temperature, Ph, and if the spring is private or public. I never knew there was a spring on Staten Island with a Ph of 7.6! And its free to the public.

This is an interesting piece about abnormal immune systems in mice from Emory University in USAToday. The researchers noticed that with inflammation and weight issues they saw abnormal intestinal bacteria. Essentially realizing that the unhealthy bacteria made the mice eat more.
The researcher Gewirtz, transferred bacteria from the fat mice directly into the germ-free intestines of normal newborn mice — and those mice began eating more and developed inflammation and insulin problems.
“People are getting obese because they’re eating more, but it suggests the reason they’re eating more may not simply be that calories are cheap and available,” Gewirtz said. “The reason they’re eating more may be an increased appetite resulting from changes in intestinal bacteria.”

Dr. Andrew Weil has posted four great reasons to try Rolfing.
Do you suffer from chronic stress, pain or bad posture? You may want to consider Rolfing. Named after Dr. Ida P. Rolf, Rolfing is often referred to as “structural integration.” It is not simply massage, it is a system of deep manipulation of the connective tissues that aims to restructure the fascia (the sheath of tissue that surrounds a muscle) and relieve physical misalignment.
He goes on to list these benefits: “You may become more in touch with your body, experience less pain and stress, improve your posture, even release repressed emotions and diminish habitual muscle tension. People who have experienced Rolfing often find an improvement in their professional and daily activities.”
