Pregnancy & Nutrition. Which Is Best For A Child’s IQ; Fish Or Fish Oil?:
Awhile back, I contacted The Charismatic Voice, because I heard the great news that Elizabeth was going to have a baby!

I wanted to pass-on what info I had here about both fish and nuts and the positive effects they have on kids development,

-Not that her child will actually need them that much. Because Elizabeth is so brainy, she’ll undoubtedly pass-on those smarts to The Charismatic Baby!

But unfortunately in-keeping with a few of the recent cautions on The Mediterranean Diet, there is both a problem and a solution…

Coffee Vs. Alzheimer’s. A Few Cups A Day Is Looking Like A Great Habit To Have:
One of the most difficult things to deal with in life is something you feel you can do nothing about.

Well, one of the goals of this site is to try to help people avoid those situations in the first place.

And before we get our Artificial-Intelligence super-drugs in the year 2050, we have to take the best that SCIENCE! has to offer now.

One of those themes strangely-enough is exploration into the Freakonomics-like hidden benefits in all kinds of things.

-Like specific nutritional choices.

And if the current version of “Get your medicine from your food” is any indicator, everyone’s favorite drink just got another vote of confidence…

The Mediterranean Diet. Is It Really Healthier If You Get More Pesticides?:
So part of what we all decide to do in The New Year is to better ourselves.

Great and noble goals. Even better if you have a plan populated by small routines & systems to achieve the big goal.

One of the goals many of us set of course, is weight loss.

And with that comes a list of popular diets.

Some of which are healthy. Others are the result of celebrity fever-dreams.

One of the most popular for the last few years is The Mediterranean Diet, but research is showing there might be at least one hitch to that plan…

Gratitude, Optimism, & Quality Of Life. You Could Live Better & Longer!:
With the end-of-year holidays upon us now, that means at least one thing.

We all survived Thanksgiving with our weird, and probably-alcoholic relatives.

Which bring us to an important point: Many holidays try to emphasize at least some good personal qualities.

Especially when it comes to remembering people who had almost nothing and risked it all to try to start over.

Those people were genuinely thankful for every tiny bit of something they had.

And that’s not just an exercise in “woo-woo”. SCIENCE! has found real benefits…

Intermittent-Fasting Plus A Few Clever Hacks Could Make Weight-Loss Easier:
Every once in awhile I end up in a conversation about nutrition & weight-loss.

So as a change in pace, I thought I’d share a few things I’ve learned over time.

There are several studies to back this up, but some of it is just personal experience.

A lot of this comes from changing everything I was doing when I got a little bit chubby and needed to lose weight myself.

-Which I did to the tune of more than 40 pounds and 10+% body fat over the span of about 10 months, using only nutrition and without exercise.

So if that kind of thing is your cup of tea, then read on…

Dementia & Nutrition. Can We Prevent The Disease Before A Cure Arrives?:
We all know that sometimes things seem beyond our control.

Sometimes people appear to get sick for no reason.

But until the new wave of AI & Machine-Learning powered medicine comes up with thousands of custom drugs,

Or Moderna cures every disease known to man,

We all have to try to do whatever we can to give ourselves the best odds at success.

Coffee Vs. Heart-Failure & Stroke. Everyone’s Favorite Drink For A Reason?:
We all start out doing things basically from some kind of superstition.

It’s worked before & recommended, so we follow-along without knowing too much about why.

A lot of these guidelines apply to not just the straight-and-narrow path to success,

But also about health of all kinds.
