Health Resources

The holidays are a wonderful time. Lots of socialising, lots of merriment, lots of cheer and, of course, lots of nice food and drink! But in ithe ney year, I predict that at least 8 out of 10 of us are going to be looking into a detox, or diet to kickstart a new healthy lifestyle.

But once the hangover has gone - what exactly will this detox mean for you?

Depending on what you read, how determined you are (and how guilty you feel!), you could be embarking on one of a million different detox programs.

Hello again. I have decided to make this weeks THDBR a bit different. Not for any particular reason, but just because…well…variety is the spice of life. Or something to that effect.

Anyway, I have recently been a little more active over at Steve Pavlina’s forums and I belatedly ran across this thread where forum members post about their own blog. I really loved this thread because a) it is another startling reminder of how many of us are now blogging our thoughts and trying to help others and improve ourselves through blogging. I LOVE that this communication tool has become SO accessible! And b) because it shows that a bit of self-promotion in a forum can be a good thing - so many forums are ban-happy whenever people try to promote their own work and it drives me nuts.

Another double header. Again. No excuses this time. I’m just going to make up for it by making this a monster-link-a-thon:

• Susan @ fatfreevegan has posted a fantabulous green food recipe, it is quick, easy, cheap and delicious. Go try it - Quck & Delicious Collards
• Amit of Unlimited Choice fame has posted an excellent guide to Anchoring - an NLP technique that I find invaluable.
• Alvin posts about cats at the Life Coaches Blog. Well, its not just about cats - but about getting totally involved in the moment - Alvin calls it Cat Zen.

So then, so then……is coffee good for you? These guys at the BBC, along with these chaps, the fellas over here and the dudes in this article think so. But then the BBC also think it’s bad for you, as well as the researchers here and the white coats in Athens. Karen is not sure.

There has been more debate on this than I know what to do with, so I will try and keep this concise. Brevity has not always been my strong point (been living with a girl for too long), but I will try my hardest to keep this quick and to the point!

Another double header. My excuses this time include:

• spending a LOT of time being nice and helpful on the energise forum
• working overtime on the new Unleash the Power Within minisite
• getting up early, and staying up late to watch Spurs beat Besiktas, Club Brugge and West Spam
• spending some time NOT working at weekends, but enjoying the sunshine (for once)

OK - so now I have got those excuses out of the way, it’s on with the show:

Hi all

Just a quick update - there are a couple of cool sites I found this week that I wanted to share:

• PhysioRoom.com - I found this site through the excellent Volzy.com, which is a personal site by Fulham utility man Moritz Volz (seriously, the most funny, down-to-earth footballer ever - you should def check this out too). Physio Room is an outstanding resource for anyone who is into sports, health and fitness. It has a great shop alongside a myriad of resources, articles, interviews and guides relating to injury prevention and cure. A hyper-resource.

They are one of the most irritating things to happen and they usually occur just in time for that date, interview, night out or worse still - wedding day!

You feel that tingle…you try to remember the advert with the chick and her motorcycle helmet…but you know it is too late. You are destined to the next seven days of cold-sore-sulking!

But fear not! While cold sores cannot be cured, per se, there are a few simple steps you can take to dramatically reduce the likelihood of cold sores paying you a visit in the future:

OK, so this is going to be a fairly quick post - but this is something that is pretty cool that I thought you all might like to have a play around on.

The site Real Age Inc. is great fun. Basically, at the very basic level you can sign on, answer a load of basic questions and it gives you what your ‘real age’ is. Some examples of questions are:

• On a typical day, about how many hours do you sleep?
• What is your resting heart rate?
• Have you EVER had asthma?

OK - so you may or may not know that Darren Rowse of ProBlogger has organised another group writing project. Darren gets quadzillions of visitors every day and he uses this popularity to create some good in the world: namely the group writing project.

Every project invites all of ProBlogger’s readers to submit their posts (on a different subject each time) to him and he publishes links to them all as a kinda hub.

It is great for several reasons, but the main one is that it gives exposure to hundreds and hundreds of blogs and encourages us all to network, browse and learn!
