- Harmony
of Hormones and Neurotransmitters
- Justin Opal, RPT
An
overview of the extreme importance of lifestyle on health.
Who we are is greatly dictated by the delicate balance
of hormones within our bodies. Hormones are regulated
by the endocrine system which is sensitive to environment,

- How
to Understand Food Labels Nutrition Facts Panel, Navigating
Food Labels - Dianne Villano, CPFI

fool themselves into thinking they're eating the "right
amount" or ignore it altogether. And because the
ENTIRE Nutrition Facts panel is based on the "serving
size," it's very important to get it right or all
the information will be inaccurate.

40 teaspoons daily. While near impossible to avoid, it
is a good idea to restrict your intake...

- Diet
for Cold Sores - Doug Setter
... Certain foods that
you eat will boost your immune system, encourage intestinal
flora (good bacteria) and inhibit the herpes virus. Keep
in mind that the herpes virus thrives with the amino acid
arginine, but not with lysine. Therefore, it is important
to lower your intake of arginine and increase your intake
of lysine when you have canker or cold sores ...
