I forgot to tear a vent in the bag of rice that was heating in the microwave. The bag exploded, and my microwave looked like a snow globe.

While not as good as fresh vegetables, canned corn, peas, string beans and other vegetables can be nutritious and low calorie options.

Root vegetables like turnips and yams don't have to be refrigerated. Butternut, acorn and spaghetti squashes can sit out for long periods. Apples, oranges and melons can last awhile.

Be ready for cold weather! When I was there, the daytime high was supposed to be 65 degrees. It may have reached that temp for 5 minutes at 2:00 pm but the rest of the time it was around 45 degrees and windy. Bring warm jackets, food, water, emergency shelter, first aid kit, and always keep all members of your group within…

Don't forget that up until the 1960's, women often wore corsets and girdles that artificially gave them an hourglass figure.

The cheapest is probably dairy milk. If your preference is non-dairy, there are many options such as nut milk, soy milk, oat milk etc. I don't think there is much difference in the "healthiness " of any of them since you're probably using just a spoonful. Use the one that tastes good to you.

"Toned" has been in common usage for 40 years, and most women have a fairly consistent image of what that looks like. It's a combination of muscle development and body fat that produces an appearance of being lean but not skinny, skinny-fat, or muscular. As a trainer, you should show her how to achieve it, not tell her…

It's pretty common for people to feel that it's harder to lose weight as we get older. There are a lot of reasons that might explain it, but the important thing to remember is that you can still lose weight by reducing calories and/or increasing activity. Be extra careful about weighing and logging everything you eat. Good…

I wish there were more clinical studies to determine the best dosage and delivery system (topical vs sublingual vs gummies, etc) and better inspection of the manufacturers to insure the strength and purity of the product.

CBD topically helped my knee pain quite a bit, and taking it orally helped with insomnia and nausea due to chemotherapy. It's not a miracle drug, but it can be useful. I didn't have any side effects from it but I noticed that I had to keep increasing the dosage to get the same benefit .

If we are considering an effective public policy to alleviate a problem (obesity), we should consider what worked for other public health issues. Tobacco use diminished with a combination of higher taxes, warning labels, and restrictions on sales and advertising. I know that e-cigarettes and vaping are reintroducing…

When I was on chemotherapy for ovarian cancer, I mostly ate watermelon because that was the only thing that appealed to me. I would also drink a bottle of Boost for the protein.

Don't forget to carry a spare tube or patch kit, air pump or CO2 pump, and know how to fix a flat!

Rolled oats, a spoonful of canned pumpkin, a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice, and a dash of maple syrup. Yum!

I used to work for an ophthalmologist. Back in the 1980's he examined a Cambodian woman who had gone blind. She thought it was because she had cried so much after soldiers killed her family. When asked about her diet, she said she had eaten only white rice and tea for many years. The doctor advised her to eat vegetables…
