People get so hung up on the whole gluten thing when it's only part of the story. Grain Brain is much more about the impact of grains on hormonal functions etc. Wheat Belly is really looking at reducing your insulin response to food. In Dr Davis' opinion grains are worse than plain sugar. He sees the insulin response…

Read Wheat Belly or Grain Brain - get them from your library and they'll explain lots better than I can here and then you can make your own mind up. Then read up on glyphosphate treatment of wheat prior to harvest and decide if that is a concern too. The insulin response, for me, is the reason to go grain free. You still…

$60 sounds like a pretty cheap insurance policy... your lawyer would charge that just to answer the phone! Even if pit bull "isn't a breed" showing all the traits possible would be handy. As for the German Shepherd comment... when I was a kid we were right into showing Cavaliers (oh how I wanted a big dog!) and the scary…

That's just awful for everyone involved. If the council back down next time a kid gets hurt/killed (as happens too often in NZ) they'll be vilified for not doing enough. If they don't back down they're destroying good dogs with good owners when we all know that it's bad owners that make the "dangerous breeds" dangerous.…

GET IT LOOKED AT! Rotator cuffs are common injuries for BMX racers (a sport I used to do) and you'd see these big strong guys who weren't allowed to hold a cup of tea in that hand for months. Must have driven them mad. Don't muck about, see a Physio and ask questions, listen and follow instructions. If you're stuck on a…

It'll definately help and it's a beautiful time of the day. Even when it's dark and the sun is just rising you get a totally different view of your neighbourhood. I reckon 30 minutes running is a great toner! Just mix it up, set yourself mini challenges to keep yourself fresh, put a few slopes/hills in there. Run alone or…

I think the key thing came out right at the end... most of your running isn't "real world" so you use the ipod to distract you from the tedium of the treadmill. If you run 5k in your neighbourhood you are so busy looking around you, comparing how you felt at this hill last time, doing time checks, looking at how the…

Having a base fitness is essential I reckon because running when you aren't fit at all is ghastly - so you're on the right track. I find the first couple of weeks are really hard because you have to "break in" a whole heap of muscles to their new activity and I only try to do about 2km and I don't even worry about how fast…
