CLA supplements (Clarinol vs. Tonalin) and Effectiveness
I've been taking a Nature's Way CLA-1300 supplement that I got from Whole Foods and noticed today that they use a specific brand of CLA called Clarinol. I've read about Tonalin, and I know that is the other main marketed CLA brand. When I bought this particular supplement, I considered several things: 1) price, 2) value,…

H.E.M. vs. R.I.C.E. for ankle sprains
So I sprained my right ankle Tuesday night while bouldering at my indoor climbing gym (I jumped down about 3 feet or so, backwards, and landed on the crashpad, but my ankle rolled in and made a pop).

Yummy mashed sweet potato recipe!
I served this simple and nutritious side with jerk chicken and sauteed veggies. Surprisingly, for the coconut milk, a little goes a long way and I actually only used 1/4 cup... I also used ground ginger, but just a tiny bit and I just eyeballed it. I'm sure it was less than a 1/2 tsp). So I guess I didn't follow the…
