There is not space to recount all of them, but today there has been a renewed interest in tales from the British Isles and Scandinavia, specifically those related to faeries, elves and other such Otherworldly creatures. An interesting q... Wellness, Fitness and Diet Larry Christopher Mon, 23 Jun 2008 00:00:00 +0800 http://www.isnare.com/?aid=265191&ca=Wellness%2C+Fitness+and+Diet There are many ways to look at water. It is a chemical compound of Hydrogen and Oxygen (even most people who flunked, or never took chemistry probably know the symbol for water is H2O); it is the most pervasive substance on the planet and in our bodies; it is an element in both Western and Eastern s...

If you keep up with health trends, you've probably heard something like eight glasses per day. There are some books that advocate even more, saying that most people are seriously dehydrated and do not know it. There are two aspects to the water and health equation -q... Wellness, Fitness and Diet Larry Christopher Thu, 19 Jun 2008 00:00:00 +0800 http://www.isnare.com/?aid=263715&ca=Wellness%2C+Fitness+and+Diet You've probably heard by now how important it is to drink lots of water. How much? The answer varies according to who you read or listen to, but my advice is to not get carried away. Your body will tell you when it needs water -that's what thirst is for. The funny thing is, at the same time we are b...

Now a water bottle is almost as common an accessory as a cell phone. On the one hand, this reflects a health trend -more people real... Wellness, Fitness and Diet Larry Christopher Mon, 10 Dec 2007 00:00:00 +0800 http://www.isnare.com/?aid=207534&ca=Wellness%2C+Fitness+and+Diet This may be a strange topic for someone who runs a natural health-oriented web site to be writing, but I want to discuss the possibility of being overzealous about "purity" in one's diet, and life in general. I recall watching the comedian George Carlin, whose seemingly absurd outbursts often have a...

This is the kind of field where you really have to enjoy it to be any good at it. This is true of most things, but you can, for example, make money at trading items lik...

When they told me it was from animals that had been killed, I immediately decided to stop eating meat. I mainly stuck with that resolution through my childhood and teen years, with occasional transgressions, usually involving hot dogs at b...

One of the few benefits to engaging in such a mundane task all day is the ability to wear headphones.

Self Help Larry Christopher Sat, 24 Nov 2007 00:00:00 +0800 http://www.isnare.com/?aid=203509&ca=Self+Help The Law of Attraction has been getting a lot of attention recently. With the popularity of The Secret (both the book and video), books such as the Abraham books by Esther and Jerry Hicks, as well as the many hundreds of ever-popular classics, such as Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich, the idea th...
