Why You Should Include Supplements in Your Daily Routine
Natural vs Synthetic Nutrients Multivitamins are considered synthetic nutrients, and generally speaking, about half of the United States population relies on a vitamin for the majority of their nutrient needs. However, there has been a lot of talk more recently about the benefits of choosing a synthetic supplement when natural nutrients can be found. The point isn’t to argue about which form of vitamins or minerals you should consume but to stress the importance of getting the proper nutrition. While a plant-based supplement offers some advantages, the goal of all dietary extras should be to improve your overall health and well-being.

The Different Sectors of Health and Wellness
There is so much debate about picking sides when it comes to medicine. Instead of thinking about how to utilise the benefits of each practice, people have these beliefs, much like with politics or religion that their way is the only way. This is fundamentally wrong.

Living the Moment, Being Now
Living the moment. Being “now.” Is awareness opposed to focus? Many books and teachers urge us to live in the now. There is much to be said for focusing on what we are doing at any particular moment, especially when attempting a complex task. But it is not so easy, especially when we are not having to concentrate on achieving anything in particular. To literally live in “now” means at any given moment you are absorbed by and focused on, this moment, the last few seconds, or even the next few seconds should not enter your mind. Obviously taken to this extreme it is as dangerous as it is foolish. Try driving a car or typing at a computer, without any thought or intention about the next second in time. As in all things, we have to to apply pragmatism and rationality to our efforts to live in the now. Being aware of every moment that your life is occupying is a good start. Take off the head phones while walking to work, look around as you walk, be aware of other people, smile, say hello, actually be you walking to work, not some electronically separated and cocooned product of electronic input.

H2O and the Daily Goal
So I've been suffering from a severe headache for the best part of a week now. I've been short and irritable with the people around me, and generally brought the mood in the house down several notches. According to quite a few web searches one of the main causes may be my hydration levels. I'm not what you'd call a water drinker. Even in the height of summer, I am guilty of reaching for a Diet Coke or iced coffee. I've never really given much consideration to how this is effecting me. Whether those preconditioned to reach for the Evian are receiving noticable benefits from this habit, I'll admit it shouldn't take a six day migraine to make me consider improving my water intake. There's numerous articles in fashion and lifestyle magazines professing it will give you clear skin and sparkly eyes but what about other effects?

The Holy Grail, The Cup of Satisfaction, The Drink of Fulfillment
Facing the Unlimited with the Limited When I think about food it feels like facing the unlimited with the limited. My non-existent desire to eat other things or “go back to eating” after feeling such simplicity and fulfillment while following the raw milk cure, also referred to as a mono food and drink diet called the raw milk diet (note that for me this is not the same thing as a fast and comes from a different and healthy mindset than that of an eating disorder) has left me asking myself “Do I really have to go through this again?” and “When did I do it before?” Nonetheless, knowing that this desire I’ve been feeling is highly unconventional, controversial and can make many people go into defense mode, I understand that the unlimited can only be fulfilled by the unlimited, and so, I dive into asking these questions with the willingness to be open to whatever answers and options for proceeding may come along.
