If you are the typical employee you probably spend a large part of your time in your little cubicle, sitting on your chair, typing at your computer. While this sounds easy, you would know that that is far from real. Now what made me decide to deal with this topic? Simply because like you, I have been reaping the results of my daily activities. Back pain, sharp pains in the neck, numb behind - do these symptoms sound familiar?
While there is nothing much that we can do about our

Recently, I came across a new idea (at least it's new to me) - carb cycling. So what is this thing all about? Basically, you do not starve yourself. You have days when you eat normally (with regards to carbs) and there are days when you limit your carb
intake. Take note, the word I used was limit and not prohibit.
So on the days that you are not limiting carbs, the suggested intake is about 300 ...

Aloe has long been touted as one of Nature's best for treating different kinds of conditions. From making
hair thicker and more beautiful to cleansing our bodies, Aloe's effects have been testified to by many people. For the benefit of those who are not very familiar with Aloe, it is a green plant with spiky leaves.
Different parts of the plant have different uses. When used for medicinal or health purposes, Aloe comes in different forms. The most common forms of Aloe is the gel (obtained from stripping away the outer covering), the juice (consists of pulped juice), and the bitter principle (bitter yellow liquid from the rind).
Perhaps one of the main uses of Aloe is to deal with digestive problems. It is said to help treat colitis, irritable bowel syndrome and constipation. Most of the time, Aloe juice is used ...
