I made this smoothie today with a banana, some blueberries, a date, an egg, 1 TBS of whole flaxseed, and some water.

I have read that the best way to consume flax seeds is to buy it as meal and not seed form. The rational was that the beneficial oils are not exposed and absorbed while in seed form and they just pass through the body. In meal form you get the full benefit. I don't eat whole flax seeds. My Ninja ha...

Ninja Blender Blade
The blade on my Ninja BL454 was acting up. I was feeling heat on the blade axle after making a smoothie for quite a while, then the other day it almost wouldn't turn at all. It sounded funny and would not turn at a consistent high speed. I could hardly turn it by hand. I bought a replacement blade o...

So if you had Castrol or Quaker State 0w-20...it would be just like water too when you pull the dipstick when cool. I personally don't find these oils to be as watery as PP 0w20. It's easier to check the oil with Castrol or QS, I've found. Not a big deal anyway. I added just a dab under 4 qts. to i...

I changed my oil 2 days ago. The old oil seemed like it could have gone another 6 to 12 months. So I ran this 11 months, and just under 2,200 miles. The trip B meter says I drove the car for 105.5 hours (I think that's what it means) during the time this oil was in my engine. EV : 25% - 556 miles. T...

More Helpful Fatty Acids Found in Organic Milk
I guess I may drink organic whole milk from now on. I used to drink 1% milk but the trouble with that is, it has synthetic Vitamin A added, and Vitamin A toxicity affects quite a few people, including me. That can cause dry skin, eczema, etc. They say organic milk comes from cows that are fed more t...

For years I've known about coconut oil reversing or improving Alzheimer's, and MCT oil is derived from coconut oil, which makes it even more powerful.

This stuff is amazing. I can now tolerate 1/2 tsp 2x a day with food. I plan to work up to 1 to 2 TBS per day, in food. I'm 72 now, and it seems to do me a lot of good. Start slow on it, like 1/2 tsp a day in food, and work up slowly over 1-2 weeks. Otherwise it can cause loose bowels -------------...

Newer/smaller engines tend to run much thinner oils, they're fine even if they seem watery. As to the frequency, with new full synthetic oils you can go over a year easily imho if you don't make the miles. What I've also done on my cars is take a syringe and pull out the brake fluid from the master...

Trust me, it's way too easy to overthink motor oil, changing frequency and which one is the best. If you're only driving 3-4k per year I think you're doing the right thing by changing your oil once a year. Pick a quality full synthetic oil in the rating that your engine calls for and use a quality ...

I decided to finally run my motor oil 12 months, after changing my own oil 2x a year for quite a few years, since I now run full synthetic which my Prius calls for, so I no longer need to change my oil 2x a year and I only drive 3-4k miles per year. I now run Pennzoil Platinum FS 0w20, and it seems ...

BEST time to do the inversion table is immediately before bed. Make it the very last thing you do before bed, and locate it nearby the bed so you have minimal steps to take from it...to bed.

A week or two ago I started getting a burning feeling in my right butt cheek which turns out to be Piriformis Syndrome [PS]. One of the things that can cause it is sitting on your butt too much and not doing enough of certain exercises that strengthen the piriformis muscle. When it has a problem it ...
