Milk Sugar Intolerance
I am hearing that more people are suffering from lactose intolerance. These people suspect that they cannot digest milk sugar in their body. This intolerance can affect anyone at any time when it has never bothered them before. People can go for years without a problem, and then all of a sudden he or she experiences gut-wretching abdominal/intestinal cramping, nausea, and diarrhea.

Tips to Prepare Nutritious Meals Simply
Take your time at the grocery store and refer to your grocery list. Do not run with your shopping cart before you grab your grocery list. Stick to your grocery list for the sake of your grocery budget, list of meals, and nutrition's sake. If you want to stick to your grocery budget and food list, go to the store alone. Do not take your hubby, your kids, the neighbor, a stranger on the street, or anyone else. If I have an ingredient, but I am getting low, I will add it to my grocery list, even though I may not be using it that week and this assures I never run out of that item. When I am in the store, I train my eyes not to wander to food items that are not on my grocery list. This hurts my budget and waistline. Never grocery shop when hungry, everything not good for the body looks exceptionally good to the eye when you are hungry. Somehow these not so nutritious items end up in my cart.

I Am Addicted!
Caffeine is a drug. I weigh the pros and cons to help me decide what path to take. Shall I give up coffee? Not! I so much enjoy a good cup of coffee, cappuccino, latte, or frappuccino. I do not like espresso. Coffee and lemon water are the only beverages I drink.

Doctors Are Human Beings Not Gods on a Pedestal
It is for the reasons above that it is your right to question your doctor. It is your right to have undivided time with your doctor and ask questions. It is your right to receive the right answers to your nagging health questions and concerns.

The Possible Causes of Obesity
A Personal Perspective: Before I start I need to make it clear to my readers that I do not have a degree or certification in nutrition. I gained an abundance of knowledge throughout the last 40 plus years as a nurse. I worked closely, for many years with dietary consultants, nutritional professionals, other nurses, doctors, laboratory consultants, and many patients. I continue to do a lot of research on weight loss, lifestyle changes, diets, disease, illnesses, and medications.
