Did you know that cows are vegetarian? That’s right; the very large, very strong animal that we go to for our protein gets its protein from grass. Cows by nature are vegetarian as are horses, elephants, giraffes as well as many other strong animals on the planet.

Frequent nighttime urination and having an overactive bladder (OAB) during the daytime is associated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in women, according to a new study in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology. The study compared women with nocturia — some of whom had overactive bladder — with healthy women. Nocturia is the need to get up during the night in order to urinate. The researchers who conducted the study found that about 80 percent of subjects with nocturia, overactive bladder or both had obstructive sleep apnea, but only 40 percent of healthy subjects had these symptoms. They suggest that a diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea should be considered in all patients with nocturia and overactive bladder.

Flowers hold much beauty. To look at, to smell, to draw, to receive and even sometimes to eat are experiences we appreciate. Yet to smell the essence of real flowers grown in nature is a joy unique to each individual. We actually smell things a wee bit different from each other. Our olfactory system has a unique connection to our brain, which is truly our own. Each individual may certainly experience certain common traits, yet our sense of smell our taste buds and our minds will vary in their perception.

Carpet cleaning can be a fairly toxic practice. Standard carpet cleaning formulas contain a combination of harsh chemical solvents and detergents to remove dirt and stains. After cleaning, harmful residues remain in your carpet and circulate throughout the air. This "toxic soup" affects the health of every member of your family, especially small children and pets.

Women have been both scoffed and credited for intuition because of their monthly cycles. This cycle keeps them connected to the moon, nature, and reproduction. But what about men, can they tap into intuition? Men are just as intuitive as women, they just use it differently.

Increasing the portion of raw living foods in our diet is part of a holistic, life-giving process. Cooking destroys most of the enzymes, 50% of the proteins and about 80% of the vitamins and minerals contained in raw foods. The body is then forced to spend energy to manufacture its own enzymes for digestion instead of other vital functions such as immunity and organ repair. Eating just a portion of our food in its natural state can make a significant difference.
