Modern Medicine vs Traditional Methods Physicians and other medical professionals are very beneficial to society as a whole, but what happens when trendy doctoring merely will not work? It is a known reality that antibiotics have saved many lives over the years. However, a recent resurgence of "classic" viruses and germs are proving to be extraordinarily resistant to applied medical therapies. Antibiotics are largely ineffective against them. Mainstream doctors are currently recommending natural therapies to treat both minor symptoms and chronic conditions. Dietary modification, for example, has become a key weapon against illnesses that would have needed in depth prescription drug treatment a generation ago.

I have been asked  numerous times about the healthiest way to eat after the holidays. But what about during the holidays?   It is a known fact that many Americans experience substantial weight gain between the months of October through December.  Some may ask why this occurs.  The truth is there are a myriad of reasons as to why this occurs: inclement weather tends to make one less likely to want to exercise outdoors, limited sunlight can cause your circadian rhythms to become off balanced and may make you more sedentary, and at least a few dozen other factors. However, overwhelmingly, food is typically the culprit. We tend to consumer fattier & less nutritious meals during the late fall to early winter seasons. As weight loss becomes more challenging this ultimately causes you to work out even harder after the holiday seasons...unless you take action to offset the excess weight.    I believe that it is quite possible to create a nutritious and de

Hello everyone, I wanted to make an announcement about a new project I have been dedicating a considerable amount of time to recently. Regular readers will no doubt recall my alluding to this in a recent comment I made.

Getting a bad rap about your diet ? Here's a good rap for you!*                               *WARNING: VIDEO CONTAINS SOME HARSH LANGUAGE*                      

How many times have you gone to sleep at night, swearing you'll go to the gym in the morning, and then changing your mind just eight hours later because when you get up, you don't feel like exercising?

Think you know salads...think again

Alright, I see that this posted question didn't get much response. No problem. I've been a bit busy at work on a new project that I plan to unveil to you in the near future. At any rate, I wanted to provide a posted answer to Mr. Freitag's inquiry about looking good shirtless.

Hi there! Ive got a couple more articles of interest for you. One of course is directly in line with my ongoing theme here about healthy eating  & the other about common sense regarding herbal remedies. Remember, your health IS your wealth! Take Care Everyone!!!

Patience is a virtue as they say and your patience with me regarding this challenging article series is quite admirable. Thank you for waiting. Superfoods: Grains is up & ready for your viewing. So far this has been the most research-intensive, sweat-inducing, overall demanding of articles I have submitted thus far.

As you all know, one of my main objectives here on "KurtMIND" is to help those of us that are interested in improving their health. There are many paths to take toward this goal and I try to offer a few options for you. I regularly read about health problems that are plaguing the masses at large worldwide. One of the biggest issues out there is toxicity. People want to know how to detoxify properly .    You can find the definition of the word toxicity as "the state of being toxic or the degree to which a substance is toxic".  What makes one toxic? 

Organic foods have been a heated topic of discussion for years between both academics & health food enthusiasts alike. I am not here to get into the intricacies of either argument. I will leave that to the appropriate forums dedicated to that type of debate. I simply want to illustrate the benefits of natural, untreated foods. First, a layman's definition of organic food.

Alright, here is the moment you have all been waiting for. A couple of article-inspired recipes for you. Try preparing them (or have someone else do it for you) & let everybody know what you think. Comments are always welcome.

Hello everyone! I'm not sure if you are all aware or not, but we have had a MASSIVE heat wave here in Chicago & pretty much most of the upper Midwestern states. Average temps have been around 100+ degrees Fahrenheit. This extraordinary weather pattern has unfortunately caused some casualties over the past few weeks.

I sincerely hope you enjoyed my article on the "Nine Easy Facts About Fiber". It is one of my favorite subjects in the realm of health maintenance. I received a couple of e-mails from some friends of mine that told me they were really surprised by some of my facts that I provided (especially points 7-9). Believe it or not there was actually a great deal of controversy about dietary fiber requirements in some academic circles. Anyway, I'd like to invite you to check out more of my articles on health maintenance. If you like (or *gulp* dislike) what you've read  let's talk about it. I'm always open to discussion. Until next time. I'm all ears.........

My first entry should not be an apology, but I feel that I should. I have been a bit derelict in my posting duties here and I see that I have had some visitors looking for some content. Well, wonder no more fellow health enthusiasts. I am finally posting some interesting stuff for you to read.
