While everyone knows the benefits of salmon oil for people, very few recognize the benefits it has for dogs.  Actually, a lot of the benefits we experience from salmon oil will help dogs without many of the side effects we would have to deal with.  The fatty side of oil for one.  Dogs will metabolize fats differently then we do, and actually a bit more effectively.  So you don’t have to worry about making your dog chubby by adding Life Span Salmon Oil to their diet.  Salmon oil for dogs will help make up for the deficiencies inherent in most store bought dog foods.  Fatty acids which are plentiful in salmon oil is often sadly lacking in store bought food.

Fish oil for dogs in general, enhances several other parts of a dogs body, including it’s coat, it’s skin, it’s teeth, and it’s nails.  It’s also effective no matter how old the dog is.  In younger dogs, it can help in the development of strong bones, and in older dogs, it can help in reducing inflammation and stiffness from those same bones.  The list really does go on and on, as salmon oil boosts the immune system and can help fight cancers.  It may even make your puppy smarter.  Especially during their development years, there is evidence that suggests salmon oil helps in brain development of younger dogs.

I love Mexican food, but it can be unhealthy made with full fat cheeses, fried tortillas, and fatty ground beef. A much better alternative is an easy to make a healthy Mexican chicken recipe, which is versatile and can be prepared to your tastes.

The main ingredients are chicken breasts, taco seasoning, a can of chicken broth, and a jar of salsa- whichever type you like best. You can layer those four ingredients in the crock pot before you leave for work in the morning, set it to low, and when you come home you’ll be greeted by an awesome aroma that will make you want to eat dinner right away.

I usually pull out the breasts and pour a cup or two of the broth into a gravy boat to use over top of the chicken. Then, I add a cup or two of instant brown rice to the crock-pot and turn it to high. You can also add a can of sweet corn or black beans at this point, and let it cook for about 20 minutes or so, until the rice is the consistency you like.

Serve the breasts whole or shredded- your preference, with the salsa broth mixture to top. You can also top the chicken with shredded cheddar cheese and low fat sour cream for an authentic, but healthy Mexican meal.

Grilling’s great, but sometimes we just want something really quick and effortless. That’s why we turn to the microwave, or the takeaway menu. Or, in my case, the sous-vide cooker.

Sous vide is a technique pioneered by top chefs like Heston Blumenthal, but it’s coming into general use more and more in the kitchen. You can Google to find a few sous vide water baths for the price of an expensive pot, or even ways to improvise water baths for less than that. [...]

Honestly, I must admit to being a pretty big skeptic when it comes to energy drinks.  Actually, anything that promises to make me live longer, look better, lose weight fast, or make me stronger sets of warning bells in the back of my mind.  Especially when it’s a processed type food that comes in a can, box or bottle with a list of ingredients longer than the fine print on one of Microsofts EULA software agreements.  So when it comes to the best selling energy drink, you know I’m going to have my doubts.  Personally, if you want to have more energy, then there are three things you need to do.

First and foremost, try eating as healthy as possible.  We all know what that means, so I don’t think I need to list all that right foods here.  This blog is actually full of interesting topics on healthy food.  Just search around a bit.  Secondly, get yourself plenty of sleep.  For a grown adult, that means at least seven hours per night.  If your a teenager, don’t even bother rolling out of bed before noon.  Even a drink like the Jager Bomb Red Bull drink can’t make up for a good nights sleep.  And lastly, your going to need to do some sort of physical activity on a daily basis.  Generally a combination of different workouts is best.  The variety will help avoid the boredom of working out, plus will minimize the stress on specific muscles and joints that accompanies repeating the same exercise over and over.

The Japanese diet is one of the healthiest in the world. This is one of the reasons why they have such a high life expectancy. Eating rice is both tasty and good for us.

I started drinking coffee after college.  My wife introduced me to the wonderful drink when we would sit on the couch on lazy Saturday mornings reading the paper.  It was great.  Later, I developed a love for the taste of espresso.  To me it is almost like a good scotch or brandy.  Something to be savored and enjoyed slowly.
