My New Diabetes Articles for HealthCentral:
Last month HealthCentral published five more of my diabetes articles about all aspects of the condition:
You can almost always find good food wherever you travel. Here is some tips about how to avoid increasing blood glucose levels and weight.
Everywhere we go we find people using traditional supplements to manage their diabetes. When I went to Belize, I discovered noni. Many people prefer supplements to prescription medicine because they are natural. But is natural always better?
Taking advantage of an optical illusion, we can fool ourselves into losing weight. While fooling ourselves is not always smart, in this case it is, even if we know what we are doing.
Having a passion for something is one of the best reasons to live. Here is a new book that I hope will inspire a passion in you. "The Passionate Life" is available free as an e-book.
- Fitness and Photograph for Fun:
Last month I published 17 more of my articles on staying fit by getting the activity we need. Photography is what does it for me:
Belize:
For two weeks at the end of November I visited the Central American country of Belize. In December I wrote 11 photo essays about that wonderful trip. The first of these is: Visiting Belize
White Sands National Monument, New Mexico:
I went to New Mexico to learn how to be a photographer and incidentally to take pictures. The first of my two photo essays from White Sands is: Between the Storms
Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge, New Mexico:
Sandhill Cranes was why I went to Bosque. The first of these two photo essays is: Bosque's Cranes and Geese
By Bird Feeder at Home:
I even stayed home in Boulder and went hiking and snowshoeing here. But my best shots were from my living room of birds and other wildlife at my bird feeder. The first of these two photo essays is: Hard Times in Colorado
