That makes sense Enthusiast. Your body still needs exposure to sunlight. It's more about when you sunbathe. As long as you do it in the early morning (before 9 AM, depending on the season), I think it would be fine.

LOL, I agree, of course it's not like a cardio workout. When it comes to its effects to your heart and circulation, I think it's more like cholesterol than exercises.

Hehe I am also confused about it. I remember ever reading about what we actually are, it seems that humans are more herbivorous than carnivorous, considering our digestive systems and morphology. But I read it in a book about vegetarian.

I don't think that any of you would consider watching horror movies a healthy habit. I am not a big fan of horror movies (and books) myself. But a friend of mine believes that watching horror movies is another cardio workout. :rolleyes::D

That's a good reason to limit meat consumption in your diet. It reminds me of a joke about a vegetarian woman ordering a vegetarian meal on a flight. She noticed that the man sitting next to her had also ordered one. When she asked if the man is also vegetarian, he said no. He is a meat...

I believe there are some vegetarians in this forum. May I ask you about why you go vegetarian? Is it for health and ethical reasons, animal welfare, environmental concerns or....?

Diaphragmatic or abdominal breathing is done by expanding your abdomen rather than your chest. It's known to be a healthier and fuller way of ingesting oxygen. I learned it in a yoga class I have ever attended. Do you practice it?

That's a good point, Nature. Just because solar panels may contain toxic substances doesn't mean you cannot use them safely. I think you would be fine as long as you follow the installation and usage guidelines.

Yes, I agree that it depends on how the dairy cows are raised. If they were raised on factory farms as the meat producing cattle are (with all those hormones, antibiotics and other chemicals), I don't think the milk they produce are safe to consume.

I admire the doctors also. They are great person in their field. And I agree with you that the conventional medicine is at best in dealing with emergencies. You can't use herbs to cure an acute appendicitis.

Interesting, but it makes sense. I notice that I often get bad dreams after getting dinner too late or eating too much. Do you think it's not only what you eat but also how you eat?

You mean MiO from Kraft? I remember ever reading about that in USA Today website. I am not a big fan of factory made flavorings though. I prefer the natural way as the glass pitcher does.

Thanks, I grew up believing that some heart diseases are hereditary, and it's confirmed now. Anyway, maintaining a healthy lifestyle especially your eating habit will always be a good way of reducing the risk of heart attacks.

I love the quote. It tells us that the goal of life is not to live 100 years or so, but to contribute something useful to our family, friends, fellow humans and even fellow creatures.

That's great news, thanks. So, it's necessary to breathe deeply all the time, and not only during your exercises, yoga sessions or personal/collective meditation, right?
