Detox Diets
In recent years there has been a lot of buzz regarding detox diets and now you can find detox formulas in local health food stores, herbal supplements, and spas, all claming to help cleanse your body, especially the liver and kidneys from toxins. But what works and what doesn’t work? Here are some tips to help you make a better informed decision about trying a detox supplement or treatment.

Ultimate Workout - Actor Jason Statham
I was at my parent’s house today when I noticed on the coffee table the October issue of Men’s Health.

But did you know that exercise, quite literally, makes you want to have sex? After a good workout (not limited to the gym, think hike, bike and climbing too), men and women alike experience a spike of testosterone (the famed “pump” of bodybuilding), the hormone that influences sexual arousal.
