Avoid Migraines by Avoiding Foods that May Trigger Them
Avoid migraines by avoiding triggers. Because prevention really is worth a pound of cure when it comes to these debilitating headaches. Many people get migraines, but some might not know diet can play a role in these excruciatingly painful headaches – the kind of headaches that leave you locked in a dark quiet room, praying that the headache will go away. While the diet and migraine link is not a precise science, there is a lot of discussion and study around the fact that certain foods can worsen a pending migraine. I’ve found that one of the best ways to avoid migraines is to avoid foods that can trigger them. Avoid…

Enjoy Coffee Time Without Worrying #ChurchandDwight
Coffee time is simply essential. At least, it is for me. I love coffee. I cannot start my day without it. I need that jolt of pure go juice induced energy to get me started on my day. I used to be one of those people who had a pot of coffee ready to go pretty much all day. When my blood pressure started to be too high for my comfort though I trimmed right back. Note – trimmed back. I didn’t quit entirely because I love coffee time too much and I need it to power through busy days. That’s why September 29th, National Coffee Day, is one of…

My Tim Horton’s Coffee Poll
When it comes to the question of Starbucks versus Tim Horton’s I cannot say I’m surprised in the least by the results of a poll this week crowning Timmies a favourite among Canucks. In the Canadian Press Harris-Decima survey released this week Starbucks fans were trounced by diehard Timmie’s lovers. In fact not only did Starbucks lose but Timmies kicked them to the curb 4 to 1. Given a choice I choose Timmie’s every time. Not only is the coffee better, not bitter, it’s simply fiscally more responsible. Give me my medium double double any day of the week. Cost = $1.28. Small double double $1.18. Take this order across…
