Top 100 Women’s Health Blogs
August 19, 2008
Health and time … what woman doesn’t relate? These are two of the biggest concerns and interests in the lives of so many women. What if someone could hand you a list of terrific sites about every aspect of health and well-being over 40? It would save you hours and bring something greatly valuable to your life.
Kelly emailed recently to tell me that AGT had been included in Nursing School Search’s list of Top 100 Women’s Health Blogs. I’m sincerely honored.
I am also grateful to have that list because it has done the legwork for all of us. I’ve spent a lot of time at Google Blog Search and other blog directories looking for a list like that one, but been discouraged by the sheer number of results and not finding sites that I felt were written with me in mind.
This list is compiled precisely for women over 40. The topics include nutrition with 11 great blogs, exercise with 10, as well as physical and mental well-being, blogs discussing infertility, pregnancy, and child-rearing, and just being fabulous over 40.
On behalf of all of us, thank you, Kelly!

Book Review : Cooking With Foods That Fight Cancer
June 11, 2008
While it’s true that some cancers can be cured nowadays, it still must figure among the most dreaded diagnoses. In Canada, 400 people are told they have cancer each day. Can you imagine being one of them?
Not a week goes by that I don’t have to tell an owner that their pet has cancer. Dogs get it a lot, especially the bigger breeds. Seeing the devastation in the family and the deterioration in the animal as this sickness claims its life makes me very aware of the hideous misery of it.
GREEN TEA SOLVED
April 15, 2008
I have given up hope of finding a drinkable green tea in a bag. The flavor variations are “Wet Straw Juice” right on down to “The Shivers” and “I Can No Longer Suppress My Gag Reflex”. Back in the article Matcha Tea, I was struggling with the same problems.
Need an answer? Ask a woman.
My good friend Gina provided me with bag of loose leaf Gyokuro Tea. Hope resurrected.

March 2, 2008
You’ve seen it on the Superfoods lists, but just how strange and complicated will it be to learn to use it? Is it super enough to bother learning to use it?
It is as tricky as rice, cooks faster, and is great. You know I would never exaggerate how easy something is, since one of my driving forces is to spend the least possible time dealing with food. Do you know that quinoa comes closer than any food, vegetable or animal, in supplying all the necessary nutrients for life?

GREAT OATCAKES RECIPE

A beautiful treat
Hello, my name is Christine, and I hate cooking
OK, it ain’t no secret. I don’t enjoy cooking. I take a lot of shortcuts to get it done as fast as possible. There are many who cannot even be in the kitchen with me, so blatantly do I corrupt the rules. I apologize in [...]
