Tea Makes Visualizing Improved Performance Easy

Tea brewed from the camellia sinesis plant, better known as green, black, oolong, white or puerh teas, is filled with antioxidants and other important nutrients. Studies have shown that tea taken regularly can reduce your risk of heart disease and some cancers. The antioxidants help reduce […]
Spring Cleaning for the Zombie Survivalist
Episode VII We stick mainly to the deer trails as we travel between camps. It’s safer than the roads. Zombies tend to collect where humans once felt safe. The best route to our spring camp, though, includes a piece of road maybe five miles long, part of which crosses a river. The bridge is one […]
Spring Cleaning for Athletes means Root Beer
Just about the time spring rolls around, I often notice my performance beginning to lag. Winter’s a tough season on the body.

Elder Kills the Zombie Virus in Some
Episode VI Like I imagine many of you, I thought, assumed even, the scientists who’d accidentally created Virus Z would somehow figure out how to cure it. Two years after the first breakout, I heard a rumor that the military had developed a new strategy, a camouflage of sorts, to help combat the virus. It was […]

Replenish After a Big Workout
After a few months of taekwondo, I noticed occasionally I’d get muscle cramps and sometimes spasms near the end of class or later in the day. Usually, the spams were an after class deal while cramps were more likely to happen in class. One of the high-ranks in my class who was a bit older […]
