By Seth Pollard You’ve probably heard that Americans spend too much time sitting on their duffs. Well, not much has changed. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Americans still sit too much. In fact, 4 out of 10 adults don’t get any moderate or vigorous exercise on a weekly basis. Oh, but it gets worse. One in every 10 Americans report that not only do they not exercise enough, but they also spend more than 8 hours a day being physically inactive, the CDC reports in a study published November 20 in the journal JAMA.

The following brief web article was adapted from the section on alleged ‘bad designs’ in Dr Sarfati’s new book By Design, which is subtitled, Evidence for nature’s Intelligent Designer—the God of the Bible. The prostate is a walnut-sized gland in male mammals that secretes a clear, slightly alkaline liquid that comprises about 10–30% of the volume of semen. Thus it is a vital musculoglandular organ for reproduction. Some critics of creation/intelligent design complain that it is badly designed because the urethra (the tube through which urine flows out) passes through it, so if the prostate enlarges, it restricts urine

By everybodysfit Chronic, lingering wrist pain that causes discomfort for daily living activities may be attributed to carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). When pain, tingling, and/or numbness is felt in some of the fingers, there can be nerve compression. This uncomfortable feeling can be attributed to the median nerve. This nerve runs down the arm, through the wrist, and then to the fingers. The route the nerve takes is through the carpal “tunnel”. Movement of all fingers (except the pinky) are controlled by this very nerve. When swelling occurs, the “tunnel” becomes narrowed. There are about 200,000 cases of CTS per

Francis Crick and James Watson have used the occasion of the 50th anniversary of their discovery of the DNA double helix as an excuse to attack belief in a Creator.1 wikimedia commons Francis Crick and James Watson. Together with Maurice Wilkins they received the Noble Prize in 1962 for their discovery of the double helix structure of DNA back in 1953. A recent UK news article about the Nobel-Prize–winning pair claimed ‘scientific discoveries have a habit of offending religious susceptibilities’, and pointed out, ‘Watson and Crick are both outspoken atheists.’1 These comments attempt to reinforce the old canard

So, if you’ve tried them and you like the way the lamps look, but you’ve had so many problems that you simply can’t take it anymore, there is one more solution. Try a Himalayan salt tea light holder instead. They’re just as pretty as a lamp and boast all of the same benefits (albeit on a smaller scale), but without the problems inherent to

By Sarah Chaffee On this episode of ID the Future, bioethicist Wesley J. Smith speaks with host Dean Abbott about the arrival of human cloning. While significant barriers remain that will slow its development as far as human-cloned babies and adults, ethical constraints still depend only on scientists’ restraint — a “thin reed to stand on.” Human cloning research is underway even now, under cover of scientific jargon to obscure what’s going on, Smith says.

By Sharon Thomas, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Let’s be clear about one thing: gut health matters, in more ways than we can often imagine. Obviously, a healthy digestive system is important – in order to digest food properly and to absorb nutrients efficiently. But, you also want things running smoothly since gut health is closely tied to the strength of our immune system. In other words, a sick gut usually ends up making a sick body and mind. As a side note, often overlooked by too many healthcare providers, we must never forget that an unhealthy digestive …read more Source: Natural

By Lindsay Sheehan A sad, but true, fact of human existence is the inevitability that our minds will decline as we age. Over the course of our lives, our cognitive abilities peak, plateau, and eventually begin to dip as we reach certain age milestones; for example, processing speed begins to decrease in our late teen years, visual working memory peaks in our mid-30s, and yet our vocabulary continues to climb in our 60s and beyond. Although keeping physically active, socializing with friends and family, and engaging in intellectually stimulating activities like reading and puzzles are among the ways to keep
