Z-coil Shoes

People keep asking me about my “funny shoes” and this is where I direct them. I bought two pair of Z-coil shoes in August 2008 and since then rarely wear anything else. Great back and arch support, and for the first time in a long time, I can spend the entire day on my feet and not be all bent over and sore at the end of a seminar. I highly recommend these shoes for anyone who does a lot of standing or walking.

“Busting the 8-hour Sleep Myth: Why You Should Wake up in the Night”

A very interesting article on insomnia. It seems as though “bi-phasic sleep” (waking in the middle of the night and then going back to sleep again after some time) is more natural than I realized. Kind of reassuring, as this has been my pattern for years. It’s still inconvenient to be up in the middle of the night, especially if I have to be up early the next day, but this article shares a perspective I hadn’t seen elsewhere.

Dr. Mercola’s Web site

A wealth of information on all sorts of things that impact our health and well-being, including nutrition, dental health, disease prevention, weight management, exercise, cautions about certain pharmaceuticals, alternative healing, and the impact of chemicals and toxins in our food and water. Heavy on information, light on sales (although he does have some supplements and resources available from time to time). Sign up for his newsletter. It’s extremely informative and a great resource.
