Is Absinthe Dangerous?

Absinthe is a high-proof herbal liquor that was illegal in the United States and in much of Europe for decades but is now making a comeback. The drink, which originated in Switzerland, is made from the flowers and leaves of the herb Artemisia absinthium, better known as wormwood.

Green Your Water Bottle

Things to keep in mind when looking for a green water bottle:

1. Make sure your bottle is BPA free. This pesky chemical is in no way green, and is potentially harmful to your health. It's too bad, really—it's even in the hiker's favorite canteen: the Nalgene bottle. To be extra careful, buy a stainless steel bottle to avoid BPA. If you can find a BPA-free bottle lying around from a sporting event or something, use that, but it might be hard to find an older BPA-free bottle (it's a realatively new concern).


2. Absolutely no bottled water. I may have already made this clear, but just in case...


3. Buy a durable bottle that will withstand multiple uses. This is especially true if you're an athlete, and you're going to be using your bottle during rigorous activities. Canteens like the Kor One Water Bottle are good options for such purposes—this one even boasts an easy-action flip top for quick access.

Blueberries -- Antioxidant Superfood!

EAT YOUR BLUEBERRIES!

Packed with antioxidants and phytoflavinoids, these berries are also high in potassium and vitamin C, making them the top choice of doctors and nutritionists. Not only can they lower your risk of heart disease and cancer, they are also anti-inflammatory.

When selecting berries, note that the darker they are, the more anti-oxidants they have. Everyone should have a serving about 1/2 cup or more every day.

Remember that, in general, the more color the fruit has, the more antioxidants.

Freeze bluberries for a great snack when you have a sugar craving...
