What Is ...?

"What is anti-oxidant?" Or "homocysteine?"
Why do I need to know these words?
Find out here.

"What is anti-oxidant?"  "What is homocysteine?"  "What is glycemic index?"  "How do these things affect my health?"  These are among many big words and questions you will come across on your journey to a new you.

You need to know the answers to these in order for your journey to be more meaningful and lasting.  A few minutes reading and understanding them will take you a long way.

I told you from the beginning that I will hold your hand in your journey so I present you the answers here.  You probably never bothered to find out what all these big words mean because they sounded so "technical".  I've been there, and I know exactly how you feel.  I used to feel that way too.

I have bought and read so many books about all these things that I never bothered about.  They all seem so foreign to me at first, but as I continue to read and further did my own research, all these things begin to start falling into place.

I begin to have a bigger picture of what keeps our total well-being, err ... well.  I don't claim to know it all.  I am not a doctor, but the knowledge is sufficient to keep me away from the doctor for a long time now.

I will attempt to expand on all the big words here, in an as easy-to-understand manner as possible.  I will also throw in some curious questions that you may come across as you poke around on this site.

Bear with me as I keep adding the questions here.  Acquiring knowledge is a never ending process.  Subscribe to my RSS Feed (see XML/RSS box on the top left margin of this page) so that you will be notified each time I post a page.  You will need to download an RSS reader ... it's pretty cool, try it.
