I love giving out helpful sites that I have found online. Information leads to knowledge and knowledge leads to motivation. If one or any of these sites help you in any way to get healthy, then putting time in this blog is worth it. It is still in its infancy, but when it comes to health, it must last a lifetime.
Find your limitless potential at Live Strong. A site with tips, articles, tools and resources to get in shape and shape a healthy lifestyle.
Set your goals and meet your motivator.
In a mobile world, there's apps for your health and fitness life.
I'd be a hypocrite if I thought I had all the answers. There is a load of health information out there.
Health resources and information can be found here.
Here are 15 popular health sites.
I am shocked, truly shocked to see great health sites put out by the government. Loaded with information and resources for health.
If you need answers about cancer go here. If you want answers about your heart go here. Both sites are loaded with information and resources on health.
For the ladies and their health goals.
Do you know your risk to develop diseases? Here you can find out and work to prevent it.
I would think that Healthlinks speaks for itself.
Although there are sites that sell products, you can't get this many health links of information.
As if these aren't enough, here's a bonus!

For The Health Of It!
We are on the cutting edge of health research and information is ever changing. This is the purpose of an entry with a variety of topics. Oh, and we have links, too!
I have always believed that milk consumption should be limited once you pass the age of 12. This is just my opinion. I feel any dairy after that age should be limited to yogurt and dairy. I am lactose intolerant but can consume cheeses and yogurts without a problem. New research proves me right, but since kids don't eat kale, low-fat milk is the alternative. Keep in mind that milk can be high in cholesterol(Remember most people consume more than one serving).
In case you haven't noticed, on the left side of the above site, there are other health related links. This story about bookworms and Alzheimer's caught my eye.
I found an impressive site of information that comes from, of all things, the government. The FDA has links and resources that are informative and health related.
During the cold and flu season I try to limit my gym time. Why? Because it seems that some people go to the gym when they are sick, instead of curing what ails them. Although exercise can help beat what ails you, it can't cure what you already have.
Eat Right has eating and cooking tips and other resources for a healthy diet. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics will guide you through reading labels and cooking healthy meals through a variety of resources.
SuperTracker is another interesting government site. It tracks both your nutrition and exercise, and has nutrition information of over 8000 foods that it lets you compare side-to-side.
Do you think that you will live to be 100 and beyond? Answer a 40 questions and find out if you will and what you need to do to get there.
Here are some calculators that are useful and may be life saving.
If you need to find a specific doctor or specialist in your area, HealthGrades finds the best in your area.
Useful sites to map your routine can be found at MapMyRun, MapMyHike, MapMyRide, and MapMyWalk. There are paid plans, but there is free, too!
Summer Tomato is a blog on making healthy meals become delicious!
In a world gone mad and full of stress and anxiety, Zen Habits just might help you calm the beast within.

Health Journal 1
Since this blog is still in an experimental stage, it will be changing and evolving in many ways and in many directions. I am thinking of starting a health journal entry either monthly or bi-monthly. It will include a variety of health topics rather than just one and it will include featured sites for your health.
Even with all the breakthroughs and information we have about cancer, we are still surrounded by myths that people are buying into. At one time, even I believed that a man couldn't get breast cancer. Never fear because there are ways to prevent cancer.
~~~~~~~~~~
Suicide rates are on the rise in the USA, but Greenland is the suicide capital of the world. Here are some resources for suicide prevention.
~~~~~~~~~~
MNT, Medical News Today, has the most popular health news articles of the year. This may be news you missed or hasn't reached your news outlets, yet. Here is something that would affect my area, but I've only heard of the Lyme disease spread by ticks.
~~~~~~~~~~
There are 4 aspects in life that would make you live a healthy lifestyle. You need money for your finances, people for your social life, play to enjoy a physical life, and health for the overall well being of your life. Although the site is powered by Humana, My Well-Being is a fun and informative site that takes the 4 aspects to easy ways to improve your overall health. They have a section for recommended books and some, especially the For Dummies series, for free. They mail you an issue just for joining.
~~~~~~~~~~
Alzheimer's will become an epidemic soon, unless we do what we can to avoid it. Luminosity has the best exercises for your brain. Here are other ways to help fight Alzheimer's.
~~~~~~~~~~
When it comes to healthy eating, one of my favorites nutrition for health is the G-BOMBS diet. Greens, Beans, Onions, Mushrooms, Berries and Seeds are a powerhouse combination, and you should strive for at least three of them everyday.
~~~~~~~~~~
When it comes to healthy recipes, making healthy out of trash, making healthy delicious, etc., Dr. Oz, leads the way.
~~~~~~~~~~
Working out is hard to do, but you need to do it. You need to establish a workout routine so find one here, here and here, also here, and finally here.
~~~~~~~~~~
It's summer and the Farmer's Markets are in full swing, so you can buy healthy at a reasonable price. Find one near you. Here's another one.
