WordPress is the blogging platform of choice for many bloggers and online entrepreneurs. Every few weeks or months when WordPress users log into their blogs, they're greeted with a notice telling them that they should upgrade to the latest and greatest version. Some users upgrade right away, others wait a few weeks, and some wait for a long time, anywhere from months to years, to apply the changes. Is an upgrade worthwhile? Yes! Each new version of WordPress contains improvements and fixes over previous versions. Should an upgrade be done right away? Ideally, yes. BUT before you click the upgrade button, you need to read a few Dos and Don'ts to make sure that the process goes as smoothly as possible...

Instances of food intolerances have become more common in our modern society. One intolerance that many people suffer from is yeast intolerance. Yeast naturally grows in your intestinal tract along with other micro-organisms. Normally the yeast population in your gut is kept down by the bacteria it shares the space with. If something happens to decrease that bacterial population then the yeast has room to multiply. The bacteria in your digestive tract can die from taking a course of antibiotics, taking birth control pills, illness or injury. In order to heal your digestive system and cure your yeast intolerance you need to kill off the excess yeast in your gut and replace it with friendly bacteria...

Aquavit Aquavit, genever, gin, and whiskey (or whisky as the Canadians and Scots spell it), as well as vodka and the unflavored German schnapps called korn, are all part of the extended family of grain-based spirits. Except for whiskey and korn, whose compositions are strictly controlled by legislation, these potent drinks can also contain so-called agricultural alcohol made from molasses, potatoes, and other ingredients. The name of this strong Scandinavian spirit is derived from the Latin vitae (water of life), and was once the designation for all liquor. The basis of the pale or golden-yellow aquavit is very pure, almost nil-less alcohol distilled from grain or potatoes with 96 percent alcohol by...

What the heck is a heel spur and how do I end up with one? I have heard doctors and patients talk about heel spurs, but I have never known exactly what it is. I checked it out and a heel spur is actually a hook of bone. That hook forms on the bone of the heel and then in turn causes pain by inflaming the plantar fascia which is tissue in the arch of the foot. However, though one often causes the other, be careful not to confuse heel spurs with plantar fasciitis. We are most susceptible to heel spurs in our middle age years. Generally they are found in those with a history of foot pain that comes from plantar fasciitis. They are also most often found in middle-aged men and women. However, bone spurs...

More than one million people are diagnosed with cancer in the United States each year. The link between diet and cancer is not new. In January of 1892, Scientific American printed the observation that "cancer is most frequent among those branches of the human race where carnivorous habits prevail." Numerous research studies have since shown that cancer is much more common in populations consuming diets rich in fatty foods, particularly meat, and much less common in countries with diets rich in grains, vegetables, and fruits. One reason is that foods affect the action of hormones in the body. They also affect the strength of the immune system. While fruits and vegetables contain a variety of vitamins...

Here are a few of the health benefits of going on a grain free diet: Lose Weight Losing the grains is a great and easy way to lose the weight. Grains are high in carbohydrate, which triggers high insulin levels in your blood when eaten.

In addition, when you eat grains, they tend to trigger cravings for sweets and for more grains. The more you eat, the more you want. The first couple of days without grains are the hardest, but if you eat plenty of...
