Excellent advice, to which I like to add: Eating raw vegetables keeps your tooth clean.
It prevents buildup from plaque. Don't eat bread, it has almost no nutritional value and is the main cause for plaque (only starch and cellulose, the nutrients are mainly while in the wheatgerm, which is removed from your wheat kernel and processed separately)

It actually disgusts me to see the lack of
reaction to this by the American people.
This is not okay! If anybody inside the military is brought up on sexual charges they must be immediately investigated and excused from duty pending investigation.

Yeah that is right government. You ought to
do your job. Girls and men are coming forward a
lot more and more. What's it planning to get? Girls soldiers violated by their very own command. Raped by their own company personnel. Shame? on you The united states!

I admire anyone who can operate at all. 5K, 10K,
Marathon or anything I'm always impressed. I will have to think regarding the operating on tired legs principle but I am not an expert by any means when it comes to operating.
