This last Tuesday I wanted to continue with the Top 10 Tuesday that Matt brought over from HowIWillBeRich.com, but instead got a little bogged down with the amount of work and school I had put on me. Now I’ll make it up with the Top 10 being moved to Thursday for this week, woo hoo! Here are the 10 health blog posts that caught my eye over this past week that I’d like to share with you all. Check out all of the sites and enjoy!

Over at The Final Sprint I stumbled upon a really interesting podcast with Dean Karnazes. He is an avid runner that has authored The Ultra-Marathon Man. His words of inspiration speak to everyone, not just the runners out there!
Her Active Life discusses the The Science of Sleeping Pills. This article was interesting because it pointed many concerns with these pills. Many of us will use these from time to time, so read this before popping another one.
There are some really profound food tips over at Diethack in the article, How To Prepare A Healthy Family Meal. Since there are so many conflicting dietting tips out there, it’s very difficult to know which one to belive. This article lays out the basics so you know where to start before jumping into that next crazy diet.
The folks at HealthMad are discussing the importances of spices in your diets in the article, Spice Your Day to a Healthier Life. Check this one out and see how spices are just as, or even more important than all of those highly-expensive organic foods.
Live Life…Organics & Your Health shows you a snap shot of how benefitial having fish around can be. Check out this quick read, Fishes Are Therapeutic, and see how these little guys can brighten up your day. I bet all of us could use them from time to time!
I found a catchy little poem at The Diet Pulpit that easily sticks in your head. See for yourself at Dieter’s Manifesto and see if these clever words can help you before your next snack craving.
There’s a great article at Ririan Project called 10 Big Lessions from Little Kids that is sure to take you back. It points out the smarts that our youth has that we tend to overlook as we get older. See what you’ve been missing for so many years…
I have always had one of my friends tell me that soccer is the best sport in the world. Now, he can also tell me it’s a better workout than the running I love to do. Check it all out at He’s Fit in the post, Soccer Is Better Exercise Than Jogging.
Spine-Health.com points out some great tips we forget during our hussle and bustle while traveling in their article, 29 Best Travel Tips for Your Aching Back.
I enjoy reading about different cultures, so I thought A Peek Into The Swahili Way of Life at Nurture Your Own was an awesome little picture. It’s interesting to see the huge differences in diets in America and the rest of the world. It almost seems like we try to eat like cultures such as this while shopping at natural food stores and searching for the most organic selections.
