But before dismissing the idea completely, how many times have you said “I would do anything for a good night’s sleep” recently? “Often associated with bustling, connected cities like Stockholm and Gothenberg, come winter Sweden embraces its sleepy side and is inviting visitors to do the same,” Lizzie Enfield writes for @BBCNews. Read about the country's more natural approach to sleep tourism.

Scientists have developed a cancer vaccine that can deliver treatments more effectively in people who have brain cancer and teach their immune systems to fight back. They’ve tested it successfully in four people now, and are moving on to more testing.

It was the clear-liquids-only colonoscopy prep process that my mother dreaded and which led her to delay these screenings.

By the time her colon cancer was found, she was stage 4, and died a year and a half later.

I should remember Fenugreek seeds/powder is a really healthy spice with various unique qualities that simply 'healthy eating' do not replace. Muscular health & training, #CardioVascularDisease, #diabetes, hearing, #endothelial function all sorts of benefits.

I can totally blend in the taste by mixing it up with a load of other spices, herbs, chili whatever and making a cooking mix (here is about 3 days worth) with around 5g fenugreek seeds per day.
