Photo by Pankration On Tuesday June 24, 2008, in an article titledSleek suit swamps records, the Toronto Star reported on a new high-tech swim suit called the Speedo LZR Racer. This full-body suit apparently gives the swimmer a significant advantage by reducing drag. Sport is about reaching for the ultimate fitness of the body, mind and spirit.

But when swimmers use a high-tech fabric suit that costs $550 each, takes 15 minutes to put on, and only lasts for 4-5Read More →

In 1999, Going Natural published an article reviewing some little known research about the benefits of sun exposure. The article suggested that the advice and supporting research that told us to hide from the sun was very one-sided. It concluded that the sun had many health-giving benefits and that the advice being given a decade ago was probably an overreaction. In the ensuing years, we have been deluged by research studies on the benefits of vitamin D, also known as the sunshine vitamin. The evidence that staying out of the sun was bad advice is now overwhelming. In an April 28, 2007 article in theRead More →
