SPRING-CLEAN YOUR BODY SAFELY
Ditch the diuretics and prep your body the healthy way


If you’re thinking of going on a detox diet to prep your body for spring, you may want to think again. Seven days of clean living won’t magically undo the rest of the year (nor will it rid your body of all its toxins), and the diets may be dangerous—here’s why.

That doesn’t mean that tuning up your body in time for spring is a bad idea—use the opportunity to spring-clean your eating and your exercise routine for a full-time healthy lifestyle. Succeed and you’ll only need to spring-clean the garage next year.

Start with your cabinets: Use smart swaps from Eat This, Not That! to trade in high-fat, high-calorie cookies, crackers, and other prepared foods for smarter choices that will jumpstart your weight loss.

Add spring colors to meals to add muscle and lose weight: Replace white foods—made with refined flour, refined sugar, or mayo—with color-rich reds, greens, yellows, and oranges. Colorful foods pack powerful nutrients, like the red lycopene found in tomatoes and red peppers.

Freshen your fitness, too. If you’ve been away from the gym, get back on board with the surprising results of a bodyweight routine—try this one for the ultimate at-home workout. If you’ve already been at the gym, refresh your stale routine with a free workout download. Or loosen your joints and muscles for spring sports by adding flexibility exercises from our Yoga Center—these 10 poses are the best for men.

I don't know whats going on, things was going fine, then I lost one of my friends, he was a sweet guy, but I don't regret he is not in my life again, he still alive, i mean he is not my friend anymore.

There is a very nice handsome guy in this small world, I didn't meet him in person, but i love him as a friend or my young brother, but i really care about him, i heard a bad news from him, couldn't help my self for 3 days after the bad news, i felt so weak and helpless. even the people who didn't know me well, they give me hugs and tried to make me smile, somehow people see in my eyes when i am happy or sad. But ...

I don't wana sound so drama, but i just want to say that i wish i can do something for my self to feel happy again, to make him feel happy. I think I will go eat a dark chocolate bar, this will make me happy.

Should California Legalize Marijuana?

A California lawmaker is causing a stir with his contention that his state should legalize marijuana for recreational use. (FYI: Medical marijuana has been legal in California since 1996.)

"I'm a martini guy myself," Assemblyman Tom Ammiano, who introduced a bill to legalize pot in the state this week, said at a press conference. "But I think it's time for California to…look at this in a truly deliberative fashion."

According to Ammiano, there are numerous benefits to his proposal, which would allow adults over 21 to grow, buy, sell and smoke pot. For starters, Ammiano claims that the move would cut drug use amongst teens, lower the costs of policing the state for marijuana and raise more than a billion dollars a year for California in the taxes and fees that would be gained from marijuana regulation.

I have a monster crush on you,
A super-dinosaur!
It sits upon my chest and throat
And yet I beg for more.

When you're away I miss you so
My heart is full of sand.
Yet when you're here my stupid fear
Won't let me touch your hand.

I cannot sleep, I cannot eat,
I'm so wrapped up in you.
My thoughts drift up, away from words,
And fade into the blue.

I know this crush is not your fault;
The dinosaur is mine.
Yet if you could, please rescue me,
And put your arms around me, and hold me, and say

you love me, and Oh! God! Would that be good!
