I have had terrible problems with my liver. I had hepatitis A when I was a kid, and even though I had a very mild case, it has continued to effect my liver. As a result I have never been able to drink much alcohol (1 beer has had me puking for hours the next day — ugg). As a result I am always interested in any info I find on the liver. Drinking kombucha regularly has greatly improved my liver. This article is reposted from www.hans.org and gives some really helpful tips on how you can tell if something is going on with your liver as well as a simple breathing exercise, dietary recommendations, exercise suggestions and more. Spring is a good time to pamper your liver. A big thanks to Dr. Steven K.H. Aung for this article.

I have mentioned my incredible, brilliant, creative and imaginative sister before in passing, but I haven't really expressed how much she means to me.

In the spring the birds feast on the sumac as there isn't much else available. We had a nest under our porch and at one point there were three adult robins feeding these babies, which I thought was pretty strange, but I saw them all at once with insects in their mouths headed for the nest so I wasn' ...
