My friend and I were texting each other the other night and I was so deep into the conversation (I have a severe problem of this!) that I didn't realize my rice was burning on the stove. As funny as it is to burn rice she was not surprised by me at all. She just laughed and asked if the rice that I was cooking was some sort of "special" rice because it took about an hour to make. After what I learned later today I did actually consider rice "special".

Recently I started an organic only diet, promising myself that I would get back down to the weight that I used to be. Because I'm new with this dieting thing and don't really know all the ins and outs of the proper ways of dieting I couldn't think of any food besides vegetables that would be considered "diet" food. Trying to be creative and all I decided to go with whatever food came to me first.

Lately I've been experiencing the worst headaches. But I'm not really into over-the-counter medications so I researched other alternatives for remedies and quick cures. Standing in the check out line at Whole Foods, I noticed an article featured on the cover of Pilates Style Magazine (Headaches? make 'em history) and decided to read it.

According to the National Headache Foundation (NHF) 45 million Americans get chronic, recurring headaches. Headaches are defined as pain ranging from mild throbbing to excruciating agony above the eyes, ears, back and bottom of the skull or back of the upper neck. Treatments can be over-the-counter medications, acupuncture, biofeedback, dietary restrictions and herbs. A tool that is gaining recognition for its power to tame headaches is Pilates, which increases awareness, relax neck muscles, mobility of the spine, oxygenate cells and reduces stress. Ninety-eight percent of all headaches fall into one of three types: tension, migraine or cluster.

"There's a wealth of natural, soothing remedies and preventive steps for headaches that are highly effective and can be used alone or in combination with conventional medical care," says Deborah Mitchell, coauthor of The Natural Health Guide to Headache Relief.  The following list of suggestions is supported by experts and scientific studies, but as always, consult your medical practitioner before taking any remedies, natural or prescription.
