| Did you know? An insulin spike is followed 30-60 mins later by an adrenaline spike. This is how the body deals with the insulin spike. That's why 'children' who eat lots of sugary food often end up fighting and out of control - it's the adrenaline! Tip Credibility: 25 |
| Get some organic wheat, and soak the daily serving in fresh water, rainwater if possible. Soak for 12-24 hrs, as if you were sprouting them. Rinse and feed to the chickens. Sprouted wheat has 6x the vitamin & enzyme value of dry grain. Makes tastier meat. Tip Credibility: 65 |

| Just be honest and admit you need to eat less. Then eat less: smaller meals, no snacks, have some fresh fruit every day, and a sald every day. Walk more, drink less or no alcohol, less sitting down watching rubbish on TV with so many food and drink ads. Tip Credibility: 34 |

| Have a hot bath, then have your partner give you a good lower-back massage, including the buttocks, where the sciatic nerves run. Use a deep-heat oil or liniment to warm the muscles. Then try sleeping on your side with legs tucked up to align the spine. Tip Credibility: 14 |

| Sit up straight and never sit with your legs crossed, as this twists the pelvis and puts pressure on the sciatic nerve. You'll notice this if you cross your legs the other way - the pain/discomfort should change sides, or reduces on the initial side. Tip Credibility: 18 |
