Barnes & Noble NOOK Reading Devices

 

 

If you don’t own a NOOK you should. Having one has brought reading for fun back into my life and reduced stress in the process!

 

I got a NOOK for my birthday two years ago, and I immediately downloaded Volume I of The Complete Sherlock Holmes Collection. It had been about 4 years since I had read for leisure, and I decided it was time to start again, as I didn’t seem to have time for any other “hobbies.” Deciding to read something every night that was unrelated to school or work made a huge difference in my happiness and stress level. The new NOOK is cheaper than my old one was, plus it’s smaller and has more features. If you’re looking for a great gift (and you ARE allowed to give gifts to yourself), buy a NOOK and give the gift of a hobby & stress relief along with a really cool eReader!

 

More reasons why I think the NOOK is awesome:

•  NOOKbooks (ebooks) are way cheaper than the paperback or hardback copy
• You can take the little thing with you everywhere and have your entire library!
• The charge lasts forever (mine around 2 weeks, the new one around a month)
• Upload your own files, music, pictures, backgrounds, screen savers, etc….
• Search for specific words or phrases in books
• Get definitions for words you don’t know through the built-in Merrium-Webster Dictionary
• Skip to chapters and pages just like in a paperback

Visit the Supplements page to learn why you should take the four supplements listed below

FISH OIL

Here’s the deal: You will notice that the first two recommended Fish Oil supplements are quite pricey, while the third is quite not. This is an illusion. If you calculate your recommended dosage of fish oil as recommended on the Supplements page (you can do so by visiting www.whole9life.com/fish-oil), it should be between 1 and 10 for the first two supplements. When I calculated my daily dosage for the third, it came out at 45. You do the math, the choice is yours.

 

#1) Vital Nutrients Brand: Ultra Pure Fish Oil Liquid (4.55 grams)

 

This liquid fish oil is our #1 recommended Omega-3 Fats supplement for a couple of reasons:

• high concentration of EPA-DHA (2002mg/637mg) reduces the amount of supplement that is required to meet the daily recommended dosage
• swallowing liquid is a lot easier than swallowing a handful of capsules
• this is a MOLECULARLY DISTILLED, PHARMACEUTICAL GRADE fish oil supplement- it’s as clean as you can get.
• Requires refrigeration after opening (not necessarily a perk, but it tastes better cold anyways)

CLICK HERE to purchase it (selling for $51.70)

#2) Vital Nutrients Brand: Ultra Pure Fish Oil (60 Capsules)

 

• 360mg/240mg EPA-DHA content
• triple molecular distilled, pharmaceutical grade fish oil (the cleanest you can get)
• this is the same fish oil as the liquid supplement above BUT LESS CONCENTRATED, so you have to take more capsules to get the same benefits

#3) Carlson Labs: Super Omega-3 Gems Fish Oil (50 Capsules)

 

These fish oil soft gels are lesser grade than the Vital Nutrients options above, but have the best concentration I can seem to find for a lower grade option(1000mg/capsule).

 

• 330mg/220mg EPA-DHA content

VOLCANO Electronic Cigarettes: you get your nicotine but not the chemicals and tar

The advertisement says it best. If you’re a smoker, and aren’t considering or can’t quit yet, you can at least cut out most of the harmful ingredients in cigarettes by switching to electric cigarettes. We have seen the Volcano starter packs used first hand, by a smoker who went through a pack a day. He was so excited to have tasty flavored cigarettes, get his nicotine, and be able to smoke inside! You charge the pack overnight, and then the pack keeps your electric cigarette charged all day while you use it. Once you have used up a “filter” containing the flavor and nicotine, you simply unscrew it and replace it with a new filter of your choice out of your “pack.” They’re really quite cool, and without question a huge step up from cigarettes. Although smoking is not at all recommended or endorsed here at PrimalHealthyFit.com, if you can’t quit, at least switch.
