Golden Retriever Puppy Training

I want to take a break from the normal health related writings I do today. I am an avid dog lover and at this point I have four dogs ranging from just under 10 years old to less than one year old. Knowing how to train your dog or puppy is one of the most important thing any dog owner can know. I want to mention a great Golden Retriever puppy training program I came across.

The Secrets to Dog Training is the program I am talking about. It has helped thousands of people get the dog of their dreams. The program can be downloaded immediately which means you don't even have to go to the pet store or book store. The program has a money back guarantee so you don't have to pay if it doesn't work. With a deal like this, what do you have to lose. Just visit KDMGermanShepherds.com if you want to learn more.

I typically write about health topics so I want to mention a couple good health related articles I have come across: Acai Berry Canada and the Best Hemorrhoid Cream at SassafrasStation.com.

Genetics Test Helps Predict Weight-Loss Success, Study Says - WSJ.com

If  you have ever tried a tried and true diet only to get no results, you know it can be extremely frustrating to follow a diet that seems to work for everybody else, but not you.  Well, there is good news.  It may not be your fault.  Research is showing that certain people may have a genetic predisposition to certain types of diets.

In a study I read about at WSJ.com, a group of women were studied while on a low carb diet.  The women that had a genetic predisposition to this type of diet lost a whole lot of weight more than those without this particular genetic trait.

Check out this excerpt from the article then click the link at the bottom to check out the whole thing.

In a study involving 133 overweight women, those with a genetic predisposition to benefit from a low-carbohydrate diet lost 2 1/2 times as much weight as those on the same diet without the predisposition. Similarly, women with a genetic makeup that favored a low-fat diet lost substantially more weight than women who curbed fat calories without low-fat genes. The women were followed for a year.

Acai Berry Questions

Acai berry health supplements and advertisements for them are all over the place in anything that is related to personal health or weight loss. You see them talked about on TV, written about in books, and on more websites than you could possibly count. What you often find missing is some answers to some very simple questions about the acai berry so my goal is to attempt to change that.

Will the Acai Berry Help Me Lose Weight
You will find a lot of advertisements and websites out there saying the acai berry will help you lose 30 pounds in in a few weeks. Unfortunately, these advertisements are usually not straight forward if not down right untruthful. The acai berry can help you be healthier and get rid of cellulite, but they will not melt fat off like liposuction so be leary of anything that looks too good to be true because it probably is.

Can You Buy Acai Berry in Stores
The simple answer is yes, you are physically able to buy acai berry health supplements in many stores. However, you don’t really want to. Most supplements that you get at Walmart or a grocery store are very low quality. They may be half the price of good supplements, but they aren’t any good and usually are a complete waste of money. You may be able to find good acia berry juices at a grocery store because they are getting more common, but these juices are usually more expensive when you look at the serving size compared to other supplements.

Where Can You Purchase Acai Berry Juice
There are several good places you can order acai berry juice from. A company called Amazon Thunder is one of the best. They have a concentrated acai berry puree that has a one ounce serving size. The bottle will last you 32 days if you have one serving a day. The juice you buy at Walmart is usually 8 ounces per servings so you have to buy 8 bottles to get the same number of servings. Even if it is the same quality (which it usually isn’t), it will usually cost you more to buy 8 bottles than one good one.

What are some Acai Berry Canada (or other country) Distributors
There are a lot of acai berry distributors out there. As mentioned above, Amazon Thunder is one of the top suppliers of acai berry products. Another supplier is called Sambazon and they do sell products at major grocery stores. If you are looking specifically for country specific suppliers, don’t worry. Most of the top companies ship their products around the world.

I hope this answers some of your questions.
