I’ve been walking cardiovascularly – is that a word? – for years now and I find it the most exhilarating, the cheapest, the most convenient [...] I read this morning in NOW Foods’ weekly newsletter that melatonin is lacking in breast cancer patients. Melatonin is the hormone produced by the pineal gland, that pine-shaped gland of little known function that resides deep inside our brains. René Descartes called the pineal gland “the seat of the soul,” describing it as the site [...] I attended a great workshop with Swami Gajanand of Yoga in Daily Life in early May.
