well, the yolk contains all of the vitamins, minerals, and the lecithin mentioned earlier.

lecithin works as a fat emulsifier- that being that it breaks down fat and cholesterol to be used properly (rather than deposited on the arteries).

the yolks contain it, so all of the cholesterol garbage that was spewn forth about eggs several years ago is not only no longer considered vogue by mainstream nutrition, but research has shown that eating 3 whole eggs per day had no negative effect on cholesterol.

now, i would opt (and do) for the omega 3, free-range, organic eggs when possible. cost is a prohibitive factor, but if you can swing it, these eggs will offer a superior source of protein and vital nutrients.

and i am sorry, since this is a site about herbal teas, i seem to be in love lately with roobisos red teas...a little milk and honey (or stevia), and this is my little tea nirvana.

I am a HUGE tea fan since I quit drinking coffee. Everyone thinks I'm crazy because I have all these boxes of Celestial Seasonings tea stacked up on my desk. My favorites are the fruity herbal teas: True Blueberry, Tangerine Orange (YUM), Cranberry Apple, and Raspberry Zinger.

I found that it's not the coffee I was missing, it was the cup of hot liquid in my hand while sitting at my desk that I craved.

Yes, exercise does help anxiety. I exercise every day. I'm even working with a trainer for the weights because I hate doing them. But at night, when I want to wind down, I found that this whole herbal tea thing works well. Especially the sleepytime tea. Since most of us start having anxiety when we are trying to wind down, I found that these teas really work. I don't take medication. I got myself off all of that (will be a year in February 09) so I have to have something.

Healthy eating, exercise, positive thinking, and herbal tea. That's my recipe.

Thanks Paul R...
