It’s Healthbolt Carnival Time.

It’s Healthbolt Carnival time again and it looks like a carnival mostly about nutrition and diet, with a few extras thrown in…. 

The Writer’s Coin tells us he recently registered for his first race in I Am Running an Urbanathlon, saying, ” It’s a ten-mile race with an obstacle course thrown in. Now I’m motivated to get in shape for it! Video of highlights included — it looks like it’ll be a blast!”

Sajid Surve from Brain Blogger asks Why Your City Planner Is Making You Fat saying “If we as Americans do one thing well, it’s gaining weight. The average United States household now spends roughly 8 hours a day with the television on. That being said, what if there was more to the story?”

ChristianPF from Christian Personal Finance Blog tells us How to make natural toothpaste finding it ‘cheap and easy to make your own!!’

MSC from Hypnosis Network Blog looks at A New Reason Why It is Harder NOT to Overeat as We Age, saying, “Discusses how free radicals may make it harder for us to stop eating.”

NAOMI from Diary From England looks at how BROCCOLI FIGHTS PROSTATE CANCER.

And Randy Powell from Eating-Veggies.com: Alkaline Diet blog looks at Turmeric: Miracle superfood?.

Joel Gray of Health Tips 101, meanwhile, reports Herbal Cancer Treatments A Boost To Your Cancer Fighting System.

Stephen from Balanced Existence suggests The Best Diet for You, saying, “There are thousands upon thousands of books on the subject of diet. Browse through the internet and there is a staggering array of conflicting advice. This plethora of information has lead to confusion and frustration for those seeking the path to physical health and wellbeing. To make matters worse it has been shown that those who diet and fail regain more weight then they actually lost. The effect on health of a wildly fluctuating body weight and dietary intake is not good to say the least. Can there possibly be a solution to this problem that is plaguing so many?”

Joshua Seth presents a Natural Weight Loss Lifestyle Tip saying, “Do you compare yourself to the people around you? Most people do. As obesity becomes more widespread in our society being overweight is becoming the norm.”

Eden Danielson from eDetoxify.com writes about how Oprah Completes Her 21-Day Cleanse, saying it’s not an easy thing to do and suggests you use your own judgment in order to determine if this is the right thing for you.

Anyone considering a cleansing diet might want to read Peter Murphy’s from Get Motivated Stay Motivated post about 5 Powerful Motivation Techniques that Work Like Magic first.

Meanwhile Sandra Ahten from Sandra Ahten presents The Reasonable Diet saying, “Learn How can we make healthier dieting and weight control a source of pleasure instead of duty? How can we, as Thoreau suggests, take it upon ourselves and bring happiness to this area of our lives?”

Petra Ioni from Fountia suggests that the Low Carb Diet Weight Loss Study Results Flawed?, saying, “Playing devil’s advocate to the Atkins dieters spin on this recent study.”

But it’s not all about food and diet. Lazy Man and Health provides pointers on How to Pick the Right Gym, saying, “Picking a gym is not always easy. Here are a few things to consider first.”

Grace R Young OT looks at the need for Rest, Pacing and Timing.

Dean Moyer from The Back Pain Blog looks at Microdiscectomy and Herniated Discs, saying, “The first step in any journey is to decide where you want to go. With that in mind, here is a simple overview of spinal anatomy as related to degenerative disc disease in, The First Step in Repairing Herniated Discs.”

Mike Wheeler from Brain Stimulant reports on Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, saying, “Deep TMS is a new way to non-invasively stimulate almost any area of the brain”
