I have read several times that we use up fewer calories while watching television than by doing nothing at all - like lying down and watching the ceiling!

Feng Shui (pronounced "Fung Schway") is a Chinese art that is over 3,000 years old. The words Feng Shui literally translates into "wind water" but the concept is difficult to explain in a brief sentence when we are talking about Feng Shui in our homes - as Feng Shui incorporates everything from simplicity to organisation, to placement, to shape, to direction. Feng Shui brings balance in nature and balance to our relationship with nature. It teaches us how to live with the energy and life that surrounds us.

One in every 12 American teens (about 2.1 million) ages 12 to 17 experienced major depression in the past year, according to a report released Tuesday by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.

There was a large gender difference, with 12.7 percent of females and 4.6 percent of males reporting major depression. It's defined as a period of two weeks or longer of depressed mood or loss of interest or pleasure, and at least four other symptoms -- such as problems with sleep, energy, concentration and self-image -- reflecting a change in functioning.

Does anyone have any (legal) ideas on how to boost your energy? I exercise, eat well, manage stress, etc. Have tried Vitamn B, but didn't have any luck with that either. Other than drinking an obscene amount of coffee, can anyone offer any tips?
