The next best thing to knowing something is knowing where to find it.-Samuel Johnson

I believe that knowledge is a gift. There is so much free information now available to us. We just have to go out there and find it! Learning keeps us young! It is not hard to eat healthy foods and get healthy exercise tips if you know where to look for reliable information.

One of my favorite blogs right now (other than my beloved website: RayPeat.com) is Marshmallow by Angela Desz . Marshmallow (LOVE THE NAME!) lists many of Dr. Raymond Peat’s articles and interviews and makes it possible for all of us to access this information (pretty awesome!). Angela has done such a great job organizing Ray Peat’s work. You can spend days on her blog (weeks) reviewing all of Ray’s ideas (and hearing Dr. Peat’s voice). I just can’t thank Angela enough for creating this library for all of us.

All of the blogs (and forums) I list below are places on the internet that I will visit whenever I have a free moment. They are loaded with GREAT information! If I have spare time over this winter break, I will surely be sipping eggnog, kicking back, and reading all the new information that is posted on these sites.

Each blog (and forum) that I list is unique and has its own perspective on nutrition, exercise, and health. Ray Peat inspires me and (I believe) all of the writers of these sites. However, as we are all different… each person has their own unique way of interpreting and incorporating Ray’s ideas. That is what makes life interesting! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
