Hi all

Here are a couple of websites I just came across I thought I would share:

http://www.gimme20.com

This is basically a community based forum but I have noticed there are a lot of fitness professionals on it to offer their advice too.


https://www.healthatoz.com

(I thought this one in particular was good because you can calculate your food pyramid and calculate if you are getting enough calcium and what your risk is for a heart attack. The stuff is pretty interesting. This is their spiel:
