Anyone else got any comments for this?

[S0rath 0f the Black Sun]

Just a suggestion though, if you can change the heading, I think it'll be a lot less vague if you put the title as "The Helpful Sites List for healthy living & lifestyle". I honestly came here under the impression that you'd give basic tips for living and lifestyle and wasn't expecting a list of websites of healthy living and lifestyle.

Medically specific sites:
Accurate and detailed listing of medications:
http://www.rxlist.com/
http://www.drugs.com/

Up to date medical issues and articles made by doctors and experts for the average joe:
http://www.webmd.com/

Thank you kindly for your comments, I will add those sites now. Thank you!

You're welcome. 5 Stars.

PS: I think self-motivation websites would also be a meaningful addition to the list, after all, where the mind goes, the body, and mental hygiene is also a factor in health as well as sanitation and physical health. Just an idea though.

Yeh that's a great suggestion. I will see if I can find some good ones.
