Sweet article from nyt about Li Na! I'm a fan. Break the mold!

Don't take Ibu! or what we used to call candy / Vitimin I on our rugby team haha. I've heard it from the Romero's (Paul, Jordan), and here it is again! Adverse health effects include Anemia, hearing loss, hypertension, miscarriage, and more. Alternatives:

• Ginger capsules
• Chinese skullcap / baicalin
• omega-3 fatty acids
• panax ginseng
• holy basil

and more! they can be equivalent or better at reducing pain and inflammation.

I can't help but thinking of that scene in She's the Man when Viola says to Duke, "I can relate!" in a super bro-y tone.
