That's an awesome list.

What order should the items be listed in, though? I felt it was a bit strange to have "A general feeling of wellbeing" located where it is.

Since physical issues tend to be the most potentially 'permanent' or 'constantly there' in peoples' lives, maybe it would be best to list the physical stuff first and then move onto the more potentially ephemeral benefits - I think the list would pack more of a punch in that way. I think people are more impressed with more tangible glaringly apparent physically testable results and if they don't have time to read the whole list, at least they will take away something more irrefutable than 'it makes people feel happier' (which is testable and impressive in itself, but more complex in it's testing and manifestation it seems).

The order was just tapped out at random yesterday. I'll re-arrange it soon. It's so good to have this forum to feedback on the way that the site is constructed. Thanks everyone.
