Are sunscreens really necessary?

Are sunscreens really necessary?

Now that summer is upon us, warnings are everywhere telling people to “Avoid direct sunlight” and “Don’t go outside without sunscreen!”
So, many people dutifully slather themselves up before they dare set foot outside.

Study: Orange juice causes cancer?

Study: Orange juice causes cancer?

It seems every time I look at headline news, I feel like I’m reading the National Enquirer. 

Sensationalism.  Drama.  Fear-mongering.  Exaggeration.  And extremely one-sided, slanted reporting.

What Americans 50 and over need to know

May is “Older Americans Month.”

A sneaky cause of major health issues

A sneaky cause of major health issues

If you went to the doctor and reported having insomnia, you’d probably walk out with a prescription for sleeping pills.
Or if you mentioned feeling depressed, you may get an antidepressant.
If you complained about indigestion, acid reducers may be in your future.
But there is a common underlying cause for all of these health issues (and many more) that NONE of the prescription drugs in the world can touch—and in many cases they make things worse.
Hormonal imbalances!
Here’s why hormones can make or break you in terms of health.

Have you had this important test done yet?

Have you had this important test done yet?

When it comes to assessing how healthy you are, certain test numbers come into play including: Blood pressure, Cholesterol, Triglycerides, Blood glucose and BMI.  But arguably one of the most telling numbers with respect to your level of health (or lack thereof) is something that isn’t even routinely tested or discussed.
