Do you take fish oil? Here’s 12 reasons why you should!
A study was recently conducted by researchers out of Harvard that determined a group of 12 risk factors that were considered preventable causes of death. Unsurprisingly, high blood pressure and smoking were ranked right up at the top. But coming in at a significant number 6 was an Omega-3 fatty acid deficiency!

What the media won’t tell you about sunscreens
It has been said that there are two certainties in life—death and taxes. I’ll add one more onto that—the fact that advertising works. Very well.

How to have younger-looking skin (without Botox)
I once spoke at a “Healthy Living” event that I will never forget because most everything I saw around me was anything BUT healthy. The exhibit hall was filled with displays of muscle-building (yet very processed) foods, drink powders (that hinted at being a substitute for a healthy diet of fruits and vegetables), fad diet shakes and pills, and most significantly…LOTS of people (mainly women) who have obviously had several Botox treatments.
