Always hungry? How to quiet your inner dinner bell
While most of us believe that hunger is our body’s way of telling us it needs food, there are other reasons why your inner dinner bell may be clanging.

The biggest (and most preventable) cause of disease
I had a conversation with an acquaintance who proudly told me that she was happy to be in good health in her late 50's. This is how she described "good health": Her cholesterol was under control with Lipitor Her blood pressure stayed right around 120/80 with atenolol Nexium kept her acid reflux at bay Metformin brought her A1C down to under 6% THAT'S good health? This woman is anything BUT healthy. What she has...
Another great reason to give up fast food
I live in Upstate NY, but I believe it’s safe to say that there is no shortage of long lines wrapped around the drive-thru windows of fast food restaurants anywhere in the world. Fair statement? I don’t care what time of day it is—every time I drive by McDonalds, Wendy’s or Burger King, there is a sea of cars waiting in line for their paper-wrapped offerings. It makes me a bit crazy when I...

The #1 reason we’re sick, fat and dying younger
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the US currently spends about $3.5 trillion every year on healthcare—that’s about two and one half times more per capita than any other developed nation. You’d think that would translate into 330 million healthy citizens, but you would be wrong. Americans are getting sicker and fatter by the day, and rank an alarming 49th in the world for life expectancy! There are many factors...
Why you should always choose butter over margarine
At a recent holiday luncheon at my church, I was quickly reminded that the average person is still completely clueless about fats, particularly as they pertain to butter versus margarine. We had Italian food catered, and there was a bowl of wrapped butter pats next to the bread. One of the women asked in a rather loud tone, “Isn’t there any margarine for the bread? Butter is so bad for you!” Most of the congregation...
