Will this well-proven health measure be next on the chopping block?
In case you haven’t noticed, marketing is all about creating a need (and subsequent demand) for a certain product. This can be done in a number of ways. First and foremost, everyone knows that sex sells, so typically the product being advertised is presented with a scantily clad model or two. “New and different” formulas spark the consumer’s interest and desire to try the “new” version, even if it’s not significantly different from the...

Stop the cycle of manipulation now!
I rarely watch TV, but after getting a taste of a morning news program while I was waiting to have blood drawn recently, I decided to conduct a little experiment and watch an hour of mainstream news. All I can say is it was sickening, and I couldn’t even make it a full hour. And I’m not even talking about the sensationalism and fear mongering oozing from the actors, er, I mean newscasters.

My (horrible) experience with blood pressure drugs
The title of today’s article may have surprised you—Sherry is taking blood pressure medication? Alas, not everything is as it appears, my friend, so let me tell you the whole story.

What we all have to acknowledge is that time marches on for everyone, and eventually our bodies show...

How to keep your brain sharp (and a fun quiz!)
Back when my dear mother was still in a nursing home (prior to her passing in 2015 at age 94), every time I would visit her, I would pop my head into the doorway of her room and say, “Hi Mom! How are you?” She would always respond, “Well, Sher, I hurt from head to toe (with arthritis), but I still know who you are!” Ah yes, age-related cognitive decline is a very real...

5 Ways to Prevent Our Top 2 Killers
My, how February has risen in prominence. It used to be most well-known for Valentine’s Day and then in later years, Presidents Day. (I guess you can count Groundhog Day too if you’d like—Punxsutawney Phil would be pleased.) Well, February has stepped up even more, because not only is it National Cancer Prevention Month, but it’s recognized as American Heart Month as well. Who knew that humble February—the month during which I would officially...
