How to prevent the second most deadly cancer
March is “National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month.” Since colorectal cancer is second only to lung cancer in terms of deadliness, it’s good to be aware of it and more importantly, know how to prevent it.

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...
Surprising health benefits of chocolate (plus a recipe)
Happy Valentine’s Day! It’s a day known for romance, flowers, and… Chocolate!
