How to slash your risk of dementia
People sometimes joke around about forgetfulness or “CRS disease” as we age, but in reality, mental decline (dementia) is no laughing matter. Currently one in three senior citizens dies with Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia, and over six million Americans are living with the condition. Even more disturbingly, that number is projected to rise to 13 million over the next few decades. And it’s not just old age! While dementia is typically found...
Enjoy holiday indulgences without guilt (and a great recipe!)

The epidemic no one is talking about
I recently went to my 40th high school reunion, and one of the most “telling” moments of the event was looking at our yearbook and seeing how drastically everyone had changed. It’s one thing to see someone every day and not notice subtle changes over the years, but it’s quite another to look at 40 years ago versus now—it hits you like a ton of bricks!

Is this why we’re so sick and overweight?
I have an interesting quote for you today about the relationship between diet and health. Although the author says "bread" in the quote, he's really talking about food in general. See if you can guess who said it: "I know, too, that the body is affected differently by bread according to the manner in which it is prepared... The influence of each process is considerable, and each has a totally different effect from another....
