How to keep your brain sharp into your golden years
In our society today, sadly many health issues are accepted as “normal” consequences of aging. These include impaired hearing, weight gain, arthritis, reduced stamina, constipation, and the one that is probably feared the most… mental impairment !

I used to do karate with a guy whose farts were so putrid that they were more deadly than any punch or kick he could throw.

What you might not know about colon cancer
Back in 1978 (when I was 15 years old) and a mere six months after my father died suddenly, my mother was diagnosed with colon cancer. I remember being terrified at the prospect of losing both parents within a short time of each other, and colon cancer seemed like such a mystery to me. Thankfully, it’s no mystery anymore (more on that below), but back then it seemed like anyone was fair game for...
Simple ways to help lower your blood pressure
According to the US Department of Health and Human Services, nearly HALF of American adults currently have high blood pressure, with readings at or above 130/80. And as if that’s not disturbing enough, hypertension is also affecting our kids! According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 1 in 25 kids in the US — about 1.3 million — ages 12 to 19 have hypertension! Other research estimates that between 4.7...
