Do you have high levels of this “silent killer”?
April is Stress Awareness Month. While I think most of us are pretty well aware of stress, I suspect many people might not know just how harmful it can be, especially when it’s chronic and ongoing. Although the medical community calls high blood pressure the “silent killer,” I think that term better applies to stress, since stress is something we ALL deal with. Let’s look at what stress really is, all the ways it...
Got belly fat? Here’s how to get rid of it!
With nearly seventy percent of Americans currently being overweight or obese, I think it’s safe to say that there’s no shortage of belly fat around. But is all belly fat created equal? And what’s driving this epidemic of spare tires and muffin tops? Is it just that we’re eating too much? Or is there more to it than that? Let’s look at several factors that are behind our “blossoming bellies” and more importantly, how you...
Don’t take your lungs for granted!
As much as I wish I could say otherwise, the inspiration for today’s blog comes from two people who are very dear to me.

Got gout? End it in 24 hours or less!
Over 8 million people in the US suffer regular attacks of pain, swelling and inflammation in their joints, otherwise known as gout.

At last-real relief for painful periods!
I think it’s safe to say that most women (yours truly included) have experienced at least some degree of menstrual cramps in their lives, which can range from mild discomfort to serious pain. But one out of five women suffers from extremely severe pain to the point where it is debilitating, otherwise known as dysmenorrhea.

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. Colorectal cancer is rather personal to me since my Mom had it back in 1978 and ended up with a permanent colostomy as a result. When she was first diagnosed, it seemed so shocking to 15 year-old me, but...
