I am often asked about healthy snacks that are not rabbit food! I mean most dieters know that carrot and celery sticks are good choices for between meals – but they just don’t have the satisfaction of a handful of chips! But that’s exactly why I am nuts about nuts, and YOU should be too! […] Read more
“Go to the light,” you may have heard said to people on the threshold of death and the afterlife. “Light-hearted” people are a joy to be around. Mystics seek “enlightenment” through isolation, fasting, and meditation or prayer. Most ancient civilizations on Earth linked light from the sun, moon, and stars to human events, characteristics, and […] Read more
Getting sufficient rest is imperative for your health and lifestyle, but did you know that getting too much sleep can be a sign of much bigger problems, as well? As a matter of fact, too much sleep is linked to the same health risks as sleeping too little, including heart disease, metabolic problems, and difficulty […] Read more
It’s a touchy subject but human contact is vital to our health and well-being. Unspoken communication flows between people who share direct skin-to-skin contact. Sometimes, the act of touching is intentional but there many occasions when humans touch each other subconsciously – without conscious awareness.

The nose knows. What things smell like, that is. But, much like the end of your nose, the ability to detect and identify odors is one that is often overlooked and taken for granted.

Thinning hair and bald patches plague many people around the world. You probably know someone who is dealing with the emotional upset and social stigma of hairlessness. Perhaps you yourself part your head hair and see more scalp than before. As I wrote recently, hair loss (alopecia) concerns a lot of people who aren’t necessarily old […] Read more

Probably the most common injury from weight lifting is back injury. But, while back injuries are a potential risk from weightlifting, if they do occur, it is most […] Read more
“Just relax,” “Mellow-out,” “Take a chill-pill…” That can be some good advice. Both eastern and western medical practices all recognize the toll stress takes on your health. But in these frenetic, 24/7, digital, always on, times, finding ways to relax can be – pretty stressful! But a friend of mine recently returned from a retreat […] Read more
“A penny saved is a penny earned.” – Ben Franklin Thrift was a virtue prized by Americans who lived during the Great Depression, a 10-year of economic austerity – doing without – which lasted from the stock market crash of 1929 until 1939.
