  • Eat, Drink and Be Healthy?
    Several scientific advances have been made on weight control and improving health. Yet the media hypes them up so much to proclaim another 'magic bullet' discovery. What's the real truth behind these studies and how can they benefit you?
  • Can you Avoid the Flu by Changing your Attitude?
    Positive mental attitudes have been touted for decades. Now new research shows that a 'PMA' can actually decrease your odds of getting sick.
  • Is Personalized Medicine at our Doorstep?
    New genetic screening technologies promise to aid in the treatment of many diseases and disorders. This is an incredibly powerful approach for medical science but a potentially huge head ache for medical ethics.
  • Maintaining Good Health isn’t Rocket Science
    Maintaining good health isn't rocket science. It just takes some common sense and to avoid fad diets. Any long term sustainable health program should be based on exercise and meals that balance carbohydrate, protein and fat in reasonable portion sizes - you don't have to be a mathemetician to figure it out.
  • Is Love Potion Real?
    A new report on the Today Show details recent research on understanding the biology of love. Although this is a fascinating field and worthy of continued research, the Today Show is suggesting we should develop drugs to control our heart's desires. That is going too far.
  • Do we need to Micromanage our Bodies?
    Using medications to micromanage our body functions might not always be the best choice. Sometimes we need to take one medication to combat the side effects of a different medication. A focus on whole body health is often a better choice when it comes to reversing ill health.

  • Vacuuming Boosts Health – If you Believe It
    The placebo effect strikes again. A new study shows the power of believing that your everyday routines can help your health.
  • Sweeten Your Willpower
    New studies show that maintaining your blood sugar might help you control your willpower. A low glycemic diet can be another weapon to overcoming your bad habits.
  • Take That Pebble Out Your Shoe
    When it comes to improving health, so many people are looking for the quick fix. But really it takes time. Don't subscribe to all the hype that you can improve your health overnight. The need for instant gratification is the enemy of success.
  • Some Parts of the Brain Improve with Age
