Forget flu season—sugar season is upon us!
It’s that time of year again. No, I’m not referring to the fact that stores are displaying Christmas merchandise and the radio stations are playing nonstop holiday tunes—I’m talking about “flu season.” And you know what that means. Signs all over God’s green earth telling everyone to “Get their flu shot!” I also have noticed that there is a special maketing twist this year with respect to COVID. Now we’re hearing, “Protect yourself and...

Always bloated and gassy? This may be why!
One out of four of us has some type of digestive problem, and right up there among the top is BLOATING! Although it tends to affect women more often, bloating is a very common condition that causes misery for millions of people. Now, occasional bloating is one thing that most of us can deal with.

That’s the fantasy. The reality is quite a different picture—peppered with side effects, many of which can be debilitating and/or require more medications to counteract them! And...

Take care of these—it’s a matter of life or death
I get my inspiration for blog writing in several strange ways. For example, if I’m waiting in an airport, you can bet I’ll see something to write about. There’s WAAYY too many people around with time on their hands and I’ll surely pick up on something unhealthy! Same goes for the grocery store.

Feel blue? Putting on weight? Tired? This could be why
When it comes to your health, many times the cause and effect relationship is abundantly clear. Cut your finger as you’re slicing vegetables? You can count on seeing blood (maybe even stitches). Come into contact with something you’re allergic to? You’ll be sneezing and your eyes will water in no time. Fall down the stairs? Hopefully bumps and bruises are the only things you have to worry about! But there are other issues where...
