Could this be the magic answer to a longer life?
I am going to go out on a limb today and say that most of us don’t want a visit from the grim reaper anytime soon. As a matter of fact, I suspect what the majority of people would say when asked what’s most important to them is good health and a long life! Well, that’s certainly what our bodies were designed to achieve. Nature did not intend for you to be diseased, medicated,...

What the media won’t tell you about sunscreens
It has been said that there are two certainties in life—death and taxes. I’ll add one more onto that—the fact that advertising works. Very well.

The truth about heart attacks & how to prevent them
If my father were still alive, he would have been 101 years old on December 9th. Instead, he died at the age I am now, of a massive heart attack.
