Are your bowel habits normal? Here’s how to tell.
Ah, pooping. Such a personal subject. The intimate relationship between you, your toilet bowl and Charmin. Bowel habits are typically not something that most people feel comfortable discussing, especially when the conversation centers on how often you go. But it probably won’t surprise you that I believe it’s a VERY important topic of conversation, so let’s have a little chat about your Number twos. Where do you fall on the spectrum? Generally speaking, people...

What your sweat says about you!
I recently passed a mixed martial arts (MMA) test for advanced green belt (the next level is brown belt!) and to say I was sweaty afterwards is a huge understatement.

A perfect example here is collagen. Collagen has been around for as long...
