November is National Lung Cancer Awareness Month
Back in the 1980s I worked at a health insurance company and interestingly one of the things I remember best about that job was my boss (Paul) who smoked cigars nonstop throughout the day. As you may recall (if you are as old as me!), smoking used to be allowed in public places, including business offices. So, Paul would light up and stink up the office all day long. Whenever I had to go...
You can’t live without these--take care of yours
Back in my health insurance days in the early 80s, I used to have a boss (Paul) that smoked cigars pretty much nonstop. As you may recall (if you are as old as me LOL), smoking used to be allowed in public places, including business offices. So we would witness Paul lighting up throughout the day. Besides the stench of what I assumed were cheap cigars, I was very aware of Paul’s breathing, which...

Don’t take your lungs for granted!
As much as I wish I could say otherwise, the inspiration for today’s blog comes from two people who are very dear to me.

That’s because COVID is known for its inflammatory “cytokine storm” that especially likes to attack the lungs…and some people have reported that they are having...

Are you a likely target for cancer? How to tell
A very dear friend of mine from college was just diagnosed with cancer. We had been keeping in touch over the last 10 years or so, thanks to social media. I had noticed that several of her Facebook posts were recipes for rich desserts and other sweets…and I’ve got to tell you, I’ve been troubled about that for some time. I knew she was overweight and had been warned that her blood glucose levels...
How to prevent the 2 most deadly lung diseases
I got a request from a client to write about something many of us take for granted… Lung health! Yes indeed—you’re sitting there breathing right now (or so I would presume) while you’re reading this blog and not even thinking about it, are you? But that would change pretty quickly if there was a problem with your lungs and breathing suddenly became a challenge (or nearly impossible) for you! Let’s talk about two of...
