Breast cancer--what you really should be “aware” of
October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and judging by the PSAs on my Facebook feed to “get your mammogram,” it appears everyone’s pretty aware of it. And although many events have had to go virtual this year due to COVID restrictions, there are still “races for the cure” happening around the country, aiming to raise money for breast cancer research.

This can either save you or kill you—it’s up to you
I’m going to go out on a limb today and say that most of us aren’t in a hurry to be pushing up daisies anytime soon. Fair statement? But unfortunately, many of us are sabotaging our health and rolling out the red carpet for the grim reaper to come calling.

Can’t sleep at night? Pepsi to the rescue!
Well, now I’ve officially seen it all. To apparently compensate for slumping soda sales, PepsiCo (maker of Pepsi Cola, Diet Pepsi, Mountain Dew, etc.) has come up with an idea for a drink to help consumers de-stress and unwind before they go to bed. It’s a functional water beverage called “Driftwell” that contains 200 mg of L-theanine (a non-essential amino acid) and 10 percent of the RDA for magnesium. The drink comes in 7.5...
