8 Warning signs you shouldn’t ignore
In the course of our busy lives, very few of us run to the doctor for every little annoying ache, pain or vague symptom. Most times the average person will “wait it out” and hope that the issue resolves itself. But there are symptoms your body may be giving you that should not be ignored.

Cataracts are NOT a “normal” part of aging!
According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, over 25 million Americans over the age of 40 have cataracts, and by the time we reach our 70s, half of us will be dealing with this incredibly common clouding of the lens inside the eye. In fact, cataracts are considered by the medical community as a normal consequence of aging! Sorry, but I don’t buy it. There is nothing “normal” about your eyes clouding over to the...

Alert: Aspirin is no longer a heart attack preventive
Since the 1970s, cardiologists have been recommending a daily low-dose or baby aspirin as a preventive measure against heart attacks or strokes. It was even claimed that daily aspirin therapy could lower the risk of cardiovascular disease by as much as 10 percent! I’m sure Bayer was very happy with that statement.
