November is National Lung Cancer Awareness Month

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...

8 “Good for you” foods that are anything but!

  I think it’s safe to say that most people appreciate the importance of eating healthy foods…regardless of whether they actually do it. 😊 But many people’s understandings of what foods are healthy are frequently influenced by clever food company advertisements and slanted studies.
