It’s a Conspiracy

 
I went to the doctor yesterday for a totally non-fitness or weight loss related issue; so I thought. I have been having trouble with falling asleep. I just lie there for hours even though I’m dead tired at the end of the day. I self-diagnosed myself as having insomnia and asked my doctor if she […]

Real Food: Real Life

So over on Pretty By Nature I embarked on a little health experiment the other day. I put the hubs and myself on a self imposed Raw Food Detox diet. Why? Well for the obvious reasons: look better, feel better. But also I wanted to be more conscious of what I was eating. I find […]

Did You Take Your Vitamins Yet?

That’s my husband’s question, every morning. Well for about 2 months. He got tired of reminding me everyday. So technically, it’s his fault that I haven’t taken my vitamins in months, :).

All Forms Of Alcohol Now Considered Beneficial

The experts just can’t make up their minds, can they? It used to be that just red wine was good for you (in moderation of course) and considered heart-healthy. Beer and liquor were not associated with any health benefits.
Now it seems that alcohol of any form - whether it be liquor, wine, or beer - […]

Health Benefits To Being Slightly Heavy

An article at MSNBC made my head spin - Could there be some health benefits to being slightly heavy, i.e. around 25 pounds overweight? Apparently overweight (not obese) folks are more likely to survive illnesses such as pneumonia and emphysema. However, they are still more likely to die from kidney disease and diabetes.

Heart Health With Minimal Weight Loss

In the news: You don’t necessarily have to be thin to be fit. A study of 400 overweight, sedentary women who exercised daily (as little as a brisk walk) for six months showed that they reduced their risk for a heart attack.
