Not enough time for it all
by Mary Kay Morgan, MS CPT
About Me View My Posts
Who isn't "short on time" this time of year? Often when time is limited the first thing to drop off the list is exercise and other wellness activities. In fact, "I just don't have time" continues to be the #1 reason year round for not exercising daily, not eating nutritious food or not intentionally relaxing. Prioritizing anything ahead of wellness activities in your daily schedule is a classic example... 12/27/2007 8:22:14 AM

About Me View My Posts
The news is fresh fruits and veggies. Not that you didn't know it already, but the beneficial evidence for fresh raw fruits and vegetables is mounting rapidly and causing the cancer research community to refocus on life style as a cancer preventative and treatment. On Friday, December 7, 2007 the American Association for Cancer Research conference on cancer prevention was held in Philadelphia. Several... 12/19/2007 11:41:44 PM

About Me View My Posts
Researchers in Canada looked at 153 YouTube videos about vaccination and immunization. They found that over half of the videos published childhood, flu and HPV vaccines in a negative or ambiguous light. Forty-five of them contradict recommendations contained in the Canadian Immunization Guide (2006). Videos that portray vaccinations in a negative light receive significantly more traffic than those... 12/14/2007 7:54:06 AM

The impact of menopause on your career
by Beth Rosenshein
About Me View My Posts
Until you experience ovarian failure you really can't understand the impact menopause will have on your career. We've been told for so long that menopause is normal and even the National Institute of Health does not consider it a disorder. We tell ourselves that menopause should not have a negative influence on our career. The fact is menopause can easily derail a career. It can even destroy it. It's... 12/13/2007 10:08:47 PM

About Me View My Posts
Have you been dating someone for a significant period of time and with a high level of involvement? Do you feel the pressure to get engaged over the holidays? For many couples in this situation, the expectation of getting engaged rachets up with every DeBeers commercial you watch together. Family and friends may unwittingly add to the pressure as well.

Workout Wisdom

About Me View My Posts
My goal as a "teacher" has always been to explain things in the same way I wish MY teachers would have taught me, back in the day... Do you remember what it was/is like when someone asks or tells you to do something such as a teacher, parent, coach, trainer, etc? I remember as a kid, the first word out of my mouth was "Why?" (sound familiar?) And nothing frustrated/irritated me more than receiving... 12/12/2007 12:40:58 PM

by Dr. Timothy Sharp
About Me View My Posts
In my previous blog posting I provided a list of tips that I hope might help at least some of you enjoy more happiness during the coming festive season. Several days after writing that post I thought there was at least one more important point to make...and that's the need for most, if not all of us, to make time to refresh and recuperate. In Australia we're coming up to what most people consider the... 12/6/2007 4:17:24 PM

Birth Order Debunked
by Dr. Laura Markham
About Me View My Posts
I recently wrote on my YourParentingSolutions.com blog about the new birth order study that's causing all the fuss. The short version is: Researchers think they've proven that first borns have higher IQs, and parents are worried about their later-born kids. I say, reading to them makes up the difference and then some. Not to mention that breastfeeding has more impact than birth order on IQ. Click here... 12/6/2007 12:48:35 PM
