Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, but it’s not the only thing in February directly related to the heart. February is also National Heart Month. Many people don’t realize the severity of heart health in America, and that is a tragic error. Roughly 610,000 Americans die each year from heart disease. That number is equal to one in four deaths. Heart disease is hands down the leading killer of... 2/8/2016 8:00:00 AM

Today it is common to have a job that involves sitting at a desk for eight hours a day. And usually we would feel good if we hit the gym a few times a week, or managed to squeeze in a hike on a weekend. However, one major lesson that has come out of research on sedentary behavior is that exercising before or after work—although great to do – does not undo the harm done by sitting all day. Long periods... 2/4/2016 8:00:00 AM

What Is Leaky Gut? (And Why You Should Know)
by Jenn Ryan
About Me View My Posts
Leaky gut is another name for intestinal permeability. What this means is that places in the gut that determine what gets to go into your small intestine are not working as they should. This means that substances that you react to, or are toxic to your body, end up where they shouldn’t—in your bloodstream. Imagine your gut’s lining is Gandalf in The Fellowship of the Ring. He stands at that bridge... 2/1/2016 8:00:00 AM

Can You Avoid Getting Cancer?
by Fred Fletcher
About Me View My Posts
Roughly six years ago I started writing a book on the most promising treatments for cancer. The project was born out of a deep personal desire to give people who had been diagnosed with cancer (or had a relative or friend in such situation or who were simply afraid of getting the disease) palpable hope that was based on hard, sink-your-teeth-into science.That is not to say that I don't believe in the... 1/30/2016 8:00:00 AM

An average of 10 hours outdoors each day, 70 hours weekly, was common. Following the advent of Edison’s long-lasting light bulb, over the last 100 years, people have moved indoors, away from the natural light that so faithfully regulated our circadian rhythms and... 1/26/2016 7:00:00 AM
