by Chris Ruden You’re trying to lose weight and you’re determined to achieve a certain goal by a certain deadline. But for some reason or other your efforts didn’t pay off as expected. What do you do? Do you beat yourself up about it; stressing, worrying, and panicking? The pressure to lose weight and look better can be a motivator, but many people allow themselves to be controlled entirely by that pressure. In fact,... 2/7/2023 5:00:00 AM
by Sherrie Campbell By their very nature women are nurturers and tend to give out more than they receive. Women can become so focused on their careers, their husbands/boyfriends, their friends, entertaining and children that they forget themselves. When women forget themselves, they lose themselves and begin to hardly resemble the person they once were. Soul time is vitally important for women to stay connected within.... 2/4/2023 5:00:00 AM
by Joel Fuhrman, M.D. Good things do indeed come in small packages!

While you should definitely avoid eating nuts to excess, adding nuts to the diet helps... 2/3/2023 5:00:00 AM
by Kamini Wood You’re often the hardest worker in the room. You’re usually the first person to arrive at work in the morning and one of the last people to leave at the end of the day. Most days, you work through lunch or just eat at your desk. You’re constantly monitoring your inbox and chat messages, even at night and during weekends. You try to stay on top of everything. If your friends, family, and co-workers... 1/31/2023 6:59:46 PM

by Jenn Ryan It seems like every time my fiancé and I are at the grocery store, we happen to walk past aisles that sells loaves of bread for 99 cents or a huge bag of chips for a couple dollars. We gawk at these prices—how could anything so cheap ever be healthy? Isn’t good food more expensive? A study published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) in 2013 shows that eating healthier foods cost, on average, $1.56... 1/31/2023 5:00:00 AM
by Randy Stocker Wouldn’t it be nice if we could read the mind of someone who is grieving? We know that they are hurting from their loss, but they won’t accept our help or listen to our advice? They are asking themselves, “Why did this happen? Why can’t I cry? Why did God do this to me?” We really want to help, but just don’t know how. I lost my mother, Jean, and my two daughters, Jenelle-age 19, and Amy-age 9 to a... 1/30/2023 5:00:00 AM
by Avery Neal, PhD Our soul is our very essence, it’s the part of ourselves that makes us who we are. It is separate from our body, which is simply our outer form, our shell, the home in which our soul resides. As we go through life, most of us become consumed with external factors, stressors, other people and even our physical form.
