by Joel Fuhrman, M.D. Good things do indeed come in small packages! Nuts and seeds are often overlooked as important health foods, but they pack a mighty punch fighting disease, including the nation’s number one killer, heart disease.

While you should definitely avoid eating nuts to excess, adding nuts to the diet helps... 2/3/2023 5:00:00 AM
by Dr. Rubina Tahir, DC Lights out! After a long day you meet your pillow for the usual sleep date. Unless you participate in a sleep study, you won’t have a specific idea of what you look like when you are sleeping. However you definitely have preferences, tendencies and sleeping habits! This means sleeping positions become repetitive, and you tend to adopt certain postures. What category do you fit into? The stomach sleeper,... 2/1/2023 5:00:00 AM
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?

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. As a result, we become less aware of our internal self, our soul, and what it truly... 1/29/2023 5:00:00 AM
by Erez Ascher In traveling throughout the world, one thing I’ve noticed is that most people in industrialized countries are often in a state of mild to severe distress. Anxiety and insecurity are rampant. Yet, notable exceptions do exist, such as in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. Their cultures of mutual support discourage distress and encourage eustress, meaning healthy tension. As it turns out, stress itself is... 1/28/2023 5:00:00 AM
by Spiwe Jefferson If you think cheerful people have no problems and are annoyingly happy, consider joining them. Many of us know at least one person who seems to show up for life each day in perpetual good cheer. We may consider them lucky and even resent them. But did you know that anyone can cultivate a spirit of cheerfulness? Not only that but being cheerful can provide tangible benefits that may surprise you. What... 1/27/2023 5:00:00 AM
by Lisa Steele When you scan the grocery store shelves trying to figure out which brand of eggs to buy, all the egg carton labels can begin to blur into one - "farm fresh", "cage free", "pasture raised", "organic", "omega-3 fortified", etc. It can be difficult to decide which carton to buy to be sure you’re getting the best eggs. With egg prices rising, especially if you are buying organic eggs or eggs with added... 1/26/2023 5:00:00 AM
