Artificially sweetened beverages are not the answer to circumventing weight gain. Artificial sweeteners actually promote weight gain. I know this seems counterintuitive. Since a major purpose of artificial sweeteners is to avoid added calories, you are right to wonder how these no-calorie sugar substitutes could increase your potential to gain weight. Let me explain.Artificial sweeteners have been... 10/2/2021 8:00:00 AM

Selfishness is OK
by Roni Weisberg-Ross
About Me View My Posts
Selfishness has a negative connotation in our culture; but it’s not selfishness, it’s a lack of empathy that hurts others. While I am no Ayn Rand acolyte, I do agree with her argument in “The Virtue of Selfishness.” Taking care of oneself is not only reasonable; it is necessary – necessary for survival. But our culture has placed a judgment on taking care of oneself – as if taking care of yourself,... 10/1/2021 8:00:00 AM

by Wellness Editor
About Me View My Posts
What’s the germiest place on the planet? Well, it could very well be your local hospital. Studies have shown that hospitals are hotbeds for nasty pathogens, such as Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Clostridium difficile (C. diff) and vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE). People who visit the hospital are at risk of picking up one of these bugs and carrying it to another location or coming down with... 9/26/2021 8:00:00 AM

Functional Foods: What You Need to Know About “Biotics” and Your Health
by Judith Finlayson
About Me View My Posts
For some reason it’s a flashbulb memory: In 2008, referring to a component of whole grains that encourages the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, I used the word “prebiotic.” My editor wasn’t familiar with the term, and she queried whether I meant “probiotic.” Probiotics are friendly bacteria like the lactobacilli provided by yogurt, which were then gaining traction as healthful substances. How times... 9/22/2021 8:00:00 AM

by Wellness Editor
About Me View My Posts
The CDC reports more than 45,000 people die each year by suicide. For every one successful suicide, 25 people make unsuccessful attempts. While the highest suicide rates are among the middle-aged and elderly, clusters of suicides sometimes occur in teens and young adults.
