YOUR HEALTH Inflammation continues to rise to the top of the list for causing diseases. When in balance, inflammation is an essential immune response within the human body. Its role is to limit physical damage from illness or injury by responding to invaders like viruses, bacterial infections, toxins, and something as simple as a splinter. […]
Press on
I shared recently about a challenging hill I am running up and down to exercise because I can (see Not Today blog). Well, the temperatures continue to rise here in Phoenix and that hill feels steeper every day but I press on. The crazy thing is that I am not out there alone. Other people […]
Where are your manners?
Our local news channel 3 has a segment called “Caught Misbehaving Badly” where a reporter films people doing, well, bad things! One show highlighted people running through stop signs and another was people not slowing down for pedestrians as they crossed the street. What I find frustrating about the premise is that he never corrects […]

YOUR HEALTH When I was younger, I was addicted to cardio classes. I loved the adrenaline rush and burn. The harder the class, the more fun. As I got older, however, I learned the importance of weight-bearing exercise. Like many women, I was afraid I would bulk out and that wasn’t the look I […]

YOUR HEALTH I remember some years ago when a doctor published an article in the New York Times stating that sweating was dangerous. He went as far as to say, “No one should ever workout.” What hogwash! Serious? Sweating is our body’s way of regulating our temperature. Without it, we would overheat and die. […]
Let’s Be Real
I don’t know what rock I have been living under, but I have never seen any of the Tyler Perry Madea movies. I really like the movies I’ve seen Perry in, so when Madea’s Family Reunion was on television (came out in 2006), I sat down to watch it. These movies have done so well […]

YOUR HEALTH Happy Easter! In honor of this holiday, I thought I would share some EGGcelent information about the good ol’ egg! Every once in a while, eggs get a bad rap, but science has proven time and again how beneficial eggs are in our diet. First, they are a superb source of simple, lean […]
What’s your super power?
I watched Dead Pool 2 on television the other day. The movies are violent gore meets junior-high humor. I am not recommending it because it isn’t for everyone, but those who enjoy them LOVE them. I have to be in the right frame of mind, and the television version is more PG13 than R. Anyway, […]

YOUR HEALTH Most people have already given up on their New Year’s resolutions. Whether you call them resolutions or goals, you set yourself up to fail if you do not know the why behind them. For such a small word, “why” has a big punch. It can be the difference between huge success […]

YOUR HEALTH The Keto diet is capturing people’s attention because it results in weight loss. Please don’t be fooled by yet another unhealthy fad diet that won’t work. In essence, it is a no carb, high fat and protein diet that resembles Atkins. Both are dangerous because they either eliminate or restrict carbohydrates which are […]
