YOUR HEALTH I don’t know about you, but I cannot function without a good night’s rest. The National Sleep Foundation continues to discover the importance of restorative sleep at all ages, and they recommend 7 to 9 hours a night pretty much from our teens on.

YOUR HEALTH I remember some years ago when a doctor published an article in the New York Times stating that sweating was dangerous.
