I write a lot about different ways to improve your health, but I have missed writing about one of the simplest and most enjoyable health aids – vacations. So much in the health arena involves doing things like exercise, diet, proper sleep, and avoiding toxic environmental elements. These things are necessary, but not fun. […]
How is your grip? This is probably something you never think about unless you find you are unable to open a jar of peanut butter anymore. But grip strength is much more than just accessing delicious ground peanuts, a lot more. Your grip strength is an indicator of the strength of the muscles all […]
You know that feeling where you gotta go and you don’t know if you are going to make it to the toilet? Or on the other side of the road, it is day three and you still have not gotten that joyful release from your colon? How about abdominal cramping and gas that doubles […]

Public health messages focus on the dangers of too much ultraviolet light radiation hitting our skin and causing genetic damage promoting skin cancers and accelerated aging of the skin.
