REVIEW – As a younger-ish adult being told you have a heart condition is pretty scary. I was diagnosed with tachycardia during a routine check-up.

REVIEW – I walk for 20 minutes 2 times a day on the treadmill and do strength training 4 times a week using a TotalGym. I’ve been doing this for years and although it helps to keep me active, and relatively fit, doing the same thing day after day, week after week, month after month,

NEWS – I’m generally not a germophobe but sometimes I wonder about the microscopic creepy crawlers that might be lurking on the top of soda cans from a vending machine. When I’m home, I use a straw, but when I’m out and about, I usually just suck it up (literally) and chug right from the

REVIEW – Quick! Name one thing that you really should do more often but don’t really want to! For me, the answer to that question is, “Floss my teeth.” I know it’s healthy, but I just don’t like to do it, and my oral hygienist is forever having to remind me to floss every day.

REVIEW – We all know that we should brush our teeth at least 2 times a day and we should be flossing as well. I was a slacker when it came to flossing until about a year ago when I finally made it a habit to floss every morning. But for some weird reason, I
