Hey! I hope your day is going well!
I can't believe that Christmas is over and that we're about to enter a new year! I know it sounds cliche but it feels like time really does fly by.
I don't know about you, but this time of the year often brings with it a lot of reflection.

Hey! I hope your day is going great!
I am just getting back from a short trip to Orlando where we saw the Christmas Exhibit at The Gaylord Palms Resort Hotel. It was incredible.
They managed to build an entire little city out of ice blocks (2 million pounds of them to be exact) and they had dozens of characters, buildings and furniture topped off with a slide, all made entirely of ice. It was very cool! (and with a temperature of 9 degrees throughout the rooms...

Could This Be the Best Exercise Ever?
Hey! I hope your day is going well!
If you're like me than you are pretty excited about the fact that we are finally into the cooler part of the year. If you spent the summer in Florida than you suffered through many months of heat, humidity and yuckiness with great anticipation for the weather that is finally here. Among other things, the cooler temperatures bring with them opportunities to get outside and be more active. During this time of the year, I highly encourage you...

In a culture that is so heavily influenced by televisions, cars and computers, it seems that sitting is a necessary and even a desired way to posture ourselves in order to do what we want to do.
It is no surprise at all that things like back pain, neck pain and...

A Vitamin That You DO NOT Want To Be Deficient In
Hey! I hope you're having a great day!
This time of the year brings many changes. Changes in the time from daylight savings time, days getting shorter as we approach the winter solstice and cooler temperatures (at least that's what we're told is supposed to happen...).
Because of these changes many of us make changes to our daily routines and end up not spending as much time outside during the hours when the sunlight is strong.
This can set us up for problems because we can end up...

Happiness. Now there is something we are all interested in.

An Important Blood Test That Will Measure Inflammation
Hey! I hope you're having a great day!
Blood work. An unpleasant topic for many people. Just talking about it makes many people cringe. Feeling the needle in your arm and seeing your own blood is enough to make some people throw up and others pass out.
I totally get it.
I had to get blood drawn dozens of times while going through chemotherapy as a teen and I must say that it was never what I would call enjoyable. However, as I got wiser to the usefulness...

A Pill That Can Reduce Inflammation AND Slow Down Aging? 17 Studies Say…
Hey! I hope you're having a great day!
If you've been following my writings for any length of time you know that I am pretty skeptical about claims and marketing ploys made within the health industry.
There are too many "facts" taken way out of context and too many companies promising people the world just to get them to become customers. This legitimately bothers me because it makes people think that there is a quick, easy and effortless way to make their body exactly what they want...
