One of my goals with this article is to reveal just how complex poor eating habits can be. Junk food is designed to keep you coming back for more. Telling people that they “need more willpower” or should “just stop eating crap” is short-sighted at best. Most of us know that junk food is unhealthy. We know that poor nutrition is related to heart problems, high blood pressure, and a […]

I remembered that I forgot … something. Short-term memory loss is when you forget things you heard, saw, or did recently. It’s a normal part of getting older for many people. You may be wondering why someone can remember an event from 10 years ago but not remember an event from 10 minutes ago. This is because there are two main types of memory loss–short term memory loss and long-term […]

You never question their trust or loyalty because you should know it’s there. I have had so many friends come and go like seasons. I never thought I would ever meet a friend that would be a true friend. Let’s face it, the people that grew up with you know way more about you than your friends you just met last year. You may be all straight-laced and business-like today, […]

There is no actual reason why men get attracted to other women. What one man likes may be different from what the other likes. Marriage isn’t always milk and honey. Even Disney couples have their ups and downs, and real life is no different. There might be moments, though, when you feel something is completely wrong. Maybe all of a sudden, he started to arrive home late, and, out of the blue, […]

Did you know your nails can reveal clues to your overall health? A touch of white here, a rosy tinge there, or some rippling or bumps may be a sign of disease in the body.  Problems in the liver, lungs, and heart can show up in your nails. Nails are a very important part of our body. They help over the tender tissues and skin on our extremities. They are […]

It’s said a woman’s hair is their crowning glory. Sooner or later, that crown will start to gray. You now face a decision. Banish gray hair with dye, or rock a silver mane? Whichever you pick, know the facts about your gray strands to keep your hair looking and feeling its best. Your hair follicles have pigment cells that make melanin, a chemical that gives your hair its color. As […]

The constant pings from notifications can be distracting and can induce anxiety. The technology was meant to make our lives convenient. But it’s backfiring now by stealing our focus and making us less productive instead. Tech giants are using your psychology against you to hook you into using their products or services for the longest period at a stretch possible. They are competing against each other to keep you hooked the […]

Hear the word “microwave,” and you’re more likely to think of that miracle box in your kitchen than the radiation for which it’s named. After all, microwaves heat your food through, well, microwaves. A form of electromagnetic radiation, microwaves have three characteristics that make them so darn good at zapping your leftovers. They are reflected by metal. (That’s why you should never put metal in your microwave.) They pass through […]

The stages of sleep range from light to deep. Each stage has characteristics that can be measured. A sleep study is a number of tests done at the same time during sleep. The tests measure specific sleep characteristics and help to diagnose sleep disorders. A sleep study may also be called polysomnogram. The basic recordings done during a sleep study may include Electroencephalography (EEG) . This measures brain wave activity. Electrooculogram (EOG). This measures […]

Whole grains contain all 3 components of the grain kernel: The bran (the outermost layer): contains fiber and B […]
