Health on a Budget

Ok, so here’s the thing: investing in your health on the front end will save you lots of money (an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure). One of the most common reasons people file for bankruptcy is because of exorbitant medical bills. Don’t get me started on our health care system. Yes, [...]

For those who aren’t sensitive to dairy, whey protein powder is an excellent protein boost that will energize you for the day or help muscles recover after exercise.

The Best Fish for You and the Environment (recipe)

While excessive sun, and especially sustaining severe sunburns at a young age, certainly can lead to melanoma, the sun has been unfairly demonized. The fact is, moderate sun exposure can actually [...]
