Melanoma (a potentially fatal skin cancer) is the most common cancer in 25-29-year- olds.
Melanoma is the second most common form of cancer in adolescents and young adults ages 15-29.
Melanomas are increasing faster in 15-29-year-old females than in […]

Two years ago, I participated in one of those charity walks that spans two days and 39 miles. While I only managed to finish the first 28 miles, I learned quite a bit about exercising in hot weather.
You see, we were experiencing record high temperatures for May and June while I trained for this […]

I’m all the way across the country from my home, my family, my kitchen, and my gym. I’ll be here all week. I’m at a conference, so most of my food is provided, and I’m working long hours, so I can’t even guarantee that I’ll get meals on a regular basis. But so far, I’ve […]

Taking care of myself in a more healthful way has evolved in baby steps. A few small changes here and a few small changes there have developed into a new, slimmer, better feeling, more healthful me! The changes were a challenge at first. But they became less and less of a challenge […]

Spring is an interesting time of year in the Denver area. One day it might be 80 degrees and sunny, the next might be 30 degrees and snowy. Even so, I take time to weed and spruce up my front flower garden every April as well as contemplate and plan the backyard’s potential […]

Do you often find yourself tired or fatigued? Do you often eat fast, fried or refined foods? Do you suffer from headaches or chronic aches and pains? Are you constipated or having problems with digestion? Are you feeling bloated and puffy? Do you drink a lot of alcohol and/or caffeine? Are you looking to jump-start […]

Maybe a few of us dream to look like a supermodels, but absolutely everyone aspires to be fit and look good!
