A recent study sponsored by the United Health Foundation indicated that 40 percent (2 of every 5) of those living in the United States may be obese by 2018.
One of the first puns I can remember reading was a definition of “pharmacist” as “a piller of the community.” The word “piller” probably can’t be found in any dictionary, except as a dialectical variant of “pillow.”
Q: One of my relatives has had lower-back pain, and they diagnosed her with a synovial cyst. They tried to put a needle in it to take out the fluid, and now they want to do surgery. What is this disease, and is surgery the right answer?
What’s in a name you may ask? Well, to many people a great deal, especially when the name relates to some type of medical condition.
The other night, while watching the nightly news, I heard the newsman announce that the next featured story of the night was to be about lefties. That would be me!
Last month, the Supreme Court heard a case concerning the FCC and fines for networks that violate governmentally determined decency standards. In this case, it was an issue centered on fines imposed because Cher used an expletive at an awards ceremony.
“Drive” coasts by on a whole lot of style and not much substance, but that’s OK. When a movie is this stylish, I can’t see any reason to complain.
Super Bowl Sunday worship will peak when the New England Patriots smite (I’m biased and hopeful here!) the New York Giants. Ever since Tom Brady’s posse took out the Denver Broncos, its quarterback Tim Tebow in prayerful pose will no longer be spotlighted. Yet he’s still drawing heat.
Cornell Law School graduate Jim Wawro wrote “Ask Your Inner Voice,” a book designed to aid each of us not just in understanding what intuition is, but its significance as inner wisdom and how to reap the benefits of that wisdom.
With an imagination, the sky is full of surprise. One never knows what you’ll see next. Like imagining shapes in fair weather cumulus clouds, a night sky watcher will see all sorts of things. You may be a grown adult and think finding cloud shapes is something just for kids. A night under the stars will cure you of that.
The best advice I can give for arthritis-related pain is to get up and get moving. Staying active and using your joints helps to keep them lubricated and prevents further breakdown and arthritis from setting in.
An estimated 36 million Americans experience a chronic phantom sound in their ears, known as tinnitus. The sound is perceived either in the head or in the ears in the absence of any external source of sound.
We keep reading or hearing the words “perfect,” “best” or “success” as ways to define ourselves and how we should start the new year. It’s a lot to live up to. And, frankly, it can be quite overwhelming.
Amid this fun, the term “slider” justly is expanding to mean any miniature sandwich in a dinner roll. There are fish ones, club ones, reuben ones, chicken salad ones...
It’s important to parent with a purpose. After all, it is the most significant job you will ever have in life.
We recently conducted two studies on increasing muscle strength and decreasing muscle fatigue that compared strength training alone and strength training plus electrical stimulation.
We had a cold spring. The modern hybrids languished while the heirlooms took off despite the cool season. This proved that the hybrids did not have the wide range of climatic tolerances as the heirlooms. If I had not planted heirlooms, I would not have had a tomato harvest that year.
Well, it's winter. But winter doesn't have to be dreary, and often during this no-holiday time of year, people enjoy lifting their spirits by entertaining. In winter, we tend to do things a little more formally, so let's explore how to decorate a dining table in a wintery, formal way.
The “Sticky Fingers” tour began as a few spot dates last summer in Western U.S. markets, but the response to the shows was so strong, Denson said, he and his band decided to keep the idea afloat for a while. A new stretch of East Coast dates kicks off Tuesday, starting with Boston, Mass.
