Coenzyme Q10. The Holy Grail Of Anti-Aging

Perhaps we would approach aging differently if we were educated and armed with the education and tools necessary to age as healthily as possible.

Don't Let Your “Built Environment” Determine Your Health

In my opinion, many people underestimate the power of walking when it comes to overall health benefits. Maybe it’s because we tend to associate a good, effective workout with a lot of sweat and a rapidly beating heart.

Still Checking Your Emails After Dinner? Doing So Can Put Your Health At Risk!

If the line between “work time” and “personal time” was getting blurry before the pandemic, it’s now safe to say that for many people that line has now disappeared. This is not very surprising given that 71 percent of us are now working from home (WFH) and more than half want to continue doing so after employers fully open their offices.

Want to Reduce Body Fat? Try Resistance Training!

While aerobic exercise may indeed burn off more calories per workout, the real secret to reducing your body fat over the long term is resistance training.

Always Fatigued? Your Diet and Lifestyle May Be to Blame!

We all get tired feel drowsy at times. These feelings are normal parts of our innate daily circadian rhythm. We know when we need to rest and when it’s time to get some shuteye, whether it’s a good night’s sleep or a nap, after which most of us feel refreshed and ready to go.

Cottage Cheese Before Bed?

Cottage cheese is not the prettiest looking food out there. If I’m being completely transparent, this type of cheese reminds me of those not-so-sexy, back-in-the-day salad bars that also offered jello. But a recent study provided evidence suggesting that I may want to give cottage cheese a chance in my regular diet.

Help Your Skin Recuperate From a Year of Video Calls, Stress and Neglect

No, it’s not your imagination. The unfortunate reality is that the pandemic has also taken a toll on our skin, making many of us seem to age faster than we otherwise would have. While the pandemic has been with us for 18 months, we may easily look 24 or even 36 months older than we did when it started.

Video calls, staying home and doing home office, juggling family and work, being more sedentary than usual and opting for more convenient but less nutritious foods all conspire against having healthy, supple skin.
