by Wellness Editor Immune system support is important all the time, but in the time of a pandemic, this is especially true now. Most of us are doing what we can to stay safe and healthy, but are there actions we can take to support our bodies that go beyond simply eating well and finding the discipline to exercise?

On its face, the state of working out seems like the precise opposite of the state of being asleep.The actual research is mixed on the subject. There's no doubt that working out has effects that don't seem conducive to a... 3/4/2022 6:00:00 AM

by Fred Fletcher While it is normal for people to age as they get older, it is not normal to be the victim of premature aging. This can happen when people are (because of bad decisions or through harmful environmental factors) exposed to harmful things unnecessarily. The human body is a wonderfully created piece of equipment and it can take a lot of punishment but that is no excuse to abuse it. People who abuse their... 3/2/2022 6:00:00 AM
