by Wellness Editor
About Me View My Posts
Shingles is a condition that causes a painful, blistering rash, hitting roughly 1 million people each year in the U.S. It is caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox, the varicella zoster virus.

It can cause a number of symptoms, often leading... 2/14/2025 5:00:00 AM

That’s the good news. But, like everything in this world that sounds too-good-to-be-true, you also need to pay attention to the “bad news.” These over-the-counter, teeth-enhancement kits are, first... 11/8/2024 5:00:00 AM

Like other systems in your body, the better you maintain your brain, the more efficiently it’s going to run. Your cognitive reserve, or your brain’s ability to problem-solve and adapt around complex issues, can decline over time. Brain games and crossword puzzles might help, but you’ll need more than mental exercises to keep your reserves at their best. Good diet and proper exercise are vital to proper... 3/24/2025 4:00:00 AM
