Tacos aren’t just for Tuesday anymore. Nor are they an occasional, guilty indulgence. Done right, -tacos can actually be healthy. That’s the reasoning behind the newest dietary cleanse referred to as the taco cleanse. Can replacing one, two or three meals a day with tacos be healthy? It’s called the taco cleanse, and it’s doctor-approved. There is a catch, however, so before you go out and hit up all...

While its true that death rates due to breast cancer have been steadily decreasing since 1989, it's also true that about 12% of American women will develop breast cancer during the course of their lifetime. The cause of breast cancer is still somewhat unknown, but there are well-known risk factors associated with this disease. Getting older plays a big role.

About 45 million people in the U.S. go on a diet every year. So there's no denying that we all live in "diet culture" because it's everywhere. The urge to lose weight, and the product someone is shilling to help us do it are in almost every commercial and in every store. From fads and crash diets to tried and true eating plans, everyone has a suggestion. But this deeply pervasive diet culture may be...

Love them or hate them, it sure does seem like mushrooms are a polarizing food. For those who love to eat them, there are many benefits to making them a regular part of a well-balanced diet.

Mushrooms...

Can you relate to any of the following? - I follow all the rules, but I still can't lose the weight. I'm just getting old and my metabolism is slow. It's genetic. There's nothing I can do. Maybe I need to accept that I'm fat, and give up my skinny clothes. Nutrition strategies that work for others don't seem to apply to me. I lose 5 pounds, and then I gain 7! - I hear these comments frequently from...

According to a poll recently published in -The Independent-, the typical person will have attempted 126 diets throughout their lifetime. Many of us are willing to jump on just about any bandwagon with the promise of improved health or a slimmer waistline — but sticking to a new regimen is often easier said than done — and making it a permanent change is even -more- difficult. In fact, the average diet...

Diets and weight loss programs seem to hit us in the face every time we turn around. From social media and even in an email, to the latest fads our friends are trying (or selling). Yet this knowledge of the ubiquitous diet is juxtaposed against the fact that while more Americans are pursuing ways to slim down than ever, they are often not achieving, or maintaining, their goals. The Importance of Long-Term...

Some parents who have a child with ADHD believe that diet may play a significant role in treatment and care. Common thinking says that children who have this condition may feel more settled and focused when they eat, or don’t eat, certain foods. The jury is still out on whether or not these measures have actual benefit, so we'd advise caution while trying to decide. But enough parents have seen a difference...

Rashes, gastrointestinal symptoms and body aches can be concerning, especially when there's no explanation. Even after routine testing, it can take a while for doctors to come up with a diagnosis. Some people conclude that their problems are, at least partially, related to diet. But how do you learn to fine-tune what you're doing other than to "eat healthy"? One option is to pinpoint the underlying...

Many people want thick tresses or long, lustrous locks, but unfortunately, genetics and lifestyle choices often derail these goals. Moisturizing shampoos and strand-smoothing styling products may help improve hair’s appearance, but surface treatments can only do so much. Sometimes it’s difficult to get the hair we want no matter how often we deep condition or schedule regular trims. Genetics can leave...
