Eyes are, without a doubt, two of the most important parts of the body. This isn’t because they’re some kind of window into the soul, nor is it because of their beauty for those lucky enough to own a pretty pair. No, it’s simply because they give you the ability to see the world for […]
There are many things that people take for granted when it comes to their health. Unfortunately, in many cases these things they can fail an individual slowly over time or – sadly – suddenly stop working. One of these is hearing, which is arguably the most important thing a person has alongside sight and speech. […]

Preparing healthy meals when you’re out boating can be difficult. That’s why people tend to stock up on prepackaged, processed foods before boating trips. Those foods are handy, but they are often unhealthy and lacking in nutritional value. With a few adjustments though, it is easy to have convenient, healthy meals, even while out on […]
We all know the benefits that can come with a good massage. If we’re feeling stressed, a massage can help us relax and ease that pressure.

Since the divorce several months ago, Martha’s life had turned upside down. She used to have at least a little time for herself. Not anymore! Working full time and taking care of two young kids was more of a struggle then she thought. Her energy levels were not what they used to be, her mood […]
A few months ago, RadioShack® asked me if I would like to review two of their pedometers. Of course, I accepted since I’ve found pedometers to be a good way to motivate people to exercise more. They shipped them out promptly and I quickly put them to the test. At first, I tested the pedometers […]

It’s 3:00pm on Monday, you are at work, and you are starting to get the mid afternoon munchies. You go into the break room searching for something healthy to eat, but unfortunately all you find is a half eaten store bought chocolate sheet cake left over from a co-worker’s birthday and some greasy pizza. Not […]
Living to a ripe old age has always been a goal of mine. For that reason, any news story about someone that has lived to a hundred or beyond gets my attention immediately.

Maybe we’re slightly burned out because we’ve been exercising too hard for too long without breaks, maybe something in our work or personal lives is consuming all our attention, or maybe we’re recovering […]
I received these two products from RadioShack© for review and since I’m both into exercise and a Director of Rehabilitation for a skilled nursing facility, I decided to test these out in a couple distinctly different settings with different types of users. First, I wanted to see how well they would work both around the […]
