Do You Have Tight Neck and Back Pain? Check your posture.

Do you suffer from chronic upper body pain or tightness? Or in need of a daily back massage from stress? If you are using your smartphone, tablet, or hunched over a keyboard all day (whoops, like I am now writing this) you may have “tech” neck with related stress and pain running from your neck down your back to your hamstrings.

Try this simple program to get started. You will just do 20 mins of interval training for your...

More times than none this is not healthy kind. The Standard American Diet (S.A.D.) promotes a diet rich in fat, salts, refined sugars and processed meats. As a result, Americans are seeing a several point rise in body mass index (BMI), which indicates the amount of body fat and is linked to risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease. What can you do? A great first step is to look into a Weight Loss Program. When you're looking for a program, it's wise to look for one that will meet your needs and set you up...

Want a Receipt With That? No Thanks!

Just say no to the paper receipt. By: Shelley Butler The last time you went to the mall, did the salesclerk ask you if you wanted your receipt handed to you, in the bag, or emailed to you?

BPA You may have heard of BPA in plastics, baby bottles (which has recently been banned by the FDA), and as...
