Tea one up for better immune function

My daughter and her design studio friends in college put in a lot of  late nights getting projects ready to turn in. In addition to consuming massive coffee, she and her fellow late nighters are drinking a lot of green tea as well. She buys the loose leaf stuff in the fancy store in the [...]

Tis’ the political (argument) season. And immune health may be suffering for it.

You ever wonder why so many political consultants and managers seem a bit sickly, overweight, pale, etc.? They live in a world of conflict, of attack mode politics, of demonizing. And they live it 24/7. The pros who make it big in this field endure this existence for years. Or how about a manager or [...]

The Big 8…and one more

Just came across an interesting article from a site called Organic Authority. The article highlights its selection of “The 8 Most Nutrient-Dense Foods on Earth.”

Some of the winners you’d expect: blueberries, spinach, broccoli. Others were bit more exotic:  hemp seeds, chia seeds and, the winner, spirulina (algae). If I could add another, it might [...]

Here’s a brief explanation.

Stress can alter the bacterial composition of the digestive tract. When that happens, good/bad bacteria [...]

Start the New Year with The Five S’s.

Now that 2012 is under way, how about a simple resolution for lifelong health that you can easily remember:  The Five S’s. Or Sx5.

The Five S’s refer to five things you can do to maintain optimal immune health. In my book, these measures will also impact many other health areas, including weight, cardio, [...]

The plane ride from hell…and how I survived

My family and I went to Scotland over the holiday. Had a wonderful time. Now that I’m home and back to the work-a-day grind, I’mreflecting on why I might have gotten through that trip relatively unscathed, healthwise. Here’s my list of what potentially could have sidelined me during the trip, but didn’t:
