• What Would You Do With Four Hours?
  30/04/2008 | Time Management
  How many times have you made the excuse that you do not have time to eat healthy, exercise, or even get control of your finances? I admit that I am guilty of doing this; especially with the things I am not crazy about in the first place. One of the biggest reasons for our “lack of time” is the TV. A recent study done by Nielson shows that the average American household now has more TVs than people, and we are spending more than a third of our day with them turned on. Read
  
• Protect Your Head: Bike Safety
  30/04/2008 | Health
  Warm weather seems like it is finally here to stay, and with that comes outdoor activities that you can now enjoy on a much more frequent basis. It is the perfect time of year for one of my favorite activities, bike riding. This means that it is also a good time for a reminder about wearing a bike helmet. Wearing a bike helmet can reduce injury by up to 88%, and reduces injury to the face by 65%. You should have no excuse not to wear one. Read

• Take a Vacation
  28/03/2008 | Stress Management
  I am sure you know of at least one reason why you need to take vacation. Some reasons include spending quality time with your family, taking a break from work, or to simply regroup so you can go back to work feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. So why do so many Americans’ vacation days go unused and how much is this trend costing you? Read
  
• Salad: Friend or Foe?
  28/03/2008 | Nutrition
  What is the first thing you hear people talk about eating when they mention that they are going on a diet? The thing that comes to my mind is salads. Everyone turns to salads when they want to improve their eating habits but there are two things you should be aware of. First, when you go on a “diet” you do not have to restrict yourself to eating salads in order to lose weight. Second, salads are not always a healthy choice. Read
  
• Invest in Good Health
  11/03/2008 | Health
  Picture yourself at 65 or 70 years old. How do you see yourself? Do you envision a vibrant, energized elder person, or do you see someone in poor health that cannot walk up and down the stairs? Read
  
• Break for Lunch
  05/03/2008 | Nutrition
  I will be the first to admit that I am guilty of the bad habit of eating lunch at my desk. I bring my lunch to work everyday and it is easier to sit at my desk and get a little bit of work done than it is to trek down to the cafeteria. Eating lunch (or any meal, for that matter) at your desk is not a healthy habit. Read
  
• Healthy Ideas for Vacationers
  26/02/2008 | Health
  I know it is not always easy to be healthy when you are on vacation, especially when you get out of your regular routine and would rather lie at the pool or on the beach than spend time in a gym. It is also difficult to find healthy options at restaurants when you have to eat out for every single meal. I recently returned from vacation where I discovered it is possible to maintain some semblance of health if you get creative. Read
