It’s winter in many places across the globe, and many have some of the snowiest weather in years. This can mean stress on the body, specifically in the back, from women using the wrong style shovel or poor technique when removing snow.

While this isn’t breaking news, it is worthy of repeating: small changes last a lifetime. It is the beginning of March and many New Year’s resolutions have likely been thrown to wayside and not for lack of heart or willpower. How many people do you know went from couch potato to epitome-of-health in one month? [...]

“Come on, Michele. Eating bread won’t kill you. Just have some with me. You don’t have to be perfect.” Or “You know Michele, she always has to be the healthy one.” Here’s another one: “I know you wouldn’t drink juice, but I do like to have it once in awhile.” These are comments I hear [...]
It’s fitting right? We celebrate Valentine’s Day in February. The heart is the symbolic shape of Valentine’s Day.
