So Just What the Heck is Snoring, Anyway?Technically, snoring is defined as any resonant noise from the respiratory tract that emerges during sleep.Biologically, snoring refers to a vibration in the airway connecting the nose and the mouth; a vibration that can emerge through the mouth, the nose, or (as some non-snorers are painfully aware), it can emerge through both!As you can sense, the more narrow the airway, generally speaking, the more...more
If you have just a little weight to lose, and want to take it off fast (say, so you can fit into those great pants for your cousin's wedding), there are a number of diets that you can use. Most of these wouldn't be recommended for long-term weight loss, as they substantially restrict your intake of some essential nutrients, so using them habitually may not be healthy. But if you're normal diet is healthy, and you just want a quick boost to drop...more
If you're one of the "still" surprisingly many that justcan't get the sleep thing right, keep reading! How manytimes a week do you wake up where you can't figure out ifyou're getting up or going to bed or you wake up with a headache, numb leg or that stiff neck that goes right to the shoulder blade and you can't look left or right, what's that about?

Last week I did it againmade a trip to deposit a check at our local bank only to discover once I got there, that my check was nowhere to be found. Hadn't I tucked it inside one of the pockets of my purse? I ransacked my clutch bag, emptying every pocket onto the ledge of the ATM machine. Where did the check go?I returned home and found the check neatly tucked inside another purse. This has been a familiar scenario with me since I turned 50. I cannot help but wonder if memory loss is an unavoidable part of menopause. Is this an irreversible condition that we can more or less resign ourselves to as we move on in years?Much to my surprise, recent studies suggest otherwise. In one study, 803 women between the age of 42-52 were tested once each year over the course of 6 years. The results showed that memory performance improved by an average of 3% among the women, an improvement that surprised even the researchers themselves.What do these results mean? One conclusion is that there is really no concrete evidence behind the assumption that declining estrogen levels in the brain are responsible for memory loss experienced by so many menopausal women.Other studies suggest that as women go...more
