Baby weight! An issue that most women will have to worry about at some point in their lives. So, what can be done about it? Here are some pointers to help new moms regain their pre-pregnancy shape! 1.

December 30th, 2008 | Add a Comment

If I have one vice in my otherwise healthy lifestyle, it’s my large cup of great coffee, everyday. Not one for wanting to own “vices,” I am curious as to why coffee, in moderation, is considered to be one. A good friend recently stated that her doctor had told her she had to quit drinking coffee due to her hypertension (high blood pressure). Watch out? My friend was telling me this quite literally, as she was exhaling cigarette smoke. Did her doctor mention that this behavior is far more than a contributor to high blood pressure. I had to assume the doctor stressed to my friend that smoking, alcohol and being overweight are all high contributors to her increased blood pressure, as there is considerable evidence that these things do … Read entire article »
