From the Blog: “Today, there are literally hundreds of diet programs, each focusing on something different for staying healthy. Each trainer and instructor has their philosophy of how to get fit. However, there is something that has changed our lives in a good way already and it is best that we rely on it for getting fit as well – it’s the technology.”

Why Texting Should Not Be Used in a NEW Relationship

From the Blog: “There are no amounts of emoticons that make up for the lack of communication cues that are lost in text communication especially when communicating with someone new. Let's be honest if you use text as your main means of communication you have asked "What did they mean by that?" more often than not. You are also likely to be able to recall a situation when you jumped to the wrong conclusion about someone's words.”

Metabolism as We Age

From the Blog: “Starting in your 30's your metabolism drops 2 to 5% per decade. In simpler terms, it becomes harder to utilize calories as we age. The good news is that you can help combat the decline, and keep your metabolism up. The trick is working with your lifestyle and curbing bad habits we develop with such busy schedules.”

From the Blog: “Although I did everything in my power to prevent cancer, I still got cancer. However, the primary tumor was smaller in my breast because I did have a preventative mastectomy 5 years ago. I am thankful for that! I know what you're thinking, ‘How can it be? How can someone get breast cancer after having a preventative mastectomy?’”
