It’s no secret that “lose weight” is one of the number one, if not the number one, New Year’s resolution for both men and women.

Of course, the same old diet approach used year after year is not going to work this new...

But when you’re busy, it can become even harder to make the right, healthy choices for eating. The McDonald’s drive-through is not exactly known for its healthy food choices, and in even busier times...
Believe it or not, there are foods that will actually fuel your workout. You don’t want to feel bloated or too full, but you also need energy and don’t want to feel distracted by hunger pains.
Exercising on a full stomach can cause cramping and nausea, so don’t eat at least thirty minutes before a workout to avoid any side effects. Some...
Like fashion, hair and makeup, supplements go in and out of style. One moment everyone is raving about the benefits of ginko, the next moment it's flax seed oil that will solve all your health and beauty problems.
The supplement business is huge, with over $30 billion (you read that right) being spent in America last year on supplements, according...

In these hectic times, it can be difficult for a couple to find much alone time. During the holiday season it can be downright impossible, but at any time of year, the stress of everyday life can interfere with being a couple as well. Work, fitness, friends, family, it seems at times as if everything else takes priority over a relationship....
Although the cold of the winter months can drive a couple indoors where cabin fever soon sets in, there is no reason that the winter time should stop your dating fun. Of course, there are all the usual winter date activities - skiing, skating, sledding, and other typical winter dates. And don’t forget the classic sipping hot cocoa (or hot toddies...
The holidays can be one of the happiest times of the year for many people, but it can also be the most stressful. Between shopping, decorating, attending parties and all the other minutia holidays involve, stress levels can rise exponentially. And with all that stress bubbling around, arguments seem to only follow. There are many common...
The holidays are a crazy time of year for everyone, and sometimes the whole point of the holidays, connecting with your loved ones, gets overlooked in the hectic craze of the season. It can be hard to juggle all of the events taking place during the holidays, along with decorating, shopping, and other holiday tasks. If this year you are determined...
Holidays can be a very stressful time of the year, between parties, family gatherings, outings with friends, and buying presents. Add in a relationship and sometimes that is all it takes to push your stress level clean over the edge. Studies have shown that as many as thirty percent of relationship breakups happen during the holidays. Looking for...
It’s hard not to be inundated by amazing holiday food choices as you attend office parties, cocktail parties, and festive dinners. Delicious, fattening foods seem to be even more tempting when served with a festive holiday flare. Appetizers can be among the most deadly to your diet, with many packing in almost as many calories as an entrée or...
Holiday parties are a great time to eat, drink, and be merry, but many “fun” cocktails are not so fun when you look at their calorie count. Chocolate martinis and pina coladas both weigh in at 400 calories each (that’s about the equivalent of a hamburger and a small order of fries). And a Long Island iced tea? 800 calories! White Russians are...
