Our ragedy band of future exercise professionals determined that being fit is "having the capacity to do all required and desired activities without undue stress or risk of injury". I don't think that the American College of Sports Medicine has adopted our definition... 11/15/2007 4:52:15 AM
by OTM mindbody We got quite a Happy World Diabetes Day shock today!

by Nina Atwood, M.Ed., LPC There are about as many definitions of soul mate as you can imagine. We've been trying to define this term for literally thousands of years to no avail. I'll try to cut through the confusion by offering mine. A soul mate is a person with whom you feel a deep connection that may even defy logic.

by Diana Lang I like to think of life's momentous experiences like beads on a string. Those moments that are important, valuable or rare are like beautiful colored beads that we lovingly thread onto this string of beads. Each bead symbolically represents a moment, an experience, a special person. As life goes on a gorgeous necklace of our lives is created, full of these moments that have meant something to us. This... 11/14/2007 8:55:49 AM

Johnston The holidays are nearly upon us, and the New England Journal of Medicine reports: - The average American gains at least five (5) pounds during the 6-week holiday period - The weight gained during this 6-week holiday period accounts for most of the weight gained over the year - The more overweight a person is at the beginning of the holidays, the more likely they are to gain five (5) or more pounds... 11/13/2007 1:44:47 PM

by Beth Rosenshein Hormone replacement therapy is used when the body makes less of a hormone than it needs. The purpose of any hormone replacement is to make a person healthier. Hormone replacement therapy is one of the most successful areas of modern medical science. In sharp contrast, women are being told that HRT for ovarian failure is not a healthy choice and that untreated hypogonadism (menopause) is a healthier... 11/12/2007 7:20:07 AM
by EdgeUtainment A Goal, Huh, What's That? If you ask most people what their goals are for the next three to five years, they would give you a look like, huh? Most people don't even know where they are going to be in a year, much less any longer and, truthfully, most people maybe only know where they will be Friday night for the best happy hour spot. The reality is most people don't set goals and, therefore, have no... 11/9/2007 9:40:10 AM
