Last week, CNN published a list of “secrets” we shouldn’t keep from our doctors. Among them: If you feel depressed or anxious If you did not follow instructions the doc had previously given you If you have problems peeing or pooping These are good, helpful tips.  We have so little time with our doctors when…

As part snarky native New Yorker, part spiritualish yogini, I can semi feel Gwyneth Paltrow’s pain from the media-whipping she’s gotten for GOOP, her recent holistic lifestyle venture. Launched last September, GOOP (a name made from her initials) aims to educate about things like balance, yoga, healthy-but-tasty eating, detoxing, conscious parenting, and the like in a simple, from-the-heart way. Meaning,…

There are many reasons to rejoice when we “spring forward” and turn the clocks ahead, as we did Sunday morning.  But at least one major study has shown that the spring time change may actually increase the risk of a major heart attack.

While visiting Boca Raton, Florida over the weekend (oh warmth, how I miss you), my step-mom turned me on to GreenWise Market, a sub-chain of mega-grocer Publix.

Oh, and from the “Home and Garden” section, I have three words for…

If we could track and tally everyone’s inner musings, I’m guessing “I feel fat” would make the Top 10 Most Thought list, at least. Over and over I’ve heard average-sized women say it, women svelte as poles say it, women fit and buff as Wonder Woman say it. A true bummer because those three tyrannical words usually just make us feel panicky and bad…

Welcome to the first of what I hope will be regular Foodie Friday features.  Today, popcorn, a yummy way to get your afternoon crunch on without hitting the chip aisle! Popcorn is a whole-grain snack because it contains, well, the whole grain: germ, endosperm, and bran.  It’s rich in antioxidants, fiber, and B vitamins.  Eaten…

Next month, the surviving Beatles will reunite onstage for a concert to raise money to instruct at-risk youth in transcendental meditation (TM), the practice that the Fab Four famously adopted after their life-changing trip to India in 1968. The concert (April 4 at Radio City Music Hall in NYC) is a fundraiser for the David…
