Finding Balance For Your Mind & Body
Our bodies are simply not intended to sit all day. Spending hours in a chair bent over a laptop does a number on your alignment, not to mention the loss of flexibility. In addition, many injuries can be prevented if we keep our bodies limber as we age by stretching […]
Sugar is sneaky and can be found in all sorts of unlikely places. Many people religiously avoid sugar, by skipping dessert, not drinking soda, and keeping no sweets in the house; however, they may be inadvertently consuming sugar in other less obvious places.
