 By definition, I am a fast eater. At some point growing up, I have developed the habit of consuming my food rather quickly. Now is this a good or bad thing?

 It is that time of year when we all start to be concerned about colds and flu. Some of you will get flu shots and some will not, either way we all have a chance of catching a seasonal illness. It would be an understatement to say that our immune system is under constant attack.
 Genetic testing is turning the corner on pre-screening technology in many ways. Imagine the benefits of knowing ahead of time your health risks based on genetic precursors that could be passed on to your off spring.

 When you spend a fair amount of time talking with different people about health, you tend to touch on the same topics over and over again.

 I want to touch on one of the most common and disappointing feelings anyone can have when pursuing changes in weight, physical fitness, body composition or improving their quality of life. It's that all too familiar point where we feel stuck, in a rut, and nothing we do seems to move the dial toward a positive outcome. Once that awful stuck feeling sinks in, progress just stops
