The holiday season is a time for women to be more wary of their environment. The
criminal element likes to take advantage of women when things get busier and many
of us are rushing around everywhere with our minds elsewhere. During this time it is
very important when coming and going from malls and stores to be even more aware of
what is going on around us. There are some safety precautions all of us must take but
particularly women.

After having a baby, most women want to bounce back into shape right
away. At least, that‘s the ideal scenario. The reality is that it takes a little
longer than a couple of weeks to get back to that desired shape—a tough
lesson to learn for me after my daughter was born. New moms need not fret,
however, because with the right nutrition and a little exercise, they will be
well on their way to success.

Last summer, in August, I was invited to attend the first annual Valor Games Midwest. The Games is open to all military, both disabled and otherwise, and are held in the downtown Chicago area in locations such as U.S. Cellular Field and Soldier Field. I competed in the archery, but chose not to do the powerlifting / bench press as it was obvious that I was the largest and strongest on there, and didn't wish to make any of the other competitors feel bad.

How many times have you woken up in the morning with "a crick in your neck" or pain so bad that you just want to roll back over and go to sleep? You are not alone, it's estimated that 70% of people will have neck pain at some point in their lives. Neck pain is not only a literal pain in our necks but it can also effect productivity and our quality of life too. Many of those people will ignore their neck pain but some will get treatment from a doctor or other health care practitioner. But how do you know what treatment is right for you?

Written by: David Haas

A common tool of preventive medicine has been realized to be an important
complimentary therapy for cancer. Exercise has been studied extensively for its
power to combat the risk of developing many forms of cancer, and it is now gaining even more attention for the benefits conferred on cancer patients and survivors. As might be expected, from what is known about exercise and prevention, physical activity reduces the risk of cancer recurrence after successful treatment. It also works to improve the survival rate of those undergoing treatment.
