It seems that mainstream medicine has just discovered you can get fat without eating more.

Lose Weight To Slow Aging
Here at my Wellness Center, I see a lot of new patients who want to lose weight. They'd like to look better and have more energy. Those are both good reasons to slim.

Nature’s Most Perfect Hydration System
Tennis and cycling are two of my favorite sports. Here in South Florida, I can enjoy both year-round. But in the summer heat and humidity – which can last for five or six months here – it's vital to stay hydrated. Sweat is your body's way to keep cool when you're active.

Could a flower outsmart your body’s fat cells?
I’d heard that in this faraway island paradise, there’s no word for “diet.” But I was still surprised to see what my new friends in Bali, Lelir and Westi, had made us for dinner. I expected them to eat like birds, but every single dish on the table was rich, creamy or sweet. My first bite… Read More
