Hey, take it easy when opening those Christmas gifts. Each year an estimated 300,000 people visit the hospital as a result of lacerations incurred from packaging. This peaks, of course, on Christmas day and the following couple days. Here's a great example of what NOT to do:

Terrific video from Dr. Ron Klatz, who is one of the founders of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine. Do yourself a big favor--watch this before taking your next flight!

This is an important video. Nearly 1/2 the adults in the United States are deficient in Vitamin D and this deficiency has been linked to cancer and other diseases. I want you all to get educated about this, get your vitamin D levels tested, and take a Vitamin D supplement, particularly during the Winter months. Dr. Joseph Mercola, by the way, recommends adults take 5,000 units of vitamin D daily.

Guest column by Sandy Alcide: First there was green tea, touted for its ability to help lose weight and destroy free radical damage (free radical damage is generated from environmental factors like sun exposure and pollution, that causes premature aging of skin.) But, credible research discoveries prefer "white tea" as being three times more effective for the skin than green tea! For those of you who dislike wearing sunscreen but love your outdoor activity: white tea protects the skin and helps to reverse some of the damage from staying out in the sun too long. And for those who are...

Ann Arbor, Mich. — If obesity trends continue, the negative effect on the health of the U.S. population will overtake the benefits gained from declining smoking rates, according to a study by U-M and Harvard researchers published today in the New England Journal of Medicine. “Obesity plays a large role in life expectancy,” said co-author Allison B. Rosen, assistant professor in the Department of Internal Medicine at the University of Michigan. “Despite the fact that we are smoking less, body-mass indexes (BMI) are going up. These increases in obesity are overtaking these changes in smoking behaviors.” Using a technical analysis...
