I have a few friends who've expressed that they'd rather not go to a gym or recreation center to exercise because they're embarrassed. They're overweight... and they don't want other people watching them. Although I'm not overweight, I can understand...

I've got some important news for you regarding The Health Blog. In case you didn't notice, I didn't post anything new in October. That's because I was busy with other writing projects and felt I needed a break from my...
