- How To Prevent Medicine From Making You Sick
By: Ruthan Brodsky | -
For a few weeks my colleague had a few cramps and wasn't feeling 100 percent but ignored it and kept up with her work and life. Then one evening the pain was excruciating and she found herself in the Emergency Room. After tests and scans her physician asked her how much she drinks because her liver had all the signs of sclerosis of the liver.

- Do You Know That Vitamin D Can Make A Big Difference?
By: Ruthan Brodsky | - Have you started to wonder whether you are one of those people who, in your efforts to prevent skin cancer, may have impaired your brain function because you have a deficiency of vitamin D.?
This is the sunshine vitamin so called because it is synthesized in our skin when we are exposed to direct sunlight. On the other hand, if you are like me, we wear sun block to prevent cancer and sun block impedes this synthesizing process.

- The Benefits Of Bugs: Probiotics
By: Ruthan Brodsky | - Probiotics are live micro organisms, mostly bacteria, that are similar to the micro organisms found in the human gut. They are also called the friendly or the good bacteria.

- Working For Yourself In Midlife With A Career Change
By: Ruthan Brodsky | -
The trend for boomers leaving the corporate world and starting their own business started in the late 1990s and gradually grew for the next ten years. This economy has pushed the trend to a new level.
In the early movement for midlife entrepreneurship the questions were:

- Are You Thinking About Working During Retirement?
By: Ruthan Brodsky | - Most working Americans want to keep working when they retire. Regardless of their economic condition, 4 out of 10 people want to keep working primarily because they enjoy what they do. Another 30 percent say they need to keep working because they will need the money.
The fact is falling home values, value declines in 401 Ks and other retirement accounts are forcing many Americans to re-evaluate their needs. The sad truth is more than half of those now retired are concerned about ...

- Are You At Risk For Diabetes?
By: Ruthan Brodsky | - If you are not exercising, if you are overweight, and if you are eating a diet heavy in starchy, sugary goods, you are setting yourself up for diabetes.

- Is Calorie Restriction Healthy?
By: Ruthan Brodsky | - Calorie control is not about just losing weight anymore. A relatively new trend known as calorie restriction is in the news more frequently. It is a regimen that involves reducing the amount of food you eat to reduce the number of calories you take in over a period of time.
It is a long term regimen involving scaling back on the amount you eat by up to 25 percent fewer calories than your body needs to stay at its normal weight. And this is done in an effort to slow the aging pro ...

- Throwing Money And Energy Out Your Windows
By: Ruthan Brodsky | - No questions whether windows are necessary in your home or office. They are a source of light, a source for a view and a source for air circulation depending upon the temperature. However, when it comes to energy, windows can cost you a bundle.

By: Ruthan Brodsky | - The negative impact or the report of zero results of many foods and supplements has been reported throughout the years.

- Boomers Learn To Keep Their Home Safe From Harmful Chemicals

- Heart Failure Can Be Managed
By: Ruthan Brodsky | - Heart failure is a confusing and frightening term for many people.
Many think heart failure means that the heart has stopped beating. What it really means is that your heart is not working as powerfully and as efficiently as it should.
In other words the pump is broken. Either the heart isn't able to fill up with enough blood or pump with enough force, or both. If the heart is not pumping as efficiently as it should, then your need for oxygen and nutrients is also n ...

- Sleep Problems Solved Naturally
By: Ruthan Brodsky | - Ads for over-the-counter products and prescription medications to help you fall asleep and stay asleep are in all the media including TV, radio, online, and on the backs of buses. Most of us, however, prefer to find a way in which we do not have to take any more medications even if they just come from the drugstore shelf. We would be much happier if we could figure out how to deal with our sleeping problems more naturally.
One of the problems is that as we age we tend to have more ...

- Choosing A Gym That Works For You
By: Ruthan Brodsky | - Gym memberships cost money. If you are not absolutely positive that you will use the gym, do not waste your money.
If you have never been to a gym they probably all look the same to you; they are not. And selecting the right gym for you is not as trivial as it seems. Many of the things you should be looking for are obvious and may be overlooked. For example, how qualified are the instructors? Are any of them qualified to work with people who have arthritis? Are the instructors exp ...

- How Fit Is Your Heart
By: Ruthan Brodsky | - To answer the question about how fit is your heart you need to know that there is an important difference between what many of us think of as fitness,how long we can exercise before getting tired and out of breath,to the fitness level of your heart as measured during a stress test.

- Listening Is Your Most Effective Marketing Tool
By: Ruthan Brodsky | - Have you ever had someone interrupt you before you finished your sentence? Or talk too much? or respond too quickly? Of course you have, we all have.
Sometimes feels like a slap in the face. Other times it feels as if your contribution to the conversation has been cut off at the knees. Most of the time you get the impression that this person is not interested in what you have to say so you end the conversation. Your goal then is to find someone else to talk with whom you can hav ...

- Better Nutrition Needed As You Age
By: Ruthan Brodsky | - We all know that we are better off with good nutrition. Foods fried in trans fats, or eight ounces of meat daily, or lots of cheese casseroles are not going to help us. Even so, many people over age 50 do not eat a healthful diet.
The problem is that as we get older, many factors influence how much we eat. Frequently this results in eating less which now makes us even more vulnerable to poor health. To make matters more sketchy, as we get older our immune system doesn't work as we ...

- Making Changes In Your Career
By: Ruthan Brodsky | - Last month the country lost 598,000 jobs, the largest month of job losses since the energy crisis of 1974. About 3.5 million jobs have been lost in the last year. The current downturn is more severe than many of us want to admit.
While joblessness is higher for lesser-educated workers, the recession has increasingly reached into the white-collar world. Most of the U.S. economy is now in services from accounting to lawyering.
Joblessness has no respect for age, eith ...

- Affiliate Marketing Is A Tool For Starting Your Own Business
By: Ruthan Brodsky | - I was fortunate enough to have a mentor who explained affiliate marketing to me when I first decided to redirect my writing and training skills toward the Internet. The income that I received from advertising, writing about products created by others, helped pay for seminars and classes that I needed to become successful. It also helped pay for some of the software that was required for my business.
One of the major reasons I like Affiliate Marketing is that it can get people star ...
