Are You Truly Being Mindful in Your Daily Lives?
In today’s busy lifestyle we often lose track of the importance of “just being.” When is the last time you sat quietly and listened to your own breathing, not thinking about the stresses of your day? The answer for most would be, rarely. Research is now showing that being mindful can help you reduce stress which in turn leads to a decrease in stress induced inflammation that a lot of us have.

Read MoreDo You Have All the Facts About Mammograms?
As a woman you are expected to get a mammogram as you age. But is that really the best test for breast cancer? Is your doctor giving you all the facts?
